Compared to internal-combustion cars, electric cars are much more of a commodity, specifically, the hardware is a commodity. In the the long run, this will hurt manufacturers in high-cost countries.

Thanks. I detest that guy's stuff, but didn't know how to say so as nicely as you did.

Deliberately and cynically scamming millions of their customers could have something to do with VW's loss of brand value.

I completely agree, and I'm glad someone wrote so eloquently about this. I listen to a lot of audiobooks (often for book clubs), i.e. which don't require handling a physically printed cover, and I've really enjoyed the experi

From the Wikipedia page: "His father, Alfred Case Munger, was a lawyer.[2] His grandfather was Thomas Charles Munger, a U.S. district court judge and state representative.[3]" This is not the billionaire white guy who can empathiz

Define "occasional." I drink about one soft drink per year, and it's a Coke. (Which reminds me, I don't think I've had my drink for 2023!) If all world citizens limited themselves to my rate of indulgence, Berkshir

That's a very broad question. Since you're asking, I assume that you do not enjoy high energy all day. First of all, the cause for low energy may be mental or it may be physical. Don't assume that because you feel tired in y

Your second paragraph made me LOL - thanks! Similar experience here, listening to the C-Squared interview. > I think his focus on games that can vs can't lead to higher earnings is interesting. The root problem, or least one of them

And ... Chamath is now worth about $1B, and is generally perceived as being "very successful." A good PR firm and some well-placed donations should silence any remaining dissenters.

There is no large long-term double-blind controlled study comparing a vegetarian/vegan diet to some omnivore diet - and there never will be. The only diet studies are observational, and they are unreliable in all kinds of ways. The fam

I think that's going a bit far. Technology commercialization by universities is the way any academic research (potentially, eventually) reaches the public, and it's quite normal for the original researchers to be involved in the c

Unlike a chess game, a tennis match can't be lost with a single "blunder," unless it's a serious injury ... so I'm not sure it's a good analogy, mathematically speaking. We should ask Marc Esserman.

Interesting. He concludes that cheating in Titled Tuesday must be virtually non-existent. Many elite GMs (even those more level-headed than Kramnik) would strongly disagree.

Even better - for some models it's $69 from Apple, and around $50 from third-party providers. Source: I replaced my iPhone battery last week.

It's well-established that iPhones have longer average lives than Android phones.

I've been enjoying _The Practicing Stoic_ recently. Wade Farnsworth does a great job of tying together lessons and a framework from a bunch of different stoic thinkers.

The amount of cash that Microsoft has paid to OpenAI is relatively small, much less than the $13B number that gets thrown around. And I'm sure they're getting their money's worth. E.g. the last time I heard or thought of Bing

I'm sure it's not Emmett's fault, but ChatGPT is having problems right now. It's failing to generate Python code - first time I've seen this in months of heavy usage.

"Can't interview for a whole year" is the exception - six months is more common. Unless you're a specialist in a narrow technical area, there's an essentially infinite number of potential employers. Not applying oft

Deca-unicorns don't come along every day. How would Sam Altman build another one? (I'll be impressed if he does.)

Reminds me of the story of Chinggis Khan's burial: "It's also said that after the Khan was laid to rest in his unmarked grave, a thousand horsemen trampled over the area to obscure the grave's exact location. Afterward,

I assumed that the headline was an example of nonsense text generated by ChatGPT (to what end?) - turns out that would have been better than the truth.

You're entitled to your opinions. But as far as I can tell, unless you are in the exec suites at both OpenAI and at Microsoft, these are just your opinions, yet you present them as fact.
