Reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave

So I don't think it'a new thing, but maybe it's getting worse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave

HN is where nerds come to complain with other nerds

No I said “ Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been “

The replier then went off on one about the truck actually being a flop. I already conceded it had been. The main point was that their battery program probably hasn’t been a flop

Electrek’s ‘reporting’ has proven so one-sided that I take all their stories with a bucket of salt. Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been. Perhaps they’re rejigging suppliers and pausing whilst they get ready to ramp up cyber cab production lines

Oh they'll be thinking way beyond his reign!

I'm not entirely sure it will ever see the light of day tbh

The amount of money sloshing around in these acquisitions makes you wonder what they're really for

The 2nd and 3rd order effects of any wars e.g with Afghanistan might be causing some late nights in Langley

I suggest you read the article it talks about the viability of that very point

But you’re forgetting the Jonny Ive hardware device that totally isn’t like that laughable pin badge thing from Humane

/s

Yeah but it's missing the credentials

Hey this report was done by McKinsey and they hire from Harvard and Stanford, and hear how well they speak and look how soft their hair is, the report must be good!

True, they are called the "Hidden Client", any good consultant will be able to essentially do intelligence gathering on who that is and what they want, because it will be one exec

As someone who did an MBA and was groomed to be a Consultant and then repented (now a software engineer) you have to understand that the customer of a consultancy project is an exec.

1. The exec has been charged with exploring a new product space, a potential M&A deal, more vertical integration etc etc

2. The exec needs a gauge on the "size of the prize", is this thing worth doing? roughly how will it be done? how long etc.

3. The exec probably already has a rough idea or gut feeling about one such option

4. The consultants produce something that usually supports the gut feeling, other times it will suggest alternatives and provide some facts and figures to support

Lets take a step back and realise how incredible this is (I'm sure there are plenty of other `ackshually` comments)

Can it do Will Smith eating spaghetti? (I can't get access in UK)

This is my main concern too.

The next question is what is the cost and difficulty of creating the foundations necessary to handle the worst wind you can expect?

Reminds me of the early attempts at hand categorising knowledge for AI

Same. It seems the coding part of my brain and the communicating are mutually exclusive

I wonder if it’s related to the phenomena of some people having a ‘narrator’ in their head or, like me, there’s no voice and it takes effort to convert abstract thoughts to sentences

"What the ancient Romans wore may not be among the most pressing questions facing archaeologists, but it is one that attracts interest among the general public."

Such a snobby comment!

Oh you mean like Ukraine and Russia? Might doesn’t equal right, but it certainly makes those who are wrong from even thinking of using force.

Why this needs explaining to presumably educated adults is kind of terrifying in itself

Do you think nuclear weapons avoided ww3?

Exactly, people have a "non-event bias" they can't fathom thing that didn't happen because of the preceeding things that had to happen to prevent it!

But you're not arguing against the implied alternative, ww3

I said I was experienced with firearms, not handguns. At the time I had extensive experience with assault rifles, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, bolt action rifles etc all of which had a safety.

Before the sig the British Army used the browning 9mm which also had a safety

Sounds pretty smart to me. The best way to beat your enemy is to dissuade them from even trying

I carried a Sig in Afghanistan and whilst I was very experienced with firearms, the no manual safety thing gave me major heebie geebies

Would "bought" be better then? implies slavery!

Exactly. The thing I always have to remind myself: issued loans aren't liabilities for companies, they're assets. Assets need a return!

People seem to be overlooking this: “ Altman doesn’t have equity in io, OpenAI said. “

What do people want?

I thought of this too. Iirc it was bigger problem because surging spikes in power and cooling were harder and more costly to account for.

I'm not au fait with network data centres though, how similar are they in terms of their demands?

Couldn’t be more wrong
