It's sci-fi for your mom and dad.

Kinda fascinating how we have come full circle on machine learning. One of the few things it is good at are things like recommendation systems and advertising. With the LLM revolution companies tried to break out of that box, and it would be rather fitting if it fell right back in.

From an outside perspective? Almost nothing. The number of antiprotons being transported is almost incomprehensibly tiny, it would take extremely sensitive instruments in a quite pace to even detect them annihilating.

Just like everyone on the internet is 'rational' and 'logical', while anyone who disagrees with them is 'emotional' or 'political'

Yeah, centerists usually are not, well, centerests. A bit part of the right wing world view and identity is that they are 'normal', they are the 'majority' and they are the 'real center', kinda like how they are the 'real americans' and, if you press them enough, the 'real chosen race'. "center' has become another word like 'rational/logical'.. they really are not, but the idea that they are is a core part of their identity and way of shutting down discourse since anyone left of them MUST be a radical.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Yeah, unless the 'everything cloud' push springs back, which is unlikely given how lucrative it has been, I can not imagine a return to high priced desktops. My company is trying ot move us all to sub 1k laptops with the idea that 'everything can be done in cloud VMs instead!'.

Apple is known for going back and forth on things, so it would not surprise me if they brining it back at some point when they get someone in charge who is not as enamored with the studio's design philosophy.

People tend to not like having multiple computers with multiple OSes in their workflow. So people, workgroups, companies, labs, whatever, who are using MacOS will generally want to do their AI work in it too. And over the years, I've known a lot of data scientists and systems engineers who primarily use MacOS for their work, which includes training models from scratch.

This plan would not be about making mone. And you do it for the exact reason this article talks about. You want to manufacture competition in an industry.

How does that make any sense?

Buddy, our governments gives billions in public dollars to businesses each year.

Honestly, why not use progressive taxation funds to support the creation of new business startups that will compete with established business? I think this would provide founders an alternative path outside of the private investment path, which would in-turn generate more companies that are not solely focused on ROI and would have the freedom to have a product-centric focus.

Also.. wasn't that 0.17/mile figure that something musk made up in his original pitch and would require infrastructure that doesn't exist? So the math gets 'interesting' if you take a bit of early marketing as real?

Kinda hard to take you seriously when you don't even know about leopard eating faces. Speaks to a great confidence but zero domain knowledge.

Republican voters don't have a platform, the only have a side. Their principles can be shut on and off according to what will get them the most power over others.
