progrus··on LK-99 is an online sensation but replication efforts fall short
Nature certainly would not platform my position on this one. Why would they choose this other person?

Why can I tell you what it says without even reading the headline?

It’s definitely the UFOs at this point. You might see a fake UFO landing soon.
progrus··on Observation of zero resistance above 100 K in Pb₁₀₋ₓCuₓ(PO₄)₆O
Ding ding.

It’s real, it works, the Navy has a linked patent from 2017.

The UFOs are a PSYOP.

Due to how these materials behave, this likely means you can manufacture a real-deal UFO in orbit…

They’re getting scared. Trying to justify their paychecks.

Why do this now?

Pure poetry. You are so right.
progrus··on Can you simply brainwash an LLM?
Yes.

Too many people are still dealing with their own mental illnesses, to be able to see this…
progrus··on LK-99: The live online race for a room-temperature superconductor
Importantly though, 1-d is all it needs to sound incredibly useful.
progrus··on LK-99: The live online race for a room-temperature superconductor
There’s some emerging evidence that it may be a new class of “1-d” superconducting material that only superconducts in certain places/directions. Will turn into big academic fight to redefine superconductivity if so, I think.
progrus··on Ask HN: Room temperature superconductor: what to expect?
It’s a magic bullet, and more than one government has already developed it.

Amazing!
progrus··on Former US SEC attorney: 'Get out of crypto platforms now'
It’s bigger than the US. People are starting to get it.
progrus··on The Curse of Recursion: Training on Generated Data Makes Models Forget
And politics. Any legacy LLM will eventually become a glorified auto-Wikipedia, helping with undisputed information while slavishly repeating its creators’ version of “truthiness” for the rest.
progrus··on Why Nature will not allow the use of generative AI in images and video
I think if it gets all the way to a computer model rendering, where the raw data input is in no way shaped like an image “yet”, the distinction between traditional and new-generative-model approaches sounds more like a difference in degree.
progrus··on Proposed SEC order to freeze, repatriate Binance.US assets
It’s the US empire collapsing, not Bitcoin.
progrus··on AI will save the world?
Yes, technology can be used for good.

What is the point of all of the rest?

progrus··on Statement on AI Risk
Maybe so, but then I would recommend making an effort to arm them with truths and critical thinking skills. It doesn’t have to go the same way every time.
progrus··on Statement on AI Risk
This doofus actually probably thinks that the poor of the world will line up to submit to his (AI’s) benevolent rule.

What a joke.

progrus··on Statement on AI Risk
Pathetic. He is beclowning himself.
progrus··on Statement on AI Risk
Pathetic attempt at regulatory capture. Let’s all be smart enough to not fall for this crap, eh?
progrus··on Statement on AI Risk
Not interested in any PR crap from scummy corporations angling to capture the regulators.
progrus··on UMD Study Finds Brain Connectivity, Memory Improves in Adults After Walking
The most OP turbo-thinker who I can name, Immanuel Kant, had such a regular walking habit that you could set your watch when you saw him cross the town square.
progrus··on The Birth of the Self
Yikes, the collectivists are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now, aren’t they?

> We are still, it seems to me, struggling to understand the Ich’s importance—or lack thereof—and whether we should kowtow to its importunate demands.

Don’t even try this crap. Come on.

progrus··on [dead]
The denial is staggering at this point. No, this study points to risk of myocarditis or pericarditis.
progrus··on Ask HN: How do you approach a problem you are not sure has a solution?
Work consistently, and pray for strength, hope and wisdom. These are the best kinds of problems to work on, IMO, but they can get very difficult.

I think this essential problem will eventually be understood like the speed of light limit, in a way.
progrus··on Black holes might be defects in spacetime
Yeah, it’s more they might have found a way to test the latest fix, than anything.
