@25:34 It wasn't just the broken treaty, The USSR and PRC were in open ground battles in Manchuria during this time. So from the Chinese perspective, they were caught between 2 nuclear armed enemies (three if you count England, a former colonial invader), which was highly motivational and worth the cost even during the worst of the "Grate leap forward", from their perspective. I know you hit on that, but I don't think you really emphasized that context enough.

This. Even in these comments you see ppl conflating the two. The ML technology is far more important than just chatbots.

They had a better "narrative"; "You (meaning the State) will own the land vs going back to being serfs."

Notice how in most of the facilities pictures every horizontal surface looks brown? That is dust. So keeping solar concentrators clean in a desert is a problem. Also they don't work at night, so you lose half of your production capacity.

@richardarriaga6271 Mistakes were made. However, no. Check your sociopathy.

The breakup of Yugoslavia and decent into chaos and mediocrity of all the constituent groups is such a tragedy on so many levels.
33
Would we be able to recognize it even if there were?

@mikebrown1970 The Battle of Zhenbao was the culmination of the territorial disputes that had been going on since '64. It was very much the scenario that drove their atomic program.
21
NATO didn't break up Yugoslavia. It was already broken before the UN ever did anything.
15
Well, I mean you can't just eat your own children, think of the... oh never mind.

Meh. The LLM datasets are less important than the algorithms that build them. GPT is just a chatbot. A big, good, training set is valuable for its functionally and the cost it took to build. Lots of datasets are being built these days. They are going to be like cyptos. The first one was valuable, but then everyone made one and the value of all dropped. Chatbots are good at "talking", as in it can predict what a human would say based upon the keywords in the prompt input. But the model does not "know" or "think" anything. Most of them are dumb. There best utility is in making serendipitous connections of concepts and ideas from masses of data.

Nit: The aerobrake was for terminal decent and landing where Venus' atmospheric pressure supercritical C02 is much denser than air on Earth. Not quite water, but I remember reading where they tested the lander in a pool for that. The high altitude test was for the parachute separation, and I guess to make sure it didn't go tail over teakettle on the way down.

And it only takes about a week to find and retrieve any specific file from it.

@isbestlizard That is not what the human mind is any more than it is a computer, or any other poor metaphor used before.

"Japan was still recovering from its ill-advised participation in WWII..." You win Internet understatement of the day.

One hopes that they would have had the sense to not nuke their neighbors that were all well within the fallout zone of each other. But the it would have made the UN and then later NATO intervention much more... complicated.
8
@Janezslovenski They voted for it and are "glad" because the unresolved issues and bigotry were never overcome only suppressed by Tito. All would be vastly better off if they had remained in a republic or commonwealth instead of minor petty ethnic states. Not to mention the waste and misery of the civil war.
8
@felipea1399 Perhaps. Or it would have prompted a full scale "intervention" to secure the weapons as soon as Yugoslavia fell apart.
7
@user-pd9ju5dk5s Except you are wrong. Mining and refining materials is just an application of engineering, likewise so is assembling a device. Knowing cars exist and what they are made of is not the same as designing and building one.
7
They had the advantage of being on the periphery of the Soviet empire so could maintain links and gain advantages with the free West.

@alanywalany6460 I guess you didn't pay attention to the end of the video...

@pretty7545 No and no. The fuel used for these desalination plants is a literal drop in the bucket compared to what is produced for power generation, vehicles, much less for export. But thanks for playing.
6
@user-pd9ju5dk5s Knowing something is possible is much different than solving all the engineering that makes it so.
6
@user-pd9ju5dk5s Irony. Go build a warp drive then. I'll wait up.
6
@Alex-fr2td Prices dropped due to market price collapse during the Great Depression not mechanization. This also has nothing at all to do with Soviet grain/food supply/demand malmanagment during the Civil War and 20s when demand and prices were high.
5
@idzkk A lot of inventions have no use cases. The US Patent Office is full of them.

@t9h3m Watch the video again and pay attention.

"The staggering sum of $53 million for the bomb..." Is "only" $700 million today. Not much as far as nuk'ler wa'pons go. Or was that supposed to be sarcastic?

AI Jailbreaking is probably going to take on a new meaning in the next while...

Quantum computers is the same as fusion power, always a decade away. And funded similarly. AI is just software. It has no practical limitations.

You can't really describe this subject without going into the jargon. Otherwise you are doing a Pop Sci "I like pie" video that is pointless at best. Current computing architecture and computing in memory is a completely apples and oranges comparison. So much so, that our way of thinking about it to try to make an apple that looks like an orange. I think this video does an inadvertent demonstration of that.
4
Sometimes its profitable, sometimes it was just stupid.

@JohnWayne-dh8gl Your post bears no resemblance to reality.
4
@deniskhafizov6827 You whatabouted all over that...
4
Not really. Its all VC and PE money. You have some retail investors but its all speculative investing. Money is still cheap historically. In fact there is far to much of it. Trillions of dollars could evaporate and it would not effect the real economy at all. Far less disruptive than if all the fever dreams of AI came true.
4
Except most development is based upon prior work. When you have a bot that can churn thru a million patents and papers it can put A, B, and Z together better than any human, or even collection of humans can. The intellectual theft problem isn't in the stealing of the LLM, its the theft of the documents or works by the company that builds the training model. Its common to pay for research papers and for books etc. The claim is that they are scraping the internet for these documents without compensation or paying royalties. Yeah, the CCP being able to develop a 5th gen fighter aircraft really weakened them. More insidious is that the authoritarian states like the PRC have institutionalized IP theft. They do this by forcing expats to spy with extorting them with implied threats to family and themselves. Chinese nationals really are a security threat to other countries and companies. That isn't sinophobia, its just reality.

@12:30 I doubt that is the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. @21:20 "Stalin's passing largely ended the threat of a Soviet...so Tito canned the program." Hungarians and Czechoslovaks would probably disagree. There is no way Tito would not have watched those "interventions" and not taken note of what happens to those who wanted to do their own thing. Its far more likely that Rankovic simply failed to establish a workable bomb program so they "retconned" the story to save face.

But no one knows which path leads to that future. So the money flows in.

@KevinBalch-dt8ot That estimate is nothing but a WAG, much like anything about it that you can read in open-sources.

Watch video again. It was drastic circumstances, it was sheer incompetence.

@illusion9423 Crypto is still a bubble that hasn't fallen yet.

A human being is a bit more complicated than an MPEG codex...

@tzoa4443 That you think that only means you are ignorant.
2
@Alex-fr2td That is wrong, completely backwards.

@kuni45 You missed the part about cogeneration.
2
The robots will solve that problem by putting the humans into a circulated filterd vat of fluids and plugging them into simulated virtual environment. Careful what you ask for.

@MickeyMishra Disneyland's real world practicality is separating people from their money.

@MickeyMishra So we'll be thought of like squirrels? Ignored unless we make pests of ourselves? Thats nice...

Hey look Marxist word salad!

@gtPacheko Thanks I needed a laugh. NK is modeled on Stalinism, i.e. Marxist socialism as a justification for totalitarianism. They sure don't call themselves that shit you made up. Very rarely are there famines and other economic failures in captialism, but they are distressingly common in socialism. The only people who starve in capitalist countries are the mentally unwell who can't fend for themselves, not whole swaths of the society.

@kordelas2514 Do you know what irony is?
2
@kordelas2514 Bless your heart. Take care and get help.

There is a still a hard drive industry?

Its very difficult to compress what entire books are written about into a 25 minute video. 很难将整本书的内容压缩成 25 分钟的视频。
2
@r0galik The irony of someone whining about capitalist collectivism while living and using the benefits of what other people created for them. Societies like Abania's was profoundly (and apparently unimaginably to you) more unjust, disfunctional, and exploited than even the worst liberal democracies.

It won't be long before a politician suggests we can just use Brawndo for crops instead of water. Problem solved!
1
@tzoa4443 Good because I don't argue with commiekiddies either.
1
@goodlife6277 Go to an authoritarian country and/or one with crushing poverty to gain an appreciation for what you take for granted.
1
@andro7862 Not entirely true, its more accurate to say they (Tito) played both sides. They were only able to say they were "nonaligned", trade with the West, and didn't get a Hungarian style "intervention" only because Yugo was inconvenient and insignificant to the USSR.
1
@tzoa4443 Your post is completely irrelevant to this conversation.
1
@coda9271 Ironic.
1
@goodlife6277 Careful what you ASSume because you know what that makes you look like right?
1
@goodlife6277 Obvious projection is obvious.

@proceduralism376 Report for reeducation citizen.

@FutureBoyWonder There is, thousands of similar regulations and red tape that make it not worth while here. That is the only reason why China has the market locked up.
1
IIRC. GE wasn't spending of "its" (shoarholder) money on Durathon, but it was using "Green energy" grants from the 08 Stumulus funding. They pulled the plug when the federal money ran out. I leave it up to you to decide if the whole thing was a scam or not.
1
@Zigglegarf That is its only practical value. As a data storage medium, not so much.
1
@lakeguy65616 Its not real money its just Fed monopoly money and imaginary "valuations". And the money won't be lost, it will actually leak out of the financial system and be spent on rent, buying equipment, and paying salaries, etc. in the real world.
1
@insu_na "it's just not intelligently guided." You/we do not know that. It is at least as likely as that immensely complex biological molecular machinery emerged by random chance. If it were Aliuns or Gawd is a separate question.
1
Which will require about 5 seconds to d/l that learning dataset.
1
@ntal5859 So no human ever questioned its creator?
1
@John_Smith_86 That is totally false. I was well understood if not the science it is today. The Reds simply rejected it in favor of wishful thinking and impractical theories written by a couple of dimwits in a Brussels coffee shop.
1
@ 9:30 Actually, it should be a sail boat. As in literally mounting sails on the iceberg and sailing it wherever its going.
1
I like how you had fun with this one.
1
LLMs don't drive cars. Machine learning apps are more accurate than human.

Its the heat that kills Venus probes not the pressure.
1
@jaystrickland4151 It might have been outlawed but it was still in effect, the peasant farmers were no more mobile or well off. The Czarist were very much about reestablishing the feudal status quo.
1
@kazaddum2448 The Red Army not only stole (giving a useless receipt isn't money) and killed/displaced whatever ethnic group that commanders didn't like or had a problem with, they also systematically engaged in class warfare against the "Kulaks".
1
@IncredibleMD Some were.
1
@dwayneelvis3295 Serfdom was legally abolished, but just like in America when slavery was, the elites found ways of keeping them tied to the land and in poverty.
1
Hey its a Ruzziaboo making excuses and casting blame.
1
Just 20 years too early. Otherwise they could have just hired Pakistanis like Kim did.
1
@DanielSMatthews It was an offhand reference to the Matrix movies dude.
1
@YouBrettcha Or its just a nod to the context without divergence from the topic of the video.
1
@5:50 The hydro power station, (the only part of the project that could have been economically viable by contributing to the power grid), was never built... Sigh...
1
@beaver528 I was quoting and commenting on the video's statement. So I refer your pedantry to the video's poster, which I imagine, did bother to check his facts before he typed. And is probably more correct than you as in the original project's organization canceled it. I personally don't care enough to look.
1
We should just make more Brawndo. Its got what plants crave.
1
@3:17 "Tanks?" US tanks and other systems using thermal imaginers use Germanium lenses and plates.
1
@neilrichardson7454 But only matters to those who don't matter. The haters and racists.
1
Because quite a few fortunes were built in that period of time. Capitalism is a ravaging fire. It burns resources wherever it derives its greatest return regardless of how long that lasts. Plus the future is never certain. That statement is very hindsighty.
1
I guess a 3 second video " Because socalism sucks. The end." wouldn't impress the algorithm very much...
1
@NoNameAtAll2 kordelas is apparently an idiot who thinks nucl'ar weapons don't exist.
1
@kordelas2514 I am not surprised at all that you have been called an idiot before. lol.
1
When AI starts mining crypto...
1
@Memepolicedoggo No one said capitalism wasn't messy.
1
@deniskhafizov6827 The only common factor here is the corruption that infected the USSR.
1
@darktorrent_ That is false. There were no such promises before the civil war.
1
@petardelic9079 LOL. Your tin foil is on too tight.
1
@barbarapitenthusiast7103 Cite the US law that says that please.
1
Jeff, still living rent free after all these years.
1
@Burevestnik9M730 Sanctions is the common excuse for bad government and corruption is what I think you meant to write.
1
No. Social order can be maintained quite well by totalitarianism.
1
The corrected height is right, but its really a misleading passage. That tested the entry parachutes and separation not really the aerobrake, which was designed for landing where the atmospheric pressure made the supercritical C02 more like water than air.
1
@user-pd9ju5dk5s Building a missile or bomb is "easy" when you know how to do it. So is refining toxic materials. What is hard is doing it the first time. Your comparison is not just wrong its meaningless. They are just applications of engineering solutions. You two loons go get a room.
1
@nvelsen1975 Do I have access to nation-state resources? No I haven't. So your statement is stupid.
1
It will just do any dumb sht the meat puppets tell it to.
1
@bartonfang Welcome to YouTube. And He did reference that most of the work was done by the Chinese. The assistance the Soviets provided is well documented. The rest, well that is editorial opinion license. It turned out that the Chinese have never needed their nuclear capability, so there is a valid argument that it was a misallocation of resources.
1
@bartonfang I don't need to read people's mind, I can read history. Try it with projecting your preconceptions.
