Original article on arXiv (it’s a short one).

Very well written article.

A “EE” degree won’t get you into poking the right things into memory using BASIC. How about your “EE” programmers try that understanding of hardware?

I’m brazilian and I have to say the opposite: smartphones are teaching people how to write, read and think quickly. In university scenarios, people are excited by the possibilities technology have made possible for them. People are willing that the country grow in stature. And that means deep philosophical meaning and so on. Also, Brazil is known for its diversity, so anything that is plus diversity will make brazilian people more willing.

I’ve read most of this comment section and I can’t help but think that americans are lacking the meaning they once had. “Building pipe bombs made us smarter”. ok. “television wasn’t as bad as smartphones”. ok. But the landscape changed and now there is the need for diversity. Time won’t come back and that’s fine, we as world don’t need white predominant thinking to be back. We need something that will push us all forward, and that is not measuring and saying people are dumber and finding other measures to say the same again.

Let’s just pull up everyone. You don’t need to be dumb to wish the best for all. As the article says, friction is good. More social, more friction, more thinking.

I agree that learning friction is essential.

heh, always the prefrontal cortex

I know little more from Japan than the mainstream culture knowledge. That said, Japan is said to be a place where people are cold and distant. So, things starting getting more social, they get more tourists, and then instead of relaxing in relation to the social sphere, Japan is like: “No, let’s be more cold and distant.”. Yeah, that will work.

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.

Well it’s a shuffling done by computer on a card deck software then.

I think it’s important to understand the philosophy also. The free software movement traces back to being able to transform any software in order to function on hardware as intended by the user. This is necessary and is its base philosophy.

So you have a hardware that is unusable without property software. That is what is unacceptable by free software standards. And I agree.

bullies!

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.

You need a static IP address and DNS. Then you need to follow instructions for launching and administrating the lemmy server online: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

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

What do you want to self-host? Lemmy?

Data from space missions is open for the scrutiny of every researcher and citizen scientist, right? It’s good to have those things open so everyone can check.

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.

The solution is Starlink. Yes. (it says on the article that the solution is Starlink)

So the EU wants to diversify for autonomy. India has been growing a lot, I think it will be a good partner.
