Crazy how forward thinking this guy was in 2005 vs today.

I remember the Saturn V being caught by chopsticks in mid air too. Starship is fantastic value for money compared to Artemis!

Some of the talent at Cursor is second to none. E.g Less Wright, Sasha Rush, Stuart Sul. Google paid 2.5B to bring Noam back into the fold in 2024 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The guy who uncovered this, Sholto David, is basically just awesome? Watch him cycle from Wales -> China in 90 days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdgHZPfivVA This isn't his firs…

Anyone have recommendations on books that can rival the first part of Accelerando in number of prescient ideas about how the near future, pre singularity might look? My own list is…

Hasn't fMRI as a whole been called into question? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02132-9

In a country with a national health system, why should you be able to internalize the benefit of smoking whilst externalizing the cost?

Why ruin good work by letting Claude write it all? Full of em dashes, riddled with Claudisms.

Unreadable Claude slop

This was mostly down to enormous pressure from his father, causing him to have a breakdown in his early twenties. Not to say the results weren't incredible, but certainly required …

How many of these are due to going outside the normal envelope of what birds do?

It takes a different code path for efficiency. e.g if (batch_size > 1024): kernel_x else: kernel_y

But why is FSD "failing" is the key question. Hint: it's not the sensor inputs that are the bottleneck!

I like the comparison, but with aviation on a fundamental level we made it simpler (removing actuation), not added more (senses we dont need)

How can you say camera only navigation won’t work with such finality when humans manage just fine every day! You literally have an existence proof of it working.

I love this, the interday variability in my intelligence is extremely annoying.

Mr Kwok already analysed these deals and gave them a nice little acronym: HALO https://kwokchain.com/2025/07/15/the-halo-effect/

He did not "create" the TPU. He contributed to the creation of the TPU. There are 66 authors on the original TPU paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3079856.3080246

He went from being unable to eat many foods, to eating a full cheese pizza on camera. Pretty sure it worked.

The paternalistic state does not allow you autonomy over your own body. e.g the amount of backlash thought emporium got when he genetically engineered himself to remove lactose int…

Very interesting data point

Dante and Nebula have a bad reputation. ySeq has an 8 month wait list. This guys Nanopore sequencer doesn’t work. It is quite hard to get yourself sequenced in EU in 2025.

How certain are you of this really? I'd take this bet with you. You're saying that we won't achieve AGI in ~80 years, or roughly 2100, equivalent to the time since the end WW2. To …
