I did my masters in Tokamak simulation so maybe I'm biased (though I am a bit of a stellarator fanboy). But I've never heard of SAFIRE. I've been on their website, and I can't find anything explaining what SAFIRE is an

Is it? Definitely not. Could it be? Maybe. Who knows
423.
by aqme28 3y ago
Right. If it's a field that Wikipedia refuses to engage in, then by definition it can't be a competitor.

Same with AI, and yet they both keep getting closer

I've probably seen Dune 1984 too many times to have an objective opinion, but I feel like the acting in Dune Part 1 is comparitively very very muted. All the characters (minus Duncan) seem bored the whole time, which is disappointing i

We already have half of these via AI or automation.

Are we more likely to find alien tech in a "mathematically perfect" star system? Why? The article doesn't mention it.

It seems insane to me to market this as "the food costs extra at certain times of day" rather than "Happy Hour-- 20% off!"

That’s true, but I think that of all the drug markets, weed is the least likely to be adulterated in any way

Big PRs are often faster, due to the bike shedding problem. A small sensible PR will get people debating intricacies. A big unwieldy one will scare reviewers into doing a quick sign-off

If your “better tooling” is to split this PR into multiple smaller chunks, then you’re just reinventing the original workflow

It's not actually the "ELO" system. People just think it's an acronym mistakenly and capitalize it. It's supposed to be written as just "Elo."

"The distrust sowed by the sham campaign in Pakistan could conceivably postpone polio eradication for 20 years, leading to 100,000 more cases that might otherwise not have occurred" Doesn't really make sense to measure traged

Well then good thing it was only "accidental." This also ignores the large number of people with insider information who are not execs at the company. Clients, partnering firms, etc. If it's all about fiduciary duty, then the

by aqme28 3y ago
That is not true. An executive that is allowed to insider trade can make a lot more money mismanaging the company in volatile ways.

Where’s that quote? Something like “AI is just compression, and compression is indistinguishable from AI”

I just think that depopulation via restricting housing would make things a lot worse than any dystopia we’re currently facing
439.

It's not even NIMBYism. It's some sort of even-more-radical "Never Build Anywhere"

But we need people to have children. Discouraging people from having children by limiting the housing stock would be terrible for the economy and for people.

If anything, building more housing reduces slums. edit: The parent comment was edited after my reply, so now mine is a nonsequitor

by aqme28 3y ago
I don't believe that any of this is true. Building more housing does (provably) lower housing prices. And developed urban areas are more environmentally friendly than suburbs. People are going to live somewhere, and density actually ha

Listen, what happens if we want to calculate delivery distances in a n-dimensional universe?

Furthermore, is a minor version upgrade two months later really "next generation"?

I agree with this. It could only make sense where there is abundant almost free energy. But now people just mine crypto in those places. Carbon capture needs to pay better than mining crypto or it won’t happen.

Anyone with such a strong LLM would just take those patents for themselves rather than put them out in public.

Yes. Adding more lanes doesn't help whatsoever if lanes aren't your bottleneck. Knowing your bottlenecks is like 80% of performance management whether it's for software engineering or traffic engineering.

Some kids are also not good, so at least that part of the analogy tracks.

A common blocker for offshore wind is people* complaining about seeing wind turbines on their formerly immaculate horizon. These don't have that problem. *: e.g. Ted Kennedy. Rich and politically connected people like to live on the co
