Is it premature to say beanie babies or tulips have run their course? There will continue to be many hardcore fans of tulips and crypto regardless of the price, but marketcap adjusted for inflation has passed the max

Crypto has run it's course, I don't think Gary did anything wrong by helping the crypto experiment happen. But YC is about the future, not the past.

I'm running 1660 ti on Windows 11. I'm thinking about getting a 3090 so that I can make higher resolution images. Gfpgan runs much faster for me 5 seconds per picture

Congrats! What is going to happen of the next few years with AI is going to be mind blowing. The more people you can stear away from crypto and towards democratizing AI, the better, IMO.

It is amazing how many lawyers are completely incompetent at everything other than billing. I expect that they will write a letter complaining that they are being harassed by Hotz and his associates and are cancelling the lawsuit for their

Historically, he is correct. It is easy to find people that were against TVs, Cars, Trains, Electric Cars. Those people were not entirely wrong with their logic. Trains and cars did make it much easier for scammers to come into a town and t

Yes. And boses don't want to admit that they have no idea how to measure employee productivity, because that would mean that their own productivity is bad. Now maybe there is hope that the boses boss could detect lack of work of those

But your tax bills do not have to be denominated in USD. IF all the politicians agreed that taxes should be collected in gold, we would have a gold based tax system.

Also I'm assuming it is hard to do this kind of project internally because it seems so cool. A lot of employees would be upset if they were not allowed to take part.

All monetary systems are dependent on narratives to have real world value. If everyone stopped believing in the value of the dollar, it's real world value would plummet. The cash in my wallet would still exist but it would be of no val

It becomes much less of a greenhouse gas, does that make more sense?

Methane goes away after 20 years. Carbon Dioxide stays around for thousands of years. We should spend 100% of our resources transitioning to extremely cheap sustainable electric energy. That is the only option for turning the tide on clima

All you have to do is look at press releases from 8 years ago and see how many of those plans actually happened. You should expect the plans from today to work out similarly.

Imagine if there were 100 gun murders in a city in one year and you had a magic box that was 100% accurate at detection of location of gun shots within 1 mile and the city could only afford to buy 10 magic boxes. Would you put those magic b

The exchange rate doesn't matter. What matter is the change in the exchange rate. Commodities like food and gas go to the highest bidder usually. If country A is paying $10/pound for bacon and country B is also paying $10/pou

You should walk a day in their shoes. Hand someone a screw and the next day someone else will come up and ask for a new monitor, and when you ask for them to request a monitor in the ticket system they will get all upset and talk about how

"productive" means shipping code to these people. They are trying to minimize how often someone says "we are blocked on deploying that code"

The big advantage of microservices is organizational not technical. You can hire teams and tell them that they are responsible for an API that receives specific data and should return specific data. These teams can operate independently. Yo

Similarly, I was at a startup and revenue growth had stopped. They decided to blame the dev team for not making features fast enough. I don't know what happened between that time and two years later when they shutdown, but I'm sur

I have never been laid off. Not because I'm an especially good engineer, but because I have a good understanding of business and internal politics. I would have been fired from 4 of my 7 jobs eventually if I hadn't left.

Part of the reason the 2008 crises happened was because consumers signed up for loans they shouldn't have (Dumb Money). So to avoid another disaster maybe we should also make it more difficult for that same type of Dumb Money to go i

The only 'legal' purpose is speculation around 'decentralized innovation'. It is legal to speculate that Bitcoin or NFTs may be more useful someday, therefore more in demand. Obviously that makes it no different than bea
