Top post: @giffmana “Ahh you are at risk of becoming a Bezos-style manager! You need to tell them about each other to avoid this kind of behavior. Put yourself into their show: they though they have the whole cluster and discover someone else working on something similar using some of the gpus!! You are on the verge of discovering BigCo politics from first principles 😁”

Top comment: @AlbertBuchard “At the time, it was more: subdue and control my own citizens, imprison and kill my political opponents, starve, purge, deport, and murder millions of my own people before WWII, completely swallow Eastern European countries I was only supposed to occupy for a few years, and rule them through secret police, propaganda, and fear. Repress any opposition in blood for decades. Russia was so much better before.. communists you know.. they share things, they are the nice ones.”

Top post: @giffmana “They voted/protested out nuclear (fission, but general public doesn't make a difference, "nuclear" is "nuclear"). It's a public sentiment thing. As for robotics, i think it's going quite strong here, lots of startups especially in Zurich. But as with everything, less capital than in SF.”
