if you're invested in a broadly diversified index you can be annoyed by this thing, but it won't impact you a lot. E.g. if you owned something based on MSCI ACWI, which is free float weighted and global, SpaceX will end up being l

but google, meta, microsoft and amazon were making a ton of money even before the AI boom. OpenAI and Anthropic's can go bust, but ads, windows and cloud hosting would still make a ton of money without them.

Japan is also already in the world's largest free trade agreement with the EU[0] and in a joint development program for a next generation fighter plane with Italy and the UK[1]. The US has squandered a massive amount of goodwill since

hate speech in the EU is "incitement to violence or hatred based on race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin"[0]. You should be able to see criticism is fine, while calling people "stupid monkeys" is

indeed, I know this is not actually AGI, I know it hallucinates and it's not reliable in all situations, buy any of today's LLMs would appear magical to anyone from 20 years ago.

The argument is, as I understand it: * Valuation of the sp500, the hyperscalers and Nvidia is (mostly) reasonable based on earnings * Build out of infrastructure is demand-driven, hyperscalers are not building just for future demand that wo

I had not read much of him before but I read Permutation City last year and it's one of the most thought provoking (and upsetting) books I've read in a long time, can't recommend it enough.

Why? Was space exploration incompatible with Sharia? Is it the pornography bit of xAI?

To be fair, these are not regulators, just private companies making up rules, so technically this is not corruption just something that looks like it but it's just business™

I prefer the black&white version with headbanging Raffaella Carrà but alas, I can't find a proper version ATM. Peak early 70s.

do you really believe your biometrics being checked once when you enter a continent as a foreigner is the same as being videotaped at every moment in your own country as a citizen?

> according to Dario, about a month ago, they had about a 73% margin. Do you have a source for this? I missed this and it does not match my impression.

Ah of course, thanks. By the rest of the comment it looked like it was actually fine to share so this interpretation flew over my head.

It seems reasonable to expect that some behaviors transcend culture and go back to instinct (tho expectations often conflict with reality) which probably is not even human specific. IIRC Konrad Lorenz pointed out in Solomon's Ring that

sure, there are different recommended amounts, the EFSA recommendations are 2.5l per day for a grown up man and 2l for a woman[0]. I'm a bit bigger than the average so I got 3l as a recommendation when I was on a diet or when I had spe

it's a matter of habit. 3l of liquids per day is what various doctors in different (european) countries have recommended me over the years.

You wrote "can't attest" but the rest of what you wrote seems like you're actually attesting it. Typo, or I am just misreading?

Same for us. I think as kids were were indeed constantly thirsty when playing in the streets, but on family trips my mom would have a big water container, so maybe it's just a kids/parents split. What baffles me is the rise of wat

The more I age the more important hydration turns out to be. Gastric issues, joint pain, blood pressure, weight problems, kidney stones, bad breath, constipation.. and now brain issues too? Do yourself a favor, and start drinking a ton of w

I think most people believe it unlikely that one million line of codes can be reviewed in one week, and the fact that tests pass does not imply good code. I have no idea whether the new or old code is/was good, just pointing out what s

Switzerland has cantonal wealth taxes, as does Norway and afair Spain. Italy, Belgium, Netherlands have a somewhat equivalent one on money held in securities or savings accounts. It's not that big of a deal if the rate is low enough.
