This isn’t gonna work, space isn’t truly empty. Even with antimatter propulsion the interstellar medium will start to vaporize your ship at speed above 0.2c.

It’s highly unlikely we’re ever getting FTL. We should become comfortable with that and let go our fantasies. Let theoretical physicists chug away at this, we should get underway with projects that are possible with known science.

Or just ask any model to do it for you.

From the title I thought it’d be a timer for the agent itself, so it doesn’t waste time on endless thinking loops, etc.

Life wouldn’t be here if mitochondria only accumulated damage. We can do in the lab what biology does in the wild - introduce selection pressures. Either by sequencing iPSC clones and picking the best, somehow inducing the natural purifying selection, or simply using a donor mitochondria.

It still won’t help unless the AI bubble pops. Even old fabs will continue pumping out HBM instead of DRAM as long as hyperscalers gobble it up.

This meme is 100% true in western Europe.

It is scientifically proven cognitive performance starts falling above 22C, but feel free to continue your baseless moralizing.

It’s not different if you’re used to. Heat acclimation is a real thing, but it won’t magically beat physics if wet bulb temperature hits body temperature.

It’s possible to boot Linux in seconds, it’d just be a terrible developer experience.

“Why not just provide an email address that's delivered directly to the agents you have developing Oak?” Genuinely can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

This feeling of being defeated by and trapped inside the “machine” and seeing the “truth” is exactly what the “machine” would want you to do. The actual red pill is that there’s no “machine”, there’s only people and shared social constructions held together by our compliance and they’re contingent.

Plus it’s not like some absolutely enormous data centers, only 300MW.

Derek Thompson keeps banging his neoliberal drum in the face of (what he sees as) literal extinction. We need GDP, growth, yada yada. Just another 1% of GDP growth bro, it’ll fix everything. It’s funny how we’re unwilling to move a single iota on our socio-politico-economic system and actually fix what people are SAYING the problem is. Actually free childcare, education, cheaper housing, more future security, etc. Yes, most of us grew up in a world where none of that was present, but we now understand how suboptimal it was on our psyches and want to break the cycle.

Is it? Literally nothing even remotely similar from the book is happening in reality beyond the lobsters’ broken command of language being similar to early GPTs, but even they seem to have had a better world model than our current SOTA.

It’s debatable whether data centers is “civilization”. Civilization, in theory, should be a a benefit to all. Data centers provide basically zero benefit to communities where they get built. They don’t even get to tax the value the compute inside creates. It’s just an ugly, loud, power and water hungry box as far as they’re concerned.

You’re not running a BSD on an embedded device with full driver support any time soon. Linux won this space.

Hey, he MIGHT be that CEO one day. Currently he’s temporarily embarrassed billionaire.

“Regulatory capture”? This term means something very specific and doesn’t apply in this case at all.

I agree, it’s just a failure of imagination. Some folks correctly foresee not being able to continue what we’re doing now in the exact same way in some new context and conclude everything is impossible. Life isn’t this fickle, it’s adapted before and will adapt again. This is why great science fiction is so valuable, as some people are better at imagining new ways of being more than others, and can show the rest of us the possibilities.

Everyone should have a smartphone, just not necessarily a closed down and enshittified one.

We MADE the energy expensive.

I think you’re missing the point of Dune. They had their Butlerian Jihad and won - the machines were banned. And what did it get them? Feudalism, cartels, stagnation. Does anyone seriously want to live in the Dune universe?

The problem isn’t in the thinking machines, it’s in who owns them and gets our rent. We need open source models running on dirt cheap hardware.

Yocto? Nobody is expecting Yocto for deeply embedded systems likely to be built on this OS. It’s closer to FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Embassy, but with this additional hardware-level safety guarantees.

An unfortunate name that triggers everybody who’s ever worked at Meta :)

it’s actually true and they’re trying to develop GLP-1 resistant foods by using other sensory channels: https://archive.is/N0whF

People are free to knock themselves out with Bazel if they’re into that kind of masochism, but having it as the ONLY way to build your OSS project is a big no.

It wouldn’t be HN without an EU bashing comment for no reason. Seems like it’s living in people’s heads rent free.

The goal should be to not produce homo economicus in the first place, not to figure out how to build a society out of them in the same way you build a trustless smart contract.

There’s tons of variants of ZFC without the “infinity”. Constructivism has a long and deep history in mathematics and it’s probably going to become dominant in the future.
