Get the EV. They're better anyway.

The comparison with China was never very good, as thinking in terms of emissions per country is useless. Per capita emissions would be much more relevant, and even then you'd have to take into account that Chinese factories produce the

Basically almost any emission is a "drop in the bucket", and yet the bucket is somehow full.

It's the magic bullet that will solve emissions, I suppose because it's advanced technology and the hippies are against it. Ignoring the enormous cost, and long build times, plus the fact that when it gets hot they have to be turn

And probably both of these can be explained largely by the fact that most of the energy intensive production happens now in Asia.

In a way it is this admission. Interviewing is a very difficult process to get right. > Why would you test a large number of candidates in the first place? How else do you do it for a company of the size of Google or Amazon?

This used to be a pretty standard discussion a few years back when people still were being hired. I never saw any better way to systematically and somewhat fairly test a large number of candidates, so would you kindly elaborate on that stat

What I could see is that the social disruption already started by social media is only going to accelerate due to AI. Misinformation is now more convincing and easier to produce than ever before. That could lead to a catastrophe down the li

Well the OP was being vague and I wanted to clarify what they meant. Blaming woke is one of my pet peeves, since it's one of the most intellectually lazy things you can do.

Where was Tao unhappy? I thought he was sort of anticipating this.

And then it will be shut down, proper guard rails put in place, and the new version will accelerate the cleptocracy.

I get the feeling you want to blame "woke" ideologies for this decline. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In my opinion we just have it too easy nowadays. Too much entertainment, screens and not enough challenges to keep kids t

We don't need carbon tax, look at this one plant in a developed country where we sort of do something about the problem!

And who could forget the classic "let's train our model with stolen material"-scheme!

I really enjoy the "federated platforms are too difficult to use" voices on HN. Quite the hackers these guys!

Hey at least I'm not the one in this discussion who could be seen as a negrophobic man, and as per your book recommendation, a repressed homosexual. It's ok to live and be free, my friend.

I feel like the lesson in many stories like this is to be kind of indifferent, not ask stupid questions, and to not answer stupid questions.

Ok, so Pakistani people rape, white people are pedophiles and Asians do nothing like that at all. I mean not everyone, but you know what I mean wink wink .

It's wrong because you're labeling the whole ethnic group. But since you believe in "uncomfortable truths", I'm sure youre willing to start calling the Epstein pedophile ring white rapist pedophiles? Damn those whit
