It’s early dinner in New York…

This is simply natural selection at work. Those who are following conspiracy theories of “bad” mRNA vaccines or any treatments that works just simply gets (de)selected.

Ah.. the bathtub curve. Back in the 90s (yeah, I am old), I was writing control apps for ovens that burn-in DRAMs for a company that specializes in getting rid of the early infant mortalities. The ovens steepens the “death” curve, shortening the time for an iffy RAM chip to fail and hence the...

I am not looking for anything in particular, just wanted to know the difference. I would imagine the UK version might be saucier…

@EricBerger Are there major differences between the US and UK edition of the book besides the cover image?

Well, if he had given up his creds, he would have ended up “accidentally” falling off the ledge.. Edit: language

Meanwhile, China is rubbing her hands in glee - the researchers need to eat and guess who will be preparing a banquet for some of them.

What a time to be alive! So glad to be able to observe what is possibly the first real step to solar system colonization. I wish this happened 20-30 years earlier but better late and never!!

I see what you did there.. Freudian slip from a software developer. 😁

Well, it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Perhaps a more app comparison is what NASA spends on Betchel’s Mobile Transporter alone - also $2.7billion and counting. Edit: fixed link insertion issue.

Unfortunately, there are people called “shareholders” who usually don’t work at the business…

Scrubbed! Ninja’ed by lordofshadows 😊

Toyota just scored a branding opportunity of a lifetime!

A lot of posters mentioned pumps being used for the microgravity propellant transfer test - wouldn’t a partially-depressurized destination tank help? Some of the propellant will obviously phase-change to gas but wouldn’t you get most of it moved over as a liquid? Just a bit of armchair...

Time to set up a foundation in a remote location to keep all scientific research safe…

I almost hope that China lands first in the next few years and set up a base. It will definitely give a big impetus to everyone else to push to do the same. Otherwise there will be a lot of dash lines on the moon map… Edit: language

I would say existing, not living.

Must is neither stupid or yellow-bellied; he is a “longtermist”. He doesn’t care about the Ukrainians being wronged; he just think he is the hero preventing a thermonuclear war from wiping out humanity. Whether you agree with this ethical philosophy or not, he is acting true to his (IMHO flawed)...

Thanks, Huang for the article. I find it useful as I now understand a little better on how LLMs can be tuned. Like another poster said, it’s early days and these kind of articles helps to separate the chaff from the real stuff.

Not a lawyer, but this feels like a slippery road… what happens when an AI model discovers a drug that cures cancer? I know this article deals with copyrights but it would seem the arguments can extend to patents?
