Buddhism identifies three stages of wisdom:

1. Wisdom through dogma. 2. Wisdom through reasoning. 3. Wisdom through experience.

AI is just stage 1. Instant and easily digestible. Traditional learning forces you to go to Stage 2, because you are often given too much information and you need to compress it to memorise it. And the best way to compress it, is by finding some kind of logical structure in the information.

I found out that classical building with ornaments aren't that more expensive than modern glass boxes. The Berlin Baroque palace costed 680 Million euros which isn't atypical for buildings that size, and it includes carved stone ornamentation [1]. Modern CNC robots have made stone carving much more efficient.

Same reasons why every country, or close allies, build their own tanks or space program. You want to keep some level of capability within your control. Compared to weapon programs, AI research is very cheap.

If ASML is just IP then everyone would have already copied it. They have an extremely deep and high tech supply chain that is nearly impossible to copy.

If they have to attack Obama by rehashing "Michelle is a man", then Obama must be an angel.

It looks like Iran and Trump has made a deal to rob the American tax payer together.

Looks like a total strategic victory for Iran. They are the regional power now that has to be taken serious by the international community. Their international standing has improved compared to before the war. This is also bad news for Israel.

If we view carbonara through Asian cooking theory, then the recipe from Il Piccolo Talismano Della Felicita (1964) is probably the best, because the wine and onion adds acidity and sweetness for balance.

Look at COVID conspiracies. We literally had images of patients in the hospital parking, because the hospital could not handle the tsunami of severe infections, but there are still people who believe that we should have let it rip.

American zoning is weird. You can't walk to a grocery store, but you can walk to a data center.

Many people already have x% of their portfolio allocated to a growth fund, that might include fast growing AI companies. You need to keep the risk profile consistent. If you change the rules you mess up people's strategy.

I find that the more you know about a subject the worst impression you will have of AI. What it knows is kinda shallow and basic, and if you have a more difficult question the answers are confidently random.

The AI would be an awful husband

Even when run on datacenters, it would be like current day webhosting. It is hyper competitive and it will be a race to the bottom. There is money to be made but not as much as investors hope. There will be datacenters in random countries like Kazakhstan because some oligarchs have found a free energy glitch (like with bitcoin mining).

Farms were always placed as close to the city as much as possible, because it is impractical to transport food from a distance. An ox-drawn cart isn't faster than walking speed, so farmers still had to live a walkable distance from the city market.

Historic cities and castles are almost always wrongly depicted in movies. They are always placed in a grace field in the middle of nowhere, but there should be farmland everywhere.

That is for a different scenario. It means that if you already have a residence permit, you have to wait 8 years before you can apply for citizenship. OP is talking about marriage green card. For 75% of cases in Sweden it is less than 15 months to get a residence permit.

Asian countries seem to have a different approach to diversification. In the East it is the companies that diversify while in the West it is the shareholders that diversify. So Bill Gates will not tell Microsoft to start farming, but he probably does have farms in his portfolio.

I like them because they look like cartoon glasses

I find that if you are going to buy Chinese stuff, you might as well look on Temu. It is cheaper and has greater selection.

Very few governments outside of the US will let a US company "own" them. It is a national security issue. They just take a good enough locally made model.

I am sceptical of the AI world dominance race.

The thing is that AI is not winner takes all market. AI models and server space is all fungible. It is very valuable, but no one will hold exclusive AI capabilities in the long run.

Reminds me of winamp skins. Such wacky designs would be unthinkable today.

Imagine this: patients buy an AI service to get approval. Insures build an AI to deny claims. 21st century AI wars..

Leading the race makes sense if it's a winner takes all market. AI cannot be a winner takes all market, because of national security reasons.

I would also argue that as AI gets better it will also be more fungible. It will be valuable like electricity. Lots of companies make good money producing electricity, but not the kind of money current investors are hoping for.

It will just hack its own reward function. In other words it will just artificially goon all day.

That is because you have to see it in real life. I have never seen this calculator myself, but I have been to a lacquerware company called Hanoia in Vietnam. They als do lacquerware for Hermes. First thing you will notice is that the colours are super rich. If you see a yellow tea box, then it has the deepest and richest yellow you have ever seen. It is like going from a 2010 LCD to a 2026 OLED screen.

Stupid symbolic politics to own the greens. Good thing is that heatpumps are the most rational choice for new homes, so I don’t think much damage was done.

Not IT, but I think Leica has the best camera design. At around the Leica M6 they decided that the design was done, and every future M camera is essentially an M6 clone.

That is also my productivity hack. It reminds me of video games that gives you reward cues for doing something. Psychological tricks to massage your brain and get you hooked. That's why also like to buy nice stationary. I always look forward to use my notebooks and pens.

For me the launcher itself loads fast, but it takes 1-2 seconds to show the icons. And when I scroll down it often times does not draw the icons fast enough.
