If anything, I’m worried they’ll both increase prices after they IPO and are pressured by investors.

I guess the money printing is slowing down, so the most important thing is to keep it printing fast. And of course those in-or-adjacent-to the White House are trying to blatantly grab that printed cash.

Until climate plans align with short-term personal incentives, I don't see how there's going to be any serious persistent fight against climate change. People might feel benevolent one day and do something good, but the next day w

This is like putting your money in a bank ran by a cartel and expecting them not to steal it as soon as it benefits them.

Generally speaking, with humans there's more guardrails & responsibility around letting someone run while in an organization. Even if you have a very smart new hire, it would be irresponsible/reckless as a manager to just give

Did Britain start out with the same gauge as India? I kinda expected India and Britain to use the same gauge, and was a bit surprised. Also, what's going on in Australia?

Well, they at least achieved some free PR for these shenanigans. Probably their best outcome.

I wonder if this decline means the public health campaigning and lessons about drinking/smoking/drugs prevention made a difference? As 1 data point, I have a cousin who is 17, and I am 35. As a 17 year old, she's been taught

Has anyone tried this with Llama 3.2 or any other “open source” options?

At a personal level, it feels better to have something of your own to hold on to instead of someone else’s, so I think beaucrats will also respond accordingly. In a way, we’ll probably see more cloud fragmentation in the future, especially

The market is sorting itself out right now, and eventually the wheat will get separated from the chaff. Every cycle, theres all types of people hop on board whatever the hype train is... it's the same mindset as pioneering for gold in

IMO, I'd expect to see more international D2C start eating the lunch of US retailers as the D2C companies see they can make more money and still offer lower price points. If the main value proposition of retailers is importing goods th

Mass shippers like Aliexpress already stopped using ePacket. Ali has their own Cainiao. The big companies realized if they do the Amazon model and build their own logistics network for cross-Pacific sea/air freight, the long-term savin

The dust still hasn’t settled yet, but from following the discussions and learning more about the board of OpenAI… just… wow. What stood out: 1. The whole non-profit vs for-profit is like a recipe for problems. Taking billions in investor m

The board completed the "fuck around" stage, now they're in the "find out" stage.

That board is going to face a wrath of shit from Microsoft, Khosla, and other investors. This isn't a university department. You fuck around with $100B+ dollars of other people's money, you're gonna be in for it.

Did you do anything else special in getting it to correctly reference the documentation? Now that you brought this up, I could really use this ability with some 600 pages of documentation I have.

At some point, I think US cities have to just accept & own up to the fact that we have quite bad infrastructure for pedestrians. Drawing some lines on the road isn't going to stop a 5,000lbs hunk of metal going 20mph over the speed

How much money do you think a government contracting company charged for this system? Considering how crappy and plain the UI is, they must have made a boatload of money for not a very high bar.

Have people also faced these same types of problems with Wordpress? How did you deal with it?

The hardest part for me in exploring new music is the ‘discovery’ process of new music that I like. Most of the algorithms just want to reinforce giving me recommendations of either mixes of the same music, or just slightly different but ov

As someone who has ridden the DC bus before (mostly when the Metro broke), "free" meets the mark on the only price I'd pay to use it again. Aside from the other stuff you can probably picture, it's slow AF and takes long

Based on the article, I was surprised China and India accounted for ~50% of the world’s coal use together. Those are both huge economies and I guess a big part of the problem is that they need (cost-effective) energy today, not tomorrow, so

IMO the hardest part about rolling out other forms of public transportation like scooters is creating a public ecosystem that will properly support multiple modes. The public part is important because an ecosystem is not one individual
