No actually, that's about the opportunity cost of war. There's a left-wing argument I frequently see that the US finds wars to increase profitability but I'm talking about the propping up of firms to keep the industrial capac

It is though, more value is generated by the MIC than is put in and war has yet to ruin the productive capacity of the United States. The societal ills of this are why it’s popular to call America an evil empire

There’s definitely an element of rubber banding and I think this time some of it is built up resentment about how liberals dominated big cultural institutions like TV and movies. That said I don’t think everyone who voted for trump cares ab

In terms of a cultural moment it feels like the 80s. Millions of his voters weren’t ideological conservatives but didn’t fully disagree and like the strength Reagan projected after the turmoil of the mid 60s through the 70s. They abandoned

The goal is to always be bringing in new talent and cutting lowest performers to increase productivity. They want the new talent and don’t care about the low performers at a personal level.

Not the author, but presumably they mean building on a host for a target that isn't the same OS, architecture, and/or libc.

So much is crammed into ioctl or fcntl. Especially if you are trying to treat UART, SPI, I2C, etc the same by supplying the I/O interface.

I don’t think this reflects the reality of the power industry. Data centers are the only significant growth in actual generated power in decades and hyperscalers are already looking at very bespoke solutions. The heavy commodification of ne

Is it going to fall significantly for data centers? Industrial policy for consumer power is different from subsidizing it for data centers and if you own grid infrastructure why would you tank the price by putting up massive amounts of capi

It varies by a lot of factors but it’s way less than half. Photovoltaic panels have around 10% capacity utilization vs 50-70% for a gas or nuke plant.

I think it's even more basic: they think it will be just like it used to be before 2020.

Now building on AWS inside is heavily emphasized, but just a few years ago most services were built with internal systems that are very different. Some solutions (multi account/cellular architecture for example) seemed to come from dog

Yeah, same with ending filibuster and other speculated tactics. I don't think you can close the door behind you without a constitutional amendment, which won't happen.

If if you click through for meta analysis of most of the drugs listed, it claims a statistically significant reduction in mortality. That seems incredible.

That's a huge amount of capex to spend for a low marginal cost though.

Being openly annoyed by it will just lead to it being used more. That's sort of a fundamental behavior of the internet.

I suspect how Milei would frame it is he's focusing on the currency crisis and deficit. If/when that is under control, Argentina will be more attractive to foreign capital or some other mechanism of creating better paying jobs whi

Is the moat that good for HW? The more commodified your product is, the more you risk losing to undifferentiated foreign competitors who have lower input costs.

There's been places where capital is the main issue. Like Chinese SEZs attracting foreign capital with low regulation, low labor costs, cheap land, etc.

It seems like OpenAI is trying to build a moat now, each generation appears to be less and less open to the point that you can't even see LLM reasoning steps. It's been a while since we've had a major tech company commodify&#
