I also invested up to $5B.

Is this stuff not in the Internet Archive? Why not? I'm not disparaging; I'm just asking what the reason is. What causes something to be in the Internet Archive in the first place?

Ideally, your government would tax the bad thing. But in most cases, the bad thing has powerful lobbyists and the government is not functioning properly.

I wonder whether, prior to this conversation, Steve had ever communicated to Bill that rounded rects would be nice.

"No, there's no way to do that. In fact it would be really hard to do."

Why would Bill say this? Why would his ellipse optimization not be trivially applicable to a quarter-circle?

Maybe that's true with today's technology. But that stuff tends to improve, especially if you invest money/research.

Humorously, they don't give a temperature, but they do mention "high-temperature superconducting" 14 times.

The price of fission will hopefully come down over the next decade via reduced regulations and higher production rates (of smaller reactors).

If you mean "we" as in "humanity", then exactly the same amount. Bitcoin is created per unit time, not per unit energy.

Bunch of projects in the works. But building HVDC lines is not cheap.

And submarines.

BTW, what is the new word to use when one literally means literally?

Correct. 1GB.

The delusion of thinking you can change consumer behavior via blog post...

It seems like the solution is to tax the producer.

FWIW, here is where satellites are distributed:

LEO:84%, MEO:3%, GEO:12% (https://nanoavionics.com/blog/how-many-satellites-are-in-spa...)

Combine that with the increased volume at higher elevations, and you get much higher satellite density in LEO. So if there is any Kessler problem, it will likely happen in LEO first. And that is the place that is the easiest to deal with (or quickest to self-heal by orbit decay).

Frustrating that the charts do not show the elevation. I bet they are all LEO.

Imagine reading this headline before the AI boom.

"Graphics? WTF."

I said AGI. I did not say human.

How so? If there is a task that humans can do but the AI cannot, I would not call it AGI. But that's just my definition.

It is necessary but not sufficient.

If you can't do ARC, you aren't general enough. But even if you can do ARC, you still might not be general enough.

"Vision is an especially large weakness."

But you can have GPT write code to reliably convert the image grid into a textual representation, right? And code to convert back to image and auto-verify.

Kinda what I was thinking -- why not retire or change careers? Being a doctor for many years presumably affords one that option.

Bad audio. No thanks.

Where did the money come from? How about put it toward alignment research instead of accelerating capabilities?

High-end Nvidia GPUs are not optimized for 3D rendering; they are optimized for machine learning and inference.

Or a pie chart.

Thanks for this informative post. I was a little confused as well.

Right, now we have e-SIMs. So what was the reason for physical SIMs in the first place?
