Wouldn’t it be more economically and fiscally efficient to…pay people after retirement by printing money on demand? It’s effectively what we are doing except we now introduced a bunch of middlemen (Wall Street) and funnel retirement money i

I am so glad Masayoshi sold BD to Hyundai so Elon didn’t get his hands on them. They can easily go public for $10B.

I guess they needed to support the stock today? This is just saying they will roll out M4 chips after M3. How prescient!

You’re right. It’s a gross generalization. But it is based on my personal and professional experience.

Think about the fact that education is pretty much free there. They even pay for Western institutions to set up satellite campuses. You’d think they should have the most educated and skilled labor in the world. At some point, you have to re

For decades, they wanted to diversify away from oil and build tech industries. The problem is they don’t have skilled labor and would have to import “slaves” as they do with everything. They have some of the lowest skilled and laziest labor

I don’t think people in East Asia work harder at all. It’s mostly sitting around and taking two hour lunches. I regularly worked 80-100 hours for most of my 20s and early 30s. It’s not sustainable at all and 95% of the population do not eve

And you wonder why China is experiencing brain drain. Rest of world is moving toward 4-day work week and these guys think their citizens are dumb enough to slave away their lives.

I didn’t know Threads is still a thing. It is still very much barebones and frankly laughable for a product pushed out by a trillion dollar company. The fact that it took them five months is even more comical considering that all they did w

Pro players train with AI and you can often see “blue dot” moves in tournament settings.

And the same is happening for AI. It’s destined to blow up spectacularly down the road.

How’s that prejudice? If you went and worked for Tesla after 2020 when all of their flaws were out in the open, then you opted into that environment. Are you saying you don’t make hiring decisions based on resume and where people worked? Hi

That’s interesting. Anyone with Tesla after 2020 would be auto-reject in my book.

Tesla is stuck with him and that will be the end. I do wonder why anyone with talent would work for Tesla at this point. Such a polarizing thing to have on your cv.

Nice. RAPIDS with pandas is pretty fast so looking forward to what’s ahead.

So Tesla is not like other companies…that survived secular changes. Tesla demographics changed quite a bit in the past five years.

Who educates these scientists through PhD programs? Oh, OK. So we are paying these people to get their PhDs so they can go and start a company to scalp people with drugs that deliver 10% lift in efficacy. What a scam model.

Because if the US doesn’t, Intel can go elsewhere. The problem with fabs in US is well documented. We simply do not have the necessary skilled labor.

This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s just a Youtuber with zero background. Edit: not saying he’s always wrong but his intention is to get clicks.

How were consumers harmed from iMessage? Apple doesn’t stop people from downloading Whatsapp and hundreds of other communication apps. The only semi-valid argument they have is the app store. And even that is 10-20% chance considering Apple

That’s not what antitrust is about. Functionally speaking, you would not be able to prove there’s economic harm. Apple’s share of smartphone does not even compare to MSFT’s share of PC back in 90/00s.

by lvl102 2y ago
That’s not Apple’s doing. They introduced iMessage as a direct result of telecom companies charging customers for text messages a la carte. If DoJ has issues with those blue bubbles then they should’ve sued telecom back then. This entire su

Completely off-topic but this post made me think about those Encarta discs growing up.

It is but if we are talking speed, I’d just opt for RAPIDS.

I enjoy RStudio but the best feature of R is data.table. It’s simply unmatched.

I am thinking reinforcement on top of Blender would be straight forward with unlimited synthetic data potential. I’ve come across people incorporating SD into rendering workflow so tools are all there.

Looks like I completely overlooked threestudio released last year. Thank you for pointing it out.

What’s the status on companies building AI models to build actual 3D backend behind these generative videos. Anyone working on something similar? Imagine that’d be far more productive. For example, lookdev mlop is pretty low hanging fruit.

How many chances does Intel get to stay relevant? How many times will it fail to finally succeed?

This space is moving so fast and it’s hard to keep track of SotA. How are management even keeping track? I suppose MSFT has enough cash to buy ‘em all.
