  1. Their unit of measurement is the dollar

  2. Capitalism and markets are not synonymous. The concept of trade and barter existed long before the advent of capitalism, but capitalism involves an additional component that sets it apart from simple market exchange. That component is capital, which is distinct from money.

  4. In capitalism, deception is normal. That’s why the state needs laws to keep everybody in check. And even then, ‘unethical’ only matters when things blow up. Remember the Asian financial crisis? Banks and the rich from western countries got bailed out. Local people got buried. Same in 2008. Ethics is not a category that should be applied to capitalism. That would be wishful thinking.

  5. So, what difference would it make if they weren’t ruthless and narcissistic, if they were girls instead of boys? Exactly zero. I stopped tying economics to personal traits a long time ago. This is capitalism. nobody spends 500B to advance humanity. If that were truly the goal, it could have been done already without AI. So, what’s been holding them back? So. no matter how sympathetic, forward-thinking, or child-loving an investor or company may seem, they will always go for their own interests above all else. I would too, with that kind of capital. And when those interests go against those of millions, that’s when profits really soar. And with profits comes power. Contrary to popular belief, poverty doesn’t exist despite wealth... poverty exists because of it. For someone to gain a lot, somebody else has to lose a lot. But, people still believe this economy could work for them if only we had fewer narcissistic manboys, less migrants, better politicians, or someone like Trump, a personal Führer. To unite the nation and punish those who operate outside the supposed common collective interest (politicians like to pander to the greater common good). They think singling out minorities and punishing individuals will make the system work for them. Making them less vulnerable in a competitive capitalist society. They believe their nationality naturally justifies favorable treatment over others (story sounds familiar?). But to a Chinese or American investor, an American worker is just the same, a worker, a cost factor. It’s not about nationality. It’s about which side of the class system you belong to. Do you work at the production line, or do you own it? Do you fight a war that ultimately isn’t yours, or do you command the war? You’ll never learn that in school, sadly. Because school serves a specific purpose, too. One that necessarily can’t be in your best interest. If it were, it would only lead to too many fundamental questions.

  6. Interesting... women are likely to be questioned about how they balance their work and family obligations. Such remarks are rare if it's a man.

  7. When will they? Once they learn to fear death and then to die actually, maybe

  12. speaking of gravity I always wondered what black holes would do to fermions when they get squished together. Are they starting to show boson like behaviour assuming they have to overcome the Pauli exclusion principle? Do they mingle with actual bosons? Is there a difference between 2 blackholes if one black hole consisted only of photons vs non photons?

  13. For me it's long slow distance runs (LSD) (running seem to keep the hunger at bay while lifting increases the urge to eat ), I do OMAD once or twice a week and I never buy any shit (you can't binge on what it is not in the fridge).

  16. comparing the energy consumption of our brains to that of nvidia data centers I'd say no.

  17.  @NovaNix4  No, s/he does actually🙂... pondering on my question whether purely photonic BHs could in theory exist and how they would differ from "regular" fermionic BHs. Great insight thanks @Shakhter Siren'. I somehow find Prof. Levin explanation less painful to grok whereas the energy is consumed to curve space-time. That's it. According to this, BH are in fact empty. pure space time contorting energy. At least, if I got that right. here https://youtu.be/UwRAat-MUKc?t=2203

  18. No unfortunately it's not. Even if everyone was fluent in Maths we would still have no clue what exactly we are looking at. I hope this will change in the future.

  19. Beyond a certain point, they currently all suck. Be it at coding or physics. But they definitely can give you a head start, it's like riding an e-bike. Maybe Altman has figured out the next gen LLM behind closed doors. If not, then Deepseek is def. Impressive enough to compete against Google's 1260 and o1. AI should be controlled by the public, and DeepSeek points at the right direction.

  20. I came here to ask what unit do we use to measure the slowing down of time. This is the perfect answer.

  22. I disagree, pseudo science is when people continue to promote ideas or arguments which have been already proven to be false. Being skeptical is an absolutely legit stance in life but once evidence shows that your claim is wrong it is time to adjust your world view. "Real" Science does it all the time, pseudo science and conspiracy theories never.

  24. which is sort of true for all models including the one that let's you think your are reading this ;)

  25. AI is used all overs physics incl. astro-physics since you mentioned NDT .

  26. What I find more deeply worrying are people constantly willing to warship other people be them scientists or not. Citing a commenter below "Sabine, believe it or not you are the only scientist that I followed. I care less what other scientists saying, because others exist only to support government" . It's like they need to find another God now that God is dead. Which is the exact anti thesis of science.

  27. The argument reminds of the tobacco industry. There is no medical reason for not smoking or selling more cigarettes, just stick in a filter.

  28. Companies will always lie because they must make profits. The call it marketing i.e. propaganda. If you don't like find a better system to replace capitalism.

  29. Any Physicists here..? Can anyone please explain the origin of the term "phase space" in classical mechanics? I've been reading about it and haven't found any information on its history and what they actually meant by "phase" back then. Some how the name stuck. Or maybe there's a youtube video that explains the physics and historical origin of the term. thx :)

  30. This is nothing but Eugenics in disguise. I'm not surprised to find Thiel in there.

  31. nah, there are capitalists and nationalists like all the rest. The only fight over what flavor of nationalism is best for the nation.

  32. Capitalism is way to irrational and counter-productive to be of any help. It is the wrong tool for this job.

  33. untrue. A black hole touches on a fundamental lack of theory. However, climate, while complex, is very well understood. So much so that PhD students choose areas where they can expect new physics.

  34. you shouldn't rely on newspapers for you science news. even wikipedia was more accurate by some orders of magnitude 😅

  38. I like the old format. It's more chill, I can pause whenever I need to ask the chatbots, and then pick up where I left off without worrying about playlists. But I'm loving the focused comment section of the new format. Insightful remarks are now getting the attention they deserve.

  39. 7:24 That was a stupid thing to say. How many people in Asia and Africa aren't freezing to death thanks to climate warming.. Right... 0.

  42.  @NovaNix4  you're right... initially I thought of black holes as a super charged (no pun) Bose/Einstein something-something condensate, but I remember Prof. Janna Levin on a StarTalk epsiode explaining that ultimately all becomes energy which is then responsible for the contortion of space time. I guess maybe next to E=mc**2 there is also a relation where E ~ "degree of space time curvature". But because of the apparent effect on space time, what ever happens beyond the horizon must occur within a finite time frame. I'm also wondering whether space time curvature has a base curvature similar to ground energy. haha I'm starting to ramble now... anyway nature i lit.

  45. It goes to show how accurate models could be if given enough time and resources and at the same time saddening to see that no one gives a shit.

  46. The prospect of a small group of owners controlling modern AI and genome research is also scary.

  47. There's a brilliant talk by Bartosz Milewski where he discusses the possibly limited range of problems that our brains are capable of solving. https://youtu.be/I8LbkfSSR58?list=PLbgaMIhjbmEnaH_LTkxLI7FMa2HsnawM_&t=1645
