when discussing when China could catch up to the US in the semiconductor race.
BS. Untied states are not competitive at all for a long time. They should say China is catching up with Taiwan.
- Comment on People around the world are trying to learn English because it's the Lingua Franca, but imagine if the Lingua Franca of the world was a Tonal Language and the writing system was Logographic. 6 days ago:
Every language has words that are almost the same sounds but not quite.
English speakers barely pronounce can and can’t differently. If you’re in a noisy place, or are not familiar with the accent of the speaker or got a flu and your ears are blocked or whatever else, you’ll have an extra bad time telling them apart. That’s normal. Just extra annoying that this particular example involves a particular meaning and the opposite of it, so context is not your friend.
HEY MATE, CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY?
I CA’!±:-
OH COOL
I SAID I CA;(++;:-
OH SO YOU CAN’T? YEAH?
YEAH! THAT’S WHAT I SAID.
WELL YOUR LOSS
I SAID I WILL COME, DUDE
OH SHOOT. OK. SEE YOU THERE.

I’d be inclined to square the blame on economic and cultural imposition.
Which means that in maybe 50 years it will be like you say because of China’s increasing weight on world affairs.

My thoughts exactly.
My other thoughts were, every time I see corporate BS in my company am I better off ignoring or swearing.
Now I have inspiration for what to do.
- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 2 weeks ago:
NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.
When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.
NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.
Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

I don’t know what you call trust, but count me out mate.
Just because there’s no option it’s not meant to say I can’t see the grift.

That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.
There’s probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

Mate I hope you get hold of your depression and find a way to sort or ignore your problems in a healthy, guilt free way.
Look I’m from South America and I get what you’re saying. Many parallels although to a lesser degree. Probably because South America has had tough life but not as tough as South East Asia.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 2 weeks ago:
Although I can imagine what hell would look like: commuting for 1h to sit in an office that has more people than desks to have a zoom meeting over VPN with flaky wifi and AC that is set to overheat whoever sits under the vent and under heat everyone further.
Oh did I tell you that meeting could have been an email?

What prevents me from doing all of that with a pre existing domain that belongs to a competitor?
If you get a state sponsored actor could it overtake things by brute force?
I am imagining this distributed nature of tor is similar to crypto currencies, where if you convince a big enough part of the network that an event did happen, for all practical purposes it’s as if it did happen.

You kidding me dude? I’m past 40 and not chance to own a house. Grad and masters degree, working in IT. Ah and uni was good and free. granted that was in the developing world, now living in 1st world, but still no house.
When I was 7 my parents owned a house AND bought a beach house.

Oh yeah if this advances fast it may be a product in 5 to 10 years.
- Comment on Edible Wood 5 weeks ago:
Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.
Also I’m double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.

I agree that before it’s a company selling a product it’s just dreams.
However this is serious research. Skip the journo and open the nature.com link to the scientific article.
For the ones not familiar with nature, it’s a highly regarded scientific magazine. Articles are written by researchers not journalists.

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 1 month ago:
It’s not because of ai because ai is good enough to recognise meaning across languages and dialects. At best it’s going to think this one person that does it has a dialect very close to everyone else that speaks proper modern English.
But yeah that’s the claim the single person doing it repeats. I personally think they’re trolling everyone but ai.

- Comment on Lifespan of AI Chips: The $300 Billion Question - CITP Blog 1 month ago:
It’s a circular grift all around. They found a way to ensure that either everyone wins or everyone loses, and everyone keeps putting chips on the gambling table and nobody calls anyone’s bluff.
Except NVIDIA who’s the only one providing something that’s not a commodity.

Mate I checked for you.
I have a poke 3.
In 2022 there were like 3 updates spaced out over the year.
In December 2023 there was another one.
Then nothing more since.
- Comment on Artificial Neurons Communicate Directly With Living Cells 1 month ago:
Wow it’s really cool, there’s potential to do many things, such as making a processor chip based on proteins instead of silicon. Obviously not for replacing current CPUs but to do analog computing - the kind of computing that both artificial AND natural intelligence do - with really low power. According to the experiments, 1/10th of the voltage (about 0.1V), which means 1/100 of the power since power comes from voltage squared.
As many other cool things we see in spectrum and nature magazines, this is very very far from being a start up and I may never hear from this topic ever again. But it’s dang cool how they found a bacteria that produces conductive wires from proteins.

I’ve probably got one (minor) update in my 4 or 5 years owning it. It would probably be nice getting security updates, but honestly all android versions are pretty much same thing to me since nougat.
