You ask a good question. Who is paying for AI, and is OpenAI profitable. A lot of the demand is there when cost is subsidized by investors -- will it continue when price actually must bare costs and profits?

So this is an a16z podcast show? It's a bit navel gazing right, to interview one of the hosts? Slow news day? Am I understanding the setup right?

I wonder if this is like an immune system response by mother nature, it’s attacking the thing that’s warming it up i.e. air travel? Self correcting systems

If all these loans are “guaranteed” by FM, ie US govt, why even have all these middle men taking a cut — why not do mortgages like Direct Loans from the govt?

I was definitely raised that way. My parents are from New England so maybe a Puritan thing?

Uber started as off duty black car drivers doing gig work. Those were the default right? The random guy with a car gig was rolled out as uberx later? But I'm completely with you on the unsupervised part. People doing all sorts of thin

I had one of these and worked my summer job while on a bus tour of Europe with family on it. They were amazing.

I wasn't ever athletic (short and autoimmune issue made most sports painful), but I'm pretty sure my good results for college admittance was because of my Eagle Scout Today, Scouting has lost a lot of luster for complicated reason

How can those studies be sure they aren't conflating cause and effect? Maybe the traits that often lead to success such as being tall and athletic build help you succeed in your career (most CEOs are taller than average for example). Y

As a likely tech saavy hacker news follower, why did you get a jeep when it is well known their quality is subpar? Were you really swayed by style?

Lane keeping is dangerous as it can cause over correction. AEB is a pretty binary triggered reaction and happens so fast it won't interfere with normal driving.

You should be following cars at a distance that you can react to them slamming on their brakes. Always. Unless the car drives in reverse and hits you the following vehicle is at fault.

I have essays from high school in 1992. Unfortunately, I think they are Claris works, so basically I can kind of part the text But it’s pretty mangled

yeah, this is been one of the most difficult parts about becoming an adult was realizing that so many nonprofits are basically just self-serving jobs programs. especially when the CEO can be paid "market rate."

A zipper merge is fine, both lanes tend to fill up. What I often see if a lane that intended to go through and a turning lane that is backed up; people pretend to be on through lane, then stop to merge at last minute into long turning lane

It’s because drivers are all on their phones and unless your 3rd grader is 5 ft tall, they will be easily unseen and plowed over.

It is probably less work. Takes a day a room to Faradize, while policing cellphones is a daily battle for ALL time.

I’ve been dreaming of this forever. Default geofencing of ALL Apple and Google phones, to go into DND when entering churches, hospitals, schools, theaters, etc. with geofencing and maybe a Bluetooth signal this should be pretty feasible to

Honestly so many parents are pro cell phone, we should develop parallel tracks of classes (think smoking/non smoking). Kids can sign up for the class track that requires they deposit their cell phone in locker; you get 3 strikes and th

This whole deal is very confusing. What exactly was Bilt Technologies providing? My expectation is they would used AI/BigData/TheForce to identity which renters are likely to be balance carriers. How did they not hold any risk for

The whole problem is that phones are disruptive by nature, but teachers having to police students (and it’s more than one, on many days) and it’s a huge chunk and disruption to instruction time. 10 years ago you were messaging/posting;

I’m sorry, I think the era of “change the world” motivation in tech was eclipsed by “make 42 tons of money” about a decade ago. Along that line, I would be very surprised that there are founders who don’t seek an opportunity to set aside th
