Take the classical big American cars vs. small European cars, I think it's pretty much a fact that the love of big cars was manufactured by the auto industry in the 1950-60s and is likely supported to this day by, again, some marketing

I use the "culture test" for this kind of things: if something is talked about a lot in one part of the world but not the other, it means there's an underlying industry that has their money in the media and the so called infl

My experience was much better than that definitely. A lot of amazing business people, some requesting me to join them, some responding to my requests (about 30-40% response rate I'd say). Some former successful founders looking for som

Same. It might also be that developers aren't great at finding co-founders either. I tried YC's Co-founder Match and connected with some amazing people who promised to help in some capacity. They all loved the idea, approved the p

Surely with this amount of money and some of the smartest people working on the tech it won't be naive. It is however naive to think that a technology that can play the go game (also a mixed tree search + ML system!) can also navigate

Agreed though probably not with everything in your list, but it is true that it's the hype, typically originating from the executives of giant corporations that are capable of buying small startups in bulk. That's the source of so

I think it should be obvious to most of us that intelligence is a combination of statistical learning, tree search, and the kind of generalized knowledge about the physical world the article is talking about. I don't believe any of the

Not knowledgeable in the area, but from what I gather RISC-V is not as performant as ARM or Intel/AMD. Yes it can run at faster clock speeds due to its simplicity, but the flip side is that it requires more instructions (and more memor

Hard to draw conclusions without knowing the sizes of those banks. For example the 16 Spanish participating banks might be smaller or equivalent to the few French and German ones (likely true actually).

Coming from Pascal/Delphi background I too find the structured separation useful (unlike the unstructured one in C/C++), though obviously it has a cost of typing the declarations twice. Then for more modern languages where there&#

Sorry for meta, but to downvoters: please don't downvote a what-if question that - well, questions an established theory in a casual conversation. A lot of interesting, disruptive things in science start with a question!

Is the quality really improving though? People complain about how washing machines and other appliances last shorter these days, so that you buy/upgrade more often. As for cars, a lot of the times they look so similar that you can&#x27

Very well put! I have another related theory that goes: Over time, everything converges into mediocrity . By everything I mean products sold to us, entertainment, media, the Internet itself. Look at the car designs of the 1970s and now. Lo

Recognizing the roads is not the biggest problem, it seems. It's the myriad of purely human situations. Anything and anyone can suddenly appear on the road in front of the car, not just traffic cones. Which means the AI needs a pretty

I'd add also: if your friendship is important to both of you it's also up to your friend to handle this properly. If your friend doesn't care, then stop calling it friendship and move on.

I feel like individual productivity is a pretty much solved problem and comes down to picking your tools. Whether it's one out of a million 3rd party Todo/Note taking apps, or just whatever is available in your OS, is a matter of

There's local groceries though, also local services that can't be remote or online. Groceries alone is a big part of my budget after rent. Clothes & stuff I have managed to bring to the minimum: one or two online purchases per

I know what you mean, but we can hope it's temporary. Remote work requires some adjustment in work culture. I just thought there's another interesting upside for workers: you are now more flexible in changing jobs since obviously

Didn't read the article - no access, just some thoughts: the downward pressure on wages will probably become a norm for WFH. Google has already set a precedent. However, unless it takes another unexpected turn, WFH is win-win-win: comp

That, and also I think communities setting consumerist standards (houses this size, cars this make and year) are mostly suburb type. In big cities it's easier to hide your real worth since people mostly socialize outdoors and for examp

You are right, I was wrong. But I was mainly arguing that the commute time shouldn't be counted against work time, it really isn't: you can listen to radio, or read if you are on public transport. Rather, I'd count the saved

> a 25% increase in the amount of their time that's committed to work I think you mean committed to life rather than work? Remember, people normally commute outside of work hours. Therefore your math doesn't add up. 2hr commute

I agree. You could probably say though, that once you decide to implement anything that's not `eval $1` you jump to the next level that forces you to parse the input and then use your built-in primitives to implement themselves. I thin
