What's the best scientific calculator for Android?

If you want you can already do this today...

Jet is a very specific niche. There I agree. Fossil fuel have an energy density that is just a too good. You don't depend on the high density for most applications or can just take the energy "out of the plug" so no storage needed.

Just study learning rates of different technologies and it quickly becomes very evident, how future energy mixes will roughly look like. (That's also why fossil fuels have no future in the energy mix. They don't have any significant learning rate - just like minerals.) See e.g. this seminal paper: https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(22)00410-X

Yes. Batteries are coming. I think many people truly misunderstand the full power with which solar/wind + batteries will transform our societies (and by the way also giving more resilient and insular power networks than centralized power plants can ever give)

What is your conclusion?

Could you explain this in a bit more detail, please? Are you saying it's just human bias that people fear a bubble?

The problem is, that most economic value acrues to the stakeholder owning the distribution. It's not really about the product or tech. It isn't too hard to rebuild Facebook. You'd still not have a unicorn by just rebuilding it.

Ah this sounds like real hackernews.

Interesting thought experiment but entire page is AI slop. I am not sure how much original thought the "author" put into this thought experiment themselves before hitting publish.

Do you think that eventually one would 'fix all holes' or is this an eternal fight against the windmills?

Just a wet dream of a sleepy old European... How should this work?

How many km?

This is called iatrogenesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis

We humans tend to believe doing sth is superior to doing nothing.

While nothing is actually not nothing. Nature is actually pretty good in self-healing.

What is "somewhere else" for you? (Besides distribution and money)

Can you explain more about it? What are the physical limitations?

Man I had to read twice. Wondered what an "alcoholic fox" is...

Emphasis on "so far"

That's the big question, how prices evolve if LLMs increase supply. Standard economic theory says that prices must collapse. There is probably still a short time of 2-5 years where AI native firms can pocket in quite some arbitrage but I guess markets will eventually figure it out and prices will collapse. This is not only for law. The same applies to all the other industries where LLMs can be used to automate work tasks.

That's a problem if you live in a country with politically illiterate voters. That's why education is so important in democracies so people don't fall for such crap

Tell us more about this experience. Very interesting!

Interesting question. What is work? Is playing with your children work? Is talking to elderly people work? I think a lot of things we have outsourced to "professionals" is considered work now and was considered "just normal life" before.

> It's reasonable to assume that if AI drop-in-replaced all those knowledge workers, AI companies could credibly charge somewhere in that order of magnitude, because that's what the market is already bearing.

Future supply and demand will set the price - not what is paid today. If supply by open models is vast and cheap, I can't see that the entire knowledge industry can hold the current size. It'll rather collapse to a fraction of its current value.

Wtf. How come you ended up in such a compound?

Interesting. Any evidence that intelligence stops being useful? Why do you believe this is this a bounded resource.

This. Unprecedented concentration of assets in the hand of very few tech companies. These companies will control the access to the technology and the plebs are left out at the gates.

Very common fallacy: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!
