It's only inflation if you also double your earnings (tongue in cheek, this takes obviously place on a macro scale). This is about balancing costs. Globalization created environmental externalities that are not sustainable. While you e

Interesting. It really seems like wherever the power goes, the corruption follows. The good news with privatization is that it doesn't attract the corrupt looters to government and you can trust them as a culture to be a watchdog for c

Yeah, they teamed up with the Mormons mapping out the entire human family tree and have been able to predict every possible child DNA sequence in order to eventually create Paul Atreides. (as for your question, I have no idea)

I love books with hidden little things in books, like Hofstadter's GEB where he writes messages in the first letter of each line. Not to mention the plethora of meta self-references and recursions.

I loved when Gemini called out what I thought was a very niche problem as classic. I think there are very few people attempting this stack, to the point where the vendor's documentation is incorrect and hasn't been updated in two

The amount of golf carts and golf-cart adjacent vehicles in my neighborhood (and others, 2022 saw $1bn in sales) seem to differ. Although they'd have to be inexpensive.

It's crazy to me how acceptable (or just prevalent) it's become to openly wish for murder online, even on this site.

Weird take, it seems to me like his success was driven by being a net value-add for his community. Going to his same barber everyday is less "being waited upon by legions of servants" and a lot more sharing your success with the c

I think that addresses the root issue here- the money is not efficient in getting those things done. It's not even hidden and the freeloaders really seemed to feel no shame since covid (maybe social media is the cause?). It happens all

How does that risk differ from human drivers? Other than the fact that the training would affect many vehicles vs just one driver, and the fact that humans are only supervised with possible intervention for 6hrs total.

Most FSD users are in it because they see how great things could be if self-driving existed, and are willing to put in the risk to get the algorithms trained.

Europe's safety is optimized for its environment: mostly narrow, crooked, and crowded streets with a lot of pedestrians. Most use cases for a pickup truck that's only sold in North America are in the part of America where you&#x27

No, it is specifically stated that there are no repercussions for finding other work.

They churn through employees fast and they usually exit through burnout (no offloading) and the people wanting to work there skew towards young people who don't know what they're doing. A lot of work gets delayed, dropped, etc and

Not sure where the missiles came from, you said all offensive weapons so in my mind I was picturing basic firearms. Drug trade might be their most profitable business but I think you're missing a whole lot of cultural context by sayi

How about 30k drones come from a shipping vessel in the port of Los Angeles that start shooting at random people? To insert a human into the loop (somehow rapidly wake up, move, log hundreds of people in to make the kill/nokill decisio

Without going too far into it, if we laid down all offensive weapons the cartels in Mexico would be inside US borders and killing people within a day.

Human's short context windows with too many areas to research and stay up to date on is why I don't believe any version of Democracy I've seen can succeed, and the only real positive to some kind of ASI government/polici

It does align pretty closely to their mission statement "to organize the world's information and make it accessible and useful for everyone", so it might be easier to make a case for its continued existence. It also is anothe

I've seen it where development happens under one Customer, then a few years later they get some bad management and flounder, then a new Customer team (or teams) has pretty much the same mission. It's nice to be able to carry what

It seems to me like they started out aiming for a smaller role, pursuing AGI through the advancement of algorithms and technologies. After their 15min of fame where they released half-baked technology (in the true Stanford Way), they seem t

It's much more valuable to watch it, see what kind of scans are coming from it than to just shoot it down immediately. It is also a bargaining chip for those in international politics. If you're going to shoot it down, it has the

They found a creative way to incentivize the collection of it and paid for the processing. Anybody can collect the same data, I don't see why they would have to release it... It would be nice of them though.
