If you’re spending time thinking and not experimenting, then it’s because experimentation is expensive. With an LLM you don’t have to try to predict a complex system in advance, experiments are so cheap to can just converge to a solution di

In the Sahara there is plenty of space and plenty of solar. Any heat you can radiate away in space, you can radiate away on Earth. Or, more simply, dig into the ground and pump heat into the cool earth.

Inequality is rising, but is absolute wealth also rising? Median incomes inflation adjusted?

This phenomenon isn’t confined to Italy. You see it across Europe, the US, and (reversed) in Australia. Charitably, you could chalk it up to sunnier regions being better for agriculture and not cities, but I think that heat simply causes th

Tesla is trying to escape launching the semi TEN YEARS after announcing it. Instead, they are attempting to launch a mere nine years after announcing it. The Pepsi trials with this truck were a disaster, we’ll see if they fixed the numerous

Tesla has a history of exaggerating the ranges of their vehicles to an extent that competitors do not.

The embargo won't backfire, because any delay of China's development was worth it to the US. The situation was never, "China wasn't developing AI chips, now it is", it was always, "China IS developing their own

The engines are so awesome that test flights are loaded with 10% of the promised capacity of the rocket. Someone is blowing smoke up your ass.

If my rocket doesn’t need to deliver any results on any timeline, it can be infinitely advanced. Convenient, right?

I predicted with 100% certainty that this company would fail at launch. What I failed to predict was how long it would take. I’m not bragging, everyone should see it coming.

You don’t need PII to prove you are not a robot. See Privacy Pass. And I don’t know how a website is somehow going to verify your PII as not-fake, anyway. Likely you just use a shit web browser.

Naïve, willing to work for nothing, likely a nepo baby with connections, arrogant, and with a sense of entitlement what will help drive a jumbo liquidity event. They’re the perfect prey for VCs.

The guns needed for the U.S. revolution came from the French. Most U.S. farmer guns were shit for actual warfare.

Given that Raft was rederived simply because the authors couldn’t originally understand Paxos, I’m not surprised to see this.

The talent that was originally driving SpaceX is gone. And I don’t mean Elon’s brain. I mean the real engineers designing the rockets.

A civilization on Mars would not create value. It would be a money incinerator. Mars is a shithole with nothing to offer humanity economically or in quality of life. Quite the opposite, in fact.

None of this is true. Models will soon scale to several million tokens of context. That, combined with the combined experience of millions of feedback cycles, will make software a solved problem for machines, even as humans remain dumb. Yes

They control for that. Sun exposure correlates with decreased mortality (with a dose dependent relationship) for people at the same income level. One of the figures plots it for “moderate income.”

The housing shortage is due to humans breeding and overrunning their habitats. It’s not something to be fixed. It’s badly needed backpressure which keeps the planet livable. Do you want to live in a concrete jungle? Do you want to kill the

For some people, a layout which spares the pinkies is preferable. The BEAKL layouts, for example, are optimized using a hand model which keeps the pinkies as idle as possible. Sometimes this can make all the difference.

The Linux kernel isn’t that complex. It’s mainly device drivers. Linus wrote the first version himself as a hobby, for crying out loud. AIs will be creating custom kernels within five years, from scratch, as customized as you wish. Probably
