I didn’t say macro scale, I said Los Angeles that’s the problem. Pretty much everything required to build housing, wood, labor, pre-approved land is in a massive shortage that we can’t spend money to fix. So more money to simple pump demand

I would agree with you that a space agency is also useful (maybe more useful some days of the week). Sam disagrees and thinks he can do better without a non-profit board now. I'm glad we live in a world where he gets to try and we get

What do you do with a a lot of money past a point? A corporate controlled AGI being just a stop on the way to build another private space agency seems like a...letdown.

Occam's razor: I think Sam's personal narrative is the correct one. He built a non-profit that took off in a way that he didn't expect it and now a for-profit is the best way to run the lightning they've caught. In terms

I think the main question will be if Meta can run the glasses under a different business model than ads/personalization. I know Meta feels like they missed out on owning the hardware ecosystem with mobile, but a big part of why Apple&#

Right, though publicly available for $99/mo. With Orion, no devkits publicly available either.

FWIW, Orion is not for sale. Exciting work! It seems like the main problems are now in miniaturizing electronics (and not optics) into a Ray-Ban form factor? Super cool.

Man, so many of Californias problems is just: “vocal minority is very loud, everyone else disagrees but are too busy to come yell at electeds, so we can’t fix this obvious problem. Done. Problem festers”

In cases of public healthcare the problem is almost always a shortage, doctor shortage, bed shortage, nurse shortage, tech shortage etc. The perfect system is a public healthcare with true abundance.

Mind boggling to me that a non-ping pongy lane keeping is not standard in cars. Is it standard in luxury cars? Seems like an obvious thing to add/upsell.

Has anyone heard about any effect Meta has said would happen if Californias SB 1047 passes[1]? Looking forward to continued updates and releases of Llama (and SAM!) from Meta. [1] https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/28

The application form is a site to behold: https://fighthealthinsurance.com/scan Specifically laying out what and how everything is stored. Hahah. Probably overwhelming to a non-dev, but Kudos either way!

How exactly? On a bus you’re surrounded by people who (more or less) have no way of really hurting you. On a highway the opposite is true, a small mistake by a well meaning fellow driver could mean death. While the incidences of crime sit a

“The master has failed more times than a novice has tried” rings true here. I’m glad there’s companies out there trying things as opposed to doubling down on rent seeking (which apple also has a tendency to do)

Yea, it's interesting, it's just a Chatbot over a Zoom (we use Daily) call as opposed to a 1-on-1 websocket (or a phone call). Other advantage is using WebRTC!

Would be cool to see a list of events/locations accessible by (even the limited) Metro line. And then map out hotels on the line and you’ve got a pretty decent Olympics experience.

I mean at its core operating a bank account, an email and a calendar is just running operations on a browser. LLM's can do that (ex: https://www.skyvern.com or https://www.gumloop.com ). edit: Though more general

What I want is a truly personal assistant (which LLM's should be capable of). Alexa can barely get me answers to google-able questions. If I could be assured of privacy issues, I'd be happy to give it access to my email, calendar,
