I think the idea is more or less that this has changed. Like how much more hype can you sell when you are approaching 500B valuation, 1 billion users and a huge burn rate. Uber is the classic example of the startup with huge burn and high

I'm a huge fan of Chromebox. Even the oldest ones are great, the only issue is that CEC which can be fixed with an adapter or you can use a media center type remote.

Wind shifts, something breaks, something blows overboard, random water where it shouldn't be. Something is making a funny noise. Some alert on the radio that you didnt catch all of it. Odd smell. People speaking excitedly in a foreign

Interestingly, even in western countries there is basically unlimited demand for agricultural work, and it pays well. The issue is that it's hard work and to get into the higher payment tiers you must take on some risks. Even in small

It's a lot like the first time taking a metal detector to a beach. It's really cool and exciting (dopamine hit) to find stuff, but after a while it wears off because realistically you only found trash. Buuut for some people it ju

He seemed to indicate he was wealthy from selling a company not the social supports of his country. I'm quite sure even most in the EU feel at least some aspects of their life depend on working which makes it more of a chore than a lei

>energy should not be thought of as a profit generator By whom are you referring to? By me? The general public? Or the stock holders of the power company? Energy is a HUGE profit center.

Yeah, that was covered, it was an entrepreneurship class so one of the first things we learned was how to start an LLC and pay ourselves at least enough to get the EIC and to make sure we had enough years to qualify for Medicare. I remember

I'm not sure what numbers you are using / getting, you didn't show the math. But if you start with 30K at 18. You would have ~$800,000 at 65. If you start at 30, and put in $600 a month, each month, until 65. You would have ~

Feudalism but without people actually having to work doesn't sound as bad.

Ok, so AI / Robots take all the jobs. Why is that bad? It's not like the civil war was fought to end slavery because people needed jobs. All people really need is some food and clean water. Healthcare etc is super nice, but I don&

72 Gigs of Ram, 4x SCSI 15K drives I think. Yeah, I mean it's not doing anything crazy running a lot of virtual machines, random servers, probably the most intense thing is video transcoding. It works well though and like I said way wa

I have a server in my office that's at from 2009 still far more economical to run than buying any sort of cloud compute. By at least an order of magnitude.

The only solution to those people starving to death is to kill the people that benefit from them starving to death. It's a solved problem, the solution isn't palatable. No one is starving to death because of a lack of engineering

I don't understand the doomer mindset. Like what is it that you think AI is going to do or be capable of doing that's so bad?

I don't think AGI really means that it is self-aware / conscious. AGI just means that it is able to meaningfully learn things and actually understand concepts that aren't specifically related through tokenized language that i

An important part that could have been beneficial would have been to add, "today". I had a class where the teacher did something similar, but she showed that if you started a ROTH today and contributed only the 4 years you were in

There's no doubt the primary use for "AI" will be generating rage inducing engagement bait to squeeze a few more seconds of advertising into our days.

Nuclear is actually a great example. It's a major scientific accomplishment but pretty much the least cost effective method of energy generation. Nuclear allowed us to generate huge amounts of energy to waste on whatever we like when t

Retire? Anyone with more than about 10-20 million that continues to work has some sort of pathology that leaves them unsatisfied. Normal people rarely even get to that level because they are too busy enjoying life. Anyone making billions h

"Working" but not having to worry about money certainly doesn't sound very exhausting.

I mean just saying that out loud I can exactly see how it works, pretty interesting. Like why do I naturally say Tika faster than ti and ti faster than ta?

It insane to me that anyone, let alone enough people to actually make it happen, would think that was a good policy. It's bussing, but without the busses.

It's questionable the amount of fun. Norway has fairly high depression rates and doing almost anything is very expensive. Even fully employed Norwegians on average go out to eat only a couple of times a year. They also travel less and

What does this mean exactly? "Indebtedness should never exceed obligations." Isn't indebtedness an obligation? So are they not the same thing?

There is really no argument that AI creates some productivity gains. Even if it's just an improved autocomplete. Because autocomplete does create some productivity gains. Pushing farther is murkier though. When it comes to the bulk of
