$20/kg is a wild claim. A typical American semi-truck (18-wheeler) can carry between 40,000 and 45,000 pounds (20 to 22.5 tons) can travel only 160k miles (2/3 distance to the Moon…

You're right about reason #1. And you've probably heard about strong contenders for #2 and #3. There's a famous quote attributed to the Italian military commander Gian Giacomo Triv…

You're thinking of a perfect world. We're not in it. In this one there are often thousands of applicants for a position, most of which can't pass FizzBuzz. Why would they (or anyon…

No worries. My point is, if you get asked questions that seem simple to the point where you feel they're asking if "water is wet", then you need to keep your own thinking process e…

The example you've provided just adds noise. sha256 is deterministic, LLMs are not, even at temperature set to 0.

For Jevons paradox to be a win-win, you need these 3 statements to be true: 1)Workers get more productive thanks to AI. 2)Higher worker productivity translates into lower prices. 3…
