Roughly, these satellites would be as bright as the sun, except at night when you're adapted to dark conditions. With the naked eye it'd just be unpleasant, because the dot is so s…

> What intelligence are we missing that is needed to solve climate change? Cheaper solar and batteries? Effective drilling for geothermal? Working cost-effective fusion plants? Ear…

My claim that Mary's extraordinary ability to get peaches whenever she wants is due to humanity's collective intelligence is not at all a claim that Mary wants peaches because she'…

...only very marginally more? What property, if not intelligence, do you think makes people capable of rallying political support? Of working quickly though permit processes? Of pr…

Indeed. Humans and not other apes reached the moon by our great proclivity to long distance running, through our exceptional sweat glands... ah, wait. How is it possible to live in…

They account for this. > Primary energy is based on the substitution method and measured in terawatt-hours.

Anybody old enough to remember when https://imagen.research.google/video/ was SOTA?

The simplest explanation is surely that China is new to having a highly educated workforce and the ‘failed for some fifty years’ claims the article makes don't mean much given it. …

I have libertarian enough tendencies to think that if a person wants to self-operate, or pay for an operation that doctors are telling them is not justified given the evidence, the…

This is fair, but I think it's better stated as you did than couched in language suggesting it's a matter of principle.

This style of argument has always bothered me, because the correction to misdiagnosis or mistreatment is not to stop looking, it's _git gud_. For sure, we have to be realistic abou…

Wow this paper is bad. I was expecting little and received genuine crackpottery. It's hard to critique this paper directly because its claims are so incoherent and decorated with s…

You don't have to argue the opposite of a prediction to disbelieve sources with poor track records.

I broadly agree those are good to consider (a typical requirement for my own designs is to fit the KIK format as-is), but I think you're being a little too absolute. Enclave deserv…

A few locks like you describe are Enclave, andy pugh's, Built Different Design's, Carl L. Lambert's, and Michel Robert's.

You can't normally describe it as profit because stocks by rule trade at a fair price, but it's surely reasonable to consider in this case GME making a profit from the squeeze give…

I wasn't saying you would have that experience, I was saying that the reason people act like transducers are unique is that transducers are an unconventional place on well worn gro…

Fundamentally, there are two ways of representing iteration pipelines: source driven, and drain driven. This almost always maps to the idea of _internal_ iteration and _external_ i…

Do you not... remember? The US life expectancy is 79 years. 7.9 years ago was late May 2018. The best LLM was... wait, there weren't any. There was ELMo, an embedding model. It was…

It turns out there is literally no amount of being publicly right about a longshot bet sufficient for people to conclude you hold your beliefs because you think they are true.

More than anything it's a supply limit. Solar is consistently scaling about as fast as any manufacturing industry scales. The TAM is just big.

I think the idea is that in an always-on display mode, most of the screen is black and the rest is dim, so circuitry power budget becomes a much larger fraction of overhead.

There's a very simple solution to this problem here. Instead of wink-wink-nudge-nudge implying that 100% is 'human baseline', calculate the median human score from the data you alr…
