It might even be specific to Microsoft: once the make back the money they invested plus 100B, they are cut off. Maybe the original Intercept article has a better explanation, but it’s behind paywall. In any case, I wouldn’t count on the dea

I think what GP might be saying is that there is some risk associated with therapy (e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/insight-therapy/2020... —- not sure if it’s a good source but you can find plen

The deficit since October is roughly the same as all defense expenditures: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/natio... So even if they went to zero and didn’t have any effect on revenue, we’d still

Same. This is more someone made it big enough to build his childhood dream house than not what I would associate with the word McMansion. Now, if this is mostly architectural crap over standard American construction, that’s just terrifying,

About the same headline number as a $350 Xbox Series X! Although fp64 vs fp32 and Linpack vs peak.

Absorption is poor sublingually and is limited by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_factor so I wouldn’t be surprised if most of those doses just get destroyed in the stomach

In part due to Alameda making it an attractive venue to trade on (at a loss) and other shenanigans though.

There usually are reasons for real estate prices that you can’t know from basic stats. Also about the point of being unaffordable, your first listing basically doubled since the last sale a few years ago, so in relative terms things aren’t

Probably nobody knows for sure. I can say why I’m not bullish but it’s just a post hoc rationalization. Tesla: general economic environment, stiffer competition and too many things piling up that will come “next year”, which will dry up one

ChatGPT behaves like it’s either under examination and might as well say something with confidence, or it’s just been trained on a body of work written mostly by bullshitters. Would be nice if it just said it didn’t know some times.

There’s really no way to tell. If there is a hole and they broadcast that early, there will be a run and they are toast, so, like everyone else so far, they can only continue to service withdrawals until they no longer can. And up to that p

You can do that cheaply by picking up a pair of reading glasses, or glasses with lower power if you are already nearsighted. Roughly, infinity will be at 1/diopters in meters, so +0.5 glasses will make 2m away at infinity, +1.0 at 1m,

With a long enough time horizon, the GP consideration ("If we continue to grow GDP (~energy consumption) at about 1%/y, we’ll boil oceans in 400 years.") will still come true even if expanding in space. A sphere expanding aro

The same could be said about the invasion in the first place though, after the worsening from 2014, even if they managed to pull off the initial plan. It seems more of a response/warning to the sending of weapons that has a tiny bit of

I agree with you: I think the model has been continuously breaking down from the beginning, and this is just a case of extreme goalpost moving. 20+ years ago, Kurzweil was very confident in Moore's law + Dennard scaling working to ~202
