My favorite LLM tells me that roughly 85% of the world’s gold is simply “lying around” in the sense of being held as jewelry, bars, coins, or reserves. In contrast, only about 15% of the gold is actively utilized in production or technologi

Make a mistake once, it’s misjudgment. Repeat it, it’s incompetence? Meta nearly doubled its headcount in 2020 and 2021, assuming the pandemic growth would continue. However, Zuckerberg later admitted this was a mistake.

Interesting. So US Treasury securities instead of cash right? And then every time there is a dip, sell the treasuries and buy ETFs?

The problem is Tina! There Is No Alternative - Gold? Dead asset - Cash? Good luck with inflation - Bitcoin? My ass… So what else can you do as a rational investor than to invest most of your cash into an S&P500 or World fund?

What I find weird is that no one has solved the "people like you also liked this" problem for ratings/reviews. All ratings on these platforms are average values through the entire cross-section of people. Yet I am sure that t

One thing I prefer in Notion is the index site, which is something Obsidian lacks. PS: I’m aware there are plugins that solve this issue, but none of them have worked well enough for me.

He is smart. He senses that the tide is turning. So he starts changing the messaging. AGI was always just a vehicle to collect more money. AI people will have to find a new way now.

Thanks to your comment I came across this article, which I think explains agents quite well. Some differences seem artificial, but it gets the point across. Were you thinking along these lines? https://medium.com/@tahirbalar

I am no expert myself but it as far as I understand morning or late-afternoon sunlight’s red and near-infrared light boosts mitochondria and thus supports immunity.

Sad to hear but curious to know: before you got the flu, did you expose yourself to sunlight? There are more and more studies showing how light helps our immune system.

Can someone explain to me in simple terms what an agent is? Is for example Google’s crawl bot an agent? Is there a prominent successful agent that I could test myself? So many questions…

The only one who can stop Google is Google. They’ll definitely have the best model, but there is a chance they will f*up the product / integration into their products.

The AI dooming was never a thing for me. And I still don’t get it. I don’t see anything that would even point into that direction. Curious to understand where these thoughts are coming from

I have been saying this before: S-curves look a lot like exponential curves in the beginning. Thus, it’s easy to mistake one for the other - at least initially.
