Sending to LEO costs around $2,700 usd and 9kWh of fuel per kilogram.

If you manage to send a data center with high end processing units, large array of solar panels, even larger liquid cooling and tick shielding against solar rays you’d have spent probably 100x to 1000x the cost of an equivalent earth data center even without considering hardware deprecation.

You’re better off sinking your data center deep in the sea and even that is probably not happening at large scales.

Couldn’t you say the same argument about VC funded startups? They lose money following a strategic goal.

The main difference here is if a startup goes underwater all the tech is usually lost. The Chinese weights are not going anywhere if the labs fail.

It'd be cool to have a mode where you input your current base / age / networth and simulate forward.

If humans can find (and have been finding for millennia) new proofs for well posted math problems, I see no reason why they shouldn’t be able to implement a more performant fully featured version of an existing interpreter.

“Systematic deliberate targeting of children as policy”.

I don’t see why this is controversial.

Pro-Palestine people have seen the overwhelming field reports that prove this and Pro-Israel people actually are in favor of targeting these kids because they might grow resentful of Israel and join Hamas.

The good thing is that cursor has no network effects. you could make your own (barely usable) cursor on top of vs in a weekend with the features you want.

they probably just stole all private codebases cursor ever saw. That + the ARR more than justifies the valuation even without any internal model.

“Ability to solve hard problems in days vs weeks as immense value”. Citation needed.

LlMs are incredible don’t get me wrong, but they are good on tiny contexts (writing a script). Not on software engineering (adding features to Chrome).
