Ok, since I moved to the US from Europe a few years ago my perception of wood has changed a lot, especially for construction. Seeing this reinforces my view. Wood lasts for fucking ever under the proper conditions. Old construction in Europ

I don’t understand why people pretend there’s no paperwork to do in the US. Not only that, but different states have different processes. I think there are some misconceptions about the US and tend to over idealize, especially around paperw

I am a European living in the US and my god I am tired of hearing this over and over again. If your biggest hurdle to start a company is the paperwork you’ll have to do for one week, you better think of something else. And yes, there are ot

My setup for development is a 16-inch MacBook running VS Code as my frontend, and a powerful Debian server at home as my backend. Inside the Debian server I run pure LXC containers for separate projects, DB servers, experiments... I found t

I’m from Spain and have lived in the U.S. for 11 years. I 100 percent feel less punished here than in Spain while driving. Just yesterday while taking my daughter to school, I was looking at my phone, the light turned green, and the car beh

I don’t know, just intuition. Each crisis is different and impossible to predict, otherwise I’d be retired, which I’m not. Completely agree, I’d expect all of those to take a big hit, and some more than others, but I don’t think Microsoft o

The good part is that the next financial crisis when OpenAI sinks probably won’t be a systemic one, it will definitely drag others down and the stock market will readjust, but hopefully the US economy will remain afloat

Holy guacamole. It is amazing all the BS these people are able to create to keep the hype of the language models' super powers. But well I guess they have committed 100s of billions of future usage so they better come up with more stu

This still blows my mind. If each human brain consumes ~20W then 10 GW is like 500 M people, that sounds like a lot of thinking. Maybe LLMs are moving in the complete opposite direction and at some point something else will appear that vapo

Absolutely. I think some people underestimate the power of those willing to migrate to the US. I’m in my early 40s and moved from Western Europe to the US 11 years ago, and I feel I was the last generation eager to come, the perception of U

Comparing power with reasoning does not make any sense at all. Humans have surpassed their own strength since the invention of the lever thousands of years ago. Since then, it has been a matter of finding power sources millions of times gre

Yes, and when it’s time to implement something by default, you always choose "your optimal". If you have two options that solve the problem equally well, you always choose the simplest, among other things because it’s shorter. Wha

Yes, we understand that, but it’s not a good comparison. Producing chips and agricultural goods are fundamentally different, starting with limits like climate, seasonality, and land. At most, you could compare it to mining minerals for chip
