Isn't starlink and its competitors a cheaper way for rural places to get fast internet?

At some point I did some research and the Atacama was suggested to me as the best vantage point on earth for simple skygazing. Definitely on my bucket list.

I have many concerns with this kind of funding model, but I don't think the measurement problem is so serious. Performance incentives in education typically reward improvement of the student cohort relative to how it was performing the

Additional point: wage increases not uniformly distributed, whereas costs are moreso.

I love cities that embrace street food. My home (New York City) is well-regarded for street food, but I found it that it's nothing in comparison to Mexico City where a vendor seems to dot every single street corner. With our density, N

I am an airbnb host, and exclusively rent out my own apartment on the handful of weeks per year that I'm traveling. If airbnb was banned, my apartment would be vacant during that time. This would push tourists into hotels, driving up t

wouldn't that reward the seller, and still be potentially costly for OpenAI?

A friend of mine is VP (not partner), and he seems to spend most of his time on deals. Market research, building financial models for a potential LBO, or for the sale of a portfolio company. From what I understand, the on-the-ground managem

I think LLMs can transform between precise and imprecise languages. So it's useful to have a library that helps and the input or output be precise, when that is what the task involves.

Serious question: is it typical to describe client-side computing as "on the edge"? I thought running something on the edge referred to running it in close network proximity to the user, rather than users having control and runnin

One reason is that inflation has a lot of inertia, because inflationary expectations drive more inflation. A strong labor market drives up wages. When not matched by GDP growth, those wages increase costs, which cause workers to demand high

Many of us have already dealt with a 20% haircut, at least on the RSU portion of compensation. * Higher cost of borrowing is putting pressure on growth companies that relied on cheap capital * Economic downturn makes it harder to do busines

I think you're conflating the standard english word "optimal" with mathematical optimization.

There is no such thing as a published scientific journal available to only one country. Nobody is saying that the government can't fund private research (as it surely does in the context of security, defense, etc). But that if research

I'm not an expert in this area. But a fairer comparison would be a US service like Venmo. In my experience Fraudulent payments with venmo are much harder to recover. I think a lot of fraud prevention tech can reasonably be done in a ma

I think you could have written this opinion instead of your initial comment, and it would have been better received. In my view, it's not one or the other. Studying and correcting mistakes of the past can also provide a hint for where

I don't think VC money is "smart money", it's just not designated for investment in public markets. The "expertise" of a VC is in private growth equity, not liquid public stocks.

I agree when it comes to plans. But in general, aren't there some cases where we want to moderate our communication based on how it will be received? Honesty is the right default, but not universally correct. The classic example is tha

Every school I've attended opened its doors before classes started. This has other benefits like making sure kids have access to breakfast.

There are still crypto projects whose primary focus is privacy (eg monero). But unsurprisingly, it's difficult to spend that money without going through a KYC process. I think the "dream" of truly private transactions was alw

Well, I guess measurements of the early universe (100-250 million years after the big bang) can test predictions made by models of the inflationary period.

I think even highly skilled engineers end up needing to be available for certain kinds of meetings. To whatever extent I'm highly skilled, I'd prefer that it be reflected in my responsibilities and compensation, rather than levera

Can you explain in more detail why this can't be updated online? We can track the rank of newly sampled pairs in LogN using something like an order statistic tree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic_tree
