Why are airline pilots considered cool, while bus drivers are essential infrastructure, but do basically the same job — getting people from A to B?

Increased security compared to bare hardware, lower than VMs. Also, lower than Jails and RKT (Rocket) which seems to be dead.

Hexanitrogen? Nice, but Octanitrocubane is what GURPS promised for TL9. Found in the warhead table, yes: this is "cleaner" explosives, but military is not spending billions to safe the environment. But get a higher TNT-equivalent

Yupp, I stopped reading and closed the browser tab when I saw that. Then reconsidered, to find the original source.

"politics of high smokestacks" was when e.g. Germany got higher smokestacks, since we initially killed the local plant life when burning coal. Now, we can kill the whole planet at once, but only a tiny bit. Problem solved, until w

Eat the chicken, protein for two weeks. Take a hen, not a rooster like Heihei, and you get more protein out of it over time.

The end of the page needs an "Epilepsy ⹃ flickering lights" warning. Looks like the Loki Disney+ series intro, in cassette futurism style.

Side note: RFCs are great standards, as they are readable. As an example of how not to do it: XML can be assumed a standard, but I cannot afford to read it. DIN/ISO is great for manufacturing in theory, but bad for zero-cost of initial

Nice. LLMs can prove barely anything, providing some sources, or doing pure math that already circulates. AFAICT, so far, no novel ideas have been proven, i.e. the "these systems never invented anything"-paradox for three years no

For some reason, we learn math as if we were farmers in the early 1900s. We do not learn (Bayesian) statistics early enough to tell fact from fraud, what city dwellers and voters could probably use instead. And applied math on a PC would be

AI 2027 had a good hint at what LLMs cannot do: robotics. So perhaps the singularity is near, after all, since this is pretty much my feeling too: LLMs are not skynet. But it is easier to pay people off in capitalism, than to engineer the t

Usually, you can find contacts instead of writing to random admins in abuse or security info. Helps them make money, so most should know low-hanging fruit like this.

AGIs probably comes from neurosymbolic AI. But LLMs could be the neuro-part of that. On the other hand, LLM progress feels like bullshit, gaming benchmarks and other problems occured. So either in two years all hail our AGI/AMI (machin
