I get this feeling that AI might be like full self driving in 2016. Elon said in months it would be solved. It seemed like it might be true, but it wasn't. One thing I definitely know is that no middle manager is showing up to work on

All the climate modelling is based on correlation, so I thought that's what we were doing. Is there another approach we should be taking?

It seems like battery technology hasn't improved much since the model s was introduced. A 2012 Toyota Camry was rated around 28 mpg combined. A 2025 is rated at 46 mpg combined. That's a 60 percent improvement. I don't think

The earth has had some of the fastest warming ever in the last 15 thousand. During this time crop yields have increased dramatically. The trend is unmistakable, the warmer the planet, the more food we produce.

Really hard to know, but the creatine that didn't seem to help was a cheaper, bulk buy. My guess is that it wasn't as much creatine as it said. Unfortunately, I feel like there is a lot of misrepresentation around supplements.

I've been a terrible sleeper for about a decade. Weeks on end where I am only sleeping a few hours a night. Can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, just tired all the time. Tried all the sleep hygiene recommendations but made

Does twitter have a current transparency policy that would provide any reasonable evidence that this type of behavior has stopped?

Not really. I just noticed that yesterday one of the top stories on HN was coinbase vs Apple. Yet earlier in the week there were hardly any stories of Elon vs Apple. Obviously Elon declaring war on Apple was the much bigger story. People on

They seem to be trying to keep anything critical of Elon off the front page.

I guess I am just a classic HN reader, so I wonder why Twitter needed so many people. Also, I find it pretty interesting how this is playing out so far. I'm starting to think that Mr. Enron Musk is going to pull this off.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is zero chance you could solve any part of global ev fueling.

I don't think this correct. Many industries in north America are still not producing at precovid levels. For example: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DAUPSA

I think you are the first person I have read to say this, but I totally agree. The cost to secure the Bitcoin network is a function of the market capitalization. If the market cap increases so will the cost of securing the network. If Bitco

Definitely. It turns out people don't like change. No dog in this flight.

I just find it unbelievable that after a decade of the smartest people moving into the crypto space, the best crypto solution is the first one, created by a single person 13 years ago. It makes Bitcoin look like an anti-technology.

This doesn't sound right. Google gets millions of applicants per year. Surely some of those appliacants would be willing to work for less.

Or it could be that technology companies will start to use the investment banking model. Where the only way to tell if someone will make a good investment banker is to see if they can spend 100 hours a week in the office doing the most mund

It was always a HN mantra that one got paid for the value they create. I guess it is more likely that where you sit is more important than what you do. Also, I see a lot of comments about higher productivity in the office. Google has had re
