There's a whole bunch of stuff happening that collectively hurts the German economy: - German economy is heavy on manufacturing: Part of their success was cheap raw materials (oil, gas, etc.) from Russia. That edge has disappeared than

Yes but the level of investment the Chinese have poured into battery production and EVs in general is also completely unparalleled. Industrial policy is nothing new for US and EU but just not at that level. To be able to compete with China

I've given the strength of the US economy a lot of thought recently and it comes down to 8 main reasons. The two obvious ones are: - Liberal labour and corporate laws - abundance of resources (fossil fuels + fertile soil) The other 6:

The companies in the Nasdaq don't care much about the US defaulting: The cash (and cash equivalents in treasuries, etc.) don't make up a large part of their market valuation. If US defaults USD will tank and equity prices of publi

When they are focusing on just being an API provider then they will be in a market with (long term) razor thin margins and high competition - most likely unable to build a deep moat. But if you can shape customers habits to always input &qu

The resolution increases but the information doesn't. Apply some compression algorithm on the higher resolution coastline and you will find that you can reduce size massively. Same with LLMs and same with mapping the brain probably.

Lots of biological processes are indeed parallel but that doesn't mean they are all different. Once the most important ones are understood we can reasonably simulate how biology works. Just like you can simulate a much more complex CPU

I remember using this a very long time ago to update some songs in my iTunes library that were just labelled Track 01, 02 and so on. Felt like magic.

While I'm a fierce proponent of wealth taxes, efforts like this one will hurt finances of the EU and the middle class more. Only focusing on the EU means the really rich will just move their assets abroad to avoid taxes. Efforts like t

Work that can be done in front of a computer screen will obviously be replaced first, your examples are the jobs that I consider the last ones to be taken over by machines. And that's when my described scenario would take place - not b

I have a different, albeit probably more cynical take on birth rates. As soon as machines reach feature parity with humans population size will turn into a liability and stop being an asset. And once again the west is ahead of the curve, wi

Theoretically yes but a lot would need to change for that to happen in the US. In reality having a car and traveling lots of miles every day is the cheapest variant for most people.

The US Highway building industry is in many ways a form of a state run social system. First of all the road construction and maintenance uses a huge amount of tax dollars and redistributes it to lower class construction site and road mainte

Completely missing the mark here, sorry to be so blunt. But modern medicine has taken away almost all evolutionary pressures except for regions where healthcare is not available or for some very rare and serious conditions.

So would it be fair to say that the increase in cortisol is also a protection mechanism? Since older bodies are less able to heal injuries the cortisol increase acts to prevent behavior that might damage them?

I believe (maybe someone has a study on this) one of the main drivers of changing social habits among humans is the ratio of dopamine / cortisol. When we're younger dopamine releases happen more frequently, we feel energized, read

What a disingenuous argument by Microsoft - I really hope nobody buys it. Lots of the most mission critical software runs on Linux. They don't have these security issues because they were open from the start.

I'm gonna risk sounding dismissive here but the article very cautiously points at a cause: "While this study wasn’t able to explore specific causes of death, a large body of prior research, much of it published by Khan, has found
