Why AI companies wont build their own RAM but prefer to pay multiple times more than what they sold pre AI boom? (And ram business was still profitable). They already make custom processors

Retina is a good example of this. Zebrafish can regrow damaged retina, but while mammals have the same stem cells (Muller glia), they dont repair the retina, but form scar tissue. There is a lot of research and I think they have managed to

I was working on a project for 2 years with about 5 engineers. It was many years before AI. It was new subject for our team, and we were pretty sure it was possible. Turned out it was not. Much later I asked AI if that kind of project is po

I have permanent damage on my retina of other eye. I hope one day humans could regenerate their retinas as sharks and zebrafish can do. Seems strange, that fish living in deep dark oceans can fix their eyes, while most mammals who rely on v

This is my biggest frustration with ads. It will surely cause fake statistics for ad campaigns too: 99% of time when I click ad, it is by mistake.

If I remember correctly, a YT video from Andrew Hubermann, talks about rewards and that you should avoid excessive rewards. It can make the actual work even more painful, because your mind is too focused on the reward, instead of trying to

For me best would be "right room(and tool) for the right job". If I want to program alone, I focus a lot better at home. Running "social_program.exe" in the background in my brain eats a lot of focus in office. Just bein

Nature has come up with moving limbs on animals, but none of the trees seem to be tracking the sun. Branches are in fixed positions.

Animals are not next token predictors. Most animals don't have language and don't generate sentences/ideas. It is unique feature of humans and big part of our success. Animals do have sensors and can reason about real world q

Ability to mute individual tabs is nice. Especially when long ad starts playing on e.g Youtube. Last time I used Chrome, you can only mute all at once.

Maybe one day we can skip plants and weedkillers by using artificial process to make food. Photosynthesis is not very efficient either. Less land for farms and more forests.

Article talks about paradox, where twins reared apart where more similar than twins reared together. As a non identical twin, I remember we sometimes actively tried to become different with my twin. Growing up, we hated being treated as one

In some studies, they used things like positions and angles between bones (before and after surgery). Unfortunately questionnaires might be only thing sometimes. My message is that, we should be more sceptical about them

I have had failed ankle surgery and have read some research papers on the procedure that was done to me. Often, the method was asessed by asking patients to score their situation before and after the surgery (e.g one year later). For sure,

I have exactly same experience. The company and people were not too stressful, but the project and the situation was. It was my first job after graduating, and I was doing most SW alone in a project that, in hindsight, could never quite wor

Of course, I didn't like being super-stressed, but I was not afraid/aware of what it could do to me. It was difficult to get rid of some of the biggest stressors... Biggest one has been chronic pain, for which doctors cannot do mu

Yes, I had heard, but mostly about depression or burnout. While those are bad, person usually recovers to back to normal, so I was not that afraid being super-stressed. I had never heard it can damage your eyes permanently. It is not very c

I never believed that stress could be harmful. It seemed "mental" issue rather than "real" physical problem. Until I got blinded by stress! Excess stress hormone can even damage your eyes, its called central serous reti
