Why is on-device AI the future? What is your reasoning behind this? Look at the proportion of things we compute on someone else’s computer relative to what we compute on our own device. Why would this change for LLMs?

I don’t take my phone into the gym due to the distraction from doing what I’m there to do. I have found that a simple squared notebook with a pen to be perfectly sufficient for remembering what I’m doing, knowing how much I lifted last time

It has helped me to live with the model that the probability of there being any sort of objective morality or ethics is close to zero, and that a hierarchy of influence within any given context is generally unavoidable. Once you accept this

I don't agree. They are two separate depictions of what might happen as a result of applying a tax on advertising. They may well coincide with each other, however. Saying that the second is a restatement of the first is like saying two

No one buying shit anymore. People still buying shit elsewhere. GDP and tax revenues fall relative to others. Deflationary aspects. Market leaders complain through lobbying groups. Repeal. Back to square one.

Please see the bicycle analogy. Resources available at a given time are finite. If everyone is now churning out software at a higher rate with LLMs, what changes in terms of the value gained?

How much value in present terms was created by n hours of your time before LLMs, and how much value is created now by n hours of your time? If everyone is using LLMs, has that value calculation result changed? People used to go to work by f

I think I agree. The question is what happens before then. The S&P 500 went down about 40% following 2000 and 2008. The FTSE 100 showed similar losses. My questions are: Will we still have jobs if there’s a crash? How can we start resea

Defi does a pretty good job regarding unimpeded access in comparison to the more traditional venues. This isn’t just about getting money into the system, but also what instruments you have access to. The term ‘perfect information’ is a bit

The actor itself can be said to be waiting. When it yields, the thread is then able to run another actor which was waiting on a message, and which then has a message on the queue.

What are actors doing between finishing processing the last message and receiving the next one?
