A contrarian view although I do dislike contracting with foreign companies for roughly similar reasons: Palantir's technology looks good and I think it probably works. Most things don't work.

The NHS is a huge organisation (~2 million employees alone) with enormous problems along these lines - they should pay 10x if it delivers.

What does cheap mean? You aren't paying for the same thing - a ccgt plant is super fast and works independent of the weather. I'm in favour of having it but the reason why you need to over provision is because of the intermittency

You have to massively overprovision some renewables

There is obviously truth to it but it does not confirm the whig interpretation i.e. it was supposedly _removed_ rather than never present

Surely started because of Israel. Maybe there was more back and forth but it really seems like the clique around trump are specifically in Bibi's pocket

I know nothing about palantir in particular but typically these software stacks have a bunch of random crap in them to deal with fetching data from other system's the customer has.

Those predictions are just market data, market data is often very expensive (my data usage at work is probably about $100k a year and i'm not even a trader), I imagine polymarket will be too when they are more established.

I've only used them in dotnet, I would be very interested to read any strong opinions about the use of Streams both in practice and as an abstract point in API design.

Hard to see how this isn't totally asinine and retarded. I haven't confirmed it but I've seen journalist friends of mine complain also that the deletion period for much data is about 7 years so victims are genuinely shocked t

Russia is doing pretty well for a country fully dependant on china, then. It's a ridiculous country in some ways but given what you've said ironic it's one of the few that is genuinely self-sufficient in many regards.

The Feynman lectures are obviously brilliant but think the computation lectures are probably a better display of Feynman's brilliance. It's quite stunning how up to date they are. Although that being said the rough outline of a fi

It's definitely being pushed by people looking for views but there is obviously some truth to it when half the businesses around Leicester Square are completely empty frauds.

I like "just use postgres" but postgres is getting a bit long in the tooth in some ways, so I'm pretty helpful that CedarDb sticks the landing. https://cedardb.com/ I suspect it not being open source may prev

Why are they doing any better than any other firm then? Why has Tesla been successful? Why is xAI pretty similar in terms of approach? My idea has less variables than yours. It also doesn't fly with his tendency to fire people.
