I think that pure white (255) and pure black (0) should be using extremely sparingly. #FFFFFF? Why not #f6f6ef or #eceff4? Lower contrast can improve legibility, too much contrast can hinder it. #000000? Why not #121821, a dark shade of bl

That is a very Russian way of solving the problem.

Everything in economics always boils down to 1. supply and demand and 2. taxation. One can simply look at historical income taxes in the USA and their progressiveness and conclude that over time taxes tend to regress until some economic cal

Think about the world's poorest man, and how disconnected he is from the rest of humanity. Now think of the world's richest man. They are equally disconnected.

Musk's greatest achievements are in the field of financial engineering. I wish he could write a book about it, because it's the only part about his life that's remained invisible.

In the 1900s we called "control over technology" something else, I believe it was "seizing the means of production".

I think it's quite obvious why Lisa Su isn't motivated to financially crush her first cousin once removed. AMD is doing quite well in the CPU space and as such isn't even forced to compete in the GPU space. AMD could take mar

One of two legal outcomes must follow from OpenAI's piracy. 1. OpenAI must be fined according to law. 2. Piracy is decriminalized. Failing to do neither is an admission that the US has become a corporatocracy. That is, a form of oligar

They are complementary sensors. It's a much easier engineering feat to combine two (cheap) sensors that are good at different things and fusing this information than creating one perfect sensor that does everything. Private moon lander

Absolutely. The goal of self-driving is to be better than human drivers. Even the best drivers struggle with the sun shining from low angles, or road reflections, or snow, and so on.

Camera vision and LIDAR perfectly complement each other. Camera vision is no good detecting unknown/outlier obstacles quickly and accurately. LIDAR is great at detecting unknown obstacles quickly and accurately. You can tune the camera

As a control engineer who knows something about sensor fusion - No LIDAR no ride. Musk can brute-force his unsafe robotaxis on the road but they won't be as safe as Waymo. Maybe people won't care if the price is slightly cheaper v

Resource inequality and thus wealth inequality is rather bad because one person is generally unable to allocate resources efficiently after a certain point of excess. Resource inequality leads to inefficient resource allocation.
