- Comment on Tesla’s Optimus faces stiff humanoid competition at Beijing robot conference 2 months ago:
The idea is that there untold trillions worth of existing infrastructure and tools that are designed to be operated by a humanoid, so the hope is that by designing it close to a human form it will be able to perform task in an environment designed for human without having to design a different robot for each task.
Basically the idea is to create a robot that is good enough at doing a lot of things instead of one that is super efficient at one thing like the ones we use in industry right now.
There are a lot of use cases, but they all assume the robots reach a certain level of precision, speed and adaptability, which we are still far from.

Just throw an arri LPL mount on the pixel 10, so I can mount my 45-132 T2.8 lens on it and call it a bump.

- Comment on How Airbnb accidentally screwed the US housing market and made $100 billion 6 months ago:
Any somewhat touristic city that didn’t implement some drastic restrictions has been fucked. In those places you can make from 2 to 10 time as much with airbnb as you can with a normal tenant so it becomes the obvious choice for a property owners. the only way to fix supply is regulation.
- Comment on Bloomberg - Apple Says No Major App Developers Accept New Outside Payments 6 months ago:
Having the legal staff and having the upper management from another country able to understand it at a conceptual level and integrate it into their decision making process is entirely different. One of my friend is a lawyer in France who specialises in helping US corporation handle their subsidiaries here. There’s not a week that passes without him being asked how to do something illegal here but legal in the US and the client being baffled and literally refusing to understand that they can’t.
The main one being firing people, from the way he talks about it, he seems to be earning half his income re-explaining to the same people over and over that no you can’t just give 2 weeks notice and fire people at will just because you need a quick expense reduction before the end of the quarter to amuse the shareholders. It just doesn’t register.

- Comment on 5.25-inch floppy disks expected to help run San Francisco trains until 2030 7 months ago:
I think that underestimates the difference between handling tech that need to keep people alive and restoring a computer that sits in a basement and is not expected to do anything more than provide cool entertainment.
Going through testing, certification, documentation and training for a USB adapter would cost millions, even if the piece was available off the shelf for 50 bucks.
The floppy is just the funny visible part of the issue, the core issue is that their whole stack has seen the dinosaurs roam free.
