Presumably they only have empirical results and if so, wouldn't you need to train multiple successive models to even test such a hypothesis? Even then, it's not like an inductive proof. An improvement in one generation does not im

The problem with physics and chemistry is that you need simulations and those are often in themselves compute hungry. So the iteration loop will be slower.

Why does the article title imply that VW is going to build weapons but the second paragraph then clarifies that the plant will be sold? Isn't that purposefully misleading?

In a world where sedans have been replaced by SUVs, I don't see how the market would react positively to this. But then again, Lime scooters are paradoxically also a thing. I guess maybe it's a matter of marketing?

Energy markets are also much easier to quantify, thus harder to build a hype machine around.

Hmm, I think you provide a compelling narrative. However I'm not very convinced. I think AI is a good example. EU wide there are plenty of public HPC centers and in 2020 we had (relative to the world) plenty of compute. In other words,

True, but what they do is they invest in fundamental research and then expect magic to happen and that research to lead to economic growth. Unfortunately the wizards that cast the spells live in the US, not Europe.

Because lots of senior researchers who call the shots are somehow invested in QC.

EU also recently introduced a 3 euro fee on all packages from China. Maybe well intentioned but it puts a huge markup, when a thinker wants to buy a very specific 0.05 euro spring from AliExpress or something along those lines.

It's an interesting topic, but the article is completely AI generated, which isn't surprising considering the startup, but still, if you don't even go over the output what's the point?

I'm usually a fan of pg, but this post is ignorant of modern AI technologies. Building an LLM from scratch is both a trivial and a useless exercise. There's probably in the range of 5000 github repos doing exactly that. What makes

You are not popular enough at your work place or at least not with the right people. Change jobs and try again.

I don't either. Don't we have free market capitalism? Why don't I have a Linux phone? And why do I need to worry that my government and banking apps won't work if I get a Linux phone?

I remember in 2010, corporate propagandists were telling us that the effects of climate change won't be felt for a 100 years.

Yes and correct me if I'm wrong, but they never did deeper work on dynamics. I think that's very telling.

It's probably because they hit a dead end with their approach in terms of improvements. You can only get so far with trying to model a physical system with an insane number of degrees of freedom from simulation (and augmented) data.

This is the kind of rational you arrive to, if you spend too much time in feminist circles and never bother to actually try to understand the other side. I can assure you that nobody thinks in terms of "controlling women".

To be fair, this is only true in western countries. It's not true, in for example Russia or China. Or to be more accurate, in Russia and China, no matter how many hundreds of billions you own, you won't be able to bend the party t

One possibly positive side effect is that by sidelining the working and middle classes, the political landscape would pit the rich against the fuck-you-rich. It would be interesting to see the class of doctors, lawyers and small business ow

Look, I'm not even a millionaire, and I will never be a billionaire, but in an alternate reality in which I'm a centibillionaire, one of my chief aims would be to limit the political say of the electorate as much as possible, beca

All the frontier labs are lobbying hard to lock down the AI market, because they see that their position at the top is temporary and that there's no secret sauce.

Here's a shower thought. BTC essential is worth $70k solely through the power of memes. Can TSLA and SPCX remain overvalued (relative to the revenue of their respective underlying assets) forever through the power of memes? Intuitively

IDK about Argentina, but the US, Australia and Canada went through the whole cycle post WWII. At first they opened up their borders because they were in need of workers. However, at some point, due to various factors, including rising anti-

To me it seems like EU countries are independently embarking on the Canada-policy of importing a whole bunch of South East Asians and Latin Americans. From Hungary to Ireland, you see the same trend. Part of it is by economic necessity. For

Lack of sleep, not because of phones but because of more demanding lives due to modern education and workplace demands. Phones might contribute too, but consider how normal it is today to work till late hours compared to previous generation

I don't think they are even referring to gradient descent here. I think they are referring to systems like AlphaEvolve where they use LLMs to give an informed/heuristical guess to try to tackle an otherwise insurmountable search s
