I love your enthusiasm so let me share some hard-won learnings with you. In my view, entrepreneurs spend way too little time on the problem space and rather jump into the solution …

Friends is a big word, the EU has a vested interest in getting cheap gas from as many sources as possible at this point and a direct oil and gas pipeline to Europe would definitely…

It would be a mistake to work with China for several reasons. The EU needs to be in a position where it can decide what is best for Europeans and not be strong-armed or overly depe…

Exactly, it's just that producing them in the EU is a lot more expensive. On this, Trump's policy of putting tariffs on chips manufactured in Taiwan makes sense to make it worthwhi…

As a general principle, if you are hurt by _words_ then the problem is you and not the other person. Those prigs exist but they're just emotionally immature and adopt a victim-caus…

Hey, I'm commenting on this post to not disrupt the active H-1B thread but from what you mentioned there it seems like you could be a good fit. Per introduction, I am an experience…

Accounting systems are super hard when you do them wrong and kind of trivial when you do it right. There is no in-between. Martin fowler wrote quite a bit on the subject and it's a…

Adronaline | Senior hardware engineer | Full-time | Ukraine or REMOTE Smart ammunitions are held hostage by electronics vendors founded 100 years ago. We are working on a G-hardene…

No need for fertilizer ships. The delivery of material to the center of Ocean vertices is essentially free. Any floating body winds up there eventually I wrote about it here: https…

They're the solution to climate change also. The center is infertile and can be seeded with fertilizer and algae that can then die off and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Cryptonomicon is one of the best reads on the planet, it's famous.

It's probably part of the initiative to create hypersonic bombers and cruise missiles as a counter to China. It's a waste of money though as the Ukraine war showed that the Russian…

The US has squatting laws, if you are living (uncontested) in a property for a determined period you can claim title. There are always gaps in emerging economies and this rule is o…

Try marketing, being a software engineer is a great force multiplier there and most marketers are absolutely awful.

Depends on the person I guess, but yes. Humans are more accurate for now.

oh ok, I used 400 calories/day and not 400 kcal/day. Yea, then the numbers are off by 1000

Where did you get the 20 Watt from? My number is based on calorie usage

The comparison doesn't really hold. He is comparing energy spend during inference in humans with energy spend during training in LLM's. Humans spend their lifetimes training their …

Humans have dog-loving emotions but these can be reversed over time and one can hardly describe dogs as being free. Even with a dedicated control system, it would be a matter of ti…

One element I find interesting is that people without an amygdala function are essentially completely indecisive. A person that just operates on the pure cognitive layer has no rea…

I wonder if that would have a proof like the halting problem

Hinton's point does make sense though. Even if you focus an AGI on producing more cars for example, it will quickly realize that if it has more power and resources it can make more…

Not on its own but in numbers it could. Similar to how law-abiding citizens turn on law-breaking citizens today or more old-fashioned, how religious societies turn on heretics. I d…
