Meta is in full panic last I heard. They have amassed a collection of pseudo experts there to collect their checks. Yet, Zuck wants to keep burning money on mediocrity. I’ve yet to see anything of value in terms products out of Meta.

It’s not political corruption but political theatre. SKorea is controlled by a few chaebols. They keep the gen pop “entertained” so they can do what they want behind the scene. The closest they got to the chaebol is when they sent the Samsu

I don’t think representation needs to be a thing for a personal list on a blog. Government? Absolutely. Corporate? maybe. That said, of course there have been many critical female contributions in the field. However, it’s also a numbers gam

I read Shannon’s paper every year and it gives me new insights every single time. It transcends computer science. And Claude was one of the coolest “nerds” I’ve met.

Bingo. US always has been about commerce and money. It wouldn’t shock me if Ross has at least a few million hidden in some “lost wallet” printed out in a vault some where. He was smart enough to know he would get caught one day.

Probably because they don’t have to deal with energy-related regulations…

It appears this basically locks out Google, Amazon and Meta. Why are we declaring OpenAI as the winner? This is like declaring Netscape the winner before the dust settled. Having the govt involved in this manner can’t be a good thing.

To be fair, they did have the lead as late as 2018. It’s just they treated it like it was their PhD thesis. Didn’t protect their IP at all and let all their talent leave.

Of course he does. Heck most of us in early stages of LLM did the same thing. The data simply did not exists outside Google which is why it’s crazy that Google completely dropped the ball on AI this decade. They had such a huge lead in term

It’s not even protectionism. US is the only country in the world to honor unwritten free market rules. Simply because people here believe in it. All we want is reciprocity. US is not protecting the Googles and Facebooks of the world. No one

That’s rich coming from Europe. You guys pillaged rest of the world for 700 years. Took all the gold from the Americas then proceeded enslave Africans for centuries. And normalized it. Play by the rules? What rules?

Nail in the head with reciprocity. I think the US honored its end of the bargain over the past four plus decades since China started manufacturing goods for US companies. China clearly benefited since they are now the second largest economy

Why do we need a good answer? Does US need to be a good guy on some made up rules? Post Soviet collapse, US could have just taken over a bunch of territories. We don’t alway need to be some faithful country when the rest of the world is alw

Not to be off topic but Apple needs to build a fully featured full frame digital camera with an iPhone slot. That would be game over for so many users.

Had high hopes for Shopify at beginning of pandemic but it was all hype. Online shopping is still pretty much the same and in some ways regressed.

This is a common thing among investment professionals especially in areas where you need strong domain knowledge such as biotech. Your conviction can become stronger the more you learn and collect supporting data. Conviction is a dangerous

And that’s my point really. US tech companies have all kowtowed to CCP for the past two decades trying to gain access to the second largest economy.

Why doesn’t China simply open up for domestic competition? What are they afraid of? It’s a serious question. Are they that much afraid of their consumers switching to Western products? I frankly think it’s overblown. Chinese people will sim

I call BS on this. The data is biased first and foremost. There’s absolutely no way Waymo or any robotaxi can drive in NYC. In order for robotaxi to be viable it needs have near perfect safety error bands.

I highly recommend their Youtube series on databases. They have great guest speakers.

Are they? Or the real mafia took over US healthcare long time ago? How about Visa/MC monopoly taking three pennies from every damn transaction for three decades now? I detest most of the original Paypal crew but there are far worse off

Nope. I am talking about both private and public schools. Go to any top tier school districts and you’re going to find these students. Just want to be clear that I am not criticizing these students. I am criticizing the OP narrative that US

That was the case 20-30 years ago. Now they are coming here for preschools.

Have you been to top tier high schools in the US? They’re filled with international students. It’s been like this for decades. Now you have that in preschools. Look up any elite schools in NYC, SF, etc. Americans are simply priced out of th

They’ve been at it with this narrative for decades now: that US students are bad at math and sciences. Is that why the world sends their best to US for education? If China and India are so great, they’d have great research institutions by n

US agencies should allow AMD to bid on Intel at this point. I actually think the combo would benefit US security interests.

Still find it comical that Masayoshi sold it to Hyundai instead of Tesla. BD was the perfect fit for Tesla at the time. Now not so much and I am glad BD isn’t under Tesla umbrella.

I agree with this 100%. Rust is the most effective language for the “laziest” of developers.

Counter point: there are so many more accelerators now. It was basically getting into MIT/Stanford in term of opening up big doors. Now you have schools with accelerators right out of undergrads. So, YC has to compete in the space (sor

We’ve become so great at articulation and delivery of empty ideas. To a point, I completely block out people like these in real life. This is an entire career for many.
