Call links are a lot more work than “a few buttons”

All of the Soviet Union’s uranium came from Kyrgyzstan?

I thought Czechoslovakia was a huge uranium source for the Soviets as well?

I heard rumors someone burned his house down. No idea if they’re true or not.

PLA is widely used as a medical plastic and its normal decomposition is into lactic acid.

Even if it is just being atomized down into smaller and smaller particles it’s safer for you than any other common plastic.

The colorants added are the only risk

Yeah that’s about the face I was expecting him to be making. It’s the “Please knock my lights out” face. The mental agony face.

Working long hours is sometimes justified: but unless you’re the CEO you should be getting extra pay or time off in lieu. Anything else is wage theft.

He has said that they already know everything they need to know to get to AGI.

OpenAI has not made a single thing that wasn’t just a wrapped LLM.

So either A: he has somehow been running a skunk works that has fundamentally changed everything we know limits LLMs and none of the researchers leaked anything or B: he thinks LLMs are the way.

Additional quote when he was asked about AGI:

“How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity? In three words: deep learning worked. In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it,” Altman said.

This tracks with the whole “I need 1 trillion dollars of energy investments” plan to get to AGI that he’s asked for.

The guy’s either honestly convinced himself that we can get there with deep learning scaling or he’s a conman. Could be both.

It’s what Altman has constantly said was going to happen. Up to you to decide if he’s actually in the industry or not.

The fundamental architecture of an LLM is used across all these services - and that’s reaching its limits.

Heavy investments is a strong term for modest hedges around SMRs.

Tens of millions is low risk pocket change compared to the billions burned running the things constantly.

The problem is they’re all playing chicken with each other.

OpenAI will never back down. The question is will Google, Microsoft or Amazon blink first

Affinity is great

My point is that it was foreseeable and it was her goal. She never wanted congestion pricing, she wanted to run on it because it was popular and then tank it in a way that won’t hurt her reelection.

This is calculated.

She’s moving forward with it so that Trump can block it. Then she’ll say “look at me fight trump” and also “nothing we can do sorry”

I’m pro nuclear as well but we absolutely can maintain this level of energy consumption on renewables alone.

The question is cost and risk - I’m for diversification of our grid which includes nuclear.

But it is getting to the point where renewables with backups will be cheaper than coal. That’s absolutely something you can run the entire grid off of. You can balance storage requirements with excess production capacity that gets shuttered over the summer etc etc

Good to know - I didn’t opt for the 1k range personally, I sprang for a Priority Current with Enviolo hub. Love that bike - commute 9 miles to work on it.

(it’s not his personal device - it’s a work owned device)

Lmfao got it - yeah 100% agreed

SpaceX is more technologically advanced than Boeing when it comes to rockets.

Boeing is a slow, clumsy giant that has been necrotic for decades. We’re just now seeing the toes fall off. It’ll take a long time for Boeing to change, and in the meantime SpaceX will continue to be the leader in rockets.

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

I dug into this more because I was under the impression it was the case that most states did not: here’s what I found

https://felonvoting.procon.org/state-felon-voting-laws/

23 states let you vote after prison. 9 fully stop you off your rights. DC & 2 State let you vote from prison. The others are some level of parole or parole and probation.

Which means overall 9/51 are full loss: everywhere else you can theoretically get it back.

I like it because you mentioned it in the other thread with me and I’ve stolen it.
