True. That's why we probably need another mechanism for incentivizing high-risk/high-reward/multi-decennial research. Perhaps, even if LK99 is not real, something interesting will mutate out of it: some kind of platform…

"In no case may a prize amount be divided between more than three persons." [1] Sad state of affairs to expect a reward for brilliance and to have science bottlenecked by a merchant of death. Just the fact that the…
Interestingly enough, penny pushing also destroys capitalism, see The Man Who Broke Capitalism: How Jack Welch Gutted the Heartland and Crushed the Soul of Corporate America―and How to Undo His Legacy [1]. [1]…
There is no use in synthesizing (C6H6O·CH2O)n [1] (or LK-99, to be actual, real or not) that is not cost effective. It's precisely this penny pusher rhetoric which in the end will make China win, deservedly so. [1]…
We are ridiculously far from physical limits in our current artificial computers (both theoretical [1], and practical [2]). For more technical details see Jim Keller: [3] [4] [5]. [1]…

"I am the publisher now."
Until a synthetic agent will be here we can only guess. The current best guesses seem to have to do with the free energy principle, active inference, Markov blankets [1]. It might be just that simple: it's what happens…
Just avoiding the inevitable I suppose: June 22, 2023, "Ford agrees to $9.2 billion US government loan" [1]. That's the joke in the end: there are no companies (and there is no government), just a bunch of chaebols [2],…
It's in the first paragraph of the linked article [1]. They were called "loans" in the government-speak of the post-2008 crash, but if you look at the semantics, they were just risk-free bailouts. [1] "the U.S.…
An "everything app" is just an operating system. There is nothing to picture, we've been having them since the 1950s [1]. We could imagine some new way of operating over systems: for instance the Alan Kay original…
Watched 1978, Blue Collar [1] recently, given also the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike, and was thinking on the forced master-slave dialectic [2] between the union representative and the worker, the proliferation of…
There was a trend in the paper blogs, the diaries of 1930s [1], probably when they were at peak, of authors whining about authorship, perhaps due to an esprit du mal of the epoch: to whom does one write for? And the…
"I suggested we use a strong cloth tape to close seams, and make tab of same. It worked fine, I showed it to different government inspectors they said it was all right, but I could never get them to change tape." Vesta…
Curiously enough, not really, from the post: Excuse me, is it "duct" or "duck" tape? I mean sure, "duct tape" and "duck tape" are both fine. "Duct tape" is the more common name today. The older name is "duck tape" after…
Not sure where you picked nihilism in my reply, referencing the "we live in a society" meme I actually smiled. Nevertheless, stopping the pretence today, painful as it is, realizing the state of the world is far from…
Ok, I'll bite, we are already at the 6th reply, who cares anymore. The alternative solution is, shortly put, to quote Geoffrey Hinton: socialism [1]. Longly put: fully automated luxury communism [2]. Once the first two…
From what I understand they are not getting paid since the paradigm changed: "the way it's changed is most of these streaming services focus on a metric called ARPU, which is the average revenue per user", "the main…
Already copyright laws do not offer protection for writers (see the current [screen]writers strike [1]), visual artists, musicians (see the recent Taylor Swift re-recording debacle [2]), not to speak of the "lower"…
From the post: [Rumors that start to become lawsuits] Some speculations are: - LibGen (4M+ books) - Sci-Hub (80M+ papers) - All of GitHub This is the most funny, but in the end sad aspect. If ChatGPT was indeed trained…
Sean Carroll, following Everett, puts it in the most concise form: (i) systems are described by wave functions, (ii) wave functions obey the Schrödinger equation [1]. "Many-worlds", universes, observations, observers,…
Perhaps one would drop the quotes around self-reflect if one would implement something more akin to a Markov blanket [1], blankets within blankets, model ourselves modelling the world. [1] 2018, "The Markov blankets of…
$3.4 million is a not even funny bad napkin mathematics. Just thinking of the work done by the moderators of /r/science, /r/AskScience, or /r/AskHistorians, not to speak of the moderators that handle celebrities AMA…
To keep in mind, à la longue, the best CSS is probably no CSS. Does a user really need all these buttons and dropdowns, modals and scrollable containers, or do they need only an input and a container rendering a few…
