They are cracking on with related biology related simulation. Some of it is now proprietary though in Isomorphic Labs.

Domain expertise in whatever niche they are in. Like Palantir is not competing against dozens of similar startups in the shady military data space.

And the total capex spend to date is roughly $1tr so revenues are ~20% of capex. It doesn't seem ridiculously out of whack. They don't have to do the future spending unless revenues are coming in appropriately. (source on the cape

I think a lot is about a group with a particular behaviour. I'm in central London and we have all races and nationalities - black, white, arab, muslim, chinese, everything really but it's only the Roma that camped in my local squa

I'm not sure hardware vs software is the right model. I think consciousness is more a functional thing. Say you are in a fight, if your opponent can see you and react they are conscious, if you knock them out and are they are not aware

I think I first saw something saying scientists had found a link there about twenty years ago. There's a lot of evidence of something going on though some uncertainty to the exact mechanism.

Usually you can find out. There are probably radar records showing them coming from Russia. But people aren't that interested and it's hard to keep up with the firehose of falsehood coming out of Russia constantly.

by tim333 3mo ago
I mostly agree but there has been a lot more coming from Europe than stern letters. They've sent a lot of weapons to Ukraine, funded more, and intercepted Russia's fleet. That could and likely will get stepped up.

There are a lot of similarities between Trump and Wilhelm but even so the situation is not like pre WW1 really. Then you had a number of warlike alliances rearing for a fight. Now you have basically Russia attacking it's neighbour and

But you can still try to climb Everest even if helicopters are available, and likewise you can still try to do maths even if LLMs can do it quicker.

It is a bit complicated as flying isn't much subsidised in cash terms and if you put large taxes on fuel, flights will divert to nearby countries with less tax. In the UK there is air passenger duty which is for example £102 per passen

I saw an interview with I think the CATL ceo and he was saying it's quite a headache ensuring the batteries last that long. Grid storage companies want 25 or 30 year guarantees. It sounds like sodium may have the advantage there.

I don't think anyone's cracked that yet. There was a YC startup trying to do stuff with iron oxide. ( https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/batteries/gigantic-form... ) And proposals using aluminium but aga

They get quite a lot of use in Ukraine shooting down incoming cruise missiles and drones which Russia launches by the hundred. You'd need a lot of expensive missiles to do the same.

It's also a drone with a lot of capabilities current drones don't have. Mach 2, up to 2600 miles range, ~9 tonne payload, compatible with all sorts of missiles.

Those aren't really AI controlled. It's just remote control for regular jet aircraft.
