One thing I learned right away in college was that alcohol effects different people very differently.
Guess what category of drug reduces the intake of large amounts of sugar?
Don't let it outside the sandbox. Don't let it have access to anything but dev environments. Continue using git. Never had any issues.
> My feeling is we're still in the Uber era subsidy period I often wonder whether this doesn't continue indefinitely. Uber was able to do this because it was just them and Lyft playing second fiddle, with a huge barrier…
You're welcome to move somewhere with no taxes. I hear those places are all very pleasant.
That's what happens when there's a need for something. You see an explosion in offerings, and then eventually it's whittled down to a handful of survivors.
Well, and once this kills the web then Google's AI no longer has a data source its AI can tap to answer questions about anything that happens afterward, so it kind of needs the web to at least limp along.
Yes, but are they on Instagram though?
I wonder if they're pulling the wall-mart model. Ruthlessly cut costs and sell at-or-below costs until your competitors go out of business, then ratchet up the prices once you have market dominance.
Half of builders went out of business in 2008 and 1/3 left the trades. We only just recently reached the level of new home starts we were hitting pre great-recession. We have a decade's worth of supply deficit and in…
Malibu, CA is very expensive to live in as well.
Hard to get much denser than NYC without massive capital expenditure.
Housing supply is inelastic due to the time it takes to permit and built. Housing demand is more elastic than you suspect. People have income on a curve, and at a certain point of price/quality will move further out and…
>I have a strong incentive to undercut them Not in a supply constrained market where your rental will be occupied either way.
True but, look up the price fixing that's been going on in big AG via AgriStats. Similar story as OP.
>Dynamic price control of rents How many economics studies, from all schools of economic thought, across 100 years of research need to prove that price controls don't work before people start accepting that fact?
I don't think this is a matter of good or evil, simply a matter of business strategy. If LLMs end up being the platform of the future, Zuck doesn't want OpenAI/Microsoft to be able to monopolize it.
You seem to have missed an absolutely critical element of what drives human behavior. We call it "incentive".
Meta just keeps releasing their models as open-source, so that whole line of thinking breaks down quickly.
> I know people in your position who have ~$200k cash comp in addition to meaningful equity. That's great, so long as its taken within the context of "200k is way more than the average US engineer makes without any…
It's a Ponzi scheme for VC and other investors. Founders just get greased palms along the way if they're successful.
I don't think you fully understand the context in which this was written, but you probably should before passing so much judgement.
These don't seem like the brightest bulbs.
Implying that these people quite because they realized they weren't needed (no need for safety if AI isn't coming) rather than what seems like the common perspective being that safety initiatives always lost out over…
Kinda weird to expect a for-profit company to "care" about a technology outside of it making them more money TBH.
