I'd be really cool to have the RPi firmware in FRAM as well.

"and have another mil left over for metal" was the part accounting for hardware, infrastructure, etc. And you can fudge the employee salary a mil or two either way, but the point is that spending that much on a team to build somet

Uber is a technology company that tracks 'rides' between drivers that are contractors and customers, and accounts for taking money from one and giving it to another. I wouldn't just call it a core part, I'd go so far as

Assume the device is in a time capsule, not rattling around on someone's keychain for 200 years.

by cdchn 2y ago
Now I'm curious what other parts of this device could last 'over 200 years.' Whats the next weak link on the chain? Is contact corrosion the ultimate limiting factor?

Developing and maintaining a totally bespoke DB system with that kind of volume even for $5m/yr, spitball you could get yourself 25 top-notch engineers without AI PhDs and have another mil left over for metal. Sounds plenty feasible t

You've now implemented sharding on top of SQLite. Eventually all programs will be able to read email.

This site showed me a popup telling me that I had less than 10% battery life left and that this site could accelerate the drain, which I thought was hilarious.

I'd guess it does the video encoding on the GPU before it goes back to the PC. GeForce Experience recording does this as well I believe.

Abstractions are a thing. We use devices all the time that we don't understand entirely the workings of.

Yes, it was more along the lines of The Last Question, wasn't even thinking about LLM.

by cdchn 2y ago
Thats the distinction I think between an LLM and a real AGI. One is a stochastic parrot, the other can come up with new ideas.

The idea for me comes less from AI than the slowdown, I think, of really ground breaking science. We're still proving Einstein's ideas, we haven't really moved much beyond Einstein.

by cdchn 2y ago
Not to bring the all pervasive AI topic into this discussion, but I think the best hope we have for finding that unification depends on an AI superintelligence. I wonder if we've reached the limit of what a singular human mind can pus

Just playing the devils advocate here, but what if you're not lying.. what if you're just keeping your mouth shut, for millions, maybe tens of millions? Wish I could say I would have been that strong. Many would not disparage a c

That cost wasn't designed to prevent bad actors, that cost was designed to generate profit.

by cdchn 2y ago
From what other people have commented, you don't get equity. You get a profit sharing plan. You're chained to them for life. There is no divestiture.

Wow. Smart for them. Former employees are behooved to the company for an actual perpetuity. Sounds like a raw deal but when the potential gains are that big, I guess you'll agree to pretty much anything.

Thats not what the original poster described, just that "a" cost would be all thats needed. And trying to attach a price to a transaction that makes it unprofitable for bad actors but not be a burden on legitimate users is intract

But accessing the PSTN network still has a cost. Simply having a cost is not a blocker for bad actors.

Sure helped the PSTN.

Interesting that the exchange with the real Apple employee happened on Mastodon. Seems to be breaking the critical mass for serendipitous exchange.

Where he says "that 5-acre plot had been zoned for ONE house"

by cdchn 2y ago
Yeah usually they want you to build one house on one plot. Not build a compound. If you want to build 5 houses, you subdivide.
