    This is useful to me since I delegate most coding tasks to Opus and use Fable for planning.

    So many ideas involving AI just seems to be built off of sci-fi (not in a good way), including this one. Like sci-fi, there are little practical considerations made.

    What? Fundamentally, information can only be so dense. Current models may be inefficient w.r.t. information density, however, there is a lower bound of compute required. As a patho…

    I thought recycle was the breaking down of the device into its constituents (mostly to recover precious metals or other base materials). In contrast, reuse is where the device is k…

    It might make more sense to think of in terms of expected value. Whilst the probability may be low, the payoff is probably many times the $250M if their startup becomes successful.…

    That's measuring desirability--or at least immediate desirability, which is sometimes related but distinct from wealth. It also quickly becomes meaningless as people risking life a…

    A similar argument could be made for any safety feature that adds cost to vehicles--literally, all of them. If a death is preventable and adds on a relatively inconsequential amoun…

    Can you answer the question?

    How do you define what is needed? The vast majority of reporting does not affect one's own behaviour at all. For example, consider the Snowden leaks, I guarantee you the vast major…

    We still need people on the ground reporting on these things. AI can't (yet) have connections and conversations with relevant parties. Many interviews would not be possible without…

    Just ask any person who works in teaching or any of the numerous faulty AI detectors (they're all faulty). Any current technology which can used to accurately detect pre-AI content…

    Then the solution is targetted tariffs such as the ones they placed on BYD, not across the board tariffs.

    For many people, sure. I can always find exceptions to the rule. I am talking statistically. Fact of the matter is, the bottom 20% QoL has improved significantly, correct?

    > That short sighted western leadership were so eager to ship off manufacturing jobs to China has been a disaster for the west. In what way are you quantifying this? Would you agre…

    The types of manufacturing jobs which would be a step up would be high-tech and high gross-margins manufacturing (which we already do), not whatever crap China is producing. If you…

    We do not want manufacturing jobs, they suck. America has an amazing thing going on where we can trade 1s and 0s in exchange for physical goods. We have an infinite renewable resou…

    For whatever reason, people did not believe Trump would be this crazy. In fact, people in the stock market still do not believe he is this crazy. If they did, the stock market woul…

    Yes, but the author (probably) implemented their save system where the client sends the entirety of the save data to the backend; meaning a lot of redundant information is sent. Id…

    Stock options have legitimate uses. Like all tools, it can be misused. Stock options can be used as a tool to hedge against risk.

    This is unsurprising since from what little I know about electronics, I know the ESP32 is pretty common. I know very little about electronics. So if I know it's common, it's for su…

    It doesn't seem like the wet bulb model accounts for ratio of surface area and volume. The instrument they use is the sling psychrometer, a long cylindrical tube [1]. If I had to h…
