He's pointing out that labor has always opposed labor saving technology, despite that being the basis of our modern quality of life.

What's your evidence for that? And if the first 80% doesn't bias the language after post-training (which I think is what you're claiming) why not go for English or a mixture of lan…

The whole point of this project is to have an LLM that speaks European Portuguese, not Brazilian Portuguese.

Presumably they're making the leap that this printing technology can be leveraged to develop an alternative display technology that would change the structure in real time, kind of…

I'd say Skyrim was just around the border where you started to get engines which uncoupled physics from FPS. This only really matters for competitive games though, so it's not surp…

Are the quake, goldsource, source, etc engines jank? Because they all did this, to some extent. It might be harder to find an engine from the early 2010's that didn't tie at least …

> If you have a diode, then the transistor is only a small step away. It is not. We've had semiconductor diodes since 1874, but it took many decades to develop the solid state phys…

Considering two Germans in Paris independently discovered the transistor just a few months after Shockley's team, this seems like a self-serving fantasy: https://www.computerhistor…

And the other side would say that if we cut welfare spending we'd have a reasonable debt to GDP ratio. It's very much political and it's a joke to pretend otherwise.

Nvidia subsidized machine learning research for years (both with CUDA, hardware donations and developing what was a very niche product line just for them) before deep learning beca…

The velocity factor is usually 0.6-0.7, never seen it as low as 0.5. And it's set by the dielectric, not the conducting material.

No, the problem is getting a high power (hundreds of watts) and high uptime EUV source, there's no reason to think this is a step towards that at the moment.

That post was not at all worth my time, it just cherry picked data without ever putting it together to show intentional price manipulation or monopolistic behavior (no, showing con…

Those are pretty extraordinary claims with very little evidence. And, even if they are true, the obvious solution would be to enforce the already existing antitrust and competition…

Both BJTs and FETs have intrinsic exponential/logarithmic behaviors (at low biases) due to charge density being given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution since electrons are fermions.

Source? I've only seen him post religious stuff on his personal social media.
