that wavelength penetrates the skin. you need to be around 222nm for human safety
uviquity has prototypes of a 220nm solid state chip they’ll commercialize next year (we’re an investor). a single far-uvc photon will destroy the covid virus.

You clearly have deep understanding of base reality and the emergence of complexity. So please share an actual argument.

It’s the other way around. Waymo may do the job exquisitely, but exquisite is also expensive. Telsa has always constrained their system to lower cost hardware. It’ll be easier for Tesla to eventually punch through than for Waymo to cut their costs to that of a Tesla robotaxi.

Power eventually turns a high trust society into a low trust society when that power is used to one’s own advantage.

Think different. No kidding. No one is going to think this.

YC is putting through 200+ companies per batch and making a tiny investment. It’s far more efficient to swallow the occasional bad bet than to do a lot due diligence… Now the VCs that came in after… that’s another story.

This is a great point. LLMs may flood an app with more features without making it better. At the end I do the day you still need to make something people love. AI may help you build that faster if you know what do build, but it’s not going to make a bad product great.

Do driverless cars make all this moot?

This sits in a larger field of complexity theory and complex adaptive systems. There was also some interesting work on “Artificial Life” although that research program seems to have fallen out of favor. My introduction in 1995 was the book Chaos and then Stuart Kauffman’s At Home in the Universe. Wolframs New Kind of Science was also interesting.
