That seems like it's within striking distance of competitive, no? You get some major advantages in size and production automation. Perhaps it's ok for it to die sooner if you can get it built now and then replace it later.

We already have had that ossified layer thing multiple times in mathematics. Formalisms change. For example, prior to vector calculus writing out multidimensional PDEs was tedious. Vector calculus has serious issues in its own right, so you

Have to say marimo is excellent and is a breath of fresh air compared to Jupyter!

The UK's tier 2 and the EU's blue card are strictly better than the US H-1B to green card mechanism and have been for over a decade. You face no 7% per country capping on naturalization. Has it worked out? These visas look like O-

Are there details on what visas Hyundai needed they couldn't get? L-1A/B for sending experts or management would make sense but I'm not sure there's any real issue getting those, especially not in 2023 when the plant was

That consumption figure is per acre of almonds. But your point is still valid. In total almonds or other crops like alfalfa consume millions of acre-feet of water a year in a dry state like California while a single data center only consume

Why would anyone develop AI models in the EU? You have a lot of compliance requirements and there's fewer enterprises that will pay for them

A half baked programming language that isn't deterministic or reproducible or guaranteed to do what you want. Worst of all worlds unless your input and output domains are tolerant to that, which most aren't. But if they are, then

Interoperability is, and always was, the hardest part of programming systems together. It's telling that the ai tooling needed sustained non ai effort to expose the interfaces via MCP (or ws-* or rest or an enterprise service bus or xm

I wish I wasn't medically barred from having a pilot's license. Not for the pay, but I just like the idea of flying. Unfortunately, I cannot. I recommend people use their salaries to learn how to fly regardless! It's maybe ~$

At this point it seems like just learning the library is easier than trying to cram the documentation into an LLM compatible format.

This paragraph alone is fundamentally better than the page or so of text in the blog post. I'm not sure what it is about the style of technical writing I've seen lately but just directly getting to the point versus trying to obfus

Rent seeking is the name of the game for much of b2b SaaS. MCP is an attempt to make that easy, but the issue here is that a lot of the companies offering integration could be disintermediated entirely by LLMs. Hard to say what that means.

Hooray, finally we are getting the geometric analysis of embedding spaces we need. Information geometry and differential geometry is finally getting its moment in the sun!

Pretty much. It requires a given state to allow it to operate and have jurisdiction. That's a political act through and through. The US doesn't recognize it anymore so it's baffling why they didn't move to non US equipme

There's an issue this highlights and it's not that the original authors were stupid so much as there's clearly a lot of knowledge held in silos. That's not a good thing if your goal is to advance everyone's knowledg

Yep. Trusting a guy who made a rookie excel error is not something I think we should continue to do. Especially when the consequences downstream of that error were so stark in terms of policy.

AMD has never understood that software is important. It's not culturally baked into them.
