They aren't in the black at all, let alone "insanely" so. Maybe if they just did commercial launches on falcon 9, but instead they've been shoveling those "huge margins" straight b…

I can just see the meeting where the apple developers pitched this. "Some of our users want to stare at their black rectangles for 18 hours a day but unfortunately have to take a b…

"If agi and perfect humanoid robot slaves, then xyz". That's a motherfucking big "if".

The impacts haven't really been seen yet because Japan is still on the flat apex of the population curve, but the rollercoaster is about to start diving. https://www.ipss.go.jp/pp-…

This argument gets trotted out every time but it doesn't convince me of anything. Yes, calling things out creates an incentive for people to hide them, but so what? Setting aside t…

Anubis is one alternative, kinda sucks that we need to slow down the web for everyone a little bit though.

Anthropic have only scraped together a month of profitability by cooking the books. They have an extreme compute discount from spacex that only applies for the first couple of mont…

That quote is not from the article and has nothing to do with the article, what is going on here?

I could spend 20 minutes coding in a headset but there's no way could I spend an hour doing it.

It also doesn't help that they probably sell tokens below cost.

Nethack is best played completely spoiled with the wiki open at all times. You'll miss the amazing interactions and stuff otherwise, and it is still challenging either way. It was …

ssh nethack@us.hardfought.org It has been updated, and there are also eu/au region servers.

2B ARR at what cost base?

A NAS is just an example, here's a better one; I love to use my old phones as wall mounted displays and controls for home assistant, or as remote music players plugged in to some s…

Ignores the cost of model training, R&D, managing the data centers and more. OpenAI etc regularly admit that all their products lose money. Not to mention the fact that it isn't en…

AI doesn't have hopes and desires or something it would rather be doing. It has a utility function that it will optimise for regardless of all else. This doesn't change when it get…

Encrypted data on the servers is only useful if your server is just dumb storage. I want the server to actually do something, e.g. serving media, running home assistant etc.

This sounds like the same behaviour from introducing fines for overdue library books or being late picking up children from day-care. It goes from a social olbigation or question (…

Get a room full of USA citizens: "Put your hand up if you want more manufacturing in the USA." "Ok thanks, hands down. Now put your hand up if you want to work in a factory".

There are many reasons why that you're dismissing with a wave of the hand. But regardless, we are both in agreement that sending robots right now is the wise decision.

It depends how you are defining "better". Much cheaper and safer sure, but also much slower and much more limited. If it was me making the decisions I'd still go with robots, but I…

Keeping them alive and returning them doesn't require "a leap" which is the central point of OP I am disagreeing with. We have all the technology, material science etc to do it. Su…

Humans are better at exploring and doing science than rovers, they could get things done a lot quicker and better. They can repair things and are very adaptable. A mission to spend…
