If Vimium would work in Orion I'd be happily paying for Orion+ and Kagi but sadly it doesn't.

I think the idea was actually that it would give people who like the taste/texture/experience of meat an option to skip meat, and lower the bar for people to eat a more plant based diet, not cater to vegetarians or vegans. I'

There is no cost pressure on Waymo to reduce rates below Uber or Lyft as they are much smaller, they are price takers not price makers in the market. Lowering prices far below your competitors when you are supply constrained for the time be

Well, Altman is also investing in Helion, which projects to get the price of electricity to ~$10/MWh, but for whom, much like solar, wind, and actual nuclear the cost structure is overwhelmingly dominated by capital costs and non-varyi

I love Orion and it'd be my main browser if only a) Vimium worked and b) they'd add or enable web panel extensions ala old Zen, Vivaldi, or Edge. I'd pay $30/mo to use Kagi such an Orion.

Well even for simple things there's a large difference. Say you toss a coin N times and observe heads x times. What is the probability of your next toss coming up heads? A frequentist arguably would say the question doesn't really

I think I'll just use Julia, since it has great libraries for doing matrix operations and mapping loops etc onto GPUs and handling indices etc. And if you need some Python library it's easily available using the fantastic PyCall l

It would be really amazing if you could attempt for those who've connected Pocket to pull the data of all those saved files etc into Reader. I realize it wouldn't necessarily work as some stuff is just gone, but it would be a nice

I have only just begun my road down lisp, from starting to hack some elisp and working with some CL for fun. But structural editing is turning out to rapidly be my favorite feature, to the point that I'm working in my personal time on

Did you use evil mode? I am basically just running Spacemacs and I don't often need to use ctrl and option most of the time by leveraging the modal editing.

Interop with what? It has a very good FFI for C, PyCall, RCall, etc. work quite well. It is pretty REPL focused, but what is the thing you want that you don't have? Like better debugger support in VSCode or something?

We have a constraint, say keeping warming below 1.5 or 2C, and we want to achieve it with as little pain as possible. You use a laptop, you probably play some video games, you see movies, you probably eat meat, you probably drive a car arou

Is Coalton compatible broadly compatible with the features of CIEL? I've been interested in getting into CL, and CIEL seems like a very nice batteries-included way to do that. But Coalton is also quite interesting and brings some featu

I mean, if you draw the scaling curves out and believe them, then sometime in the next 3-10 years, plausibly shorter, AIs will be able to achieve best-case human performance in everything able to be done with a computer and do it at 10-1000

As someone who came from vim, I find evil to be great tbh.

What is a pet in the relevant sense here? Let's assume you have everything in the Culture except the ASIs. So you have full blown Drexlerian nanotechnology, access to all the technology more or less possible out to the limits of physic

I adored my Spark EV til it sadly died (fairly scarily, on a highway access road) one day. Chevy was never able to repair it and ultimately gave me a nice payout after paying for a rental for me for nearly a year. But if you sold the Spark

Costs for a given amount of intelligence as measured by various benchmarks etc has been falling by 4-8x per year for a couple years, largely from smarter models from better training at a given size. I think there's still a decent amoun

I mean, it's just doing STT, it's not trying to run inference on a frontier model, and if you have to connect to a remote datacenter vs your own machine that could add latency that slows down the experience. There are also tradeof

Yeah if you're doing a big coding session up near the limits of context even with prompt caching each reply can be ~80¢ or something, so you can definitely blow through $200 on the API if you are using it heavily.

I think generally the expectation is that there are around 100T synapses in the brain, and of course it's probably not a 1:1 correspondence with neural networks, but it doesn't seem infeasible at all to me that a dense-equivalent

At the limits of what seems likely to be feasible with atomically precise manufacturing and chemical energy scale technology, you arrive at something similar to a somewhat slower Star Trek replicator, able to produce on demand in under an h

An eink device not being great at reading books is silly. These devices are especially compelling for academics, but Remarkable has no links to reference managers like Zotero. It also is radically dependent on your computer or phone for get
