The logical business opportunity in the current LLM-boom is to create a bunch of AI-less services and products, and then charge money to access them. Think of premium branding analogy: masses get cheap AI slop, wealthy get high quality huma

SpaceX will increase the lead from all potential competitors even further.

Very unfortunate, but strategically this changes nothing for US spaceflight. If anything, SpaceX will continue to increase its dominance.

After going back and forth, I stopped using AI for coding at all. Maybe I am not "competent" developer, but the point has some merit.

What topics are you interested in - I have about a dozen subscribed to. Gaming? Webcomics? Fusion power? Space exploration?

I think at least one approach that can work is de-globalization of social media into smaller, reputation/trust-ranked social networks. Discord is pretty good in this regard.

Cyrillic letters can be used to spice up English. Imagine having just one letter for "ch", "sh" and "th"! "She relaxed in the chair under a tree's shade" "Шe relaxed in фe чair under a tree&

Sort of long answer. In, say, civil or aerospace engineering, science is understood well enough to allow your building or airplane to be modelled and tested using computer modelling, CAD software, FEM and CFD algorithms and so on. You can d

It is a valuable initiative, regardless of Zuckerbergs personas.

In my practice, I found AI are more useful in adversarial mode ("criticize this concept, "find a possible bug in this code", "challenge me", "quiz me on the knowledge"), because the knowledge found adds up

Most people aren't anywhere close to Terence Tao on intelligence scale. Even most of HN commenters aren't that close to Terence Tao.

Mastodon, Discord?

Federated solutions seem to be the future, after once-beloved provider becomes the crumbling monopoly.

I tried and not impressed. Even latest and greatest LLMs still have very poor understanding of geometry and numbers.

Violence is language that needs no translation. Everyone across the world, every culture, every country, every social group - from elites to homeless can converse in it using the same vocabulary. It is useful to have some degree of mastery

The paper is very light on details and doesn't offer any evidence of the stated hypothesis beyond referencing other work.

You absolutely need to solve the gatekeeping and reputation part, otherwise your newly-minted open access journal would be filled to the brim with cranks and charlatans.

You don't need new physics for interstellar spaceflight - 16 km/s of dV is enough. you don't even need to go that much faster to slowly spread among the stars. There are a lot of smaller bodies all the way from Sun to Alpha C

If humanity doesn't perish in the next hundred year and masters interplanetary spaceflight, antimatter drive is the logical next step in propulsion after fusion. Interstellar spaceflight will become (barely) feasible once spaceships ca
