There's an interesting job interview question: do you want to be more like Woz or S. Jobs? Elon Musk's management style is very Jobs-like: Motivates via manipulation and wow-factor of cutting edge, has grand visions, yet knows wha

I think the point is that anyone can enter the AI cloud market to compete with the fat cats if they get too pricy. NVIDIA's de-facto standards are the closest thing to a market moat. If AI ends up highly tied to NVIDIA's standards

I don't think anyone is arguing it's giving zero value, only that the total value is not keeping up with investments. Look at the recent smart-speaker bubble: people indeed use them, but not often enough for profitable activities,

Objective info is currently hard to come by, but my horse sense is that Big AI is subsidizing it for many projects, including those in other companies, to gain both market share and investor excitement (deserved or not). If one looks at mos

Similarly, those of us who cannot afford high-end AI have to use Photoshop to fake the AI look for our memes, like gluing extra toes on people.

Once I coughed, sneezed, and farted at the same time. Very painful.

That would have made a good Silicon Valley plot: they discover they accidentally put a trade secret in their logo, and have to jump through hoops to collect, hide, and delete the bad version without making competitors curious about their ef

CP/M is the Yahoo of OS's: had a mile-wide opening of opportunity to step into, but blew their chance through greed, short-term thinking, and suits-gone-wrong. CP/M and co. could have been Microsoft, and Yahoo could have been

What about embracing forms of tent cities rather than disparaging them? Homo Sapiens have been sleeping in teepees and portable huts for roughly a hundred thousand years; we have evolved to survive in such. Have shared showers, restrooms, w

In the end it may be easier to reprocess the synth version with AI trained on acoustic sounds, ideally with options to select different performers' styles. The long list of algorithmic tips there may indeed work, but could be expensive

The nice thing about line numbers is that you didn't have to learn a different code editor for different computer brands. I could walk up to any computer that had BASIC in a department store, and program up my favorite childish prank o

Thanks for the tip! Everyone's physiology is different so one has to try many different things to see what works for them. I'll add this to my list of suggestions.

I thought the Earth is rather fluid inside such that stuff gets mixed around over time. That such blobs can stay intact for billions of years seems far-fetched.

Oligopolies ruin everything. There are a few industries where they make sense, but most, not.
