I think sadly Fridman has since left the path of conducting interesting interviews with accomplished AI researchers and now caters to a kind of vapid pseudo-philosophical TED-talk crowd.

Was on HN as a physics and neuroscience student for a long time, now at google though, probably in large parts due to the time I spend hanging out on HN.

I think it would be extremely unusual and counterproductive for someone in the trenches to get fired about this, as it is clearly a failure of procedure that this was even possible and so hard to recover from. Large companies I am aware of

There was a project to collect energy from thermonuclear bombs by blowing them up in an underground chamber cooled by a shower of molten salt. It was abandoned because the cost of making the bombs was too high, not the energy capture. http

How feasible is it to unload and reload a truck in time, if police can be dispatched almost immediately? You can't take the entire trailer in an era of tiny and cheap gps trackers.

> "shortage" just means "I don't want to pay market rate" I've read this repeatedly, and it makes sense at face value, but at some point don't some activities just have to be dropped, since there is a

How did this work when swapping horses of different fitness? Did people have to negotiate the price differential every time? I can see how it would work for a network like the pony express, but harder to imagine for individuals.

Yea agreed this seems like an additional data point, that looks suspicious, but it is very new (at least to me) and I will wait to see what experts make of this.

I really hate the way everything around the coronavirus has been politicized. It is a very important question to investigate the lab leak hypothesis thoroughly. However, the hypothesis seems to have gone from "the virus leaked from a l

The question is if it is possible to stop this kind of research at all, given the potential military applications. Will it not just push research from publicly known and inspected (like Wuhan) into secret military labs?
