Whatever underlying mental state you have running in the background will come to surface when you use psychedelics. Marijuana is a mild psychedelic. Many people seem to be under the impression we should live free from scary thoughts, dark t

I got to see Falcon Dragon launch in Florida along the A1-A. People there credit SpaceX for single-handedly rekindling the lure and luster of space travel. They were sad when the shuttle program got shut down by NASA but now a whole new gen

Gotta minimize the generational transfer of wealth as much as possible, and consolidate in groups of entrenched power as much as possible. It's fine that millennials graduated college in debt, into a recession, a decade after the dot-c

We have a choice to make about the work we want to contribute to. Our hands, our minds. What world do you want to live in? Is your work contributing to that in a meaningful way, such that when you're gone those that come after can cont

If we don't get ahead of this we'll regulatory capture ourselves into oblivion and the enemy will win anyway. As long as state-sponsored-actors are indistinguishable from black-market criminals this will never escalate beyond the

Sadly the specter of fentanyl, heroine and methamphetamine ODs, ruined lives and crime will over-shadow the goodness that is decriminalizing psychedelics. The drug-war states will simply say, "so what, everything's legal there and

Gov't is going to try and break the big ones up, and stop M&A's as anti-trust sentiment warms up. Startups will become much, much harder to benefit from. The cost of capital is going to go up and make it harder to fund-raise,

I think it's a matter of keeping the hands aligned with forearm and not having pressure on the write joints themselves. I try to keep the palms of my hand (the same part you hit with in martial arts) on the "wrist rests" inst

Just ordered a FalbaTech the other week. I am super excited. Have been using the MacBook pro keyboard for the past year and didn't have a proper desk setup until I moved to a bigger place just a few weeks ago. I had to bust out a Kines

This is why full self driving coming from a company like Tesla matters. It's vertical integration with hardware, manufacturing, battery and chip production makes it so they don't need any of the OEM legacy auto companies. They are

I give it less than 5 years before Google offloads or shutters Waymo entirely.

by solutron 6y ago
Definitely google some Tesla FSD beta videos and watch them. Waymo doubled down on a technology set and data methodology that is not scalable. Tesla is going to win in this space 100%

That's exactly how I read it. It's a huge red flag.

by solutron 6y ago
This is a huge red flag. Especially when Waymo's had no significant milestones and when the CEO is using language like 'spend time with friends and family'. That usually means they're being pushed out, or that he's

Waymo is little more than a Jurassic Park jeep ride. Only works on the tracks. Take a Waymo vehicle anywhere their engineering staff hasn't spent countless hours driving around back and forth with those ridiculous spinning lidar sensor

Tesla is 100% going to win in this space. And as Musk and Karpathy have said, the general solution will be in place and work nearly everywhere, but a long tail of edge scenarios will have to be ironed out over time. This is nascent, world c

Waymo has to learn the exact space it's going to drive in ahead of time, and then have high resolution lidar maps generated to assist. It's currently limited to use in grid-like pre-mapped areas like Phoenix AZ. Tesla is building

I don't wanna be 'that guy' but the news of this on the same day of Tesla's Q1 p/d beat speaks volumes about who's winning in this space. Watch the FSD beta vids, especially the Weimo & Tesla comparison in

Evil doesn't have to have remorselessness or have awareness of it's evil to be evil. Ongwen is clearly traumatized. But, he is also the trauma. The spread of death and despair by his hand has to be adjudicated. Life in prison is t

2x IPO strike price in first day of trading after $613M recouped stock options after the layoffs. Stock consolidation and 180 day lock up period creates a big risk for when employees sell. Lots of them probably have tens of thousands of sha

Let's wait for the follow up post. The initial video is 3 seconds long, and the photo looks like it was taken on a blackberry. I'm not saying this is a FUD scam, but it smells like a FUD scam. Business Insider hasn't always b

Electric vehicles are just one piece of the solution. We stop the output of new CO2 emissions for private and commercial transportation. Then we gotta do agriculture. Then we gotta decentralize the power grid. Then we gotta further decentra

Are the people who say "respect the role" now the same ones that said Obama was a secret Kenyan that ran a human-trafficking ring in a pizza parlor though? Not trolling, this is a serious question because I don't think we all

This is a symptom of the core, underlying problem. The coupling between employer, employee and health care needs to be undone. Employers aren't healthcare providers, we don't need additional middle-men and bureaucracy dictating, b

I don't wanna sound like "that guy" but we have to take a step back and ask ourselves how we got here. The entire software industry has it's roots in espionage and war, even though the past 30 years have seen a massive e
