I'm guessing they won't move very far up the stack for the time being. It seems to me that once a process is able to be software-itized at least two things happen. One it comes under that old adage that any computing program/

Do you have a source/ranking I can take a look at here? Hadn't heard of that and it totally changes the game.(no pun intended)

To answer your question is complicated because of the existence of Centaurs[1]. I will say that the fact that entities like Renaissance [2] exist is proof that there are still some humans that are better than machine learning algorithms. No

I care a lot about outcomes at the individual level. I worry that with these systems, generally health will improve because there will be a level of standardization, but specifically it will get worse. An analogy for me is with furniture, b

I don't know about your comparison. Scientifically speaking Google search results and Bing's are nearly identical. And this is born out in the fact that Google's cost of acquiring traffic is going up while their ad CPMs on se

I think there are a lot more roads/freeways now than back then as other commenters have pointed out. We've built our cities for cars, not for people. One possible side-effect of self driving cars, is it may make it safer for kids

gov't is currently optimized with only two of three core primitives (literacy+numeracy). Gov't like all institutions will be re-developed with the relatively (50years) new primitive, computeracy. Nothing like automation and disagr

Tesla recovers a lot more of the individual vehicle cost as future R&D than Mercedes. That's probably a good thing as they are a start-up and Mercedes is a company delivering a few orders of magnitude more cars. Don't think it

The industry will change/disappear overnight. Trucking will be 4x cheaper with 2x the transportation capacity when you remove the trucker. Doesn't matter how much unionized, etc. the industry is now. No group survives that.

Yes. most people when confronted with the choice of a cheap shared ride, or the convenience of their own vehicle will choose a cheap shared ride. The cost on a per mile basis, will be close to 10x cheaper. I predict even you will change-ove

so, is there a consulting question in here somewhere... If there are X trees in NYC/SF, and each tree can stay alive if only peed on by 100 dogs per week, how many dogs are in those cities?

Intel Actice Management Technology fits the bill[1]. An out of band processor on select chips. Most likely it's on all the chips and only activated for consumers on the vPro and certain Xeon models. 1. https://en.wikipedia.o

YES. and that's the story that should be highlighted, not some asininely huge number from a shitty accounting implementation. That we are off by more than 10% of the Military budget and 1.8% of the total US budget is nuts. Unrelated: b

bingo, this is an asinine way to do bookkeeping. And reuters shouldn't report based on this kind of waterfall problem. The issue is we're off by ~65B which is over 10% of the budget. That's the scandal someone is misdirecting

by guimarin 10y ago
I'm not confused. The article states that they had 2.8T in adjustments on a ~500B budget. That is totally insane. That the aggregate averages of all those adjustments are 500% of each and every adjustment is inconceivable. Even the mos

I'm all about gov't waste, and oh my god numbers are hard, but pretty sure they fudged it by Billions not Trillions. In the article they mention that the total true-up of all the problems was ~65B. So this headline is off by a cou

This seems like it would work much better on Submarines. You could concoct a Nuclear Submarine that never needs to surface!

I've thought a lot about this and don't think that full autonomy is necessary for Apple's car to be successful. I don't even think they need to be anywhere near as good as Tesla. In fact, they probably can't because

I am not able to load chedder.com, hopefully they can bounce back relatively quickly. [1] Generally, I think this is a pretty good analysis. I think that it's very difficult to predict when this shift is going to happen though. Clearly

I hope there is a way to patch this remotely. TrustZone is on quite a few devices today.[1] If it's not, well, uhh, yeah this is kind of a problem. 1. http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/t

I don't see why I would pay 35% of my holdings to avoid having to pay 3%. Also your plan is impossible because it's not Apple or Facebook or Google the US listed entities that own this money, it's independent country specific

Thanks for the tip. In this case the JS is performing a very important function, helping us to measure distances to multiple pops, so it is better to stay in. I will forward your point about the domain, but I think there is a reason for tha

About 2 years ago we paid $2k to have a solar study done on our house. This is just one data point but the results of that study and Google Sunroof are an order of magnitude apart. And this was from a solar company trying to sell us solar p

This is wrong. Both the students at Cornell and Ithaca university got wealthier, and more people moved to the area/stayed as a result of the schools expanding over the last 20 years. There was a natural increase in demand, which result

This viewpoint is 100% not supported with evidence from any jurisdiction on the planet. The only way to lower rents/costs for the poor without disastrous social consequences is to increase supply of market rate units. There is not othe
