That c8g.metal-48xl instance costs $7.63008 on demand[1], so for the price of the laptop, you could run queries on it for about ~90 hours. :shrug: as to whether that makes the laptop or the giant instance the better place to do one's w

I concur it’s not necessarily totally absurd — but when you consider that such contraptions require large — very large! — receiving arrays to be built on the ground, it’s hard to avoid concluding that building gigantic photovoltaic arrays i

To keep torturing the metaphor, LLMs might be more like those electric unicycles (Onewheel, Inmotion, etc) – quite speedy, can get you places, less exercise, and also sometimes suddenly choke and send you flying facefirst into gravel. And s

According to this US government site, 5-year survival rates across all cancer sites have improved from 50% to 75% between 1974 and 2017. (For men it started at more like 40%). That’s not utterly transformative but I wouldn’t call it negligi

What if a self-driving car accepted as input the muttered opinion of every adult and child in the car, as well as transcripts of all of our in-laws and friends phone calls as to where the car should go?

Well, the subset of stations that pulled the show were the ones owned by a (right-wing) company, Nexstar, that has proposed a merger that is up for FCC review. It wasn’t fear of being punished for allowing a “falsehood” on the air, it was p

As an aside to this aside on the aside… I've gotten into reading Tintin books with my kid, as I did when I was about his age. They're grand adventures and sort-of progressive, for their era. But the basic structure of many of the

You have the real answer, but I suppose it is contrasted with a "value tree."

Can you gather historical information as well? I did a bit of spelunking of the Wayback Machine to gather a partial dataset for OpenAI, but mine is incomplete. Future planning is well-informed by understanding the trends — my rough calculat

I appreciate this point – it would take quite a few Tsar Bombas to approach the binding energy of a planet.

Let’s see — the Tsar Bomba nuclear weapon released the equivalent of converting about 2.3 kg of matter into energy (1). One solar mass is about 2 x 10^30 kg, so round numbers this event released the same as 10^31 Tsar Bombas, which is … a l

It’s worth clarifying that the 59% overhead rate doesnt mean 59% of the funds go to overhead. If you have a $1m grant, you add on $590k for overhead. Then the total grant is $1.59m, so actually 37% of the total funds are for overhead.

We live in a polity. That polity can be generous, well-regarded, respected, feared, and despised. The admixture of those attitudes affects our polity’s ability to pursue its interests. (I also happen to think that our polity should assist t
