The stated goal is to "go to mars", the real goal is to make money. He sold his failing but hype business to his soon-to-IPO successful but kinda boring business. It's a way of laundering the debt and dumping into investors a

I wonder what price they'll target. For the specs I think its worth around the same as a PS5 so maybe around 600-650 but everything points out at this not happening. I think in the end this will sadly be bought by scalpers, rich people

Because you look at the work from the perspective of a programmer, not the perspective of a regular person. Normal people have never gone around automating their work. The most automation they do is dynamic tables on excel sheets. I obvious

I was arguing with a Chilean friend who moved a few years ago to the USA. He was telling me how Chile doesn't do good science. I challenged his claim saying Chile actually had great scientists that were severely underfunded (Chile&#x27

They bought out Instagram because it was shaping out to be a huge competitor, so I think that business would have grown to be a multibillion dollar one regardless. It was definitely very smart to buy them out when they did. I just think you

Its a little bit of a balance act, they want to match you with someone that's good enough to date a couple times but not enough to date long term. I think the mathematics work better if they match you with "mostly compatible"

I can tell you they're not going to be buying "googlebooks" plus, Apple has never until this year offered an actual low-price machine. Of course their market size is going to be smaller when you're leaving out the sub $1

Pretty sure when they talked about "very high build quality" and such they're saying this is not a replacement to the cheap chromebooks (which I think the macbook neo is eating anyway) but a higher price point.

I think if I wanted a cheap laptop I'd probably get the macbook neo, and if i wanted a non-gaming expensive one i'd get a macbook pro. I really don't see the market fit for this, I guess the android integration. But my god, I

I have a bunch of e-readers and this X4 is probably my favorite precisely because how small and pocketable it is. I comfortably fit around half a page of a real paperback book on the screen. Its not the biggest compromise ever and for the s

Its not "endless discussion" that's keeping it from improving it's actually a lack of reviewers for the PRs that are already there. The discussions are pretty sane, but I've seen how once there's a PR that&#x27

If you wanna play chess you can use the crosspet fork, it does have a few games. You're right though, the crosspoint firmware is supposedly exclusively for reading.

Open source models maybe not necessarily as they can (in theory) be self hosted. I think right now the incentives of open source chinese model developers is to provide good (comparable to SotA) and cheap models so the space is not captured

Not a lot of people have this budget, and I'm not sure how many people with that type of cash are also interested in paying it for AI. Of course, this is fine for people in the bay area earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Obviously if you make the slides yourself then you'd know the content well. The way of using these tools is not to one-shot your slide deck (unless you have plenty time to learn the content) but give it a base product you've alrea

People in Silicon Valley have more money than they have time. So solutions that are framed as "time savers" or "productivity enhancers" really resonate with them. However, the bulk of people I'd say actually have mo

Hyper presidentialist state that allows one administration (and realistically one person) to start a war against another nation without having authorization from congress. This happened a few weeks ago, actually.

The cost of switching from WhatsApp to an alternative is huge. You will lose access to your family, friends, whomever you chat with. They need to switch with you and in turn their friends need to switch with them, and so on. The cost of swi

I have a Pixel 8 pro, last year I went to NYC with a friend who had an iPhone. We went to some of the museums and as we were taking pics, the difference in color accuracy were dismal. The Google phone was much, much, worse. I think google u

So curation and marketing are going to become more important than ever. Which means influencers, tech bloggers, etc. are going to be seeing a lot more business coming their way.

It's always baffling to me to see people in tech, particularly in hackernews, talking about others earning salaries many times the median of the country and acting like these are people who just simply have no other choice. They really

I see this mistake all the time. I think people who have the opportunity should visit the MoMA to see the wide variety of art there. I'm sure a lot would consider van gogh or Klimt to be "traditional" art when they're ve

so, instead of recycling as many components as possible (a lot of these GPU have valuable resources inside) you simply burn them up. I'm guessing the next argument in the chain will be that we can mine materials from asteroids and such
