That certainly would be nice, but the risk to the individual that they are just exploited on a meagre salary for 3-6 years to only benefit their advisor has become so large that I don't recommend doing a PhD to anyone (or at least thin

PhDs' unfortunately have lost much of their value. - There aren't enough post-doc and tenure positions for the glut of PhDs. - Plagiarism scandals have reduced the public's perception of a PhD to become almost something unpre

Housing is an inelastic commodity. Increased demand will take considerable time to lead to additional supply. Over-supply is even harder to reduce because housing is amortized over 20 or more years. Developers are well aware of the cyclic n

Well the US spends 17% of GDP on health care and Canada only spends 12% while life expectancy in the US is at least 2 years less. You get superb care for the rich and mediocre care for the average guy and very little for the rest.

I think Anti-Trust actions or large scale technological revolutions is the only way we can reclaim some competition in the digital space. The digital monopolies are really a cancer of our modern age.

On the contrary, in three years we will be used to AI which requires much newer tech than available today. The current tech will be obsolete. We have seen that play out with all the previous AI chips (mostly Google). The software and its re

LLMs know a magnitude more about you and your needs. This will make targeting users very valuable. The big question is who will be first to get it done in an unobstrusive way (subtlely integrated into text with links).

Ruby has the nicest object-oriented design (everything is an object) outside of smalltalk (IMHO). In contrast to the mess that is Python. For instance, in Ruby it is natural that each or map are methods of Array or Hash rather than global

Why would you consider averages prices more relevant than the Neukundenpreise? If customers don't switch energy providers and are stuck with high prices why is this the EEGs fault? Also the EEG is not equivalent to the cost of the net

The chart you posted from Verivox shows exactely what I said. Prices are down below pre-war levels. The EEG tax subsidy is getting less and less. We are paying primarily for very old solar installations.

The coalition did not have any more compassion than any other government before it. The reality is that fortress Europe can't stop 10m people when a country such as Syria descends into Chaos as it did in 2015.

Energy costs are now back to levels seen before the Russian war against Ukraine, so it is unclear why the Energiewende should be at fault. The German malaise is more likely tied to the shift to EV, the weakness of Germany's car industr

How do you prevent Gemini from just swallowing text after some time? Audio transcript correction is one area where I struggle to see good results from any LLM unless I chunk it to no more than one or two pages. Or did you use any tool?

I didn't mean to belittle anyone impacted by terrorism personally. I just am saying it is so rare that it doesn't register as relevant for me. I worry more about speeding cars. As a society we must focus our attention to those thi

Can you point to any statistics which indicate life is even remotely as dangerous in Europe as life in the US is? I can't even come up with enough terror attacks in Europe to reach 100 deaths in 2024.

This is part of the illusion that it is as if our politicians let anybody in. Not a single politician would welcome even one more asylum seeker. The immigrants by large are coming from the worst imaginable conditions and fighting their way

The primary issue is that Spotify can only group things into very coarse categories. If you have a Spanish emo rock band and want similar Spanish emo rock bands then you are mostly out of luck unless there are so many of those that Spotif

Google's moat for search are the advertisers networks. Others can't bootstrap a search engine business because they don't have the advertisers to pay for it.

By the time Putin started his war there were only 3 reactors left. Their run-time were extended for 3 1/2 months which apparently conserved roughly 2% of annual German gas consumption. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Nothing is going to stop China's rise but China's own failings (mostly demographically). Russia can't even beat a country one third its own size despite petrol dollars and legacy military stock.

Come on. It is not Germany's fault that Putin is a madman. Choosing cheap gas over more expensive gas, oil and dirty coal was a win-win. Until Putin was too irrational. Btw.: more than 50.000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead by the latest e
