Shelter and gasoline are self inflicted injuries Looser zoning, land value tax and investments in energy would solve them

That's because CPU performance cares less about transistor density and more about transistor performance, and 14nm drive strength was excellent

I’m not a fan of Extropic, but I’m seeing a lot of misconceptions here. They’re not building “a better rng”- they’re building a way to bake probabilistic models into hardware and then run inference on them using random fluctuations. Theoret

More rotors aren’t more efficient: the more rotor area you have, the more efficient. Whether you achieve that with 4 small rotors or 1 big rotor is immaterial . The reason eVTOLs use many small rotors is because an eVTOLs only operate in

That article is the purest example of how college has become about signaling and not substance. someone does something commendable in STEM MIT: “We didn’t let them in, which means it’s bad since we are the arbiters of what is good and bad

This demo has more than 500 chips btw, it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison with 1 GPU…

There are three routes to bypass this issue: 1. Move to supercritical Co2 turbines (lower mass —> lower cost), need RnD on corrosion resistant alloys 2. Move to thermoelectric or photovoltaic generators 3. Use aneutronic fusion Directly

Single transistor level frequency is different than chip level frequency. Each clock stage has many layers of transistors

I always find it interesting that whenever an article about psychedelics gets posted, the comments are always “We don’t know yet if this is positive, we need much more evidence and science!” Yet the standard of rigor for alcohol, weed, SSRI

Do we hold things like alcohol or tiktok to the same level of rigor? > when we need science. Do SSRIs beat placebo?

Do… do you know how psychedelics work?

Agreed, and we see in this in particular with the fervor to try and create “non hallucinogenic psychedelics “

Most HPPD is just floaters or tracers, and SSRIs can cause them too. The magnitude of HPPD and the frequency/prevalence need to be studied, but I think seeing some extra floaters in exchange for having a will to live is a trade most wo
