They wanted a platform, something they controlled. They wanted to be Steam. They wanted to be microsoft. Own the ecosystem and charge everybody 35% for the rest of eternity. And remember Zuck has full control of the company. And his whole t

My bet is that Anthropic is a big costumer of theirs (they implied 'AI' companies are very interested) and they want their supply chain to be 'secured' with their own product. You can listen to their podcast on AI. They

Apple seems to be well positioned to profit from AI without investing to much. Other major companies are very AI exposed and people like Apple positioning. Generally lots of money flowing around bidding up the top companies.

I don't really understand why this is famous. Or other his houses. Traditional British Country houses look better. As do other classic archtectures for country side houses.

SpaceX is not just any old company. Its a trillion $ company at the heart of one of the most contentious topic in the modern world, AI. And its not just relevant for Elon, its also about the general outlook for the economy and AI. Most peop

I was a fan of early Elon. He had many problems but he was overall good. Then he turned full ultra right wing nationalist who engaged in science denial. Supported a president that is unquestionably racists and unquestionably fascists. And h

Can you show me that research? Also, nothing new in C is just not happening, there is massive amounts of things that will not switch for decades. Why not just switch to a slightly different compiler and core, and then you make all your old

I'm not saying end consumer, I mean companies who have to insure safety and reliability. That is also behind adoption of things like Rust and many other trends. CHERI gives you that and more. But its still very new and radical, and a l

Yes you want to raise the floor, but the US is doing a famously bad job at that. I generally agree that if it was true that the inequality would lead to consistent floor raising it would be fine, but it doesn't.

We should stop Tolerating Human Carnage. But the solution is not self driving cars. The actual way to solve the 'Carnage' is to adopt well proven well studied infrastructure changes. After 40+ years of idiotic car brain policies,

Yes but many trips don't have real-time constrains or only with local transit. If I go to city X and I need to go somewhere usually in X there are trains every 30min or trams to get me to my hotel. But granted if you have a connection

Actually no. German trains are often late, true, but outside of that its actually very nice. There are a lots of lines and lots of collections. The only time its a bad idea is if you have a real time constraints.

The cost of fuel is not the problem. We have unlimited uranium and thorium, and there is no reason a fusion should be cheaper. Sure its more dense then fission but fission is absurdly dense already and the economics don't improve that

But here is the thing, optical fiber factories in space are unproven and launch cost is only one of the difficulties with it. You need to launch it, and recover it, and then feed it into post processing all for the lower cost then doing it

Its deeply offensive to call 'Count Binface' a joke, he a more serious and more electable candidate and a better candidate for PM then Farage. Please keep your right wing extremest views to yourself, Farage is the joke candidate.
