Ironic, Western politicians thought opening up to trade with China would lead to it adopting a Western model of government. Instead it's lead to the USA adopting the Chinese one.

You need to study history. US government is no stranger in getting stakes in businesses. Did you already forget the Great Depression?

It would be much better if we invested in meaningful things directly. So much time and effort is being put into making things AI shaped for investors.

The elephant in the room is that capital would likely be better directed if it was less concentrated.

If a million families each has a $1,000 to invest in new business, how would you envision the money to be invested collectively? what would be the process?

The document actually debunks this take:

> GenAI has been embedded in support, content creation, and analytics use cases, but few industries show the deep structural shifts associated with past general-purpose technologies such as new market leaders, disrupted business models, or measurable changes in customer behavior.

They are not seeing the structural "disruptions" that were present for previous technological shifts.

Changes over which time window? AI projects in enterprises can’t be longer than 2 years, which is practically in testing the water phase, of course there are very few projects of the disruption nature exist yet.

China has more robots per capita than the US

And the idea that China has low wages is outdated. Companies like Apple don't use China for its low wages, countries like Vietnam have lower wages. China's strength lies in its manufacturing expertise

Manufacturing expertise that have been transferred from the West over the last 40 years. Knowledge and expertise are fluid, they can go both way, they can be transferred to other countries as well, India, Vietnam, etc. The world doesn’t stand still.

No saying negative things about the next Dot com bubble! I still have shares to cash out and bags to move onto the general public.

Every hype of the dotcom bubble has been proven right. Only late. If that will be the case with AI it will be revolutionary

> We can literally define an airplane parametrically in a configuration file and press a button. In a matter of minutes we have a complete quick-and-dirty analysis of how the whole aircraft performs—as mkBoom flies the aircraft through a full simulated mission (takeoff, climbout, acceleration, cruise, descent, landing). Overnight, mkBoom can run higher-fidelity simulations for a more exact understanding of performance.

Awesome stuff! Allows large scale exploration across all dimensions of plane design to jointly optimize all components and their interactions.

Boom’s potential customers wouldn’t be able to put more seats on their planes even if they want to. I suppose the targeted performance affords very little margin for customization

Boom XB-1 did 750 mph air speed. If I've got an 8 hour flight at 561 mph in an A380 that's a reduction to 5.984 hours when I move to the Boom XB-1. Who cares about saving 1.1 hours on a transatlantic flight. There is a reason why Concorde's cruise speed was 1,341 mph.

So when Boom makes a commercial airliner that hits 1000+ mph with the same availability and turnaround time as a typical passenger plane then I'll pay attention. Until then, it's for rich people who can buy their own plane.

XB-1 is only the demonstrator. They aim to produce commercial airline that can cruise at 1.7 Mach. NYC to London in 3.30h instead of 6h.

Rich people can already buy private jet that is much more comfortable than supersonic one.

signatoremo commented on Atlassian terminates 150 staff   cyberdaily.au/digital-tra... · Posted by u/speckx

Needing to cut 150 people suggests catastrophic mismanagement. I get that workloads change, orgs pivot, business has to do business shit, but if you've missed your headcount requirement for whatever work you needed to do by a HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE!? What even.

Management and leadership is practically a lost art these days, so many organizations are just filled with managers who haven't the first fucking idea how to actually manage people.

All that said to be like: "Well how SHOULD we correctly fire 150 people?" I dunno, to me that's like saying how do I hit a tree with my car in such a way as to make sure I'm not paralyzed? Like so much has already gone wrong to bring you to where this is a pertinent question that I don't think there's really a right answer at this point, there's just gradations of bad.

“catastrophic mismanagement”, “a HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE?”. What is it with all the hyperbole on HN?

Atlassian grew from 3,600 people in 2019 to 12.100 in 2024. Triple in 5 years. Some adjustments are expected. Sucks to lose your job, but you might not have it in the first place.

That would imply that OpenAI has less competition to fear than Nvidia, which I’m doubtful is the case.

That doesn’t imply anything. Each investor has their own take on risk. They’d invest if they think the risks are worth it.

My thought was that a version of YouTube that:

1. Had no opaque algorithmic feeds

2. No comment sections

3. Have a "show me more content like this" button, but again, no auto algorithmic feeds

4. Filter out age inappropriate content.

would be great for teenagers. I think the problem for YouTube is that it would be great for everyone else, too, so they'd get bombarded by "Hey, I want that version" requests, which would clearly make them less money.

There is no moral high ground with basically any online platforms, it's all solely based on financials, and people should realize this.

What kind of content would you envision to be shown? Says if I want to watch more car review videos
