I started prefacing talks about AI assisted programming with this scene from StarTrek IV to illustrate the idea that competence should be independent of available tools.

A positive lyapunov exponent means that your flow has locally diverging properties. No matter what you do you are bound by that. As soon as you uncertainties become of the order of the systems scale you cannot predict. You might push from 1

He talks about the Santa Fe institute and how they failed to carry their findings into the real world. They did not. They showed that for certain problems one could not do more than figure out some invariant and scaling laws. Showing what i

Look at sqllite. They have a good example going how code can be open and you still have a product. For SQLite the actual product is the test-suite and the audits. Sure you can use the code all you like, but you only ever get past quality ga

Niger is at odds with France since the coup d'état 2023 and is considering selling to Russia. France itself is only a reliable partner until LePen gets into office. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/arti

About 40% of the uranium used in Germany came from Rosatom, either directly from Russia or from Kasachstan. That would have helped us to reduce co2, but not to get independent from Russia. Also: Natural gas is used heavily in chemistry and

There is little the US could have done more to harm Europe and Germany in particular than engaging in the Iranian conflict. Qatar was supposed to be the replacement for lacking Russian deliveries. In addition the current government is pro f

That is true for RnD not for Factory workers. Germany has quite strong workers rights, so mass layoffs are not a possible solution to safe money if facing lacking orders. Essentially companies get some of the money back they and their emplo

This is surprisingly honest, let’s see if they can scale.

Two examples of vulnerable infrastructure. But afaik both are related to the same conflict. The current hypothesis is that a left wing group triggered the outage in “protest” against Germanys involvement in the war.

Previous conflicts between the involved parties were intense but also defined by constrain on both sides. Israel did not mass bomb civilians, and Iranian agents did not commit sabotage against infrastructure on US soil. I hope this pattern

This comment is so deep, I fear to get lost in it. If what you said was true, the only way to achieve a superior AI would be to incorporate the virtuous one is aiming at. That would solve so many of the conundrums of the field, I wish it wa

For me, Anthropics’ actions so far were the reason to lobby company internal for Claude and against Codex. I was successful, that’s going to be a few subscriptions.

Why would it? I have a 3d printer and a laser cutter because i want to make things that few other people want. If at all it will make me do more little hyper specific projects.

My pet theory is that, humans have an inherent desire to spent a certain amount of time dealing with food. If our lives are to efficient, say because we do not have to butcher a pig and cure it’s meat to get ham, we start to become obsessed

It has a Root-pattern morphology in which words optimally derive from a set of 3 or 4 consonants. To some extend those roots can even be grouped into meta roots. Loan words do not easily slide into this. New words are less easily made up t

I keep meeting Stanford grads that interview for jobs in Germany, most are women or non-Caucasian. Germany is not even an attractive country to work in at the moment, so I assume it’s even more pronounced elsewhere.

Saphire-Worff is dead; but I think language matters more than we usually assume. My favourite example is Arabic, which is both an old and hard to extend language. In Arabic you would have a hard time to express the concept of „a foreigner w

Creatine helps. It gets stored in the brain as phosphocreatine, which can be used via creatinease to build ATP faster from ADP. It takes at least a week until it gets stored in the brain if you start taking it.

That gives us just the context, not what happened. If she e.g. made an inappropriate comment about her college when he advocated for the feature, that would be the correct response.

Since people are talking about data centers in space, it makes sense to have a look at space grade chips.

Data Centers in space make no sense due to radiation. You cannot do two things at the same time: 1. Make electronics small. 2. Make electronics radiation resistant. It’s a numbers game. The denser things are packed, the higher the probabi

In the USA they would be allowed to down any aircraft not complying with national air interception rules, that would not be murder. It would be equivalent to not dropping a gun once prompted by an officer and being shot as a result. https:
