Nature does have the ability to care unless you postulate that humans aren’t part of nature.

No energy source producing the required amounts to run civilization will be non-disruptive to wildlife and the environment. But perfect is the enemy of good. Renewable energy sourc…

As a German I am highly confused by US actions. America is sabotaging its own economic future, demonizing independent renewable natural energy sources (you don’t need to import win…

My hunch is that AI tools are probabilistically good enough to deceive most casual users in the beginning, so beliefs are built on these foundations. LLMs handle simple tasks reaso…

My brain was already perfectly conditioned not to pay attention to screens 30 years ago. Now my JOB is to look at screens, I am confronted with screens in public and I am expected …

This is absolutely not why there are no leading AI, other important silicon tech, or relevant space companies in Europe. To some degree they exist but are all B-Tier in comparison …

Xenophobic from whose perspective...? For Europeans, every EU alternative should be strongly considered to help reduce dependency risks wherever possible.

I work with LLMs extensively and daily and they are very useful. BUT dear god, absolutely nothing about them is intelligent. If you work at the edge of context you know what I mean…

And why would it materialize? Anyone who has used even modern models like Opus 4.6 in very long and extensive chats about concrete topics KNOWS that this LLM form of Artificial Int…

This is a problem with nearly all predictions about the future. Everything is just a linear extrapolation of the status quo. How could a system have predicted the invention of the …

Just goes to show that biology is WAY more complicated than "if you want to prevent X then do Y" - especially at microbilogical scale. Genes influence each other for example, so by…

You are responding to someone with a sex-based racist slur as their username.

This is all a great way of describing why art works as a money laundering or tax evasion scheme.

Yes, absolutely but I found it funny anyway!

Congrats, first time I noticeably hear my MBP M4 Pro fans and can feel the temperature through the keyboard. Amazing work, as always. I love neal.fun Edit: also good to know that p…

Uh yea, thats because we tax everyone to hell EXCEPT the rich. Wealth inequality is a serious problem and we are moving to catastrophe sooner rather than later on the current path.…

I even curated a list of 6-8 sources in NotebookLM recently, asked a very straight-forward question (which credential formats does OID4VP allow). The sources were IETF and OpenID s…

That's only really value if the chips are useful and if there are people buying the chips for something they want to do with them. It's entirely based on the perception that LLM tr…

What does Ellisons personal wealth have to do with this? The concern is that the circular pattern of shifting money between these companies is artificially inflating the stock mark…

This is why I am really looking forward to PIDs in the European Digital Identity ecosystem (EUDI) [1]. This works with the OpenID Verifiable Credentials spec built on top of Oauth2…

Probably a "the dose makes the poison" kind of thing? Constant inflammation and exposure to inflammatory agents could eventually raise the likelihood of cell damage in affected tis…

In the scale of the universe this is bound to happen, likely infinite times anyway and this is what feels rather weird to me. Not just the perceived "special circumstances" but tha…

This lie is still being spread in economics classes?

How are you getting these results? Even with grounding in sources, careful context engineering and whatever technique comes to your mind we are just getting sloppy junk out of all …

LLMs are just a stock price preserving excuse to do layoffs from previous overhiring.
