Can you name some of the innovation happening in ICE vehicles? Just some terms I can search for would be appreciated. Thanks!
South Ameria has been using bio ethanol as a fuel for a while now, it's cheaper and uses crops, there are projects to bring that to North Amerixa and the rest of the world!

Wait... what? You've invested half a million into AI porn? Seriously!? I'm morbidly curious: how do you plan to recoup your costs? I assume porn is so trivial to get for free that it must be a relatively low profit industry...
No, I'm not building porn! (Not that there's anything wrong with those that are.) I conflated GenAI as a whole and I see how my post is interpreted now. My mistake. I always think of the oft-quoted meme about porn being the canary in the coal mine for the adoption of new tech: film, VHS, usenet, web, P2P, Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit, streaming, VR, AI... I think the trend has held pretty well historically. NovelAI, Civit,…

Veritasium explains visually how quantum computers can break the current cryptography, taking the RSA signature as an example.
Commodity RISCV chips. Some of these have just entered mass production, such as the CH32V003 (10 cents each in 1k quantities). https://github.com/cnlohr/ch32v003fun Fully open source stack!

Doesn’t bio ethanol take more fossil fuel energy to create than it replaces?
I'm not very well versed in the subject but this should point you in the right direction!

On the other hand, no they won't. People with nothing to write about talked about games and movies converging for years and they never even came close. The closest you could say was games have a narrative woven in. Movies are passive and everything is intentional. Games are fundamentally about interactivity. They are practically opposite forms of entertainment. I don't even know what you mean by 'social will converge…
Oh hey! You're the person who was telling me half a year ago that AI porn wouldn't be a thing [1, 2]. I'm wholly confident you're just as wrong about this, and I'd even put my money on it [3]. Here's my prediction: - Stories, narratives, characters, and game loops will become generative. Their capacity to generate new unseen and unwritten content will be heralded as revolutionary. - The quality of games and GenAI wil…

It seems they’re in a unique position because sugar cane grows there, is used in industry, and the leftovers that aren’t usable for anything else can be turned into fuel.
I had no idea Brazil has a unique bio ethanol industry, thanks for sharing.

Speaking of cyclical IT, my estimate is going “forward” to the terminal/mainframe-esque concept of simple and cheap “terminals” aka laptops that you use to log into a much beefier “mainframe” aka cloud workstation. I’m at a FAANGMULA and I’ve been using a cloud workstation from my cheap laptop as my daily driver for months now. The VM is so much higher-spec’d than what they would have bought me for a desktop. Just do…
> FAANGMULA killin' me smalls.
Only somebody who does not work at FAANG uses FAANGMULA, so why not just go with MULA.
Drone tech, satellite tech, phone applications for war (I assume), and bringing war to social media are actively changing the state of warfare as we know it in Ukraine. The idea that violence isn't necessarily bad and can also be a force for good is something I think will change the tech landscape. A lot of those people at google who said no to killer robots are probably having second thoughts, being one of those typ…
i hope we get some starlink competitors.
On a more serious note, I always wanted to start a waste management company for Earth's geosynchronous orbit. I am pretty sure tech in that sector is booming.
