Google has not changed. Following two facts are like tautologies by now.

1. Their AI efforts are very fundamental research oriented. They are really good at it.

2. Their productization sucks. The end products gets little attention compared to competition. It can be canceled at any time. You should never build anything around Google only APIs, AI or not.

Oracle LFCF (ttm): -24.54B

Levered free cash flow (LFCF) is the cash remaining after a company has paid its debts and operational costs. Oracle has 167.43B debt. $43 billion in last fiscal year.

Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon will be fine if AI bubble bursts. Oracle will be among first to go down in flames after OpenAI.

Alternatives exist, but little demand outside hyperscalers and special uses.

Neocloud customers just want plug-and-play CUDA. It works, it's tested, it adapts faster, and has known performance. Alternatives give no significant benefits.

Things can change, but they are not changing now.

ICU's core rule-based transliterator engine based implementations have 16 rewrite limit per input code point. This covers basically all widely used systems in use.

Injecting new rule is into Uinicode transliterator is remote possiblility, but even if that happens, it does very little.

Tesla stock price is below Nov 2021 - 5 years of going sideways.

Tesla revenue is roughly the same as Jun 2023 - 3 years of going sideways.

Chinese are trashing Tesla in EV's, batteries, solar panels, energy, robots and self-driving. Tesla looks like like Chinese roadkill. Pioneer of technology that transfers into China where they make it scale.

Tautologies are useful to detect errors in reasoning, but not necessarily in actual policy.

The problem with tautologies is that usually the context where they are useful is very small.

As an example, lets use Equation of Exchange and Cambridge Equation. Defining "Money" (M in the equation) has become nearly impossible when there are so many liquid assets and instruments that act money like. Central banks can't reliably measure or control a single "quantity of money" in a way that reliably links to GDP. And because it's not causal model, just an equation, it does not explain anything interesting. All interesting questions are causal.

This is only reflects their market share for now. The EU legally forbids member states from making a smartphone mandatory to access public services. The EU explicitly anticipated the danger of relying entirely on the iOS and Android and designed the EUDI Wallet framework to allow for other physical form factors. For example;

1. Smart Cards (for example The Current National ID)

2. Standalone Hardware Tokens & USB Keys

I mean Russians Jews are not integrating. Just because you are a Jew does not mean that you share the values and culture of other Jews. Just like ethnic Russians culture as been molded by Stalinism and communism, so has Russian Jewish culture. By large they have the same backward values and are bringing them to Israel (this already shows in politics and other things).

I looked into it "The gap was approximately 10% to the detriment of the Arab students in their first year of study, but decreased from year to year. This gap was found to stem primarily from language difficulties."

Haredi Jews and Russians who refuse to integrate are probably also big thing.

Scientific American has been acquired by LabX Media Group, which holds Discover Magazine, IFLScience, and a number of other science publications. They have started out by firing writers and editors.

IQ as measured correlates positively with all talents.

There is moderate correlation with arts, sports and athletic talents (weak for basic athleticism, moderate to strong for elite levels.) With music and writing the correlation is even better, from moderate to strong. High IQ increases the ability for inner expression, or expression of any kind.

People seem to forget that IQ is a factor as in factor analysis. It does not measure a "thing". It measures variability among observed, correlated variables.

Cohen's d=-0.132 is considered a very small effect size. In other words: The effect is statistically reliable, significant, and disagreements between studies are very low, but not that big.

The approximately 2-point decline in IQ in adolescent-onset frequent cannabis users is not to be clinically significant

In a population level this might be part of the explanation, but we would have to know the correlation between prevalence of use of cannabis and IQ decline in the population. In developed nations there is trend where IQ drops 0.2 points per year (2-points per decade) since mid 1990s. In developing countries IQ increases 3-points per decade as Flynn-Effect still works there.

Transistor density in units of MTr/mm. (Million Transistors per square mm) is also used. The formula is

MTr/mm = 0.6×(NAND2 Tr Count)/(NAND2 Cell Area) + 0.4×(Scan Flip Flop Tr Count)/(Scan Flip Flop Cell Area)

Unlike marketing terms, "nm density" is actually useful measure.

It describes density measure where you can compare it to planar transistors from the 28-nanometer (28 nm) node around 2010 to 2011 and before. A "0.7 nm" node has equivalent transistor density as if we could have shrunk standard flat transistor node down to 0.7 nanometers.
