If investors think that the acquisition will increase the valuation of the company by 3B (or more), and the acquisition is paid fully or mostly in stock - then one can it basically for free.

This is on of the few cases that makes sense. Does not even money, but at least reduced cost one something one presumably already would have had. Is there anything similar for compute?

At least having good integrated support in the package manager for an allow-list of packages would be good. Then one could maintain such lists in a company or project. And we could have community efforts to develop shared curated lists that

Google is also in a great position wrt distribution - to get users at scale, and attach to pre-existing revenue streams. Via Android, Gmail, Docs, Search - they have a lot of reach. YouTube as well, though fit there is maybe less obvious. C

I agree with you. There is also a move toward "agents", where the AI can make decisions and take actions for you. It is very early days for that, but it looks ike it might come sooner than I had though. That opens up even more pot

Pivoting every month! After 24 month and after raising VC money. That does not sound good. There are very few things that can be uncovered/learned in one month that would justify pivoting away from it, even in B2C. Even while throwing

Democratic governments tends to create and maintain a lot of checks and balanced on corporations. Things like workers rights, consumer rights, product quality, environment protections, etc etc. Many things that corporations would love to do

One would never reach zero. And it would be challenging both to define and police laws against advertising. But to get to a world with drastically less advertisements than today seems doable.

I have also found this kind of approach very valuable. With defensive code, where the code itself does a bit of the kind of correctness checking that one might conventionally put into tests, it works even better. Pre/post- conditions i

But the TV functionality does not have to work if one does that? We should really have laws that makes it illegal to not function without connectivity.

Not the team, just follow ARC on-and-off as a ML engineer. I think it will take a few years (at least) to see the impact of ARC, especially the more conceptual works. Those are more close to basic research than applied - It will take time b

Not Greg/team, so unrelated opinion. o3 solution for ARC v1 was incredibly expensive. Some good ideas are at least needed to take that cost down by a factor 100-10000x.

The task you mention require intelligence but also a robot body with a lot of physical dexterity suited to a designed-for-humanoids world. That seems like an additional requirement on top of intelligence? Maybe we do not want an AGI definit

Will have to look closer at picoruby. I do love MicroPython development. One support thing is how easy it is to combine with C, because to get the most out of microcontroller devices one really needs to use low-level languages from time to

We have built a rather large toolset for detecting and treating a range of cancer variants over the last decades. With meaningful changes in expected outcomes. Considerable drop in mortality, for example. Far from cured though. Alzheimer&#x

No-one really knows until the dust has settled. Look back 12+ months and the picture will be much clearer. Trying to drink from the firehose of ML research is only valuable for extremely active research participants. Can be fun though :)

Being _perceived_ as having the best LLM/chatbot is a billion dollar game now. And it is an ongoing race, at breakneck speeds. These companies are likely gaming the metrics in any and all ways that they can. Of course there are probabl

Denying oneself something nice/good (but unrelated). Or doing something that provokes a punishing response from someone/something else. Like picking a fight, or "failing" to pay bills, gambling. Neither will help a victi

Why would a startup do that? Hardware is low-margin difficult, capital intensive, long sales cycles, long rampups until revenue, volume sales are very trust-based (hard to get in when not established), expensive recalls, product compliance,

I think that open-source modules are valuable even without open-source ICs. At least for may classes of genetic IC/modules there are many vendors of an IC, so one could have multi-source for the IC, to reduce reliance on a single vendo

You describe a plan for building it. That is but one piece of the equation. How will you sell it? Why should people pick you over established AWS/Azure/GC? Will you target new projects, or get people to migrate? How does the strat

With high degrees of automation that need not be the case. Consumer electronics is highly automated right now, where-as clothing production is currently not.

Few customers care about proofs. If you can measure how well the method work for the desired task, that is most cases sufficient and in many cases preferred over proofs.

There are many roadblocks to continual learning still. Most current models and training paradigms are very vulnerable to catastrophic forgetting. And are very sample inefficient. And we/the methods are not so good at separating what is

Agreed for consumer products. We are generally much better at noise in product engineering than before, solutions are lower cost, the know-how more widespread. Electric motors with electronic control can be very quiet. Engineering plastics
