Robotics is all about edge cases. There are so many applications where we have robots that can do 95% of the tasks flawlessly. Yet it’s not enough. This last 5% is so broad that it’s impossible to close

Ha! The new boss of Xbox surely has innovative ideas! Layoffs, how nobody had thought about this before? In every single case layoffs degrade the company’s core product. Unless they plan to completely change the XBox business (for example t

I am not interested in teaching you how to google. I gave you pointers and keywords. Now you have to go read. Good luck.

There is a nice podcast from the NYtimes daily podcast named: “can we reverse aging?” that covers a lot of this. (Obviously when we discovered the reset mechanism people started asking why we cannot press the reset button at 70yo)

What is the accuracy in this ? Aka if I run the experiment 10 times how many differences will i get? I don’t have a physical sense on what would be a good number.

Embryos have to reset after conception to delete all of the faulty dna inherited from the parents. Babies don’t get born with wrinkles for example. They start clean slate without (most) epigenetic damage that both sperm and egg had. So the

Wasn’t the same concern with the Toyota Prius when it was first released? Only for all the doubters to be proven wrong by the taxi drivers who kept beating Priuses for decades. In any case battery failure seems rare but it still is catastro

In the US last mile is super hard because of the super high wages. The only way to work around it is volume per delivery person. If you do 2 deliveries per hour (like Uber Eats / door dash), you pay essentially $5/order (assuming

If they were targeting 60% margins in grocery they would be bankrupt. Retail has famously razor thin margins. But their cash flow came in handy when AWS needed 300B in cash for gpus. Nobody could lend them that amount.

It’s not only a faster Temu for e-junk. It can also deliver your paper wipes and bananas in the same order. Could you just place 3 different orders to 3 different vendors? Sure. Could you just drive to the grocery for 2 bananas and then to

This is exactly why TikTok won. It is so much cheaper to iterate ideas on 10” videos. You make non interesting 20’ YT video? Well too bad your 80 labor hours & equipment time are lost.

I don’t remember any time in recent history where demand skyrocketed so fast and so far away from supply. In previous cycles you mostly had supply driven shortages (remember all the fires?). Maybe crypto surge was the closest to what we obs

Because people are wasting time and tokens doing irrelevant to the bottom line things. Cool you spent 2 days and $200 building a react UI for your spreadsheet.

I wonder how Germany missed the semi manufacturing train? They had literally everything: universities, manufacturing culture, expertise and supporting supply chains, cash. I forgot, they also had ASML, freaking next door!

No. It’s just that now more people are using Linux the more the ux decisions that were made 40 years ago will be questioned. Almost all dev facing machines have ssh server installed and accessible. Why ssh terminal has to look like characte

In America the definition of at will employment is so broad that employee exploitation is not covered. Technically you sign you will work at least 40 hours per week. So 120 hours is fine by the law. And if you die at work, hey it was your c

Is your thesis that Apple is planning for the same number of sales as the previous price? If not, they ordered less chips. Hence lost capacity.

Apple did not have to be in this situation. Begging for capacity lost to startups. Everyone else can complain, but not Apple. They had a 250B warchest, exactly for such situations. Now somehow openAI has capacity and Apple does not. And thi

I did not suggest to burn it. They could have bought years ago a ram fab and ensure their supply will not dry up. Now their sales will go down as a result of the failed planning. But more importantly lost once in a lifetime opportunity to c

I mean visual programming is standard in game development. Did not get traction in the rest of the dev community. Now it does not matter anyways. We are not reading/ writing code anymore. Just specifying it and testing it.
