Yes, massive cross subsidies from core business to cloud business to exclude and destroy competition - aws=books, azure=windows, gcp=search. There are three companies doing monopolistic things, they have got away with it because of that plu

Several things struck me: first no real presaging of social media, but instead a view of personalised and interactive "media". Maybe this is what we are now transitioning to with the apparent collapse of twitter and facebook? I th

I think it all depends who you believe about how batteries will develop and the consequences of manufacturing them. On the other hand from what I understand fusion isn't all that clean itself. The problem is that it's impossible t

Interesting about the inflation here. In 1931 mean wages in the UK are reckoned to have been 1s (£0.05) per hour [1]. Currently mean wages in the UK are £617 per week (40hrs) or £15.42 per hour [2]. So a half sov in 1931 was worth 10hrs of

it's only statistically improbable to get 7 sons (in a row) if you have all couples that create 7 children have a 50/50 chance of son/daughter. If you have a reason why a couple will only produce sons (genetics) then it beco

On prem requires a capital investment and a cast iron workload prediction. If you have a stable business this works. But you may still want to go to cloud if IT is not your business. An on prem infrastructure requires capital and capital ca

“I am risk-neutral on overall impact.” isn't this a way of saying "I don't give a *@!# about any of you"? EA couched as nihilism. Nowhere in this do I find the question of "what if he/I/we are wrong?"

Yup - if you are thinking about what the story was in about 1978... Since then there's been a big change from the idea cities were the only locus of culture and technology to a view that nomadic peoples were able to create significant

9/10 requests for a simple sql query get a working query. This isn't enough to enable a useful interface. It takes a lot of scaffolding to get an llm powered interface to actually work.

I think we can see where different complex animals split in their evolutionary tree - so humans and starfish split a long way back. Then we use a standard mutation clock to estimate how long ago that was. If all complex animals split from s

Gosh - imagine that place! I wonder how old this world is, and how stable its enviroment is/has been. Complex animal life took 3.5 bn years to emerge on Earth, of course that's a meaningless data point by itself but intuitively fo

There are different levels of argument depending on the precision of the definition of the concepts in play, which is unhelpful in general but also unavoidable. I think that the folk definition of computation is so wide and vague that almos

Well - I don't bet mate. I've seen too many people ruin themselves doing it. I really suggest that you think very carefully about making bets at those odds as well as it often (about 9 times out of 10?) ends badly. Unless you have
