Everyone who’s someone has moved to Twitter (or bluesky), even PG does not comment here like he used to.

Reddit is dead, the investors know this, their only income source is selling data to AI companies, and discord ate the “build your own community” lunch.

Talk with someone from a lab and they’ll tell you weighing Reddit data too highly results in more “hallucinations” so even their product is bad..

All the high signal commenters left Reddit, and they’re leaving here slowly too.

Are you versed in the history of corporations and US government during WW2?

You’ve let your worldview get so small your counterpart is convinced Biden funded the Covid pandemic to steal the 2020 election. He’s got all the proof, as I’m sure you do too. Take a breather for a few months.

Aveeno hand lotion recently shrunk. They labeled the new bottle “new design” and changed the font and spacing. It’s looks so similar in size it fooled me.. but they reduced the amount of lotion you get.

I imagine the CEO signing off on the changes - impressed with the designers, such impressive CAD tooling Baumol would shed a tear.

Not sure most of money is from VCs.

RAM prices take down another.

the inflow to the US is historically low, and this increase of US to EU immigrants is a very good thing imo - the US should be more US, the EU more EU, China more China etc etc.

you have to control for the stress, lack of sleep etc.

do partners who purchase a puppy also have lower T in the following months if they are primary caregivers?

I wouldn’t trust these sourced studies - smells exactly like replication crisis findings.

Malcom Gladwell meticulously sourced the researchers when he was writing his books. He got everything right. It was all the researchers who lied.

This is weak logic - you know darn well how difficult and costly the battle of the pacific would have been on both sides without the Nukes.

Iran is disliked by all their Arab neighbors besides Qatar.

Is NK really a success? Are they doing well? You plan to hedge long run the world needs another poorly developed pariah state with 90 million people doing suboptimal?

Iranian leadership was fine btw dying for Martyrdom. So let’s give a strongly theological government happy with Martyrdom a nuke. Because they won’t care about the consequences.

You might know technology but you are clueless about the world. Every Iranian not in Iran hates Iran.

they were making a nuke, plenty of details there - and no one wants another NK situation in the world.

Btw, Iran with conventional missiles struck its Arab neighbors.

After Trump leaves office the next President will still hate Iran irregardless of political party.

Seeing the operational capability of Mossad in Iran means if desired, one should assume the US and China are equally capable.

The US didn’t make a space force to please the ego, it was likely to occur eventually. They aren’t spending all their time wargaming a moon invasion lol

Logistically, hacking tons of different model routers is not feasible. It would be more useful to yank the power grid.. which can be accomplished with missiles or software.

I cannot believe you went to the UK. what? You’re smart and went.. I don’t think anyone on that island has made 1 good decision in 50 years.

Thatcher: bad Invasion of Iraq: bad Brexit: bad Human Challenge Trials: good Free Speech: bad Too many immigrants: bad Revolving cascade of PMs who can’t get anything done: bad

Listing out a few - I guess I appreciate the Covid stuff. Hmm. still on the whole, I would be in the green longterm shorting everything about the UK.

The most interesting cultural export is Bonnie Blue (sign of decline).

They seem to be buying a nice house/condo in a good area and having kids.

Investment wise they are doing well.

They often own multiple homes.

They are not “smart” if they think a civil war will go down.. that’s poorly read people imo, sentiment pushed by the group that lost elections. And sooo context unaware. Could these people name any politics outside the US? Nope. Clueless, which is why they lost the election.

Some very smart friends are making investments in SA irt building factories.

Overtime, if everyone who robs gas stations ends up dead and shot, people will significantly stop robbing gas stations.

The attendant does not want smoke… but if circle K can hire top talent to “eliminate”?

How cool would a team of 12 guys charged with hurting the hacking firm be? Awesome job. And if successful you’d have a cool story. White hat but you don’t need to work for the NSA.

If war breaks out you better bet a bunch of equipment will turn off.

Numerous papers showing the ability to easily map indoors areas with WiFi (including occupancy) it’s a liability.

There will be excuses “tariffs” etc but I heard a few have gotten calls from three letter agencies coyly telling you to improve your systems.

It’s a chance to refresh the product line! (of course at the worst time when mem prices are bleed you dry high)

Directionally the UK gov has arrested more people for speech crimes than the Soviets..

Anything they pass or even look excited for is a negative signal. These people seem inept on every front, and I can’t even generously find something clever about them.

Iraq, Brexit, and Speech Laws.

If a Brit told me the sky was blue, I’d double check myself.

What CC costs internally is not public. How efficient it is, is not public.

…You could take efficiency improvement rates from previous models releases (from x -> y) and assume; they have already made “improvements” internally. This is likely closer to what their real costs are.

I've looked into this for work and no way. You must unfactor the European models getting subsidized by the current US model.

Some very smart people have looked at fixing the system, and there's no golden goose (except ozempic maybe). We'll need pharmacological breakthroughs.

Also, regrettably - A LOT of medical care is unnecessary but we love grandma.

low, if the claims are true iran has 1000ish lbs of 60% uranium.

we shall see

really dumb. you don’t win this

California is mismanaged and you don’t need to vote Red to fix it. We can do better as Blue State. Wake up. We’re losing to ourselves like an obese patient anemic to a diet.

You don’t have to destroy the state to produce these things.

With aligned talent you can make the process neutral. I’m assuming lots of ‘eco conscious’ engineers would love to implement better practices and get paid for it.

Grok got it right

Occasionally, you can read a comment and realize you can skip evaluating it and instead enjoy the sultry writing of the NYT itself.

hmm. I would say for most Americans it was Japan. Sushi did numbers.

Thailand was for sex tourism.

Singapore was cool to government/political types because Lee Kuan Yew really did pull off a miracle.

Had they invented Ice Cream in the 2020s, lawmakers of Europe would find it illegal for it's addictive properties. They'd also decree a universal milk fat percentage, perhaps even a law calling dairy farming slavery.

Anything but be competitive

No. No no no.

Big Pharma needs good data. And they have annoying FDAs/whatever-regulations-body slowing them down.

If you have a serious disease they might not mind you taking it. But if you have a serious disease plus your kidneys have already shutdown - w/e drug won’t save you. The death counts as a negative. “Let me take it anyway” well fine but it’s not some huge conspiracy.

You should share anger for all the taxpayer dollars being stolen and never spent on the 'victims' its supposedly meant to help.

Social programs have been funded, show poor results, then seem like dead ends because of fraud.

Stealing money put aside to help the less fortunate is far more heinous imo.

All the talk is nuclear.

the price of metal, raw metal, coming out of factories like aluminum, steel, titanium is high because the cost of energy is high.

I think it’s 30%-40% the cost of smelting it. Unless you can drop the price of energy and cheapen the raw material cost, the entire manufacturing industry will be uncompetitive.

Primary smelters currently run pretty efficiently but are bottlenecked by two main factors in the USA: raw energy prices and regulations. (there’s likely some modern process improvements they could add too but those won’t increase productively as greatly).

To reduce energy costs… you’ll need about double the current energy production we have today. That sounds like a lot but it’s very doable (the US has been neglecting itself for 50 years). It could with a little push from the Government catch up in 10-15 years, think lots of nuclear and solar.
