I've been reading these books to my kids for the last year and a half. Such a wonderful gift to so many children.

It would work fine. seriously what are you on about?

Yes the Linux kernel was in desperate need of a c++ rewrite

Assembly is source code...

The Russians have been targeting civilian infrastructure the entire war? Why is blowing up a Amazon warehouse suddenly opening a paradoras box?

I also don't understand.

I don't think he's concerned at all. He wants to destroy their profitability before they remove his chips from inference. Thats why they are selling billions at scale of chips to China, he needs llms to be commodities. He wants to eliminate any company that can rival him, like any monopolist oligarch.

AGI hasn't arrived. why would you care about a prognostication that has not yet played out?

How? you can write exactly the same low level code today.

Talk about poor duty of care to users... been using him for 20 years and I have to enable it in my vimrc to take effect. So stupid. Why would I want this to be off?

Such amazing design...

" Enable persistent undo set undofile

How does one use persistent undo in vim?

Can someone explain why this isn't better accomplished through a single prompt to Claude code or codex? I don't think I understand.

Has anyone hit this? the language is so vague I'm concerned this is going to stop my non-LLM cuda work.

It's open ended to solicit the advice of anyone who cares. But, given it didn't work, 80 gallon capacity / 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms

The outcome is the same!

He's working on the monster slime mold! He's head monster slime mold grower! how can you take these people seriously?

can anyone recommend the best heat pump water heater for the us market?

The entire premise is stupid. Panels need to be large to have reduced install costs and wiring costs. Install costs dominate solar install pricing in the United states. It is far far cheaper to install a new roof and giant solar installation than to go with a solar roof. It's just a broken concept at the very start.

please tell us why

Unfortunately, it really depends who you consider a journalist. With internet advertising destroying journalism as a revenue source, as anyone can really say anything about who they are

Nukes also cannot kill everyone. Nuclear winter was proven to not be based on solid evidence, the earth remains very habitable after all nukes have gone off.

You can't exceed roofline performance on hardware. There is an performance cap you can hit. This recursive self improvement stuff lets you be closer to the pareto frontier, but the idea that it is leading to some exponential growth is a total pipe dream.

is there a standard pattern for this? Like spawn an agent for each technique to try?

Can you explain how you used 12 billion tokens to do useful work?

Is is actively done at scale? I suspect not given the amounts of batteries being installed.

well, California currently is guaranteeing that benefit to nem 1 people for twenty years. I would much rather penalize those people than make everyone else pay a subsidy to them, as we are currently doing. They should bare the risk of their investment and get paid market rate.

My issue today is .. I cannot be paid market rate for giving back to the grid, even in hours when California needs the power.

this seems like it makes sense. how do you keep the dispensed water from being too hot? is there such a mechanism?

I think you had me until you mentioned long term storage. How do you store significant amounts of energy across seasons? I'm just not aware of anything other than pumped hydro power that has anywhere near the cap as capacity to do such a thing.

related tangent: install costs of batteries and solar in California are insane. I recently had battery and solar installed, and labor and permitting were 60% the cost of the system. Systems without either of those markedly bring down the cost.

Yes, I think the key thing here to to not guarantee that pricing like they did in California over decades. Yes, the benefit will eventually be reduced. But that is considered success is it not?
