This is absolutely mindblowing. I understand that these LLMs are essentially "really smart autocomplete", but it's crazy to me how could Bing/Sydney could actually go this far to seemingly express emotions and desires.…
The way this is phrased makes it seem like this "treadmill" is a bad thing. I acknowledge that this is bad for an individual, but I actually think this is overall good for humanity and is a major reason why we've…
Despite the name, it's probably less about mirroring college applications and more about competing for top undergrad/grad students who would otherwise be recruiting for companies like FB, Google, Bain, etc. When I was…
A startup/lifestyle company I used to work for several years ago aggregates the GIS data of these superfund sites (and other environmental points of interest) and makes it available at [1]. The site is pretty old and…
Thanks for linking this. I had a pretty tough time getting quotes on a custom PCB a few months ago. If I'd had this article ahead of time, everything would have made quite a bit more sense!
I appreciate the pun. ;-) Anyway, I think self censorship is an expected behavior in a peaceful society. For example: you don't bring up recently deceased significant others, comment on awkward physical characteristics…
Great information here. This is well understood on my end. I just wanted to make a quick point because the topic was on food consumption and I don't think many people ever truly connect the dots between carbon atoms in…
Yes, but surface-level biology is pretty much carbon neutral. All of the carbon you exhale to the atmosphere comes from the food you eat, which gets its carbon from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. Obviously there are…
Interesting information! I really like the analysis of video content, particularly the "founder presence" info. However, I think that the headline results that isolate video cost when looking at raise results is a bit…
Maybe 30% of graduates of top 30 universities. There are lots of CS grads from lower ranked schools that are definitely not getting fought over by the likes of Google/FB/Amazon...
I'd be interested in seeing how a "single payer" approach to college financing would work. High level - The government pours many billions of dollars into colleges and universities every year, but because the money is…
Totally agree in principle, but it does seem like just "getting into" the food delivery business is a humorously quick way to get a $X00M valuation in the private markets.
The trouble is you can't really traverse the waterline because there are lots of cliffs on either side of the beach - hence the importance of this access road.
You're right, but it would still be better to realize a small loss early in the crash and and buy back in at the bottom than just ride the whole thing out. Of course, that kind of timing is pretty much impossible so…
Yes, in some parts of NYC (Manhattan, cool parts of Brooklyn) prices are indeed very high, but there are plenty of parts of NYC where you can find fairly affordable housing while still being in public transit range of…
You're not wrong re: best experience, but your $1000 of GPU + $500 screen puts you in like the top 1% of gamers. Most ppl are gaming on cheap rigs, laptops, etc. It's possible that FB/Oculus are trying to make something…
Doing stuff like this helps Google perpetuate their reputation as a company that's doing "cool things that matter" despite the fact that, financially, they're just a big internet ads company. By doing these types of…
If the founders goals are to achieve a satisfying outcome ("financial security"), they would have to achieve a 2.5x bigger exit under scenario 2 than scenario 1. Andrew's new system retains scenario 1's "ease" of…
Sure, it's not impossible or nobody would be doing it, but it's still more expensive (a high deductible is still a "cost") and comes with a lower chance of success. Obviously that's going to shift trends in a more…
I have another suggestion for the decline in startup rates: health care and college expenses. The historically "prime" years for entrepreneurship are in one's late 30's to early 50's, years when one typically has a…
A quick gander at his Linkedin shows about 2 decades of management experience. Either way, CEO's don't usually voluntarily step down at all unless they're retiring, so of course a statement like this would be unusual.…
Slightly unrelated, but at least in the US "Organic" does in fact have a specific meaning with real standards that require USDA certification before a product can claim the term [1]. You may be thinking about "All…
Satya Nadella comes to mind. He got an EMBA from Chicago Booth, class of 1997.
You're not crazy, lots of people agree with you. Just please don't be like so many SF residents and complain that all the people "who made SF what it is" are being replaced by tech hipsters making 6 figs, while…
The problem is that there's always "something" more that could be done to prevent these types of incidents, but eventually the costs of additional preventative measures will outweigh the reduction in risk they provide,…
