Now, based on this Qwenputer someone should build GPT, which stands for Gomputer Pomputer Tomputer.

I don't think anyone review these. How come Ducati is an alternative to Xiaomi?

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be considered the worst regulation of 21 century. It helped created behemoth corporations, where a single person can misallocate hundred of billon of dollars (Oh, hi Mark), they can buy out any competition.

Right now US economy is basically a centrally planned economy.

I was thinking about hybrid approach. Drilling to 5km and get water that has 200 C and use natural gas to provide additional heat to produce steam at 374°C.

Alternatively, flood the mineshafts and set up heat exchangers. Wait for Co2 turbines to become viable and get rid of gas.

I wish someone would try to convert them in geothermal plant.

These are shitty job tbh. Friend of a friend worked on designing and testing windscreen wiper motors in Poland. Company did a round of layoffs and there are zero jobs in the country. There is one job in US - nobody will sponsor a visa. He doesn't know the language to work in Asia.

He switched to software.

Invest in batteries, eletric car and solar panels.

Capture rain water.

Have a buffer of food and medicine.

Build a fireplace an store some wood.

I think this a slight different lesson. There is one algorithm that is called transformer, rest is irreverent/performance optimization.

Does anyone know what are the proposed regulations? Controlling software is impossible, so the only option is banning hardware ownership. No more mac studio.

Only on HN when someone says you should start a religion about AI the first comment is "Sounds reasonable."

I mean this sympathetically, but you and your partner seem to have an unhealthy relationship with work.

Employment is a business transaction. You sell the company your time - it gives you money. That’s the deal. The company is not your family, your father or a secret ledger of who worked hardest.

Think of it like buying groceries. You don’t expect the supermarket to love you because you’ve shopped there for 15 years. The supermarket doesn’t expect you to keep buying burnt bread out of loyalty. Either side can end the transaction when it stops making economic sense.

Once you understand this, corporate behavior becomes much less mysterious and much less emotionally destructive. You stop thinking you must deserve to be seen, deserve to be noticed, deserve to be loved.

There are no sacrifice points. Unused vacation days aren’t loyalty deposits. Working nights isn’t an insurance policy. Being liked by 30 people doesn’t give you 30 votes at budget time.

Your partner may have been excellent, and the executive may be a fool. Both things can be true. But a corporation is a bundle of incentives, budgets, politics, and contracts wearing a branded hoodie.

Do good work. Be kind to colleagues. Take pride in your craft. But take your vacation, keep your CV fresh, maintain relationships outside the company and never EVER outsource your sense of worth to an org chart.

Talk to an expert on relationships.

Any better data source? Only things I found is that job postings are down 30% and number of employees at FAANG is lower than in 2021.

1) Marketing and PR - people fear self driving cars

2) Politics - loss of jobs and urge to ban them - there needs to be a counterargument

3) Government does mandate a lot of safety features. Just insure it wont fly as this is number one risk for everybody.

> Ultimately, people will vote with their wallet.

Nope, you need a regulatory approval, insurance etc. Self driving cars need to be 10x the average driver. So the trillion dollar question is when Lidar will meet all requirements and when camera-only.

1) Both in 2028

2) lidar in 2030 and cameras in 2035

3) Gov will require lidar for full self driving

we'll be better off - assuming we'll generate revenue on our own. LLMs have opened up an enormous new frontier of micro-SaaS opportunities. One person can now build what used to require a small team.

The real problem is zero-sum work, especially when the only moat was knowledge asymmetry that is now public knowledge.

Well if us gov would block people from using windows or macos, then it may well be.

Unless it's c-corporate which require 25k usd. Money don't have to sit in bank account, you can buy a laptop etc.

>resistance to air conditioning

Where is this meme coming from? I'm in Poland atm. Half of my neighbours have aircon. I dont just because I'm on the ground floor and the max temp is 25.5C Every new apartament building is build with holes ready for AC.

Same thing happened in Poland and it was confirmed that Russians did it.

We stopped burning grass and got ticks infestation. I used work and play in tall grass as a 7 year old in my grapa farm. Never got a tick. 30 years later I found 7 ticks on my cloths after 2 hours walk on the same farm.

Have tired ADHD diagnosis?

>gear boxes with ratios like 13:1.

you add planetary gears

>sprung mass

you can integrate all into one hub (breaks, bearings, gears etc) and it weights pretty much the same.

what you gain is more space for a bigger battery, torque vectoring, no loss on diff and CVs

Could be just that USA is trying to reindustrialize and need more people that can do stuff with hands?

- the smallest population cohort is entering workforce - Trump and Covid slowed down immigration - high interest rate slows down R&D

it's not, they have a good PR. Best intelligence is quiet.
