Well.. farming equipment are high 6 figures 7 pieces of business equipment (the lifetime operating costs are definitely in the 7 figures.) These are owned and operated by people who I would expect to do this type of research and critical th

Bootstrapping an electronics supply chain on another planet seems harder than building the dyson swarm itself.

Probably not that flexible without some big cancellation fee. It can take 4-6 months to go from bare wafer to packaged chips.

I speculate that they are hitting the reticle limit for models not much bigger than this. Judging by the size of the chip in their demonstrator for a 8B model I'm sure they know this already. To scale this up means splitting up large m

Apple has products in their lineup where they refresh and keep the name. Example: Mac Studio is the same every refresh.

I speculate they gave themselves a lot of thermal engineering margin to bump up TDP with the M-series MBP design (or perhaps they underestimated how good the M-series chips were going to be) The battery being at the TSA limit of 100Wh is qu

Fight fire with fire. Anti-drone drones that are near cost parity. Or make some investments to develop, cheap, mobile, relatively short ranged point-defense systems. A middle ground between CWIS and CROWS or a CROWS-like system optimized fo

South Korea is a very young democracy with fresh memories of what it was like under dictatorships. The people very much understand the price it took to get to that point and is not complacent in stomping out wannabe autocrats.

YES. I hit the rate limit in about ~15 mins on Claude. But it will take me a few hours with Codex. A/B testing them on the same tasks. Same $20/mo.

If we can have mass produced fast fashion from runway to store in weeks... Why not tailored clothing at scale? Have a set of portable body measurements that can be sent to any retailer - make an order and have it sent from factory to door i

Why? I don't see it as particularly onerous. They are simply complying with their country's KYC requirements. I've gone through worse to accept payments from US citizens with a US corporation. KYC/AML is annoying but its

Hundreds of millions over what time frame? I got a system with Rails/Solid Queue + Postgres and doing about 20M jobs/day on a $45/mo VM with plenty of room to spare.

Yep, thats a good one. Caffeine is deadly to insects, but a mostly safe stimulant for us. Nicotine also comes to mind. Plants have developed tons of defense mechanisms that are deadly to one class of animals, but useful or only mildly deter

Its the same evolutionary patterns that plants went through. Most mushrooms are edible because their spores can pass through the digestive system of most animals, thus allowing them to spread. Other mushrooms developed toxins to protect the

That is an easily falsifiable statement. If I ask ChatGPT or Claude what MCP is Model Context Protocol comes up, and furthermore it can clearly explain what MCP does. That seems unlikely to be a coincidental hallucination.

I think the apt comparison is the rental car business. They are reasonably good at quality standards because the competition is stiff, and if the vehicles aren't reliable and clean, you will just use the company next door. This incenti

I always found it ironic that Intel benignly neglected the mobile CPU/SoC market and also lost their process lead despite this supposed culture of never underestimating the competition. The paranoid Intel of the 80s/90s is clearly

Its remarkably straightforward. Not fool-proof, but easy. Bacteriostatic water, single use needles/syringes, and self healing injection port vials makes it simple to maintain sterility throughout the process. Multiple doses can be mixe
