This is really fascinating. The actual mechanisms of the human mind are distinct from computer systems, yet there are some parallels. There are some hints that increased memory access times scale with the amount of…
I have the same questions about human mathematicians! I can't tell if xkcd #435 is still true, or if math is just as mushy as everything else seems to be. When a math proof can only be understood by a handful of people,…
Aluminum is generally thought to be benign by most authorities. However, it is worth noting that humans were not exposed to aluminum in the environment until relatively recently, when we started extracting it from…
> Management thinks they are absolutely replaceable. Even more, when the concept of "AI agent" appeared on their radars, they were the first people who they thought they're gonna replace. This is the way of the world. I…
I've thought about this comment a lot over the past 3 days. It was the top comment in this discussion for a while. People think about the world differently. Is there really no room for anyone to disagree with you…
A few hundred jobs a day doesn't seem like it would even be close to what postgres could handle easily, does it? I'm thinking of the problem as using a small amount of text to represent the work that needs to be done…
Good information, Broadcom is a playa, lots and lots of acquisitions! (a quick google search turns up a very eventful history for Broadcom) > From personal experience, executives and leadership who started off in the…
I recently put 2+2 together. Broadcom has become wealthy by being Google's TPU hardware partner, including sharing their TSMC capacity with Google, and evidently now they are doing the same thing with OpenAI. What a…

Some of these videos are the result of FOIA requests. Please, make FOIA requests and post these videos where the police are acting so egregiously. We deserve to know the truth about this! Some less than…

You could sanitize and disinfect with that alcohol! You could also make extracts of any plants nearby that were useful. Whiskey and vanilla beans are sufficient to make vanilla extract!
This sounds a lot like what SST does (which also uses Pulumi). Do you consider them a competitor? I would guess by focusing on Python that you can provide a tighter experience than SST. Is that your plan?
Note that you aren't providing evidence either :) Providing evidence is tricky, because most evidence hints rather than proves, so it's very subject to confirmation bias and is easily dismissed by those who disagree.…
Not a doctor either. Japan seems to love creating fat soluble forms of thiamine. I've been experimenting with a form of thiamine called TTFD. TTFD is synthetic, there's a natural form called allithiamine, derived from…
my m4max macbook can run local inference on a medium-ish gemini model (32b IIRC). The power consumption spikes by about 120 watts over idle (with multiple electron apps, docker, etc). It runs about 70 tokens/sec and…
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I’m similar to you in this regard, but I’ve been thinking about the frailty of human knowledge lately. We get it wrong a lot. It will be interesting to see how the vax debate and…
jq has >20k stars on GitHub. I use it mostly for little cli utilities, so maybe it isn’t an exact refutation of your claim. [0] https://github.com/stedolan/jq
I wonder if the difference in experience might be related to how close one is to diabetes. A lot of people are in various stages of pre-diabetes, I've had fasting blood sugar measurements around 110 mg/dl, which is…
I'm an American who grew up in the midwest.
I could stand to be more educated, so please give me something to educate me instead of calling me disingenuous. I am willing to listen to arguments that explain how it is that the Democratic party has been able to shed…
I don't have a lot of time to think about this right now, but generally I do agree that the right is learning how to ridicule and using it more. I'm curious about your association of slavery with conservatism. It's…
Thank you for the post. I can hear the frustration in your writing. Or perhaps, it's my own frustration that I'm projecting on to you. More and more, I'm wondering about the proposition that the "left vs right" battle…
I simply meant that my experience is that those on the right don't deploy ridicule as much when dissent is expressed. I'm not speaking to the individual issues you listed at all, of course we disagree on some of those…
