Someones gotta see what 40bn on VR looks like. turns out, it looks like shit. Thanks Zuck!

The knowledge is one thing. But the competence of execution and the will to act are difficult to line up.

Yes there should be safe guards, but after a while you're jumping at shadows.

I'm more worried about depressed kids getting on chat and being encouraged to kill themselves than terrorist attacks.

We know what a cancer algorithmic social media is yet we don't act.

I doubt there will be any real and serious opposition to this bill, but there should be.


just like Zuck.

People always end up petitioning for them to be cutdown because tree litter inevitably falls on cars. The best solution for cars is dense multistory parking.


Dense multistory parking underground.

In South Korea, you usually don't see parking lots the size of several football fields like in the U.S., even around venues that generally attract a lot of cars, even in suburban areas. Instead, there are several stories of parking lots under every large building. Above-ground space is simply too valuable to waste on parking.

Unfortunately, you can't install solar panels underground.

I sometimes forget there are parts of the world where you can go more than about a metre down without breaking out the Kango hammer.


Large parts of Seoul actually sit on very hard rock -- granite and gneiss from the Mesozoic era.

But if the only alternative to blasting the bedrock is to pay through your nose for prime real estate, blast the bedrock you will.


They have magic consultant power mode.

In government you have to deliver, most of the time the mode of delivery is boring, small, conservative, and disjointed from other government groups because large efforts of work attract big budgets, oversight and doubt.

Consultants are magic, because they come with no baggage and promise the world. They take you hostage with sunk cost fallacy and then after years they deliver something.

At the end you're so tired you think that what they did was beyond your government agency and the cycle continues.


Its exactly the same as 10 years ago and being able to google and search well for odd support bugs. Junior people think it's easy and they don't see the massive skill in framing questions and filtering.


It just needs to be described in a more concrete way to people. Such as, You know how the podcasts you listen to keep getting updated on your phone? That's RSS. Imagine if other things you liked turned up when they were new and you had a lot of control over that process.


Most non-tech people I know listen to podcasts through Spotify and some think Spotify invented them.

Looking how podcasts advertise themselves, those who do use RSS advertise "Apple Podcasts or in your favorite podcast app" here.


It's been the absolute worst thing for 10+ years that some podcasts have adverts, even their own website, but somehow fail to provide the RSS feed link anywhere - only app specific links for the biggest 2.

You also have people producing "podcasts" that only exist on youtube.


nah, open ai doesn't have a moat it has a brief window to get a lot cheaper to run or it's going to go pop when someone figure out how to do inference a lot cheaper.


At the least, all the hyperscalers should be putting money into a fund for this sort of thing.


This just in: Wolves is the new hype word for the mythical 10x employee.


Just in from 2014, when the original article referenced in the first line of this one was written, opening 'You've heard of the 10x engineer, I'm here to tell you about the Wolf'?
