This is cool, I'd like to try it, but how can I use it to connect peers over the public internet?

I will definitely not be signing up on GCP because of this.

I can't help but feel like someone with Karpathy's experience and financial resources would start their own company if they had real creativity and vision.

I recognize the value of the statute of limitations, but it is a technicality, and unfortunately, the central legal questions of this case were not addressed.

Ending a trial over a bureaucratic technicality is not good justice.

For the past decade or longer, top PhD programs in the US have systematically favored foreign applicants over Americans, particularly American men. It's high time for that to end.

Bell Labs was primarily funded by AT&T, a private company. Like I said, an environment with low taxes and real freedom is the source of prosperity, creativity, and innovation.

All the key people in CS, EE, and Physics needed to invent transistors where in America at the time.

Why? Mostly because America has true individual freedom and low taxes, unlike Europe.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what tools are used. Is that output good? Do people find it useful? Consider nothing else.

Bicycles and automobiles should not share the same roads at all.

The introduction of self-driving technology at scale will inevitably result in a few accidents no matter how many sensors are used. It's the same with every new technology deployed in high-risk situations, including motor vehicles themselves. Even malfunctioning airbags have caused fatalities. The important thing is to identify the issue early so the company can address it before more people get hurt, which the ODI in this case is thankfully doing.

Do people actually take papers in "management science" seriously?

Thanks for the info. Tricky situation because we have a kid who has dual citizenship, and we are not in the US, but want to move back.

I just want Zig with classes, Zig++. :(

Can a US citizen with a foreign spouse bring the spouse to the US on a tourist VISA and adjust status? What if they already filed the i-130 with consular processing?

Thanks for the link. This line in particular is concerning.

"This identified vulnerability could lead in the worst case scenario to an uncommanded elevator movement that may result in exceeding the aircraft structural capability."

I totally get it Yann LeCun and FAIR want to focus on next gen research, but they seem almost proud of their distance from product development at Meta. Isn't that a convenient way to avoid accountability? Meta has published a ton of great work, but appears to be losing economically in AI. It's understandable that the executive team wants change.

This article is a classic example of bogus and misleading statistical analysis published by a leftist academic.

Median disposable income is a key statistic describing the distribution of wealth… half the population makes more and half makes less, so it tells you the central tendency, that is, how the middle class is doing.

By that logic it’d be okay to have everyone making the minimum wage if it was high enough. Do you realize what a communist distopia that would be?

Look at this table

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per...

The USA has the highest median disposable income (purchasing power) per household.

How could you possibly believe that capitalism is making Americans and other capitalist countries worse off?

There’s a reason practically everyone wants to move to those places!

This paper seems based on the premise that inequality is bad, which is completely false. Inequality is absolutely necessary so that resources go to where they are used most effectively. This maximizes overall wealth/value creation, which is better for everyone, even if it is unequally shared. USA has highest median income in the world by a large margin for this very reason.

Bullshit. All the big VC firms in the USA are funded by private investors (rich people). They fund risky tech startups because big, fast gains are possible and the marginal capital gains tax rate is 20%. In the UK it's 39%! But 24% for residential property, hence the focus on real-estate that you mention.

Tax less, and prosperity follows!

Amen, I should frame this on my wall.

Wow it’s so refreshing to know that other people can see this.

There is simply not enough private capital investment in Europe. The public money is inevitably passed through academic hands or other public sector bureaucrats. And it is simply an ineffective way to allocate capital. The money should be returned to private hands where it belongs and those individuals should be the ones to decide how to invest their own capital.

Why do so few Europeans get this? It’s like they just can’t stand the idea of a wealthy person investing their own money.

Great answers! Couldn’t agree more.

The academic establishment has done a pretty good job of excluding and discrediting anyone without a PhD from actively participating in research.

Nice explanation of zig's dereferencing operator. Thanks!

Something tells me wheel survive with a smaller budget for social science studies.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Poor people have the same existential thoughts too. At least he has the freedom to choose what he wants to do and not to be beholden to anyone, which is the whole damn point of being rich. No one ever claimed wealth solves all of life’s problems. Anyway, his lack of grounding is most likely from lack of a family.
