It's an interesting discussion, because if you assume access to atmospheric oxygen, gasoline is MUCH more energy dense. TNT.....: 4 kJ/gram and 7 MJ/liter Gasoline: 43 kJ/gram and 33 MJ/liter

98% of any particular audience at a live event is well behaved. Unfortunately, in an audience of 1,000 people, that means 20 people are not well behaved, and if each of those 20 people ruins the event for their neighbors, that means at leas

I've lost my ability to believe that things will feel 'normal' at work. I no longer want to make connection with any coworkers.

Signal and noise. Lots of noise. SO much noise. To be clear, I don't know which part is signal and which part is noise any better than anyone else.

I believe that LLM (and ML in general) tools really shine when they are developed and used AS tools. Unfortunately, I also believe that market forces may push away from this direction, as LLM companies try to capture the value stream

I'd love to see an investigation into fossil fuel accumulation over geological time scales - especially petroleum. From what I've seen, 10,000 barrels per year is a reasonable guestimate. If that is the case, then just the electri

I read the book before watching the movie - I'd recommend the opposite. Watching the movie first will set the stage for a lot of details that work better in a book than a movie.
