they are trying to become/replace google. they are first to market for an entirely new query paradigm and in app purchases and advertising are just one aspect of a platform.

they understand that, and that's why they're making it sticky by adding in app purchasing, advertising, integrations. also why they hired OGs from IG/FB. They are building the moat and hoping that first to market is going to

how are you able to charge 43kwh on such a small array? we have a 12 kwh setup and it recharges a 15 kwh battery in a few hours.

This is not a surprising conclusion for anyone that works in the field and uses the current gen of LLMs. The problem is... 1. there is an enormous investment in $$$ produces a too big to fail scenario where extravagant claims will be made r

Americans can afford food. We are nowhere close to 19th century french peasant levels of problems. Imagine throwing 300 years of democracy and tradition out the window because food prices went up 30%. It went up all over the world but Ameri

why would you not include the transmission? residential customers just pay one bill and that's including the lines, maintenance. In western states such as Oregon, Washington, it is actually 0.12KWH including transmission.

$0.10 kwh is low for most of the US. Can I guess.... Western state or PNW?

There are other parallels, such as using young indoctrinated students being used as political weapons. DOGE for example.

tbh I don't know if many senior leaders in the admin that actually think these policies are going to make anything better. It just seems like a mass looting project. Lutnick, for example, is definitely a wall street insider and is unde

tbh that feels completely backwards. In large orgs, you are a number and transparently so. People come and go, processes are set up that assume attrition. In a smaller shop, there's less flex overall for departures and more incentive t

Russia has a lot of laws on the books that are meaningless. That's why they are Russia and not Switzerland or France. Minimum wage is worthless due to inflation from the ukraine invasion and sanction. Pension system that leaves people

All indications are that the US is on track to become a Russian style government and political system. Unless the US people halt the decline.

It's not the idea, it's how it was rolled out, how poorly it was communicated, how little sense the numbers mean.

It's fascism, reasoning with people won't work. The economy was the problem because Biden was in power. Now it's fine because trump is "doing what is needed and we all need to pay higher prices". > “The Party tol

In this case it's directly firing your voter base. It's the same with medicaid, social security and other cut proposals. Tariffs also. People care the most about their own wallet and income. The policies have no indirection or sub

You're witnessing the collapse of American soft power, economic power, and our transition to an authoritarian isolationist state. Some of us accept it while others still have to grasp the situation. The death of the post cold war neoli

what? you don't have negotiations in public at a press conference. what is trump negotiating here? terms that Ukraine won't accept? what resolution will come out of this outside of hardening Ukrainian resolve, bolstering Zelensky

whatever you think of Ukraine or Russia, inviting an elected official of a nation under war then spouting off Russian propaganda and berating him in public is shameful. I don't think we've ever seen such non-diplomatic language an

US loss, Europe's win. Same thing with the trade wars and other Trumpian policies. Short term gains to look strong but long term just degrades US soft power and decades of ally building.

I don't think Meta was in any danger of anything, either implementing pro or anti DEI policies. Zuck is still owner founder. He does whatever he wants, see: metaverse fiasco. The average person could not care less about meta's DEI

It's not a startup vs large company problem but a DNA/company culture thing. I've been at 50 person startups that implemented okrs like Meta or Google.
