That 4gb vram deal sounds ahead of its time. CPU caches are tiered, why not ram? Looking forward to future systems with 8gb ddr6 and 8gb ddr5. "Swapping to ram" would become a thing.

I don't think the big companies not making Sota models being an indicator that open source failed. If all semiconductor patents expired tomorrow it would still be prohibitively difficult to manufacture your own CPU at home or at work.

We can't even simulate a fruit fly even though it's neurons have all been mapped out. There was also a distributed computing project to simulate some nematode, which I can't remember.

Regarding the cheating part, feel like you don't even need to give them any pressure at all nowadays. When you give them a debugging or investigative task and they find out they have no DB credentials, instead of asking they will proce

Well that's just for home use. Say a small to medium enterprise needing a shared drive. Or even things like say video editing you might need a 10G connection. Furthermore for most it's just a hobby so there's no right or wron

If you have a reasonable grasp of Newtonian gravity you would also be unable to conclude that. A wrestler flailing a skinny guy around, from the POV of the skinny guy, is still definitely not the skinny guy flailing the wrestler about. I do

That is true. I'm not arguing for that standpoint, but it works perfectly fine for all classical matters and has been since Descartes. I think in a common sense way you do get what I mean though when I say it is obvious that when we se

From my understanding of the parent I think he's not saying that nothing is trying to replace the standard model etc. But instead nobody is trying to explain the standard model (or whatever). For example, wavefunction collapse. You can

The difference with the Copernican stuff is that you can fly a satellite (e.g. Voyager) to the edge of the solar system, look back, and see the planets orbiting the sun. There is no sane way to put the earth in the center once you do that.

Not true. At work I have skills for different sets of APIs for different scenarios. That saves some prompt bloat because you rarely need to straddle projects. So you just load whatever you're using and don't have to maintain a a g

I don't think it's academia not taking it seriously, more like these publishers are just coasting on brand name and trying to milk every cent out of it. Peer review is essentially being a Reddit mod or something, you get nothing o

What about using decoy profiles? Say before the border crossing you switch to another user. Does that expose keys or anything for other users?

A little curious but too lazy to find out, what's the difference between this and atuin vs fzf? Also I do like the premise, recently stopped using atuin due to all the extra bells and whistles and just went back to fzf.

This is frequently stated as a goal of the 5D chess but it is ridiculous if you think about it. China is not buying oil and gas from Russia at discount rates (and had been for quite a while). They haven't performed blood rites with Ven

Ah, if only Iran did not get pushed onto the path of being a rogue state by the CIA. If only we just let other countries be normal.

A common thing is to lump things together like a tech tree. Is it possible to conceive of a world where nuclear power is invented but not nuclear weapons? Combustion engines but not let everyone have a car and then cause cities to be planne

No, a proper analogy is painting with blindfolds on or playing the piano deaf. Doing math without a calculator is like… rather common?

I don't think so? It's very common in both large companies and small startups where pragmatism has a higher priority than so called elegance or whatever you call it the "artisan" feel. It's varying shades of "p

Also quite common for me is like someone says X is good (usually a PM) but common sense says it's crap, and when you actually ask the user they also say it's crap. If only LLMs could email a bunch of people for second opinions.

That's actually kind of very similar to a passage in Zhuang Zi (ancient Chinese philosopher). He recounts this tale about a king and a wheel maker. The wheel maker asks what the king is doing, and the king proclaims he is reading. The

It's just too much 5D chess to be possible. Government spending billions into AI companies and pressuring them to open source at a hope at denting openAI and co? Why not just pour the cash into electric cars or steel where there's

He was definitely duped by Benny. Him underestimating was part of the dupe. He did not just come up with this shit on his own. Someone fed it to him, and it's most likely Benny. And he slurped it all up. And yes, he made the decision,

You can avoid that if you just plonk them in the desert, where there's also probably infinite solar E.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-china-data-centers-n...

I have no source for this but I feel like the environment thing is too frequently repeated (also without any evidence). They're pumping out solar like mad and places like the Xinjiang deserts actually have nowhere to put their excess e

The more you evolve I guess there's more surface area to evolve on. Similarly cavemen could only do so much. But today you can take a degree in physics, art, history, etc. and it's probably impossible for one person to know all th

I think cameras or even just a reporting hotline would be easier. The problem is lack of motivation I think rather than a money thing.

This is just silly. Deepseek has published so much regarding speeding up and making cheaper inference and people are still harping on the government subsidies thing. So what's all the project Stargate stuff? Subsidies only work when Ch
