Growing up I never had exposure to video games, so I didn't really know about Sonic until my son saw his face on some toy and IMMEDIATELY had questions. Who is that, what's his name, what does he do, .... I think there's some

I don't recall Persona being in the mix last year when I signed up. Interesting development.

Between widespread social media/short form video addiction and GPT for all homework starting in middle school, I think ASI is nearly guaranteed by virtue of the human birth/death process, with no further model improvement required

Why does the chart only include data from 2003, 2020, and 2023? I am also curious about the mentioning of Indian males in the text alongside native American women, with the chart excluding Indian males, this is also somewhat confusing. It i

Seeing some replies to the contrary below, with evidence. I am curious about how you define "small number", the unit of measure, is it proportional or a count, etc.

The opportunity for trades-based small business creation in America would feel a lot more tangible... absent the carried interest tax loophole. Part of the small business trades success narrative is built upon trust, trust that in youth, do

Legacy projects usually are legacy because they have a river of money flowing through them. Making changes there is high-stakes work!

IMHO 80 char lines are easier on my eyes, independent of monitor tech. I get antsy all the way over there on the right! Past 100 chars I am simply less confident in being able to pull off the ocular carriage return to the next line.

All the AI researchers I know that also happen to be parents will not let their kids NEAR tools like chatgpt and photomath. No, it's "traditional" things for their kids that are CHALLENGING and require practice, like woodwork

There is a HUGE shortage of workers who can operate tools requiring CNC expertise. It's an extremely high-stakes quantitative exercise in many cases and the cost of error can be equivalent to e.g. a SaaS outage. CT has a robust technic

Agree. Most office plates have plumbing for the equivalent of four bathrooms, max, all centered near stairs, etc. Figure you would need to 4x the existing number of toilets to make a floor residential and also link to existing central sewag

The moment you adopt service based teams with service based managers, say goodbye to engineers caring about working product. Say hello to cross team meetings and project management every time you want to ship a feature. It's pure vanit

GenAI does not have network effects, correct. There was a time last year when consumer search was still on the table, and I can see how MSFT winning share there might have conferred network effects for genAI, but it didn't happen. Now

I wonder if they ACTUALLY would have landed at Microsoft. And then, would they actually have their TC post tender met there? And would they continue working on AI for some time, independent of reorgs, etc? All of them? A place like MSFT has

Somewhere closer to a GPU source. E.g. a new company that can trade unlimited equity for GPU time from a hyperscale cloud vendor, or work for the vendor itself. Probably not Alibaba though.

Follow the GPU. - Sam Altman _briefly_ went on record saying that openAI was extremely GPU constrained. Article was quickly redacted. - Most recent round literally was scraping the bottom of the barrel of the cap table: https://w
