The Delaware courts interpret the Business Judgment Rule[1] very liberally. That's because there is risk in business, and corporations take risks and lose all the time, and that's just capitalism. The court is not there to determi

One thing that makes me depressed about ChatGPT is that the software engineering behind it is not some 1996 Doom Carmack style wizardry. It's attention mechanisms, a transformer architecture, and lots and lots and lots of data. The d

A lot of people who die from fentanyl ODs are just casual drug users who are buying some other drug that happens to be laced with fentanyl. They die before they even know what's happening. It takes surprisingly little to kill someone

Intel stumbled badly on their new semiconductor fab development. Their next generation fabrication plants have been delayed for years and they are losing badly to TSMC, which makes AMD's chips. It would be interesting for someone to te

Science fiction authors have proposed that AI will have human like features and emotions, so AI in its deep understanding of human's imagination of AI's behavior holds a mirror up to us of what we think AI will be. It's just

You can spin up everything in tech in no time by just spending money unless it's a 3nm chip fab. However, fabricating chips is a business that everyone wants to outsource. It's work with nasty hazardous chemicals. Development an

They don't provide the trained model do they? That would take millions of dollars of GPU time to train. This safely keeps it out of the hands of the rabble.

I think the Deepmind guys are ahead technologically because of Google's vast talent pool and computing resources, but they are scared of what they are making. The CEO of Deepmind was considering that they should stop publishing resear

Price is not an issue when the choice is more expensive housing or more crime. Lower prices bring in more poor people which brings more crime. High prices are a feature, not a bug. This is perhaps the single most obvious and consistent, b

Nitric oxide effects are downstream from cAMP which is degraded by PDE4. cAMP increases usually come from g-protein coupled receptors releasing it and then there's a cascade that depending on the cell type may create Nitric oxide. How

You are confusing PDE5 and PDE4 inhibitors. PDE5 inhibitors are popular erectile dysfunction drugs and work via nitric oxide. PDE4 inhibitors are anti-inflammatory in the lungs and also have cognitive enhancing effects by potentiation of

It's used in parts of Latin America by thieves to rob people. They become delirious and detached from reality and will do whatever the thieves want. Circe also used it in the Odyssey to turn Odysseus's men into pigs. Odysseus prev

Who would have guessed struggle sessions[1] would come back like this in the digital age? Imagine dying and going to hell and trying to explain to Mao his legacy in terms of Harry Potter, J.K Rowling, Video Games, Mastodon and so forth. [1

I successfully patented a product and licensed that patent to a small company that does quite well selling a product based on that patent. It did cost about $15k, but that's business risk. If a megacorp ever infringed the patent, we co

They probably don't want to have to deal with all the animal rights ideologues nitpicking them and starting drama, so they're just saying they don't care about the politics, and they can mean that by saying it's not vege

The most annoying thing to me is people thinking AI wants things and gets happy and sad. It doesn't have a mamailian or reptilian brain. It just holds a mirror up to humanity generally via matrix math and probability.
