We will not reverse climate change by consuming less. The solutions are equally political and technological. Driving a smaller vehicle does help but real solutions would be: buildi…

I have taken a few cars on that drive. Adding in traffic, I usually have to fill up at the gas station just outside of Boston that has the burger king in it. In my Mirage can get m…

Mitsubishi just discontinued the car line that I drive [0]. The Mirage was great. I can drive from NYC to Boston on ~10 gallon. The only downsides were: No arm wrest, no sunglasses…

If they did have a super powerful secret AI why would avoid: 1. Selling access to the US? 2. Ship more and better software? 3. Talk about it publicly? If you had a secret AI better…

What would the benefit of this be? If China stops open weights, US labs still have the intelligence frontier. Maybe once Chinese models have speed, cost, and intelligence beat but …

You would need to demonstrate an impact for a line item that big. A 3k person org at $200/seat would be >$7mill/year. That places you very well into self hosting Kimi K3 territory …

> With Zig you usually only need the Zig toolchain, which runs just fine in a regular Windows cmd.exe. It's amazing how complicated we made things with bad software engineering and…

> And second, I am completely uninterested in what AI has to offer. To me (and most normal people) knowledge pursuit is about inspiring others with discovery and the intellectual j…

Yes, exactly. The idea was that people could be content with our system if people's material conditions were good. We seem to have lost this insight and continued for the next 50-6…

This is not always a great idea. Especially if you have a water proofing membrane that allows drying out. You never want to trap moisture in a cavity. You want to be able to dry in…

Neither is grout. Grout is water permiable. You shower is water proof from the water proof backing we install the tile on top of. Cement board + roll on or something like kerdi sys…

How is this more expensive than a Stream Deck? Shouldn't OpenAI be able to undercut existing software / hardware stacks due to how automated their engineering team is? https://open…

When people ask for a commercial service hookup there is usually a charge to bring transformers and service lines to the building. This is a constant cost based on the load. The in…

Forcing all costs into externalities is also not ideal. Right now, some state's systems, force residential consumers to pay for new infrastructure for new demand while only minimal…

What kind of harness does the exploration? Where did the corpus of Lean proofs come from? Is the code backing Ton 618 open source?

I've found a good balance in looking through sessions based on user feedback (ex: user thumbs down and submits it into a review queue) to build an understanding of usage patterns a…

I think part of this is the organization of the training. Cuba trains doctors for likely much less than $500k USD. Also, the training we give to a US solider is very expensive but …

There was an article posted on HN recently about the asymmetry in cost of providing an ambulance service vs the cost of the per-ride service. The cost of a medical degree, and the …

Medicine and jokes

I assume that the reMarkable here would mainly just be used to capture the writing. It could then be examined by an LLM asynchronously.

Do you have an email? Most of these are going to be medical books. Would love to connect.

I inherited a large (to me) collection of books from the USSR from my grandfather who immigrated here. Do you know how someone could find a collector or something who would appreci…

Since you know the size of the file beforehand you may be able to overfit some kind of text diffusion model instead of a transformer? May allow you to partially correct the model o…

I wonder how close OpenAI is getting to using the memory they purchased. Are they planning to stack a huge amount of HBM2 into these chips?
