When you talk at full speed, are you really picking the next word? I feel that we pick the next thought to convey. I don't feel like we actively think about the words we're going to use to get there. Though we are capable of doing

This exactly! There are so many things that a human worker or coder has to do in a day and a lot of those things are non-core. If someone is trying to be an expert on every minor task that comes across their desk, they were never doing it r

Absolutely. Also, the level of cheating in college, even pre-AI is often overlooked in these articles. For the exact reasons you state, pre-AI homework was often copied and then individuals just crammed for the tests. AI is not the problem

But these ships are carrying containers for many different companies, right? If some companies want the goods now and other companies need to hold off, how does that work? Just whoever's shipping the most goods wins?

It's too early to tell. We're only 24-36 months in. We're still in the post Netscape, pre-dotcom-crash bubble. Real applications are coming.

I don't know if humans are rational in that way. Isn't nuclear energy, one of the safest forms of energy overall? But I still can't shake the fear of it. And that fear across most of the population has hindered nuclear energy

Ha. That's a good analogy. When I first read the parent comment, I thought, maybe this is a long-term architecture concern... But your message reminded me that we've been here before.

Works... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.... I almost forgot about Works. That was the word processor for those of us without a lot of money in those days.

Agree! If I remember correctly, Wordperfect and Word were neck and neck until Word 6.0. Wordperfect and Word 5 were still close to tied. Word 6.0 is where Microsoft finally pulled away. The 90's were exciting times. So many epic battle

Microsoft's IPO did not lead to the dotcom bubble. It was Netscape's IPO that did that. Microsoft and Intel's stocks were a big deal in the 90's. But they were solid businesses. To my memory, the idea of getting rich ove

It's so interesting that much of this is playing out like that movie Creator where New Asia embraces AI and robotics and the western world doesn't. Here we are, a couple of years later, truly musing about sectors of the world embr

I asked this elsewhere, but, I don't fully understand the reason for the critical GPU shortage. Isn't it because NVIDIA insists on only using the latest nodes from a single company (TSMC) for manufacture? I don't understand w

Wow. That shows how much wildlife we've killed off. Whales, buffalo, elephants, and the list goes on. In a balanced world, I feel like we shouldn't have more mass than the total of all these massive creatures. I wonder in what yea

This whole argument by OpenAI suggests they never had much of a moat. Even if they win the legal case, it means weights can be inferred and improved upon simply by using the output that is also your core value add (e.g. the very output you

NBC Nightly News, on Monday, had an expert -- at 8:05 in the video -- who claimed there might be national security risks to Deepseek. I'm not going to take a side on whether there is or not. But, it does sound reminiscent of the reason
