There's the rub isn't it? We've been doing AR for over ten years at this point and I can't name a single blockbuster app besides Pokemon Go.

Half of democratic senators and zero Republicans voted to suspend arms sales to Israel. So, there's clearly a more amenable party in this debate. The Dems who didn't sign on, we lobby or primary.

I remain convinced that AR glasses will never ever be mainstream no matter how good the hardware is. They just don't solve any actual problem. Interacting with UI using voice or gesture is just way too hard.

You're trying to rewrite decades of economic theory in a single comment. You can just Google "deflation great depression" and "elasticity of demand". Think about the opposite side of the coin. You have car that is o

Trades made by actual insiders are disclosed. That's a narrower definition than what qualifies at illegal insider trading (or an insider sharing inside information with an outsider). That's also not likely to be what is happening

Stocks convey equity, pay dividends, must do quarterly disclosures, must disclose insider trading activity and, most importantly, are never used for payments. The topic is payments, not investments.

Bitcoin is not remotely predictable. The value has swung wildly over the past 5 years. Dropping more than 50% then gaining 200%. By comparison, USD has been rock solid even with the recent run of inflation. An actually circulating currency

When Bitcoin first hit public consciousness the knock from economists was that it had a built-in deflationary spiral and that seems to be true. The price keeps going up and up with a few noted bumps. Rising value is great for speculators bu

My oldest is applying to college right now and this has worried me immensely. College isn't going to be the same anymore. Dark forces are working hard to discourage discourse and diversity. I want to support institutions that still sta

I think it's not likely at all but we've been knocking down precedents one by one. Due process is buckling. He just murdered 11 Venezuelan civilians to see if anyone would stop him. He has deployed troops to US cities. He has endo

If we're placing bets, you'd bet on political motive but we're not placing bets. I'll throw out one option that's been very popular on the right wing conspiracy circuit and maybe it was a false flag to set the stage

His actions aren't a motive. They turned his life upside down and didn't find any strong political opinions and no indication he hated Trump. People also do stuff like this to get attention. The guy who shot at Reagan wanted to im

It may make no difference but as of now we have no idea who did this or why. We still have no idea what was the motive of the man who shot Trump's ear.

Didn't the government open fire on protesters killing over a dozen people the day before the protesters turned violent?

Very wrong. I'm not OP but I have two teens and we raised them from birth in a city and have never owned a car. We rent rarely and only to go on trips to places inaccessible by rail. All kids activities were walking distance or subway.

But this is for running on an old PC in your closet next to your router. Not serving 40k concurrent users. I would not even consider trying to scale it past a dozen family members. And anytime I run an upgrade or config change I just do it

And a tacit admission that absolutely nobody knows for sure what will happen so maybe let's just game out a few scenarios and be prepared.

From what I can tell, Helion energy has already broken ground on what would be a commercial fusion reactor connected to the WA grid despite their best prototype still not producing net positive energy. It's a gamble, but presumably eve

The argument above is pretty clear. Fertility is below replacement. You say it could be higher. Sure it could be but it isn't. We could also all stop committing crimes and send the police home.

by tootie 1y ago
Opposite actually. Prosperity and security decrease fertility. Go look at the most developed nations is Europe and Asia and they have lower fertility than the US. America is only hanging on due to latent religious fervor (and immigration).

You're reading way too much into the word "welcome". I don't mean we should be more polite, just more intentional. Data says immigration is generally good for the economy but certainly within some parameters. I don'

Most crimes are not arbitrary. Anything that causes or risks injury or loss of property make up that vast majority of crimes. Drinking age or driving age are proxies for public safety. Those lines are already fuzzy and breaching them is not

Such an absolutely facile take and certainly a favored one by people who want to pretend there is nothing they can do so they have an excuse to do nothing. Societies problems are as much your responsibility as any other individual.

That presumes that this kind of enforcement is a net positive and I'm pretty convinced it isn't. The distinction between legal and illegal immigration is essentially arbitrary. Illegal immigration is not a crime of morality, it&#x

Do you vote and do you consider yourself and informed voter? Do you not even consume local news? I understand the desire to protect yourself from anxiety but surely you have to acknowledge there's a downside to being willfully ignorant

Margins of 60%? On inference maybe but that disappears when you price in model training. This guy's analysis says they are bleeding out despite massive revenue https://www.wheresyoured.at/anthropic-is-bleeding-out/
