> infrastructure like this probably has to be usable for something like 100 years to payoff

I don't think so. Likely the pad with last 10 years max.

In any case, I highly doubt that but in any case sea level is almost certainly going to rise below a meter. Filling a meter higher with sand is a pocket change for this project.

What was the incentive and was that specific to Tesla?

That's why I said it will be slow. I think it will be decades long political control, not a military invasion.

China have more credible threat of bombing economically relevant building like TSMC, or capturing leaders and protestors like they already are doing in Hong Kong.

My bet would be that invasion wouldn't look like quick war, but slow control of political power either through light force like economic blackmail, or through something similar to what US did with Venezuela.

Now that US has already opened the gate to labelling nation head as drug seller, this just eases things for China.

I don't think Anthropic wants a stable experience on their consumer subscription plans. It is just used for customer acquisition who will then ask their employer to pay for enterprise plan(assuming most employer care about data control) which is based on tokens.

Most coders don't pay for tokens themselves. It's just on reddit and HN you would think that everybody does.

> Considering how many people

That is a terrible metric to look into. Github being down is news, but on a long enough time horizon Gitlab or other provider isn't significantly better. It's just they are in news less often.

Who is digitizing the books which are rare? Isn't it even more valuable to digitize for them now that they have new buyer which can pay 100s of times more.

It is possible for US to bomb anything. Just the retaliation could be huge.

Would you had said the same thing if a country like was developing and testing deadly virus on live population. I think in 5 years, it is possible that the AI will become that topic(if we assume AI becomes good and start hacking and controlling everything).

Yudkowsky's solution of detecting and physically shutting down non complying datacenter, including bombing if the country doesn't cooperate, isn't too much out of the question.

We would have done the same if it is about virus or nuclear weapons, and AI could become serious existential threat in the next 5 years.

New cloth used to be luxury when I was a kid. Now everyone has 100s of pieces. I remember sewing and wearing cloth, and no one does it now. Also he kinda answered his question:

> it(natural fiber cloth) lasted less than shirts I’ve paid 5€ for

For being offline and in silence, it is as achievable as ever, if not more. Companies/friends etc. now are more respectful of time and being offline or not picking up call now than they were 20 years ago.

If there are very few copies and no one wants to even spend $100 to scan it, likely the book wont be bought by anyone in any case and it would rot/thrown away in another 50 years if AI companies had not digitized it.

> What if the book has been out of print for 50 years?

Same answer? They raise the price and print more copies.

You can just print even 1 copy, just the cost per print will be higher.

In fact publishers getting some profit on the tail end of books is the best thing that could happen to authors and publishing industry.

> what do you think will happen?

They raise the price and print more copies?

I know the technical reason. I was contesting the GP's comment that most site display banner "Instead of complying". Most website needs basic tracking and there is nothing wrong in it.

We are just conditioned to see it without difference in basic tracking and tracking all your clicks across site and selling it to advertisers.

Why does static site of Europe's parliament need big cookie banner? Or is that the parliament which created this law doesn't know what you know or they are doing "malicious compliance".

LLama 3 405B had the most unoptimized kv cache usage by far. Deepseek v4 pro uses 2.4GB for the same context length[1].

No one claimed gpt-3.5-turbo doesn't have any degradation over davinci-003. In fact it was quite obvious that gpt-3.5 had way less knowledge but more post trained to be helpful.

> Just as I support the AMA for doctors

Doctors pay has been increasing a lot and it has nothing to do with union. In fact they just do one thing, lobby to not allow a perfectly good set of students to go to college.

> Meta/Googly/Claudy will say... oh nice, let's download it and run it...

You can run it for like <$50/hr. You don't need to be Meta/Googly/Claudy for that. For batch inference it makes sense to run it yourself(high latency, high throughput, predefined workload for few hours or day).

The drag is insufficient to stop it and it would go right through the earth without stopping. It would cause earthquake of 4 magnitude, which is barely detectable.

> In biopharma specifically, one great bottleneck is clinical trials

It is a good news for having more intelligence. Phase 1 trial to acceptance rate is ~10%. If say in ideal world, intelligent AI could make it to 80% by rejecting drugs before Phase 1, cost of trial(which author claims is the bottleneck) would suddenly drop to 1/8th even if AI doesn't help at all in the trial.

So commonsenseqa is the least saturated benchmark? It's like authors don't even read what they publish.

What doesn't make sense? I thought expected wealth optimization was the most controversial thing by far.

I think the central finding in EA is donating money while earning good is better than donating time directly for charity. To me it seems correct but controversial for many people(likely because you are maximizing your personal income)

gpus.io shows tensorweave pricing at $2.95/hr. Tensorweave just shows "Talk to sales".

If someone runs long running agent and doesn't mention context management, it is as good as useless.

For coding compaction kind of works as the agent could regenerate lot of the missing context(but far from all), but for places where there is need for long term context, solving it is one of the most important challenge.

That reference doesn't matter. The reference that matters is profit due to presence in Europe market. If it is lower than fines per year, it makes sense to pull out of the market.

2026 is the year for vercel and Render.

In fact more countries should have government funded models. There are some obvious issues in China completely dominating open weights space. Kimi had funding of just $2B and could literally create national security threat. A lot of countries could fund something in the range of few billion for something so important. At the very least US and EU could fund few companies.

I wish they wouldn't have posted this for 3 more days. Every agency would now try to suppress its weight release.
