>but if being profitable means charging more than Uber/Lyft and having slower trips on average than a human

thats just a function of the numbers of cars on the road

I think you're mixing epistemic theories and social harmony. On the epistemic side, there are definitely ideologues who rely on really broad models of reality that overrule low level facts, like Lysenkoism, and others who fixate on low level facts and miss patterns. But most people don't really have a epistemic foundation at all, and just passively absorb "facts" socially without seriously considering their truthiness. All of this is kind of orthogonal to how you express yourself though; ideologues can be just as disagreeable in my experience.

I don't think its sarcastic at all. I fully expect 100gb for triple a games now.

There's a lot of coping here. These YC startups only hire a few applicants. If they have hundred of applications (which is low) then the interview rate will likely be less than 5%.

Can someone explain why there arent more multicellular bacteria?

That's the nature of the job, we're not growing food to feed people. We tinker with with code in the hope that it helps someone else and sometimes it doesn't.

Another way to frame this is to not get too attached to your code. Tmrw it could be the cornerstone to a new line of business or it can be burned in the dumpster.

Wow the inner bay area is parch dry

> Altman proposed to the Biden administration the construction of multiple five-gigawatt data centers, which would each consume as much electricity as New York City.

If this is what it takes to bring nuclear back, maybe it's worth it.

How can that happen, can you share details?

Half of the words in the Korean blurb are just romanizations. Even build is just bil-deu

> One of the hallmarks of countries suffering hyperinflation/other monetary disasters is lack of a central bank because the legislatures fail to wield the power responsibly. It is another check and balance, and virtually ever economically stable country has one.

The original point of the Fed was to be a common reserve for banks which makes complete sense. Somewhere along the way, we told the fed to manipulate credit to fix inflation and unemployment and now we have a board that is virtually unfirable that can basically tax (inflate) you at any time and the theres nothing that the president nor congress can do.

You mean the people we elect to create policies?

Ur obviously twisting my words, I'm colloquially referring to our republic by calling it a democracy, if I was for direct democracy, I wouldn't support congress.

Whether we have independent agencies is completely orthogonal to whether we are a republic or not. Even if all of these agencies were under the executive, we would still be a republic. And no, I don't support the independent nature of these agencies. The president and/or congress should be able to control these agencies directly. Knocking down the chevron deference is step 1 to eliminating statutory power.

> Should the Congress also make play-by-play battle calls in war?

No thats obviously the executive?

> Again, Argentina. Electeds always want rates lower and spending higher. (Rich people who can store their wealth offshore, even moreso.)

Yes this is how democracy works, if people are dumb, then things go bad. The point of democracy is that you have to take a leap of faith and hope people make good decisions. If you don't like this, we can just revert to totalitarianism. You might think I'm saying this tongue in cheek but I'm not, there's a real argument that modernity is too complex for democracy.

I don't understand your point, the Fed is a creature of congress and its members are selected by both the legislative and the executive, but we cede enormous power by giving board members giant terms which gives them defacto independence which is insane since they have the power to make me default on my mortgage tmrw. Monetary policy is policy and all policy should go thru congress. If congress is being useless, vote them out.

Congress already manages the budget, another bomb, but year after year, they get over themselves and raise the debt ceiling, so yes I think they can handle approving changes to the amount of credit in America.

I think if we need the big bad lever, it should at least require congressional approval.

No you don't get it, its totally cool to let the government unilaterally expand and contract the money supply by trillions of dollars with a single lever.

Except in downtown SF there are dozens of giant empty lots, some are just abandoned, some are flat lots used for 6hrs a week for event parking.

Obviously its a gradient, but we can agree that "dedicate time and money" is on the action side and "typing online" being superfluous signaling. And yes, if you knew me in real life, you probably shouldn't weight my hacker news comments over what I spend time and money on.

Signaling is bad because anyone can signal anything they want. Everyone should be judging either other based on actions not superfluous signals. And yes, maybe you should think twice if you see a swastika tatoo on someone, people change and are multi dimensional.

Having the principle of "words become bad because bad people use them" is stupid because you cede power to bad people. But really, its not a principle at all, its just a dumb cultural signaling, ie. "I'm not like those uneducated hicks".

There are often product limitations

Multi arm bandits are fine but their limited to tests where its ok to switch users between arms frequently and tests that have more power

I always thought large buildings have more windows because the inner spaces would otherwise get 0 natural light.

Can't you just leave it outside to ferment, then bring it into the fridge to halt?

You are confusing policies and qualifications, its on the engineers to decide the qualifications and HR to run policies on sourcing.

That's why its weighed and not absolute
