#4: VC takes more risk (in the form of portfolio volatility on longer time horizons; look at the post dot com bust returns) and since capital markets in the US are reasonably efficient they get more expected returns for that risk.

At least in the US the Supreme Court ruled that these sorts of laws are only kosher because they target porn, which is afforded a lower degree of legal protection (albeit not no protection at all). Trying to restrict access to protected pol

Guerrilla tactics only work against an enemy with too weak a stomach to exterminate civilians. You’ll notice for instance that there is little guerrilla activity in Russian occupied Ukraine, due to Russia not possessing any such scruples.

This is one of the ways the government can censor people despite the first amendment. It’s absolutely by design. The regulators “express concern” about certain financial activity and then the companies remove it.

PhD Economist here (but not a game theorist): Game Theory is really fucking hard. In many ways the choice of what is studied by theorists and how it is framed is dominated by what we can even make tractable with our current knowledge. Very

This is dead wrong. For all of human history through say 1800 gains in productivity flowed back to the general population in the form of more kids (but no per capita growth), this was the Malthusian equilibrium. Since 1800 not only has the

In the IO literature it would be expected that five companies of vaguely similar size in oligopolistic competition (say Cournot competition for simplicity) would be pretty close to the equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market.

This is a dumb question I know, but how expensive is model distillation? How much training hardware do you need to take something like this and create a 7B and 12B version for consumer hardware?

I think that the concern is more that without Google money Mozilla likely goes bankrupt and Firefox development ends.

Proton Mail + VPN (for my soon to be built NAS) + cloud storage + Pass for $10/month is very tempting via their whole suite subscription.

As long as the passkey spec includes remote snitching (attestation) your keepass open source alternative will exist only because big tech allows it, and it will end when big tech demands it. The entire import/export standard is a red h

There has been absolutely no legal precedent about those DMCA carve-outs and previous cases that could have rested on them (eg Nintendo vs Yuzu) shouldn’t leave anyone optimistic about their strength.

Unfortunately this is the inevitable outcome of information and computation (and therefore control) becoming cheap. Liberal political systems can no longer survive in equilibrium. The 21st century will be a story either of ruling with an ir

There’s no fucking way they would have spent so much money on three WH titles and a fuckton of DLC to make an absolutely colossal RTS game if it was niche. Total War Warhammer single handedly saved WH Fantasy with how well it sold.

Oh don’t worry, once BCIs get developed you’ll live in a pay per thought society, and if you think negatively of it, boy will you ever pay. It’s science fiction today but I doubt it will remain so for our lifetimes.
