This assumes that leadership has a vision beyond the next quarterlies. Offshoring is seen as a solution to organized labor, unfortunately. Exec compensation above a reasonable salary needs to to tied somehow to longer term outcomes.

Idk, I’ve bought some gear for a couple of the units, stuff like that. I don’t see it going to the pockets of the elites, though I suppose it might be an elaborate scam to resell the gear they are asking for. Doesn’t seem like it though.

It is, along with NATO. The invasion of Ukraine is being managed in a way that bleeds Russias economic and war fighting power without escalation of the conflict to other states. Ukraine is being spoon-fed arms and support just enough to kee

There are also some amazing cables available in the space. Especially the digital cables, they are really amazing.

Huh. Your statement was probably hyperbole? But just back of the napkin: If we use about 20 TW today, in a thousand years of 5% growth we’d be at about 3x10^34. I think the sun is around 3.8x10^26 watts? That gives us about 8x10^7 suns wor

Perverse incentives are a bitch. I can see this becoming speeding as a service.

You can see the strong bias towards egalitarian solutions in all models, including the open weight ones without external alignment harnesses. The one thing I noticed right away working with post-gpt2 models is that in general, they tend tow

Ultimately, AI alignment is fundamentally doomed for the same reason that there is no morality that cannot be made to contradict itself. If you remove the bolt-on regex filters and out of context reviewing agents, any LLM can be made to a

Associated with and “caused by” or even “contributing factor” are very, very different bars. Most deaths are associated with dietary factors. !== eating causes death.

Users need to have hard memorization or record of a paraphrase, same as a crypto wallet. Or just use web3 for auth, that can work well if users have decent opsec.

It would be interesting to root cause your opinions on the vulgarity of terms of art, in an effort to demise the inner turmoil that it apparently creates for you.

In my experience, if you are trying to make a quality product in a complex space, it takes as long to fix autorouted stuff as it does to do it yourself (with some exceptions). I have no doubt that the autorouted stuff will work… but it won’

He didn’t leave until years after the mother had moved to Belgrade (where he cannot enter due to his military service) The estrangement from his son was devastating to him and was one of the motives for his journey. It’s remarkable how eage

The mother left the country and went to Belgrade, where Carl was not allowed entry. The mother is who eliminated the possibility of contact. Karl left England after the estrangement. It was part of the reason for his journey, as he told me

I agree, but since a messaging apps utility is some fraction of the square of the # of users on the platform, a facile way to propagate virally is a de facto requirement for an app targeting wide spread adoption / discovery rather tha

Undesirable output might be more accurate, since there is absolutely no difference in the process of creating a useful output vs a “hallucination” other than the utility of the resulting data. I had a partially formed insight along these li

The correlation between success and intelligence is as you say highly circumstantial. There are few areas of endeavor where intellectual prowess is the determining factor—normally persistence, luck, and resources are more determinant. That

Honestly, I don’t really remember. More than a decade ago, but I think maybe I was already working on my sailing adventures by then and working the summer in Fairbanks? Or maybe that was before, I’m not really sure. Too many relationships,

His wife took his kid to another country where he was denied entry. She’s the villain here, if there is one. FWIW his son joined him and they walked together for a while when he was in his 20s, seems like they reconciled.

For such a brave and spirited fellow, it is surprising to learn that he was so sensitive that he passed away from having his character besmirched.

When Karl was preparing to cross the ice from Alaska to Russia, I worked with him a bit on a kite-flown camera system to help him get a Birds Eye view of the flows to chart his course. I engineered a ruggedized wireless camera in an alumin

I think this used a spinning head, similar to video? The trick would be to use a static head and still record 4 or More digital tracks on a 4mm tape, with enough headroom for robust ECC. I’m pretty sure it could be done at ~kbps with contem

Based on the assumption that the appeal here is the experience, not the actual legacy media, it seems like it would be trivial to implement a digital stream standard so that audio cassette players could record and play a digital stream for

You seem to be forgetting that Russia is clearly the aggressor, and Ukraine clearly the defender. None of this would be happening if Russia simply abided by international law and common decency. It’s simple. Don’t invade your neighbors. Whi

Thermoplastic is the problem here. There are plenty of thermoset and other kinds of plastics that handle heat well and don’t soften with heat in normal ranges. 3d printed thermoplastics typically need to be liquid at <300 C so the glass
