Also it’s really hard to start exercising if you’re already depressed.

Because this is amazing PR? Just following the Anthropic rulebook.

There’s the pro-growth Abundance faction, but they’re captured by special interests, so they’re predictably advocating for supply-side YIMBYism and relaxed regulation, without addr…

This isn’t gonna work, space isn’t truly empty. Even with antimatter propulsion the interstellar medium will start to vaporize your ship at speed above 0.2c.

It’s highly unlikely we’re ever getting FTL. We should become comfortable with that and let go our fantasies. Let theoretical physicists chug away at this, we should get underway w…

Or just ask any model to do it for you.

From the title I thought it’d be a timer for the agent itself, so it doesn’t waste time on endless thinking loops, etc.

Life wouldn’t be here if mitochondria only accumulated damage. We can do in the lab what biology does in the wild - introduce selection pressures. Either by sequencing iPSC clones …

It still won’t help unless the AI bubble pops. Even old fabs will continue pumping out HBM instead of DRAM as long as hyperscalers gobble it up.

This meme is 100% true in western Europe.

It is scientifically proven cognitive performance starts falling above 22C, but feel free to continue your baseless moralizing.

It’s not different if you’re used to. Heat acclimation is a real thing, but it won’t magically beat physics if wet bulb temperature hits body temperature.

It’s possible to boot Linux in seconds, it’d just be a terrible developer experience.

“Why not just provide an email address that's delivered directly to the agents you have developing Oak?” Genuinely can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

This feeling of being defeated by and trapped inside the “machine” and seeing the “truth” is exactly what the “machine” would want you to do. The actual red pill is that there’s no…

Plus it’s not like some absolutely enormous data centers, only 300MW.

Derek Thompson keeps banging his neoliberal drum in the face of (what he sees as) literal extinction. We need GDP, growth, yada yada. Just another 1% of GDP growth bro, it’ll fix e…

Is it? Literally nothing even remotely similar from the book is happening in reality beyond the lobsters’ broken command of language being similar to early GPTs, but even they seem…

It’s debatable whether data centers is “civilization”. Civilization, in theory, should be a a benefit to all. Data centers provide basically zero benefit to communities where they …

You’re not running a BSD on an embedded device with full driver support any time soon. Linux won this space.

Hey, he MIGHT be that CEO one day. Currently he’s temporarily embarrassed billionaire.

“Regulatory capture”? This term means something very specific and doesn’t apply in this case at all.

I agree, it’s just a failure of imagination. Some folks correctly foresee not being able to continue what we’re doing now in the exact same way in some new context and conclude eve…

Everyone should have a smartphone, just not necessarily a closed down and enshittified one.

We MADE the energy expensive.
