Yeah, the issue with your example is that it's not a desalination plant serving local customers, but rather the entire world via a network. So rural customers have to pay for negat…

How do you actually know that? Do you fully believe the media and media-adjacent NGO reports of these numbers? You need to understand the level of manipulation going on here. Are y…

I mean one could say they are taking action when they lock up and kill random immigrants... or getting into unnecessary wars in the middle east. I would hardly call that a measure …

I think you’re being overly combative. It’s intuitively quite obvious that it’s incredibly easy to implement and the circular training catastrophe was only ever a conjecture. It’s …

I'm sure they are doing more than looking at mouse movements, but I don't think this is a compelling approach -- I think human movements could be faked pretty easily using a large …

I think what you're saying might be a stretch. I strongly believe the brain holds some information in a sequential pattern -- not necessarily all of it or even the majority of it. …

Wow amazing. I am very curious how the spider "learns" to do this technique, that it works, and to repeat it. Is this somehow encoded in the DNA of the spider? Clearly spiders don'…

I don't fully understand how this works... who regulates and defines what is "self-hosted" or "ethical technology"... I feel you can't really solve the distributed consensus and go…

I don't think you can really blame AI agents for this. While I agree the user was using AI irresponsibly, some of the blame does go to Railway for making an API key that allows for…

No, they are able to detect errors when pointed at them but they have a lot of false positives... making them functionally useless for a large unknown codebase. They also can't bui…

They are bringing in $30B in revenue with 3X YoY growth. Why do you think it is a "jig"? I do think the US economy could implode, but thats because of war and wealth inequality in …

They basically wrote the equivalent to Claude Code and launched it as a product... how does their adoption curve lag behind John Deere?

I don't find this paper very compelling. Obviously it would be fraud if the code generated simply escaped the harness vs solving the actual problem. I agree that theoretically mode…

Mind blowing! I've had this intuition for a while too, but he really gets into the heart of it.

I think there are a lot of good answers here, but it really comes down to the type of content being stored and access patterns. A database is a data structure with (generally) many…

Not only is it no better, it is significantly worse.

What's your source for this? There isn't really a lot of credible, publicly available information on what you're saying... just anecdotes. In the India v. Pakistan conflict recentl…

No one wants to liberate Iran. Israel just wants to continue committing genocide and apartheid without any opposition. Iran arms Hezbollah and Hamas, the main forms of Palestinian …

It's better than using randomly initialized weights. It's more of a theoretical exercise to explore biology. When an infant is born maybe the visual cortex already has some notion …
