Apples app store is way worse than the google play store. i was shocked at how bad the app store is with shitty ads and promoted content over organic search results

Taste is arguably the number one requirement to be a great artist. You can't make great art if you don't have great taste in inspration, collaborators, mentors, and finally output

Over/under on what year it will actually ship to customers? If they are targeting late 2026 for the R2,then my most optimistic huess is late 2028 for small volumes of the R3, to ramp up through 2029. Seems almost silly to announce it this early.

My guess is they'll need an additional $4-6 billion to make it to then, even if they aggressivle cut costs and increase margins

There are way too many computer scientists coming out of the college pipeline, it'll be very easy for those engineers to pivot to the semiconductor field. Additionally, on the manufacturing side, semiconductors are in principle pretty similar to biotech and biologics pharma maufacturing (many discrete unit operation skids, cleanroom environment, lots of documentation, etc) and i'm seeing lots of automation and manufacturing companies pivoting to semi-conductors.

it won't be 100% efficient, but where the money goes, the talent will follow pretty quickly.

Not a doctor, but from what I have seen, there is a healthy amount of spiking from eating normal foods, but our modern diets are so sugar and carb heavy that the glucose spikes are way outside the range that our bodies evolved to handle. Hunter gatherers would maybe eat some berries here (much smaller and less sweet than modern berries) and there. The modern human eating pizza, tons of bread, ice cream, soda, etc. creates such massive glucose spikes that they are unhealthy and unsustainable for the pancreas to handle for 60+ years.

Again, not a doctor and not sure if this is accurate, but this is my very limited understanding

This is like listening to beethoven's 9th symphony and saying "i dont understand this, this barely sounds like music". It's hard to actually address the comment seriously. It's like saying the mona lisa is barely art, or that the '68 corvette is barely a car. Unless the OP eaborates, you have to assume he's rage-baiting or trolling.

it's most likely someone baiting reactions on the internet by posting rage-bait disguised as naivety

why would you want to curse your next generation with inherited wealth? Wouldn't you rather they learn how to work hard from you and to earn their living on their own?

thought experiment: How many daily deaths would we have to reach in order for you to personally support Prohibition?

we're only starting to see the effects of long term 0% interest rates. There's so much that needs to die and make way for lean new companies. Most tech industries are just overloaded with useless departments and teams that impede on progress and stifle creative/innovation. We need a hard recession to thin the proverbial forest of old diseased trees and make room for new trees.

No, I think they actually are proud of this. It's like a creative exercise.

It's the equivalent of getting DOOM to run on stuff that barely counts as a computer. It's an exercise of bending the law as much as logically possible without being outright illegal.

We do. Rivian(illinois), Fiskar (Los angeles), VINFast (vietnam), 20 chinese brands, Polestar (china), Lucid (saudi arabia), Canoo, Rimac (balkans).

When was the last time a new car company was started, pre-EV?

wow, i want free money too. thanks for your insightful comment

Why are people cancelling their netflix subscriptions if they are still making a salary?

"Squeeze, Rabban. Squeeze hard."

* Basically everything FromSoft has put out - roll, roll, slice, roll, roll, slice

* Breath of the Wild - boring temples, lifeless empty world

* Escape from Tarkov - unplayably buggy, awful servers, generic assets and models

* The Witcher 3 - good, but generic third person adventure/exploration

* As someone else pointed out, Baldurs Gate 3 - incredibly generic fantasy universe and fantasy trope story

* Skyrim - incredibly generic fantasy universe and fantasy trope story

* Minecraft - actually innovative, creative, and unique game. What LEGO bricks were to kids in the 80s and 90s, minecraft is to the 2010s and 2020s

* Dwarf Fortress - cool indie game

* Path of Exile - a decent game in a dead genre. bad story/art style. only noteworthy thing is the gameplay is tight, but so was Diablo

There's some benefits, but also massive, massive society destroying downsides. In retrospect, the downsides of social media like addiction, social isolation, and political misinformation, radicalization were hand waved away. We were told "THINK OF THE UPSIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THINK OF THE CONNECTIONS" and now think of how isolated and depressed and addicted everyone is now. The exact same thing will happen with AI and VR.

Yep, it's sad to see that capitalism can't let perfected things stay perfect, and instead has to squeeze more and more out. this inevitably leads to decline and increased prices. Enshittification is just the modern shape of this, as the capitalist cycle of prototype -> first generation product -> perfected product -> enshitified product is just much quicker when the only product is software. See facebook, spotify, netflix, etc.

yet they refuse to build hybrids in large numbers. RAV4 primes and Prius primes are insanely difficult to get at or near MSRP. Toyota is saying that Hybrids make the most sense, but still use hybrid as an upsell for a higher trim, and thus only makes a fraction of their cars as hybrids. If >50% of their vehicles were hybrids, i'd be ecstatic and would agree with them, but currently it's just whataboutism and misdirection

Just a little note, you can totally write things on notes in the physical world and tape them around your room. It's even quite pleasant to write on paper or chalkboard and to cross items off as they are completed.

how much would it cost you to raise a pig, care for it, slaughter it, butcher its meat, smoke it, package it, and transport some bacon?

Very shortminded and proto-humancentric thinking.

This is all done via AI and automated factories that terraform planets into Von Neumann manufacturing hubs, which then each send millions/billions of Von Neumann's out into the galaxy, each Von Neumann probe containing the tech/machinery to terraform another planet into another Dyson Sphere manufacturing hub. If you're really sentimental about humanity, you can include human DNA on the von neumann probess, and while the von neumann probe is terraforming a new planet, it can also grow humans in vitro.

Why would we (or our AI overlords) want to spread through the galaxy like this? Why does cancer spread through it's host? Why did europeans colonize the entire earth? Life is a virus that spreads without limit.

"I don't see how you could rationally justify spending this stupefying amount of resources on sending people into the void where, even if all goes well, you can barely talk to them, have no trade and no social contact with them at all."

Do you not understand why people invested in early merchant ships in like the 1500s? You spend a lot on a ship, send the ship to trade, and they come back with spice, that you sell at a profit, buy more ships, rinse and repeat. Same here: spend a couple quadrillion dollars, send off some von neumann probes, wait 50 million years, and then see if you've colonized a small cluster of the galaxy, or if your von neumann probe fleet was destroyed by a gamma ray burst or an uncharted supermassive black hole.

Just look at how much was wiped away by inflation during covid. Every year 3-4% of the national debt simply disappears due to inflation. When inflation is higher, even more disappears.

you realize this whole thing was caused by a human driver hit and run, right? You have humans to fear. The less human drivers there are the safer you are

Also keep in mind that the "expected" are not the actual expected, but rather "publicly expected numbers that are freely given out and therefore useless". Investment firms have private expected numbers that are far more accurate, the publicly given out ones are designed to manipulate retail investors.

they 100% do. what company or government agency have you ever seen running on desktops that isnt the DMV?

You just described Teams, Slack, Skype, and Zoom. all ubiquitous and industry standard.

It already exists, it's called Baldur's Gate 3

"I make AAA video games, my industry does not add anything to society."

How can you say that with a straight face? You literally create art for the enjoyment and pleasure of people, literally the point of life after food, shelter, exercise and employment needs have been fulfilled.

tens of millions of us work in pharma, constructions, aviation, infrastructure, logistics, healthcare, transportation and contribute to society. Just because half of SF is just siphoning VC money doesn't mean most of society isnt
