Because they'll make you worse off the more you scale them up. It's like pointing out that a drink of alcohol with a friend led to positive results so why not lean heavily into drinking? And the answer is because it is something t

Are we talking about rswail's comment? He seems to be framing the situation as a short-term aberration and trying to encourage the US to adopt policies he sees as sensible for them. That is hardly an expression of burning hatred. If on

People are probably assuming that the trends from the last few decades continue. The EU fumbled semiconductors, production went to Asia. The EU fumbled the software revolution, the successes mainly came from the US. They fumbled the transit

This is a good time to reflect on the etymology of "Banana Republic" [0]. I suspect most people don't see fruit companies as a major threat, but they'll kill and ravage to get people cheap bananas. This idea that the mor

That's kind of it though, isn't it? If you're going to convince him there has to be a reasonable chance that the opposite will happen and that he'll convince you that he's too old to learn new tricks or whatever and

Yeah. As phrased it is bad advice - nobody actually needs to be "vulnerable". Everyone should be in a headspace where they might actually change their mind rather than persuade the counterparty, which feels like vulnerability to

Why? What is the point of focusing on something that seems to be a memory management solution when the memory management problem theoretically just went away? That has been one of the big themes in GPU hardware since around 2010 era when AM

It seems pretty uncontroversial to say that kids need nurturing? What are we doing with them if we're not nurturing them? The point of the article is that nurturing babies is one of those things that stereotypical men already do. Proba

I thought the point of something like Strix Halo was to avoid ROCm all together? AMDs strategy seems to have been to unify GPU/CPU memory then let people write their own libraries. The industry looks like it's started to move towa

That isn't a sane starting point; if a corporation's strategy is to only hire above average employees they're going to fail. Enron springs to mind. Corporations generally take average people and give them a reasonably well de

Brain drain I expect. All the people who believed in freedom and entrepreneurship have had maybe a century of incentives to leave Europe and head for the US. Society seems to rely on a tiny pool of overly-motivated people to do most of the

Good? The US and Israel both have nukes. Iran probably should have them too, it needs the tools to defend itself and maintain its sovereignty despite the actions of these lunatics. It is clear that rains of conventional ballistic missiles a

I'd hazard a guess that the big reason Iran is doing well in the information war is because the US/Israel combo launched an apparently unprovoked sneak attack in the middle of negotiations without thinking about the catastrophic

If you're worried you can keep your own helium reserve? Then if there is an emergency and it turns out that you don't need an MRI you can sell the helium to whoever does and feel really good about your foresight. I'm not seei

That does sound kinda minor? A worst-case scenario of a month or two without MRI machines or "aerospace engineering", whatever that means doesn't sound particularly scary. And that is making some pretty unrealistic assumption

I suppose I'm neutral on the topic of strategic helium reserves; but what aspect of this is supposed to be pound foolish? What exactly is the buffer meant to be for? A strategic petroleum reserve makes a lot of sense, petroleum is part

This sounds well lined up with what I was saying? The CRO doesn't manage risks. Having him in with the executives is a signal that the company is putting resources into communicating with the regulators rather than that they are commit

I meant that in the sense that a typical SaaS company has no reason to be formally thinking about risk adjusted returns and therefore has no need of a CRO. If anyone cares product can do a guesstimate or something. Most companies shouldn&#x
