The idea is that eventually the power demand for AI compute will be too great to satisfy by terrestrial means.

Just use an LLM to make a good knowledge base for the databases. Based on schema info and production queries. An agent can use that to write queries that work.

When people put together memos or decks in the last, even if that weren’t read very carefully, at least they reassured management that someone had actually things through. But that…

> “deeply off the rails” How sheltered are you people? Scott Adams was a pretty standard non-woke boomer. Do you think that just because you don’t hear certain opinions in the work…

I kept meaning to tune in again to his livestream before the end. It was always a good listen as he went over the news with his dry sense of humour and judgment on fact vs fiction.…

But the driver isn’t reacting to any of the LiDAR readings, only what they can see, so what is the point?

How do you train a model to drive with LiDAR when the human drivers who generate the training data don’t use LiDAR?

According to the paper you posted (interesting analysis), it’s not just low-vol assets, but good quality ones. Also, they would no doubt do a lot more buying of undervalued (good q…

When people say undervalued in this context, they usually mean it has a low price to earnings ratio. Intel is definitely not that - although it could still be a good bet if you hav…

So, best investor ever? (Not counting people who built enterprises, just people whose trade was to invest.) I plan to buy some BRK stock. I’m sure it will be a good investment. But…

Not quite right. The pivot was from good companies at a great price to great companies at a good price (unless you can get a great price, but that’s unlikely). Over the long run th…

Think of Tesla as a well-funded pharmaceutical company that has invented a cure for a widespread ailment (call it “driving”) and now is waiting on regulatory approval.

The elegant syntax that is close to plain English sets it apart. (It’s not so pretty these days though with all these type hints and other cruft that’s been added in the last ten y…

Maybe it’s only visible to me https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_5a484c29-ec2d-47e1-977e-c300...

I posted something similar from Grok 9 months ago, although it was “flagged” for some reason. the link still works. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43260083

Sold most of my BTC off at $120k, but kept a chunk not as an investment but as a sort of emergency fund that could be useful if for some reason I ever find myself needing to transa…

The contract would obviously not be no strings attached.

Yes. The capital is not needed immediately, but they have agreed to provide it if/when called upon in future.

They integrated it into Google search immediately so I think a lot of people will bother less with ChatGPT when a google search is just as effective.

Commitments here means money that people have agreed to lend them in future.

I use Grok more than other LLMs. It’s built into X, so the use case of pressing the Grok button on a post to see an explanation for something I didn’t understand, or a fact check f…

It’s actually refreshing that the two bosses resigned over this. Means it’s not just an empty apology followed by business as usual with no consequences.

What were you working on that had trillions of events per hour?

I wonder what is the relative utility of giving donations to some charity that solicits them with ads or calls, vs just doing something obvious like writing a cheque to the local o…
