Electricity allows near instant transport physical work. General purpose computers allowed us to digitize previously physical work and as such have more a efficient application (near arbitrary algorithms&DS) of work on those now digital

Serious investors look 10 to 20 years in the future. Everyone used google and youtube in 2006, but youtube wasn't profitable til 2016. How could a business burning money by hosting video ever be profitable? Costs come down BUT THEY JUS

Poverty doesn't mean poor. Poverty is a measure of marginalization. The average Vietnamese in the 80s & 90s isn't as marginalized as the average black, they had transactional support from the US government, US religious groups

I mean it almost certainly won't increase unless a major company takes out substantial debt, in which case we just kick the can and have conversations about bigger numbers. I don't quite think you understand, where will these hund

All public school students in the US at least are taught how to do basic scientific research. They should be making novel discoveries every day. The only thing that stopping them now is their own laziness.

A famous AI company valued at over $1 Trillion cannot build a terminal app without screen flicker. They are simply unable, you can borrow money from the future but you can't borrow skill. If your software engineering career had any car

I was going to mention this too. Some of the API documentation I've read is downright puzzling, but whenever I see docs written for an LLM they always contain the exact relevant information I need to start working. [1] I suspect the hu

What do you mean work? No, because there is no single dehumidifier on the market that will get you enough water, so you are out $80 grand, you could have just paid for water delivery.

It's not so much risktaking that's the problem with Reaganomics. It's the risktaking+socalizing costs. If we let billionaires fail there wouldn't be as many of them. Joel Schreiber, Adam Neumann, Miguel McKelvey all bill

I don't understand why people contribute AI slop to existing projects. You move 1000x faster. Just write your own browser in 2 days.

And the goal of computer mathematics research is computer understanding of mathematics. I fail to see a reason provided as to why society should defund automated reasoning just so mathematicians can put off burger flipping for another year.

AI is way too easy, even on advance it loses before end game (to a noob) and goes completely off rails during the endgame. There should be a way to determine where a move is placed, either slowing down the placement or highlighting the last

We need a new business structure that allows decentralized workers. Ironically these systems exist, and are called play, and are often used to get around child labor laws. The Queen Ants own the forever games (Roblox, LOL, Fortnite, Minecra

Tech companies made it "inconvenient" by making worthless data worth something. The only reliable way to get companies to stop stealing this data is to put a price on it. Data Trusts & Fines are a poor and arbitrary way of acc

I think people don't understand that the value of the data generated by chats/agents is conservatively worth $200B a year. This is the so-called data-flywheel. Google is going to keep spending until they hit the break even point.

Not at all, general computing has long been dead, hardware for domain specific tasks will keep improving. There instead will be a long unwinding of the decades of hasty abstractions and some "too big to fail WPU/DOMPU" hardwa

Some resell group is going to have to make this easier. The shear amount of these cards otherwise heading towards the landfill is staggering. That is if Big Tech don't destroy them to prevent model weights from leaking.
