tokai2··on Why Does Your Company Deserve More Money?
The top advice from all startups that ‘survived’ seems to be, ‘don’t hire, be lean’, when almost all of them did hire and then lay off employees to get over bad times. In my view ‘not hiring good people’ during rosy times is an impossible thing to do.

Things like these are self evident only in retrospect.

Here’s a simple analogy.

Human: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 Machine: 2 + 2 = 4

The machine ‘knows’ the result must be exactly 4. The machine is just finding new ways to arrive at a result that it already knows to be true. But i want the machine to arrive at a result that is hitherto unknown. That for me is AI.

I’m just speculating. Theoretically if you have vacuum sealed CPU, it could work. This brings other problems. How would you remove heat released by the chips in vacuum if there is no airflow.
