> Investors want to back us but, at this scale of capital, need conventional equity and less structural bespokeness.

This seems exactly backwards. At this scale you can establish as much "bespokeness" as you want. The investors want in and will sign pretty much anything.

It reminds me of the old joke from Paul Getty:

If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

It was disconcerting to arrive home to that many news vans in front of my house.

Caveat: I formerly worked at Google.

What missing is that code being written by AI may have less of an impact than dataset that are developed or refined by AI. Consider examples like a utility function's coefficients, or the weights of a model.

As these are aggressively tuned using ML feedback, they'll influence far more systems than raw code.

“ The obvious loss is to government revenue, but the more subtle and still very real loss is the diversion of high-powered talent from what could have been gains in efficiency and productivity to focus instead on corporate reorganizations and tax evasion games.”

I’d expect very little overlap between those talent pools.

Love the idea!

This is in poor taste.

Do you have contact info for that team? The NPS app is one of the best I've ever used and I'd love to know who built it.

You’re not misinformed, but perhaps underinformed.

The hexapod both provides acceleration and rotates to use gravity to simulate continuous acceleration.

The brilliant part is that it trade between these two modes below human vestibular thresholds. So you can’t tell whether your sense of acceleration is coming from movement or orientation.

I took a flight physiology course with Larry Young who modeled the human vestibular system as a set of feedback loops with known gains. And an awesome graduate course entirely on flight simulation.

You can’t call yourself Alberta unless your a registered Alberta.

I had a similar experience trying to find a justification for a “House rule” we use when playing Catan (aka “the penny rule”).

In trying to find a reputable source, the first result was to an HN comment… that I wrote.

The folks we were playing with were not convinced.

What a strangely small world – that's my cousin!
