Companies can issue new shares to dilute existing investors. I feel like on HN of all places, this should be common knowledge? Like, this is literally the scheme under which every tech company already operates, and yet on HN of all places

I dunno if this is the correct way of thinking about it, but I just imagine it as a particle that has mass but does not interact with other particles (except at big-bang like energy levels?). So essentially a galaxy would be full of these

There's a number of edge-case scenarios where you want a lot of height clearance above roadways. ie: hauling a wind turbine blade or rapidly converting to an airfield.

Talk to one and get something commissioned, then sign a contract about what copyrights you're acquiring from them. NFTs provide none of those.

Its wholly possible for the universe to be teeming with single-celled life, but I think the jump to multicellular, intelligent, civilization, and space-faring (at least signals wise) could still cut it to a factor 1/1000 stars. And we

Once you have a large enough fleet of roughly the same shape, it starts to make sense to build some automated cleaning thing. I'm picturing like, a long tube with vacuum ports in it that can just be shoved in by a robot arm to vacuum

It's the other way around. RLHF is needed for the model to say "I don't know".

I think the military perspective at this point is that they want drones at all price points. Those 20-50k drones, I assume you mean like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZALA_Lancet and https://en.wikipedia.or

by kaibee 2y ago
I don't see why. Drones are pretty simple manufacturing wise. The issue at scale is the supply chain of cheap motors, cheap control boards, and cheap batteries.

by kaibee 2y ago
This is exactly the problem. The military needs single-use drones in high volume, and the production capacity/scale for that can only exist if it's subsidized by the consumer industry. > You cannot compete with China even if w

Is this true? It definitely sounds truthy and would confirm my biases. But I could just as well see: 1. Walmart opens location 2. Prices things to get a small margin 3. Competition is driven out because consumers don't want to go to

On the bright side, I think getting the money-sending integration would be more politically viable, at which point we can just piggyback the messaging on top of it.
