None of that changes whether there is a physical capacity, which I think was the larger point? There is no reason to believe distributed memory doesn't suffer from the capacity component of the bottleneck. In fact iirc there was som

But the second order effect is that if real estate is no longer treated as an investment, then it becomes less necessary to own a house.

So instead... What? The high price right now to live near work or relocate is regressive. I don't know what proof there is that "money not going back in to the economy"* is a larger effect than increased housing affordabilit

Can you explain what, if any, difference there is between LVT and georgism? How do we know simply building more wouldn't lower the returns on real estate and naturally disincentive using real estate as in investment vehicle? I guess ma

I think even when renters outnumber they're still less likely to be involved in local government. Current owners have a vested interest. Only nimbys show up

If you let a plain llm search the internet with no guidance, it's basically a string matcher with no concept of quality. I thought perplexity's whole point was being good at search?

I mean more the Marxist school of thought, not just the economics. Things like critical theory and post modernism. But also, he made predictions of the near future in his time. They were incorrect. No updates were made. Those who did try to

That questions makes no sense? What is "mathematical" as a property? It has it backwards. Accepting the property of being mathematical, isn't it caused effectively by how much we study and model it mathematically?

There is almost no upside in adopting any new Google product. They kill or abandon almost everything, for decades now. Try it maybe. But don't build any reliance on it.

That's covered by trying and seeing what sticks. That's really all there is to it. I already got downvoted for saying this in other words - feedback against observed phenomena is what matters. Everywhere you see shitty "sci

Science that is science is self-correcting via prediction and experiment. The key piece is the feedback. The "scientific method" as taught in grade school hardly matters and is basically cargo cult. The "is this science&quo

disclaimer: I really don't nearly enough about this stuff to be taken seriously, these are just my immediate thoughts. fMRI is one of the best tools we have, but that doesn't mean it's good. fMRI shit should always be taken

Exactly the post you'd expect at this stage in the technology adoption and hype cycle. People got over hyped not understanding how technology and technology adaption works. Then they get a bunch of like 6-12 month lagging indicators fu

Those are also different things. I think it should unambiguously clear that humans are special to humans. If not that's basically a mental health problem lol

Individuals and families buy houses(ideally). Entities like corporations buy work, often intelligent work. If they can crank up outputs and profits via more intelligent work done by models, I think the ceiling is global demand for the en

Yeah but remember 1) stuff gets more expensive the more it's "processed"/further up the chain. It's hard to think of something further up the value chain than a modern gpu server. Just look at one input, asml machin

I'm not surprised by the copenhagen one, but it also isn't really load bearing for most of physics. Not discounting it as a true disagreement, it just doesn't have the impact popular science would have you believe. Physics is
