Not just reserves, but also all the oil already on ships slowly making its way to its destination. I think I even saw someone predict that around September, the oil issue would get worse due to how slowly those ships move.

astra is more parlor tricks than real gains tbh i swear they trained in on threejs in particular so those idiots on twitter could spam their garbage demos

and that hunger for compute has made it so true personal computing freedom is inaccessible. A convenient future where all compute is for rent only..

Yes, LLMs with unbounded capabilities can just be tantamount to viruses.

why wouldn't the FSD company itself integrate into insurance? they have the error rate data which is king for insurance. seems like free real estate.

Waymo is first to market by retrofitting a bunch of Jaguars nobody else would buy. They can keep that arbitrage up for a while.

it is all assembly under the hood but it's also all lambda calculus under the hood

it's not marketing. it's an internal culture (emphasis on cult) that's high in its own supply.

Actually, the IO monad in haskell desugars to RealWorld -> (a, RealWorld) Where RealWorld is a "token" that is just meant to be threaded through. You cannot create one yourself, so you have to be given one. Thus, that function

the AI-pilled exec at my job already (a few weeks ago) declared out of nowhere that we are in the rapid takeoff scenario lol. he must have gotten high on twitter kool-aid and posted on company slack to self-soothe.

for self hosted and personal use, compute lasts a good while though. and in the time you would've been waiting to time the compute market, you get to benefit by being less a part of the AI data dragnet.

The issue is at scale. A tragedy of the commons in a way. I have seen a situation where engineers can't write code by hand if challenged to. Not one. At scale (like the juniors got quizzed as an AI sanity check and couldn't hack i

yeah AI companies are pretty vehemently set on making kids dumb & dependent on their products for life. a school district doesn't have the power or bankroll to oppose them. what arrogance lol
