I've always assumed quantum entanglement is being leveraged in the brain. Why? Because, seeing the speeds needed for the type of computing the brain does, chemistry -- e.g. the classical changes in atoms due to classical interactions--

Wow. Thank you for breaking this down in such detail. I didn't realize how much Gilead does. Yeah, the reality of drug costs leaves no great options. It's capitalism. Capitalism leads both to breakthroughs and to expensive drugs.

Didn't SpaceX just lose a rocket in similar fashion? What's the difference?

It's a fair question. Data centers are wildly expensive to operate if you want proper security, redundancy, reliability, recoverability, bandwidth, scale elasticity, etc. And when I say security, I'm not just talking about softwar

I felt the same. Then I decided to spend some of my money hosting others at my home and sharing nice things with them -- things that they themselves may not be able to afford or care to spend personal money on. For example, taste testing an

I was in Istanbul last year. Didn't see these wonders he mentioned. The subways seemed to be closer in quality to a NYC than a London. Very capable, but didn't seem cutting edge.

How do you patch software causing a BSOD? It seems like a chicken and egg problem. I ran a team that developed a remote agent, and this was my nightmare scenario.

Do they not roll out their new agents in small increments? I'm trying to understand how there is such a serious issue at this scale.

If you spent your entire life in an area with gravity prior to that moment, you would feel like you are falling even though you are NOT. Our brain is used to gravity. That is why weightlessness feels weird. But falling and weightlessness ar

Falling and weightlessness are identical. Weightlessness only feels weird because we rarely feel it. If you were suddenly in empty space (e.g. in an area with zero intrinsic acceleration), you would feel like you are falling. Because the fe

My favorite was when everyone was looking for prompt engineers. I was trying to understand what prompt engineering was, because I thought there is no way this is a discipline for how to ask ChatGPT questions... And then I realized it was...

It's true. Control of many fringe regions was tenuous at times. For example, the Annals of Sennacherib show the Assyrians had to re-conquer areas that drifted after previous subjugation. But how do you draw those boundaries between sub

How long did this take to build? I know I read below that you used ChatGPT, which is great. We're going to see more amazing work across the board because of ChatGPT and tools like it.

When viewing my resume, my name, Ayo Ijidakinro (Nigerian), is often mistaken for Japanese. Especially because I had on my resume that I speak some Japanese. When I show up for the interview there is surprise. The syllables are identical. A

It's amazing how ChatGPT makes code the reader may not be familiar with faster to grok. The examples in this article assume familiarity with SIMD. In the past, I would have tabled an article like this for deciphering later. But, with C

I don't know. The concept of junk DNA never made sense to me because, besides proteins, you need to know how to assemble everything and when. The idea behind junk DNA was that the rest of it didn't code for proteins and therefore

So, I'm confused by why we say it's matter when mass and energy are equivalent. Why have we concluded that it is matter and not dark energy. Let's momentarily ignore the fact that the name dark energy was already taken for th

Wait. Why did China suddenly start producing so much? Did they suddenly discover a major deposit? Or did they just not care to mine gold at scale previously?
