in the first scrolls of the README, I see a note about this project being in maintenance mode and then two huge images about how much they support Ukraine. not really what I want to see from a piece of software that's supposed to store

setting aside the difficulty in getting probabilities that sister commenters have brought up, i think what these kinds of articles often miss is that these decisions actually often are about vibes. even if i had accurate numbers and Kelly

this is an impressive tinfoil take. but what would be their plan in the medium term? like once they release this people can check their data

are you? somewhere around 60-80% of miles driven are people alone in their vehicles. aside from the car driving itself somewhere, when there's a passenger in there that's the same as your average car.

it can't drive everywhere now, but that doesn't mean they're not designing for that future.

I've been hearing that Tesla's FSD is just around the corner for a decade. so far it sounds like they're millions of miles behind Waymo

what do you mean by "distributing capital spend"? as in the money to pay for the installations is not concentrated to large utilities? why is that desirable?

using estimates online, the sum of the cost of those programs is somewhere around $4 trillion. who is ubi for? if it's all us adults, then that's somewhere around 250m people. so about $16k of UBI per person per year.

10k is about 0.7% of their total employee count. I wonder if this will have any effect.

Hue is amazing, the reliability of their products is truly impressive. I've had ~40 lights for years and not a single one has died or ever had connectivity issues.

upvotes tell you that people find it useful. we have ai now to effectively summarize the text if you want to avoid reading the whole thing. this is a solved problem

hard to evaluate sustained high profits without context. is it due to continued innovation by the firm? or just rent seeking? both can be causes of profits but we should only be promoting one of those models

making more than $100 per hour, post tax, puts you somewhere at $400k+ income per year. outside of FAANG this is nearly impossible. even within it it's not so easy lately.

I wonder what kind of impact this would have on their ability to actually provide good ML recommendations. Based on reporting that would be a lot of data to give up

the idea that you can get value from just creating draft PRs without integrating them at all does not match my experience.

almost every single time I've seen 'prototyping' done that was originally intended to be throwaway, it was ultimately the basis of the actual implementation.

this is a meaningless metric. if you have a positive net worth, you hold more wealth than the bottom 25% combined. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/whats-your-net-worth-25-of-a...
