mainecoder··on Abundant Intelligence
We is everything so negative remember all the people joking about OpenAI when it started well ... this thread will also be remembered and I am posting here for future purposes once AI has revolutionized our lives do not underestimate
mainecoder··on Abundant Intelligence
No worries once we have AGI we will ask it how to make up for all the emissions and solve climate change ...
mainecoder··on Nine things I learned in ninety years
Proof by analogy is fraud" - Bjarne Stroustrup Yes; page 692 of TC++PL. A good analogy is an excellent way of illustrating an idea, but far too often such analogies are not accompanied by solid reasoning, data, etc
mainecoder··on My Retro TVs
I love this
mainecoder··on Gaza's hunger crisis reached its "worst-case scenario"
Humans, they are humans too you see if you say anything about this you will be in grave trouble, if you try to do something good you will pay for it. Not many are even commenting here which tells you why they are avoiding this.
mainecoder··on Apple Wants People to Control Devices with Their Thoughts
Thought Crime is serious so it should be automatically reported to the authorities, any thoughts of self harm or unaliving oneself will also be reported to the nearest health facility. In addition thinking of words that typically get people cancelled or even thinking about certain gestures will get you banned as well.
mainecoder··on Fewer people want to work in the U.S.
This is false, the situation in the United States has definitely been less favorable however the situation in many developing countries has gotten even worse and thus there are more people who will want to work in the US since they do not have the luxury of living
mainecoder··on Suicide reverberates among young doctors
It is correct that reforms are needed. It is interesting however that this generation has the lowest mental toughness, since the standards did not necessarily increase but the people changed and could not handle the stress, wait until the tough times come.
mainecoder··on Lyft to buy taxi app Free Now for $200M to expand into Europe
Extremely good decision, and it is also cheap the regulatory hellfire they would need to experience to expand in europe is mediated by just purchasing a European company there. This is the best strategy for any US company wanted to either start or expand in Europe, just outright buy a European business there and don't change logos or marketing material to signal that it is actually owned by an American company to appeal to EU customers. Many European companies are actually being owned by US companies and Americans via trust and off shore shells, also as the European Upper Class goes to study and settle in the US their inheritance becomes American in that the proceeds will go to the IRS. Europe is increasingly being owned by American despite what seems to be happening with sentiments now, people do not realize that the actual military arm of NATO is controlled by a US 4 star general the communications network and missile defense system of NATO is under US control.
mainecoder··on "The US government has the ability to access many politicians' emails in Europe"
well it may seem like it but they don't pay taxes to the US Federal Government and NATO is good for the US to offload the costs while maintaining control over the military equipment.
mainecoder··on "The US government has the ability to access many politicians' emails in Europe"
Some of you maybe thinking why would the German BND help the NSA without the German Governments Knowledge? The answer is not CLASSIFIED, it could be:

1) The NSA can do it themselves but they are asking for it for convenience 2) There is a lot of intelligence sharing among the agencies and they can cut them off easily

mainecoder··on EU OS takes a 'layered' approach to its new Linux distro for the public sector
they don't understand, it's as if they don't want to understand even statements like the US going out of NATO tell you they do not know how much of NATO the US really controls the military decision maker is a 4 star US General, most of the missile systems and RADARs are under US control all the communication system of NATO is under US Control, without the US it would be scattered military units and a considerable number of EU made equipment with a lot of US made Equipment in different countries.
mainecoder··on Botswana launches first satellite BOTSAT-1 aboard SpaceX Falcon 9
Of course, even Europe cannot launch cheaply anymore. Arianespace is crawling to space; they are left for dead. The only serious players are the US and China. It's reached a point where it has become like trying to manufacture a state-of-the-art 5nm chip in a developing nation: possible, but at an absurd cost. You might achieve an initial parametric yield of only 10%, meaning only a tiny fraction of the chips coming off the line meet the basic electrical specifications. Even then, the functional yield (the percentage that actually performs the intended computation correctly at the target speed) might be even lower, say 5%. You'd be throwing away 95 out of every 100 chips, and the cost per usable die would be astronomical due to the sheer expense of acquiring and maintaining the lithography equipment, cleanroom facilities, and specialized expertise – resources that are heavily concentrated in a few leading nations and require years, if not decades, to build from scratch.
mainecoder··on Google will develop Android OS behind closed doors starting next week
I hope they make it closed source and make us much money out of it as possible for shareholders that is their job and their duty, why are they giving this away for free they have already captured market share by claiming opensource and building a community now all they have to do is make it proprietary and the old opensource version slowly wither and become unstable, then they can charge money for the operating system just like mircrosoft but this time on phone millions and billions of phones, $$$$$. /S (I obviously do not agree with this)
mainecoder··on Vibe Coding
Vibe coding is the future cannot wait to see vibe coded medical devices, autopilot software and other mission critical systems, it's going to be ok we will vibe code the tests as well. I will entrust the lives of my 2 daughters and 1 son to a vibe coded ml model that takes them to school.
mainecoder··on Why China's Xiaomi Can Make an Electric Car and Apple Can't
Apple is now running out of ideas and releasing a 60hz 'budget' $500 phone with an amazing feature of having USB-C which is highlighted prominently in the ads. They fumbled the Apple Vision Pro with great hardware(except for the fact that it is heavy it really is top notch) being shipped with terrible software( little developer support for graphics). Apple is not trying to use AI grift to market its rehashed phones.
mainecoder··on Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control of the James Bond franchise
let them let the customers choose also it allows them to amass substantial capital that can then be spent on R & D that maintains the lead of the US in some areas, as a multinational there is a lot of money coming from other countries that is beneficial to the U.S.. If China is the only country where MegaCorps, then it would be hard for segmented U.S. firms to compete with them
mainecoder··on European Alternatives for Popular Services
If only the EU alternatives were integrated with the other EU alternatives, it seems that Europe by design of its institutions cannot allow or have a big player
mainecoder··on A decade later, a decade lost (2024)
easier said than done!
mainecoder··on UK drops 'safety' from its AI body, now called AI Security Institute
One of the greatest blunders of the UK Government is allowing the sale of DeepMind for less than $1 Billion
mainecoder··on Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance
>Evil is subjective. Everything is subjective - moralist bro It's all priced in - Wall street bro learn to code - tech bro
mainecoder··on The U.S. needs a shipbuilding revolution
you are assuming he isn't paying much but think you assumed that there are many people who can do the job that are unemployed when the reality is that most or almost all are either overworked due to under staffing and paid well or retired and it would be difficult to just pay those already working more to just bring them because they are working on an actual US Navy ship and can't be bothered.
mainecoder··on Meta in talks to reincorporate in Texas or another state, WSJ reports
What SpaceX is doing is more important than Boca Chica
mainecoder··on Will young developers take on key open source software?
A portion of GenZ is wealthier than any generation of upper class ever. This is the most unequal generation in terms of wealth and education(people who submit papers on additive number theory in high school while the others have a 4th grade reading comprehension and a few thousand followers on tiktok).
mainecoder··on Will young developers take on key open source software?
Actually it's that inflation and cost of living has squeezed people so much that volunteering and prestigious low paid internships/ unpaid internships are mostly done by people from affluent backgrounds where as back in the day the middle class was the rich of today.
mainecoder··on U.S. stock markets tumble as investors worry about DeepSeek
The will tumble further, as they say its pricedin, what is yet to be priced in is the actual use of AI to make money rn since many of the AI companies don't have revenues that justifies valuation. It's like trust me bro the next model will bring us $$$,well O3 dead on arrival R2 is being trained as we speak and it's probably going to be better than whatever ClosedAI is releasing?
mainecoder··on What is DeepSeek? The Chinese OpenAI rival sparking chaos in tech markets
It is a slap in the face to closedAI you have not moat, NO moat and the fact that it is Opensource the real OpenAI= DeepSeek. It works, it is demonstrably on par(even though I would venture to say it is better). The death on labs with more manager than researchers farming impact for promotions.
mainecoder··on Karpathy on Deepseek R1
Deepseek kills ClosedAI now the their stocks are trash, finally the bubble is popping yes hahahahah
mainecoder··on UK first as vertical rocket launch licence granted
Well to little to late, the only Serious competitors are SpaceX, Rocketlab and China. There will never be a serious space company in Europe because our regulators are busy making sure that we have the European way of life that they are used to. Arianespace is dead on arrival
mainecoder··on Google "We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI" (2023)
They have data if only there were no managers seeking to impact farm their stats using researchers for promo.
