Has anyone actually verified the numbers? Per my calculation, per hour cost of running a car in US is about $17. Minimum wage is $15/hr. In my experience, Uber/Lyft charges comfortably so the drivers earn above minimum wage. I hav

Cathy seems to eat up a lot of completely out there stuff like no tomorrow. Lesson I learn from Ark is that don’t trust tech ETFs by people who are not actually in tech. It’s like investing in VC who has never spent time building actual pro

Twitter had 100M MAU after 3 years and it was still operated entirely by just 300 people. So it’s not that hard. Musk could easily recruit 300 engineers and cost will be peanuts to him. Additionally, early growth of Twitter was driven by va

Yes, of course not an expert but I come across fair amount of business and spend more time on these observations than most people I know. Restaurants don’t have to build apps. They just have to sign up to apps that already exists like toast

Vast majority of businesses are extraordinarily inefficient. This is my favorite pass time to identify these inefficiencies. For example, majority of restaurants can eliminate customers waiting on waiters by simple app like toast. There is

Next Google isn’t going to be index based search engine. Imagine a massive distributed neutral model which has digested billions of pages. The query isn’t going to be keyword-ish like “kids cough medicine” but rather question with all detai

Human brain has very likely 10^15 synapses so these models are still behind at least 3 orders of magnitude. To put in perspective, if you want to simulate “network” of human brain, you probably need an entire data center worth of GPUs.

Wayve pushes very hard on what is called "end-to-end" approach. That means, you input sensing into the deep network and out comes the controls. No ifs and buts. When it came out on 2017, no one I knew believed that it can possibly

Capitalism has nothing to do with fewer or more companies. A founder can currently be rewarded as much as 1000000X than an average employee simply because the arrangement is that employee gets paid for time (a highly limited quantity) whi

I had worked out some costs. If you want to build an index-based search engine that is at least competitive on coverage, if not relevance, it would cost you about $2B/yr for at least a period of 4 years just to boot things up. So, that
