The source article in Korean actually seems to tell a somewhat different story, that it's been a massive productivity boost in their early experiments. You could focus on the points of friction, but that isn't the main takeaway I

Most likely this method https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.10226 (EDIT: and Google's SynthID paper which builds on it https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08025-4 )

Lower real operating costs isn't the same thing as below cost pricing. US law here is nuanced. Good quick primer https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

A lot of people are commenting on this without reading the actual content of the deal, which is spelled out in Intel's press release: https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1748/...

I had somehow completely forgotten about this game, but I remember being absolutely absorbed. It was in a separate class of storytelling at the time. Come to think of it, you can probably draw a line from it to Disco Elysium.

It's a neat idea that you could publish a paper like this that establishes a framework for thousands of years.

This won't be a satisfying answer (and won't work for startups), but the solution I saw most frequently was to assign them dedicated diplomats or maintain a middle mgmt class who are well suited to coddle them, absorb most of thei

I have a lot of experience working with the weird nerd archetype and watching them navigate large orgs. First it's absolutely true that orgs that purport to support weird nerds will revert back to rewarding politicians. I've seen

I've seen the "coup" framing a lot I just don't see how that's justified. They're the board of directors! Hiring and firing the CEO is core to the job (as is maintaining mission alignment, in the nonprofit worl

Probably highly volume dependent, but still useful!

It'd be nice to have a similar site but cost per token.

Nice. We'll have to check back in 10 million years to see how it went.

Yea there is no way. Everyone seems to be misinterpreting the situation.

Great meta-comment: The attention economy has changed a lot over the last 2 decades.

Right that's the most likely strategy, but would also be Apple deciding to get in the licensing business (potentially with complications for their core biz) and is also something they could reasonably compare as an option against other

Figuring out the right amount of endowment is quite difficult, but you certainly need a LOT to get the outcomes like PARC. Are you running it off interest or burning down the pot? Also possible that we are simply in a different techno-econo

I would guess mindshare in a crowded field, ie discussion threads just like this one that help with recruiting and tech reputation after a bummer ~8 years. (It's best not to overestimate the complexity/# of layers in a bigco'

Yea, the bigger issue is that the maintenance itself is expensive and disruptive.

I love this. Naive feudal lords as the historical equivalent to high net worth preppers.

Pretty sure that's not how copyright damages work. Don't take legal advice on HN folks.

A counter point you often hear is that this way of interacting with computers is only appropriate or enjoyable to a small number of people.

Huh interesting. Based on my searching it seemed that light sheet microscopy required dealing with brain slices.

Lot of folks seems to be missing the fact that they slice the brain up afterwards and merge those scans with the MRI data.

I'm not sure in what sense this is a "plan". Looks more like a decarbonization feasibility napkin sketch.

Yes it's true! People with non-economic viewpoints are vulnerable to being hurt or taken advantage of by management. It sucks.

Not everyone sees work in that way. Human psychology is complex and often times it's difficult to reduce workplace relationships down to simple economic relationships. You might argue that people should view all work relationships as

It seems like a very specific scenario you're concerned about, which doesn't necessarily force one to conclude we need to keep gas heating. I'm skeptical a 20 unit building would buy enough battery storage for long duration e
