You’re right that money printing is a problem, the point Arrighi has in his book and writing is this has happened 4 other times and seems basically inevitable. Other powers have had monetary empires and they all go through this.

Yes that is literally what the fiat money system is about. By using fiat, dollar as a reserve currency and the petrodollar, the US gets to export inflation and devalue everyone's currency against their own (I think). The best explanati

Management Science? Only management science I read so far (with actual measured outputs and ideas) was Peopleware. Everything else was more like philosophy. Has anyone ever measured, long term results from multiple management methods? What

It seems quite a reasonable output to the current input we are having. Elon having an army of robots is... well it is what it is. Yet that is the direction we are going.

You could read The Long Twentieth Century by Giovanni Arrighi. Fiat money is not the problem, the financialization of economy is actually a common by-product of aging great monetary powers. The US chose to become a monetary power in 1945, r

Americans always ask - but who decides - the industry decides. The industry gets to decide what they want to use.

It is not a group of people. It’s a legal entity that represents their economic interests.

Very happy to see techno feudalism being mentioned here in HN. Whatever the origins of the term, it now seems clear it’s kind of the direction things are going.

Not sure what you’d like him to do here. He’s not a political journalist.

Always thought the case was for sensor redundancy and data variety - the stuff that throws off monocular depth estimation might not throw off a lidar or radar.

Yes on the last count for Apple U. The culture of excellence is just not there. Big company but not sure if it’s a live player atm. Lots of unrefined experiences. People say it’s Tim Cook as if Apple had a bunch of CEOs. In its modern incar

The entire pipeline to provide for this is prohibitive. At what distance do you actually need to be from your TV for the resolution to max out for the retina? 4k was already a dubious proposition for most TVs people actually own.

Why would they need to do everything? Are you assuming that by the nature of even allowing 10% of labour not being replaced by AI, moving the other 90% of workers into that sector will create no issues with changing wages and wealth distrib

Grom is much much less censored on purpose. I work in image editing and outside of very few people, hardly anyone uses Grok for professional work. Nano Banana Pro is used for the most part. But for NSFW work it dominates. It’s clearly delib

This likely had some US aid. They are distributing Starlinks to Iranian protestors there and an Israel insider has bet on a strike soon.

Who said they will remove the government ? From current news they could very well just leave it in place as long as they sell their petroleum in dollars and agree to other restrictions. The US has not toppled Venezuelan government.

One day they might send 20 ships all at once to cut all overseas cables in one go, and it won’t seem like the preparation for an invasion but just another provocation. By that same morning they start the invasion of Estonia / the Balti
