3327··on AI cloud startup TensorWave bets AMD can beat Nvidia
So why should VC back this when they can make the same bet outright by buying AMD stock other than say a leveraged bet?
3327··on DARPA Moves Forward on X-65: Plane with no moving control surfaces
HN has become arm chair reddit except most people are mid level engineers instead of gamers
3327··on Sam Altman’s Worldcoin Crypto Project Officially Launches
Yeah its yc right. Sam has to approve
3327··on Atari asks for help finding developer of 2600 game Aquaventure
Atari needs to help itself first. What a great example of having something amazing at the right time and burning it all down. Do the research- its a crazy spiral.
3327··on The Air Force Has Been Trying to Kill the A-10 Warthog for 14 Years
I like the Army guys. Since they are the ones getting killed on the ground- they are far more inclined to go with products that just work and get the job done.

Unlike the airforce - that has a huge budget and an arsenal of all sorts of hardware from B2s to b1s to drones to f22s, b52s, list goes on.

Remind me again what happened in Afghanistan?

Apache, a10, mh6, ac130. These were the workhorses and of course reapers.

3327··on Atlantic Ocean currents weaken, signalling big weather changes: study
There are unprecedented wild fires in siberia. What are you talking about!
3327··on Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?
Honestly I cannot agree more. NBC is garbage and the olympics should be the one event in the world that is all access and all rights.

I cannot even find a video recap of the Tunisian swimmer winning.

3327··on In Karachi, hot weather is normal but 44°C feels like you’re going to die
Stop complaining about the hot weather please and focus on more pressing global issues. Karachi has had 44 C before like many other places.

In fact, mean temp of Karachi is 32 C in June - which is not Low at all.

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/pakistan/karachi/climate

and 68% percentile high temp is 35 C.

The highest temp on record for Karachi was nearly 48 C - in 1938.

For sure 44 C is not Cool - but also not worth a Guardian article for a place that has a mean temperature of 32 and many days a year above 40 C.

From a personal note - I am writing this as I sit @ 42C and I am not dying. Heck - my laptop probably does though...

3327··on Had Covid? You’ll probably make antibodies for a lifetime
Yes i am studying this and have data on covid + post covid quarterly antibody markets followed by one dose pfizer and monthly markers.

In a nutshell - covid patients have sustained antibodies, non covid with vaccine groups have faster decay from Peak concentration.

3327··on Radar data confirms: USS Omaha was surrounded by swarm of UFOs
“Wuhan lab leak” is a far more realistic & plausible story than “animal market is actual source that sits next to a gain of function lab doing unknown research on corona virus”

Many academics have been a proponent of the leak theory, whats shocking is not the press picking it up now, rather how quickly it was discarded before.

3327··on Jeff Bezos will step down as Amazon CEO on July 5th
Last night I had an idea Considering Keeping

My thoughts straight Yeah?

All the words Said and done Should remain just.

3327··on Ryanair’s statement on diversion to Minsk Airport
Yeah all the know-alot armchair HN sheep heard echo chamber echoes “pilot had no choice”.

There is always a choice, and the latest information (3 days later) show he had more of a choice than previously disclosed.

3327··on Ryanair’s statement on diversion to Minsk Airport
Well, EU skies are no longer safe.

If a journalist can be picked up, anyone can be.

Ryann air is at fault, pilot really is - he could have kept his course. It would be a game of chicken and risky. So hard to say what is right wrong here.

Most importantly, its the fact that EU is weak and Belarus did the math and concluded they would get away with it. Simple As that.

3327··on John McAfee Statement from Prison
I guess prison works!
3327··on Isotope study hints ancient Greeks used foreign fighters in key battle
I think you are going out on a limb too. Clearly you have never set foot in Greece, if you had, you would understand the logic behind the author argument.

I will save you the travel... Greeks have a very standard diet, and is also fairly uniform across Greece.

Even taking today, it probably hasn’t changed much to 2000 years ago at least for the staples.

3327··on Exclusive: Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army
Its business insider. They are a glorified clickbait outlet that so happens to have a good name.

To name a few other BS outlets that once had a good reputation:

Forbes Cnn Inc. venturebeat Mashable The list goes on...

3327··on Coinbase outages
Crypto isn’t governed by finra regulations. Its wild west, therefore wildwest tactics like front running etc are fair game.

Gg for those of you who maxed out credit cards to buy crypto

3327··on How I learned to stop worrying and love the lab-leak theory
Its astonishing “scientist” in labs are so detached from the real world and dismissive as always.

The virus wasn’t tampered with. Th lab in Wuhan is “GAIN OF FUNCTION” testing.

read it again. Gain of function means nudging viral samples so they gain functions on their own without human gene editing or modification that can easily be traced.

Why now? Why not 5 years ago? The animal markets have always been there.

Occams Razor.

3327··on Why Bad CEOs Fear Remote Work
I was about to say. Click bait title and some nonsense claim with nothing concrete to back it.

I believe back in the day the term would be “hog wash”

3327··on Netflix's “Love Is Blind” Wants Unpaid Photographer for Five Weddings
This is a bad example of unpaid work. Photography is a viewership and exposure business.

The exposure opportunity is priceless here.

3327··on California appeals court finds Amazon responsible for 3rd party sellers products
Man has store, You go buy chips, Chips is not potatoe chips, But horshit chips. Who is responsible? everyone that made you eat “shit” Is Responsible. That includes whoever made the chip, who certified it, and who sold it.

Judge Dread

3327··on Apple runs App Store with 78% profit margin, according to court testimony
Apple wouldn’t replace my shitty butterfly macbook pro keyboard.

I went to windows, not that Microsoft is any better but at least its a Pc. although it seems walled gardens are everywhere nowadays.

In short, Apple is a monopoly. Anti competitive. Market abuser.

So 75-78% basically in short - its probably up there.

Breakem up. And Google, and Facebook and Amazon.

And watch the techno, economic engine start like it did when Bell was split.

3327··on I refused to become an FBI informant, the government put me on the no fly list
He may be accomplice or a strong suspect, the agents may be patriots or not. It doesn't matter. The FBI doesn't matter, this guy's words could also be fake and very likely doesn't reflect the full extend of the backstory.

However, the line between America, and what America stands for is very thin.

Cross that line one or twice, the nation becomes what countless young men died for fighting against.

my own view, comments welcome.
