It is maybe contender for the research paper that resulted in the most monetary gain for its authors.

I honestly don't think there is a shortage of talent out there and don't think any of these people are unique irreplaceable visionaries. I think the bottleneck for successful teams is mostly funding and fit (you need big teams to

I agree with this. I think there will still be niche products using liquid fuels. Like for example "explorer" or "offroader" type vehicles that require higher energy densities. And aviation of course. But commuter transp

This is not true at all. The cost of storage scales very well for hydrogen, must better than any other alternative. Transportation is context dependent. If you can build transmission lines, then do so. But hydrogen and synthetic fuels allow

>Efficiency has a huge impact on the cost/economics Not in the way that you think, no. For all intents and purposes, we have limitless energy. The problem was never that we don't have enough capacity, because we can scale capac

The obsession with efficiency is disingenuous too. The two limiting factors are generation capacity and cost/economics. Efficiency by itself says nothing. In the early 1900s, gas was less efficient than electricity too, but for a whole

Classifying people using AI is always going to lead to discrimination as long as there are differences between genders/ethnicities/socio-economic backgrounds. This is not preventable and you cannot do anything about it.

The point she is making is nonetheless correct. Nobody wants to associate themselves with Arabic/Muslim identities in today's Europe (except for those who have no choice), because of the many negative connotations. I don't kn

Now we have carbon fibre. And asbestos is still everywhere. You just need to know where to look for it. However, in most cases it is perfectly safe unless pulverized.

Higher economic growth, better higher paying jobs and more wealth to go around.

Most definitely. I would say here in Germany, the number one thing that is missing is the culture. Everyone here is extremely risk averse and pessimistic. Then of course we don't get any startups and also no startup capital.

All I'm thinking is, you Americans are really fucking lucky. Yeah OK, VCs are greedy and difficult to work with, but at least they give you a chance and literally give you startup capital in the millions to build your own thing. That i

Why would I listen to you on this topic when your demographic has a worse track record on this matter? Within my community people lead happy lifelong marriages. Why should I listen to your "wisdom" instead of theirs? You can call

Do no let society tell you that you are being judgemental because you apply basic wisdom to the situation. Of course your bond won't be as strong if she already experienced the same exact bond and maybe a stronger bond with 20 other me

If you have to have a prompt monkey to figure out the best prompts, that defeats the whole point of having an LLM powered knowledge system.

But the US is still performing better on all metrics: 1. more innovation 2. high economic growth 3. better salaries Whatever you are doing works.

I would not generalize to the whole of Europe. This is true of Germany, which dictates what happens in Europe. But even France is more dynamic. And if you look further North or East or South you also see more willingness to take on risk.

> At this points it looks like Germany is almost allergic to innovation. It is ultimately the German culture that is to blame. Germans are way too conservative and risk-averse. And pessimistic to boot. You can say all you want about bur

That is certainly one way of seeing it. I agree that government regulation can be overbearing. OTOH, although I care about environmentalism and climate protection, I am not willing to inflict personal costs upon myself, if everyone else isn

It doesn't have to be millions. What if profit is not a motivation? What if you just want to be the host of some good communities or a less toxic web2.0 experience?

This might be weird, but I only feel lonely when I try to improve my social life (and inevitably fail). When I sort of give up and fall back to my usual routine, I do not mind being alone. I am sort of so far away from all of THAT, that I d

I don't get the appeal or raw protein. I tasted it all, raw eggs, raw fish, raw beef and it all just does not taste very good, not as good as the cooked variant.

That is my crude understanding of such behaviour, yes. Now if you want to get into the philosophical discussion of whether that is actually a lack of self-respect or not, that's not really interesting to me. I think to some extent one&
