Thank you very much! Lots of reading to do today :3

Even easier if you reverse sear. Put it in the oven at 275 for like 25 minutes. Then put it in the hottest pan you can muster for like 45 seconds per side. No need to bring it up t…

I’ve heard there’s misinformation regarding water use. As far as I’ve heard, these data centers use quite a bit. I imagine they just use them for cooking and spit it back out warme…

I know you’re joking, but unironically this might be untrue. One catalyst might be something only found in cities! Granted, you could always replace the city with the catalyst of c…

The point is that LLMs are doing human-ish things on their own, and that's what the value in them is, so OP is bringing attention to the fact that the tradeoff is "thinks dynamical…

Also kids...?

Don’t feel bad for them. It’s not something to feel bad about. We pay taxes specifically for instances including when something goes wrong. Feel mad if this is a pattern and the ci…

Not done growing until 26. The law says you’re an adult at 18, but that’s not even a little true. 18 year olds are children.

Y-yeah, that’s my point. The fact that there are no batteries means that instead of considering how it operates with a dirty battery (the only other option here), we consider how i…

> You seem to be quite keen to keep making the false dichotomy that a project can be either "economically viable with fossil fuel inputs" or "just for fun", but that is obviously n…

Right, and if you read the first paragraph, you’d see it’s meant to increase and decrease power consumption based on demand. How are they gonna turn up the damn wind, WJW? Is this …

It doesn't have to be modern to be a miracle. The steam engine is one, too! I think this is still true of FFCS rockets, but maybe we're just wondering at different things in this w…

It's talking about the economic inputs required to create a unit of energy. Literally all you have to fathom is "can we add up what it takes to make a watt of energy from coal, vs.…

I thought the same thing, but actually, no. Fossil fuel plants are expensive to run. "That they are already here" is an argument for plants which are more advanced and thus, much m…

Wrong. Natural gas is the most common catalyst, but plenty of plants use oil, coal, and other hydrocarbons. A quick refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process#Process

It’s mot powered with fossil fuels. It uses fossil fuels as an ingredient.

No they don’t. They remain subsidized. Solar surpassed fossil fuels in efficiency ages ago, and I don’t even LIKE solar. Fossil fuels have no redeeming qualities in the major energ…

Imagine being a recruiter, seeing someone genuinely interested in the position (or at least willing to put in the effort to make it seem that way), and getting annoyed rather than …

There’s nothing logical about trying to make non-oxidizing metal that can handle thousands of degrees of temperature, hundreds of bars of pressure, and a nearly pure-oxygen environ…

I can’t imagine how inefficient a country would be if they tamped down all their magical thinking. FFCS, SMILE, and EUVL are all magical thinking if you ask me. Some of the crazies…

What an unreasonably complex device to imply you’re going to make 50,000 copies of and ship out to every border agent in the nation after telling them every SINGLE flash drive cros…

Doubt this will change the calculus much. Why would I care if GPT puts an ad for medicine in the bottom of a message during a medical conversation? I’d pay big bucks to get medicin…

I would kill myself and the patent holder before considering paying for ads

lol, a big part of security is being smart enough to never challenge the bored…

It sucks you’re the only person on earth who is altruistic enough for this thing that would definitely work but you’re choosing not to enact it despite it being so easy it’s a simp…
