Those are close to Starbucks prices so I imagine McCafes. You can get a mediocre McD coffee for $1.

I may be wrong but it appears that he rediscovers the Church-Turing thesis in this work.

Re:Intel CEO Letter to Employees on Friday July 25, 2025 @11:50AM (#44684567)
It's a herd mentality for both. AI may be the next big thing. And the old things need realignment.

So the "market" demands sacrifice basically and there is cover when everyone else is doing it. You can be contrarian but your stock may get punished. Intel may not have a good plan anyway. The reason the market demands sacrifice is likely because of predicted unfavorable economic headwinds (etc... so signs of recession or what not). These predictions could be wrong though. Companies do constantly realign though, product initiatives fail etc...

I don't think the character makes sense in the current political environment.
Re:Reflections on OpenAI on Thursday July 17, 2025 @09:49PM (#44600369)
>An unusual part of OpenAI is that everything, and I mean everything, runs on Slack. There is no email. I maybe received ~10 emails in my entire time there. If you aren't organized, you will find this incredibly distracting. If you curate your channels and notifications, you can make it pretty workable.

This is super interesting. I work in a group where everything is on slack and some pieces are/were super hard. So much so that I want an AI assistant that can manage my slack feed etc... I feel like an AI bot/slack integration is a thing that needs to be done well.

People are extremely uncomfortable with uncertainty, especially about themselves. So they create explanations... Programmers also don't like uncertainty so they create programming languages. There's also a bit of "not invented here" syndrome.

Languages like Haskell are really applied type theory etc... In some sense, the academics invent languages for different levels of abstraction to ultimately write papers about how useful they are.

In terms of programming languages, personality wise, in the end it's all javascript. Then there is Java and the Jvm which is on a mission to co-opt multiple personalities.

This is the correct philosophy.

At some point mother is the necessity of invention which is a shift in perspective. You may have to make a market for yourself basically. It's not easy. This being a YC site, I would go through and apply to all of the interesting YC work at a startup places. There is an opportunity right now to understand AI and how to apply it to the digital workplace. Anyway, it is not easy and I wish you the best of luck!
This is another interesting take, E pluribus unum.
epistemic game theory -> mean field games -> Tao's take on NSF funding cuts etc... In this case, the solution in the latter is to pander to the audience (aka Trump). There are multiple ways to do that. I would emphasize US loss of status, China etc... Anyway, it is interesting to see mathematicians think about this. I wonder if there will be formal ways to identify a lynch-pin or to otherwise influence the lynch-pin.
At least we have the Australian's to give us Bluey and the UK for Peppa pig.
This is super cool. Not sure what it implies/means though..

This is a good insight. There’s also a similar insight about compilers back in the days before AV.. we will have AV LLMs etc… basically reinvent everything for the new stack.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Re:Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @10:33PM (#43980126)
I think they can. It is pretty easy to start simply and experiment: AirBnB San Francisco. AirBnb Paris. AirBnB London. I'll give you an example. My wife is going to France with friends and we can pay money for a good experience but they are going 5-star and we can only afford 3-4 star which is where an AirBnB is also competitive. This sub-luxe market is wide open. If AirBnB isn't interested this is a YC startup for anyone who is.
Re:Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @08:36PM (#43979476)
Here is how it should work. When people go on vacation they want an Apple like experience where it all just works. That is what AirBnB needs to sell. The only other person who probably understands this is Richard Branson (and Disney)... call it AirBnB Concierge (or even AirBnB vacations) to blend in the AmEx style angle. It's easy peasy Chesky, make it happen.

Thanks! That was super helpful.

Cars are overpriced already so the recession will force the manufacturers to eat the cost or continue to extend the financing window. China will probably be banned from selling cars here so it may work.

Thanks! I am familiar with attention, linear attention, flash attention etc... just not up to speed on how it is scaled to 1M or 10M context windows.

Thanks. Is there a summary paper out there? I get that I need to read a lot and am willing to do so..
