Unless they open-source the AI, I assume it's just going to revoke visas of students with Arabic names or students with even a modicum of support for Palestinians. Then they can launder that practice by saying an AI did it.

You're quite naive if you haven't seen those two positions conflated.

Not everyone drives. If population growth is mostly in places where people bike/ebike/walk/train, then your assumption doesn’t hold.

I like “analog bike” but it doesn’t make any sense either

Also an order of magnitude or two better for the climate than an electric car.

You don’t need them to eat kebab. Just put on your books that you sold a lot of kebab. Do it in cash. Buy some meat and throw it out if you want, and you’re fine.

Hell, even someone like Dan Bilzerian basically openly laundered tens of millions via “private poker games” and he’s never going to be charged for it.

To be fair, a lot of coders aren’t going to read all the details and will just click Apply.

Reminds me of an article I read once about modeling software engineering estimation. The best model they found was to think of software engineering as a Russian nesting doll. You are opening a box, which takes time. Inside that box might be

They've used slime molds for that. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/feb/18/slime-mould-r...

They could also cripple user key-generation. E.g. they choose random primes from a known subset. It would make communication crackable while also being difficult to detect.

How does this differ from Aider's Architect mode? I never used it, but it was my impression that that was the same idea.

They even include error bars. It doesn't seem to be statistical noise, but it's still not great.

It's still never higher than income tax, which is what the parent comment was comparing to.

There's no way to prevent all theft short of closing the store. You need to find a balance between preventing theft and allowing people to shop. IMO the tendency of CVS to lock products up in cabinets has pushed a lot of their customer

Yes, but that’s not the whole picture. If the value of the company goes up, shareholders capture value as capital gains which has a very low tax rate.

Yes. Laypeople often forget about this fact. A big reason that we're not building fission plants is because you won't get anything back for a decade or more. And by that time, will it still even be competitive?

He might be talking about a "direct fusion drive," which is not an ion drive. It's basically a magnetic-confinement device but you leave part open in such a way that fusion products exit to produce thrust.

> The neutron corrosion alone is very serious problem that I doubt can be fixed. It can be fixed, because some fuels don't produce neutrons. But aneutronic fusion is like two orders of magnitude more difficult than Deuterium-Tritium

I think they mean that we shouldn't have to send a guy inside the reactor to clean and reset it up every time you fire it. I don't really know why they listed this point.
323.
by aqme28 2y ago
They listed 5 challenges but they forgot probably the biggest one-- Make it cheaper than the alternatives. That might never happen even if we do solve all the material and technical problems. Disclaimer-- I did my masters on fusion reactor

> You can't just pull up a weapon from the suspect home and call it a "murder weapon". There is ample history of the police doing this. You should not trust them at face value the same way you do not trust the defendant at

by aqme28 2y ago
That's a misunderstanding then. They found a weapon and are claiming a connection, but you should not believe a connection just because the police claim it.

Reminds me of Gabriel’s Horn, which has an infinite perimeter but finite area.

It's why you don't really see any beer below like 90-100 Calories, despite all the "low calorie" beer marketing there is out there.

Scaling up a business, for one. By the time "scaling up" is actually computationally relevant, the founders are no longer coding. Also general coding practices for large teams or multiple intersecting teams.

Unfortunately, the company preferred to hire experienced ex-FAANG managers for those roles.

I was the second engineer (series A) at a company that IPO’d at a unicorn valuation. By all rights that’s a great outcome. I made about as much in that exit as I would have if I were just at a FAANG instead
