Meh. I guess people like the style. The Honda Cub had far more impact worldwide and is a superior machine in every aspect.

pg doesn't support this, so I don't buy these conspiracy theories.

We got so far with transformers and huge amounts of compute and huge amounts of data. If we can get an architecture that is able to extract a slightly higher order of reasoning it …

With all the capital behind these LLM companies, I would be surprised if we don't see any architectural improvements that lead to better reasoning. Training bigger and bigger model…

Populism is just democracy taking the reigns back from the entrenched political establishment. There is nothing democratic about a social class of bureaucrats gatekeeping all polit…

From a game theoretical perspective this is a good result. It is a clear reiteration of the message to the Democrats: you won't win by claiming to be 0.1% less bad. The Democrats s…

There is just no upside to founding your tech startup in the EU. You'll just be at a disadvantage. And as long as we have a unified US/EU market, this is not something that can be …

My reading of this: the EU wants to give its old fashioned SME software houses a chance with their software products, against the likes of FAANG that typically offer the software f…

I'm very happy with this one and in general I agree with the theories put forth. That press release is a bit fucked though. Where did European colonizers create inclusive economic …

No, you will ruin your life.

If this was politics, "impressive" wouldn't be the adjective used.

Why is there only one Apple, anyway? It does not make sense to me. Their niche is luxury consumerism + overbearing paternalism. I don't think that is hard to replicate. Since Black…

I think, most people who want to be immortal are actually motivated by either the fear of death, or the desire to travel far and experience life in the future. But these are distin…

Not directly answering your question, but if I were in your exact position, I would consult for local startups. I don't mean, being a programmer for hire. I mean actual expertise c…

Here's a question since everyone keeps bringing up the DotCom bubble. Although the bubble burst, have not the people who were building in the 1999, still more than made up for thei…

Could we not one day come up with an AI that is more empathetic than the average human?

I'm in my 30s but I'm feeling this so hard. Growing up we used to have these kid/youth centres that were run by local Catholic organizations. We used to hang out there after school…

Ah, my memory is failing me, but I wanted to recommend you a career path. IIRC it was about creating formal certifications for industry to follow. It includes little actual maths, …

DISCLAIMER: If you have back/spine problems and you delay surgery because you hope the problem would go away on its own, with healthy living, you might end up with damaged/dead ner…

AI is not rocket science. It's child's play compared to space tech.

What exactly is causing the fiction? Is it that there are some laws that make cross-border funding a challenge? Or is it simply that it is hard to network and gain the confidence o…

What difference does a "working financial market" make? What would be different if the company was based in mainland Europe? Wouldn't Microsoft and Nvidia still be able to invest?

I agree that the problem is not entirely to be blamed on the respective governments. The lack of private investment is a fundamental part of the puzzle. I have been trying to figur…

I should be for this, because this is how I make my living in the most literal sense. But to be honest, I am dismayed with how the ecosystem works in the EU. Billions upon billions…
