claritise··on Intel vs. Samsung vs. TSMC
The mysticism is an emergent property of sufficiently complex and "obfuscated" procedures... No intelligent entity can lay claim to an omnipotent and perfected understanding of all known procedures... The fragments between silos of rational derivations of existing predicated truths we have discovered about the natural order of the universe is where it feels more like an enchantment than a discovery.

I strongly disagree around how forming a baby is amore esoteric.. cell mitosis is a pretty well understood science at this point and eventually we will reach a hard limit of covering all the surface area of that domain of knowledge. However technological discoveries unfold more like a fractal.. it isn't really a bounded domain as far as we know.

We are practically machine elves.. we enchant, transmute and bind mystical inscriptions onto crystals that are charged through an invisible and intangible energy to perform actions we could never do with our biological bodies. All of this is produced succinctly through an empirically pragmatic yet slightly esoteric process of a form of gnostic meditation we call the scientific method...
claritise··on LLaMA now goes faster on CPUs
Just create a RAG with wikipedia as the corpus and a low parameter model to run it and you can basically have an instantly queryable corpus of human knowledge runnable on an old raspberry pi.
claritise··on Apple Vision Pro – Potential hardware issues
Not to mention it has built in fans for active cooling. Apple has through it through.
claritise··on Flying the F-35 stealth fighter can leave pilots looking aged
Not to mention latency... however if autonomous get's good enough, i'd imagine it just becomes a command and conquer game and you just set the target and forget.
claritise··on Sacrifice the first 13 years of your life to Google for 2M
Or just do both? I’m currently 25 and doing all of the above whilst making more than my peers in FAANG. There is no reason having more fun means getting paid less. Work hard play hard.
claritise··on Lisa Su saved AMD – Now she wants Nvidia's AI crown
Mostly government incentives... the taiwanese government had amazing foresight when most other countries didn't and was well positioned to attract their nationals back from the USA (at the time intel / TI veterans) to build out taiwain's hardware manufacturing sector.. which eventually led to the founding of TSMC.. and the rest is history. Right time and place, but more importantly, a government with amazing judgement and foresight.
claritise··on BT will shed as many as 55,000 workers by 2030
What value can this really achieve other than being a glorified notification server (annoying).
claritise··on AI tool designs mRNA vaccines that are more potent and stable
Not sure why this would matter, generally medication is incredibly expensive because of the research that needs to go into it not scaling well to the amount of people that might need it for rare disease. If drug discovery costs go down to almost nothing, and trialling is greatly assisted with AI driven protein folding, it would almost become trivial to cure most diseases.
claritise··on Overnight 'hotel train' could link San Francisco and Los Angeles
Barely anyone takes the Sunrise Seto. I managed to easily book it while I was there. I really want to take it again when I am back, 100% quintessential Japanese bliss. I hope they never get rid of it.
claritise··on YouTube-DL Hosting Ban Paves the Way to Privatized Censorship
Decentralisation is the key... but no... just blanket hate on anything related crypto/blockchain.
claritise··on Hubble sees possible runaway black hole creating a trail of stars
Basically three body problem
claritise··on When programming is gone, will we like what’s left?
Soon there will only be techleads... leading a bunch of AIs. Anyone between a Jnr-Snr engineer will be made redundant.
claritise··on The Bing AI bot has been secretly running GPT-4
This is also really good because everything it saids can be easily referenced and crosschecked. Definitely a big reason I switched over to bing.
claritise··on GPT-4 is phenomenal at Code
At this point these titles really have become pretty meaningless... A good developer will build and use the tools they have access to, a bad developer will fall behind.
