- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 week ago:
Remote computing is very expensive. It’s just the gated (owned by companies) LLMs that are cheap for the final consumer. Training a 2b LLM on remote compute will cost thousands of dollars if you try to.

- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 1 week ago:
Palantir only cares about one philosophy. The “philosophy of God”. You may like some enlightenment figures like Kant or Leibniz, since the sense of hierarchy is powerful on the epoch, but that’s about it. You’re supposed to reverb/echo the “philosophy of God” or get out! Critical thinking without hierarchical thinking is just a pain on the ass for them, so you can “go home and eat our metaphysical shit” or submit to the Mathematical God which will create all the rules and philosophy we need.
I guess that’s what he means.

Did these two people (publishing on Cambridge!!) just try to give a deep scientific coating to Curtis Yarvin idea of aristocrats (“CEOs are monarchs”)?

Well, it’s weird that it gets 16%

You’re giving Microsoft too much credit. The market in general doesn’t want you to think of an alternative.

- Comment on Local solid-state processes adjust the selectivity in catalytic oxidation reactions on cobalt oxides 3 weeks ago:
I have noticed Nature articles (and Physical Review articles as well) are very well written and interesting to the general public as well.
Some journals articles from other journals are preoccupied with the formulas and data, but I guess Nature editors and publishers are also very preoccupied with the writing quality.

- Comment on Native Americans? 2 months ago:
That’s common culture/knowledge. But I don’t know, seems like rubbish to me. If English colonization has different methods, what can you say about Trinidad & Tobago? And the English Guyana? Let’s not go to Africa and Asia. It doesn’t seem to be their “modus operandi” to me.
I don’t think there is some big extermination plan for America and Australia. I think there’s just something different to those places, but that requires more study. Not of the common knowledge kind. Why would you want some kind of extermination colonization strategy for Australia? It’s weird. It’s more of a “counter-study”, but I believe there are people fighting the good fight out there. I’ll put it on my list and research it.
- Comment on Native Americans? 2 months ago:
That’s good. It’s similar to Brazil in the sense of recognizing and preserving tribal cultures. That’s important, but it doesn’t extend to all native people. There are movements here advocating for the recognition of the urban indigenous—people who live in the cities but aren’t officially recognized as having native ancestry.
Even more, it’s increasingly expected that there were big cities in the Amazon, featuring complex trade routes. However, this topic still needs to be studied more profoundly for various reasons.
It all depends on History, specifically how groups like the Aztecs in Mexico and the Inca in Peru dealt with the Spanish. Their elites were often made kings (or viceroys) in the early post-colonization period. That makes a significant difference in the subsequent social structure.
- Comment on Native Americans? 2 months ago:
Not children. People of any age. They’re dark skinned, sometimes slightly dark skinned. They look like japanese, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’re hispanic without a spanish surname. They’re not told they’re hispanic, they’re just marked as hispanic by the demographics. They don’t need to be told what they are for people to oppress them.
That’s how it works: you mark someone as something and don’t give a shit about what they think about it. Sometimes, the person just thinks: “This is how I look like, and this is what my family looks like, so I’m correct and don’t know anything about this heritage thing.”.
They don’t need to be told anything, that’s how it works.

I think the french are more pasty? Any child of a frenchman had lots of rights. That’s how Haiti got to rebel, no?

- Comment on What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture? 4 months ago:
I mean, agentic AIs are getting good at outputting working code. Thousands of lines per minute; talking trash of it won’t work.
However, I agree that losing the human element of writing code is losing a very important element of programming. So, I believe there should exist a strong resistance against this. Don’t feel pressured to answer if you think your plans shouldn’t be revealed, but it would be nice to know if someone is preparing a great resistance out there.

- Comment on Is the peoples deep interest in chemical experiment viral videos (e.g. liquid nitrogen in a pool) related to being shooed away from understanding real science? 6 months ago:
Liquid nitrogen in a pool is “stimulating” and generates an interesting physical effect. However, the point here in relating it to science is that there is some science behind it that gets the attention from people.
My argument is: people are naturally fascinated by this, but they’re put away by the strict laws, mainly mathematical laws, put forward by this.
Not that mathematics isn’t interesting, but you won’t incentivize people to go to a spitting contest by saying how you spit correctly. People want to see the strongest spit.
I think that’s all there is to it. If you can incentivize people into partaking on this endeavour (understanding chemical effects, in this case), you can bring much more value to science and people that are interested in it. You can, for example, explain interesting effects to people even though they’re looking at a clear liquid (most acids).

The progress of OpenAI since february has been pathetic. The other major AI LLMs have surpassed it a lot. I want to see how they will justify the investment.

I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the “standard” way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

Looks so good. I hope it’s ready soon. TES Arena has a really good endless exploration idea, where you can wander and find new things to do, it’s its best point in my opinion.
