Argument of running out of data is kind of stupid. We have billions of cameras, microphones and IMU/GPS sensors. In-fact one in almost every pocket and desk. Survival requires intelligence being energy and resource efficient. Those who

Publix is expensive indeed. Aldi is usually a lot cheaper than Publix and Walmart. That being said when I visited Seattle area, Fred Meyers was more expensive than publix for groceries, and Safeway was selling $50 Orchids.

If Trump is elected, Lina Khan is sure to be let go or FTC hampered. I find it fascinating how MAGA republicans think Trump is there for the small guy, yet his appointment and policies really benefit the big corporate donors.

We haven’t seen algorithms that build world models by observing. We’ve seen hints of it but nothing human like. It will come eventually. We live in exciting times.

Trees are technically “direct air capture”. Trees capture C02 + H20 + sunlight into glucose/wood + O2. So if we can reduce our C02 output, and preserve the rain forests, they’ll do their job. Even getting to zero carbon electricity in

For frontend, one has to decide - am I making a website (informational pages) or an app (interactive widgets) ? For a website, SEO is important hence good ol html server rendering wins. There isn’t much interactivity. For an app, how fast U

Housing is insanely expensive. in US, healthcare costs are through the roof as well. The only way I see long term housing becoming affordable is heavy taxes on single family homes as investment properties. Also open up zoning and allow buil

Even if Trump appeals and wins, he has 4 other trials lined up. It's going to be an interesting election. On the chance that he wins presidency, it is sure he will push for laws to gain more power. Perhaps even more Republican supreme

I find it fascinating that Texas and Florida, the states that get hit by intense weather are the ones building the most Housing. Home and car insurers are having a field day in those states.

If you are an NVDA investor, I suggest you set trailing % stop sells. That way you can keep most of the gains incase of a crash. Nvidia needs one bad quarter of growth and they see the same fate as Tesla. Growth drives the market frenzy.

When you're rich, you can skirt laws by paying cops, courts and lawyers as cost of business. When you're super rich, you have lunch with politicians and they change the laws for you.
