absolutely ZERO Ai companies need bailouts. this is complete theater.

if you are reading this, please do some research on how much money inference prints? its not wildly spoken about because people don’t yap about printing money.

“Oh but it’ll all come crashing down” - say you don’t work at a lab or know anyone at a lab.

My greater annoyance is HN becoming annoying political in the past few years. Sure, everything is political now but the moderation siloed these posts better. Maybe the user base is too old now. Fresh blood went to Discord or X.

Does anyone wink wink know when SiriAi (this improved version) hits iPhones? I currently have a laptop acting as an always listening personal assistant but it would be nice to have my iPhone be able to tell me anything but, “I’ve found this on the web for you - check it out”.

Everyone who’s someone has moved to Twitter (or bluesky), even PG does not comment here like he used to.

Reddit is dead, the investors know this, their only income source is selling data to AI companies, and discord ate the “build your own community” lunch.

Talk with someone from a lab and they’ll tell you weighing Reddit data too highly results in more “hallucinations” so even their product is bad..

All the high signal commenters left Reddit, and they’re leaving here slowly too.

Are you versed in the history of corporations and US government during WW2?

You’ve let your worldview get so small your counterpart is convinced Biden funded the Covid pandemic to steal the 2020 election. He’s got all the proof, as I’m sure you do too. Take a breather for a few months.

Aveeno hand lotion recently shrunk. They labeled the new bottle “new design” and changed the font and spacing. It’s looks so similar in size it fooled me.. but they reduced the amount of lotion you get.

I imagine the CEO signing off on the changes - impressed with the designers, such impressive CAD tooling Baumol would shed a tear.

the inflow to the US is historically low, and this increase of US to EU immigrants is a very good thing imo - the US should be more US, the EU more EU, China more China etc etc.

you have to control for the stress, lack of sleep etc.

do partners who purchase a puppy also have lower T in the following months if they are primary caregivers?

I wouldn’t trust these sourced studies - smells exactly like replication crisis findings.

Malcom Gladwell meticulously sourced the researchers when he was writing his books. He got everything right. It was all the researchers who lied.

This is weak logic - you know darn well how difficult and costly the battle of the pacific would have been on both sides without the Nukes.

Iran is disliked by all their Arab neighbors besides Qatar.

Is NK really a success? Are they doing well? You plan to hedge long run the world needs another poorly developed pariah state with 90 million people doing suboptimal?

Iranian leadership was fine btw dying for Martyrdom. So let’s give a strongly theological government happy with Martyrdom a nuke. Because they won’t care about the consequences.

You might know technology but you are clueless about the world. Every Iranian not in Iran hates Iran.

they were making a nuke, plenty of details there - and no one wants another NK situation in the world.

Btw, Iran with conventional missiles struck its Arab neighbors.

After Trump leaves office the next President will still hate Iran irregardless of political party.

Seeing the operational capability of Mossad in Iran means if desired, one should assume the US and China are equally capable.

The US didn’t make a space force to please the ego, it was likely to occur eventually. They aren’t spending all their time wargaming a moon invasion lol

Logistically, hacking tons of different model routers is not feasible. It would be more useful to yank the power grid.. which can be accomplished with missiles or software.

I cannot believe you went to the UK. what? You’re smart and went.. I don’t think anyone on that island has made 1 good decision in 50 years.

Thatcher: bad Invasion of Iraq: bad Brexit: bad Human Challenge Trials: good Free Speech: bad Too many immigrants: bad Revolving cascade of PMs who can’t get anything done: bad

Listing out a few - I guess I appreciate the Covid stuff. Hmm. still on the whole, I would be in the green longterm shorting everything about the UK.

The most interesting cultural export is Bonnie Blue (sign of decline).
