Hype has become culturally embedded into the tech world unfortunately. There are whole ecosystems incentivized to hype the next new wave of whatever in hope of monetary or other gain. After this there will be something else so best to pra

Can't wait for all the consulting jobs on AI generated software that "we can't get the AI to add any more new features to correctly" and nobody knows anything about the current code.

In the medium to even sometimes short term, clean code IS what allows you to ship features to users quickly and efficiently.

I see Neuralink as just a next-gen version of deep brain stimulation where we could have a lot more stimulation nodes than 1 or 2. Just that could be quite exciting as it is already known that targeted electric stimulation in the brain can

Even though I enjoy work mostly I've learned to take a mental tally of the hours and stressful moments vs. pay. In my personal situation it seems to me that certain promotions aren't worth it. Basically I don't think its wo

Is this true? From my memory, many car brands were only good for 100-150k miles when I was a kid. Now it seems like just about all cars made in the last decade are expected to be viable to 200-300k miles

I think the unknown really is the progression of battery technology. If in 5-10 years every EV's range is 1000 miles, charging stations could be very limited in their economic viability if apartments and homes have ubiquitous installa

"Will they use their position to artificially inflate the price of electricity" Maybe but they have significantly less power to maneuver with solar, batteries and on-premise charging. All property is potentially a cheap gas stati

The thing is as adoption increases there will be less charging stations and just spots with EV charging whether its in a home, apartment or street parking. I think the idea of a station where you go to fill up with electricity or gas will

I'd guess actually we'll need significantly less charging stations than gas stations at full electric conversion being that you can fill up at home and its most desirable to do so time and cost wise. I have an electric car and us

I actually share you're hesitancies but to play devil's advocate could these more fine-grained mediations lead to better policies in scenario's where those in control work for the greater good? Things that come to mind are r

"after some time, loses enough social credit that the government decides to deprive him of the ability to use his car" I know its easy to mentally walk down the dystopian road on this, but hasn't this always been the case? Th

Wasn't this sort of baked in after Biden won but it just was a matter of when (meaning before or sometime after the 20th)? He obviously brought in an incredibly large audience to Twitter as president for an array of reasons and it see

I've recently been thinking that the current version of social media is our generation's version of smoking. I think it's going to take another 25 years but eventually I think it will be seen as something detrimental to ever

It hasn’t been studied yet but it’s very unlikely this is true. Is there any previous vaccine that this has ever been true of? If it was wouldn’t that enable the disease to continue to be rampant among groups who were not vaccinated?

I'm more curious why there was an algorithm involved at all. Based upon the number of doses they had, they should have immediately been given to as many staff on first responder units, like ER, ICU, etc as would take it. My wife work

Yeah doesn't seem like a well conceived plan if there really is a consensus amongst the super rich to isolate themselves all together on one relatively small island. First of all globally there are a hell of a lot of super rich people.

Without knowing much about ship dynamics it sounds suspicious that you could make an unsinkable ship based upon this concept. Isn't the above water mass of the ship held up by the (large) amount of air in the hull? If you punctured

I think the problem really is profit. Pepsi and Coca-Cola both sell sugar water, a commodity, at a profit. Lyft and Uber have made rides a commodity but at this point it looks like commoditization of rides is not able to be sold at a prof
