The unification isn't the issue. It's whose government will get to run the whole thing.

Being dependable isn't black and white. US has become less dependable but a lot of countries still depend on US maybe less but not as allergic as depending on China.

With China, the issue isn't really the quality of the product. It's the geopolitical issues. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other countries even Philippines and Vietnam don't want to depend too much on China. A lot of island dispu

I want a reliable e-ink phone. Minimal phone is good but flaky to the point that it is annoying. Odd UX that can't be configured (and no idea why). For example, if you touch the power button, it'll unlock and wake up the phone. Th

I remember. The year that it started maxing out was from 2013. We all know how to solve this problem e.g. ranked by compensations maybe with some restrictions and diversifying occupations a bit. We know which companies abuse it. The number

I moved to US using H1B a decade ago and worked in FAANG earning 300K - 1.2M a year as an IC engineer. It never screams EXPLOITATION louder than this.

IMO the names pronounce identically. They are in the same space. When people tell each other about this "io" or "iyo" device, they will 100% be confused. Or most of them will only think of OpenAI's io. The iyo guy i

> the US / Israel want to topple the regime... that worked really well in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afganistan.... Then, they wouldn't be organized enough to build a nuclear weapon. That would be a better outcome.

Yeah. I'm interested in building a website with AI. I'm actually looking to build one e.g. a curated list of Xs. Still deciding what X should be e.g. free cool rooftop places in SF for example. That's why I asked how long it

The website looks like it was built by AI. How long did it take you to build this?

Yeah of course we cannot short a non-public company. If we could, then forget OpenAI. I would short every private company and end up richer than Elon Musk because 99% of the private companies fail. “Wanting to short a private company” is su

I wonder what an average net worth of a person who works at Google for 20 years. This guy must have been pretty high up maybe at senior staff / principal for several years at least. A principal can probably draw >$1M per year. Would

I don't think that distinction changes how much each of them is worth relatively to each other. Achieving $300M ARR in 1 year is extremely extremely impressive regardless of churn or any other metrics really (assuming reasonable number

Investment vs. acquisition is going to have different price points. At $40M ARR, I assume the founders don't really need to make more money and are not in a rush to sell. Therefore, the price would go even higher. This can't be co

JetBrains makes $400M in revenue and is 10+ years old. Cursor is 1 year old and makes $300M in revenue. One is going to be valued at a much higher multiple than the other.

LMAO what. I was really impressed and thought of buying one. I was thinking that it could replace my phone, and I wouldn't use phone as much.

Yes. Apple's competitors are suppressed by Apple. Competition would reduce. Thus, consumers would be considered harmed.

why don't we throw in a belt pouch as well??

By default, we should not add anything to the water. The burden of proof should be on the people who want to add it. Because that is extra cost, extra chemical. If they can't prove it, then we don't do it.

I just saw Trump in a press conference announcing huge funding for OpenAI, whom Musk tries to destroy “Tremendous power” you say?

by ergocoder 1y ago
He tried to get out because the market crashed. FB went down like 3x. I don’t think there is anything more than that. There was no harm in trying to get out and potentially buying it at a half price. He tried and failed.

To be fair, twitter hasn’t really competed or been comparable to Meta for a while. Not saying that they aren’t competitors, but it is more like they have been out-executed by Meta even before Musk’s acquisition. Way before. To be more fair,

I read it, and it sounded more like an excuse. Astronauts could have come down anytime but for this weird reason they decided to hang out up there in an unplanned 8 month trip. > my comment is accurate Not really. You mentioned Musk stra
