  6. I think it's underappreciated how typical Japanese train stations (the larger ones) are also shopping centers. For example Osaka Station and its surroundings are just mind blowing. What I found confusing though is to figure out which type of train to take - so many different ones.

  8. Ceramics are not only known to be typically insulators, they are known to be exceptionally good insulators. In fact, when you look at high voltage lines, the long wiggly white columns are ceramic insulators - they provide mechanical stand-off while being electrically insulating. So the discovery that ceramics can be superconducting is kind of putting everything upside down.

  21. Actually we do have examples of countries that have resisted globalisation: Cuba and North Korea. They have kept their wealth quite successfully to themselves - often not voluntarily as trade barriers have prevented them from "giving their wealth" to others in exchange for goods. The people there must be quite happy too, as we don't hear of many complaints. Their political systems are also quite stable. They don't suffer from inrush of undesirable immigrants - in fact I heard they have net emigration. That is certainly good news for the remaining inhabitants as their jobs will be even more secure. I'm not familiar with the number of rules and regulations in those countries, maybe someone else can comment on that.

  27. "vertically" means that you try to in-source (manufacture yourself) what typical companies would buy from suppliers and maybe also go upmarket and take over distribution. Example: Tesla who now build their own seats (very untypical) and operate their own stores (no channel distribution). Not a monopoly yet though.

  31.  @carstenhansen5757  Why blame the uneducated for having kids when they actually save the country? Rich often believe that paying taxes is sufficient or they postpone having kids with all kinds of excuses. Taxes are necessary but not sufficient - we also need people to have a country. Bluntly said, who is going to wipe your ass when you are 95? Not your taxes, that is for sure. Ideal of course would be a combination, if the rich made more kids and the "uneducated" use less welfare. But in the absence of kids nothing else matters - we'd vanish into the clouds like the Minoans or the Aztecs or the Neanderthals.

  36. Turkey also has some Chaebols, Koç Group being a well-known one. They manufacture Ford cars in license and there is even the well-known Koç University. Sabanci Group is another Chaebol - they also have a university. Would be interesting to make an episode on Turkey and it's economy - given it's a predominantly Asian country it would be on-brand, too. They also have an interesting case of large military research and manufacturing base: Turkey is producing F16 fighters in license and more recently we saw their Bayraktar drones successfully operate in the Ukraine war.

  38. At my former employer we regularly sent packages worth >$500k overseas and always used a freight forwarder (e.g. DB Schenker). You get to send on defined INCOTERMS which precisely regulate transfer of risk, who pays for what part of the transport and who pays for customs duty - and of course we had transport insurance for the full value of the content. Also notably our transport insurance was with a separate insurance company, not with the freight forwarder. These freight forwarders also are very competent regarding customs etc. Stuff always arrived within ~1 week across the globe. We always used tilt and shock watches on all crates, to be able to prove when crates had been mishandled. These watches triggered only a few times, and in the 10 years I worked there we never actually had any damaged goods (although sometimes the crates themselves were damaged - most often the pallet "feet"). For small stuff that doesn't require a crate we used UPS and FedEx - never DHL. That small stuff (spare parts) could still be worth >$1000 and often be time critical too.

  47. If I were TSMC I would be more worried about my suppliers having too low profit margins. Last thing I want is my supplier going bankrupt and shipping no photoresist. JSR sales: The new photoresist will be $2500 per liter, please accept my apologies for this unreasonable offer, Mr. Chang. Morris Chang: Respectfully, please consider $2800 per liter, if you may. JSR: I am not able to accept this most generous offer, I am afraid. Morris: I must insist. JSR: We are honored to serve your business and with hesitation I shall revise the offer as desired. Once again, I apologize for monopolizing your valuable time.

  54. Don't forget inflation. If fewer people work we'll have fewer things produced while demand is still high and wages will go up (low supply of work). Out of the window go your retirement savings that you believed were adequate. Increased immigration is likely the lesser evil: yes, people around you will look different and talk different but at least you still might have a working health care system.

  58.  @jimmurphy6095  At first I thought "obviously at Bell Labs" but then I read first paragraph "Origins of the transistor concept" on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_transistor Apparently the (field effect transistor) idea was even patented in 1925, but no working device was built until the Nobel prize winners at Bell labs took care of it. I think building the thing is an very important step so the Nobel prize is well deserved.

  69. I think it will destroy the first class tickets for regular airlines, maybe even business class eventually. BFR doesn't need to match the mortality rate of present day airlines - nobody sits down and looks up mortality rates before deciding how to travel or whether to travel. Did you know whether it was 1 per 16 million or 1 per 100.000 before watching the video? It will be ok if they crash only once every couple of years. For public perception the frequency of bad events is more important. Government permitting is a thing but consider that they could fly from and to international waters

  71. Our physics professors preempted that experience by saying on day one: "Don't expect to succeed with minimal effort like you used to. This is going to take you at least additional 10 hours home work and self study per week or you will fail". TA's would try to calm us down: "Don't worry it's tough in the beginning but going to get easy after the first 4 semesters". Lying bastards.

  73. Yes, the Chinese automakers are trying the same though: a BYD in Germany is far more expensive than the same car in China. Result: year-to-date BYD sold only 228 units in Germany. Disaster. Only MG is doing pretty god (>9000 YTD) but they are priced much more reasonably.

  76. Agree this color looks really great. Also having seen an i4 IRL recently the grille appears less obscene than in photos. Have to keep in mind that BMW always try to get an aggressive look, so now we have the aggressive hamster. What's really disappointing though is the tiny screen - very impractical for displaying a map. Also no space for putting your smartphones. Then taking off that M-cover under the bonnet I got the same feeling when I opened my first DVD player.

  80. I would add: shareholders that invested their own money, not because they got free shares from the company they are supposed to watch over. Too many examples of the latter kind that get a stock grant and proceed to sell it all right away. Such kind of BoD member should be kicked out next round. I like the way Larry Ellison acted when he joined the Tesla board in 2018: Put $1B of his own money into Tesla before he joined the board. THAT is a true independent board member.

  81. I don't think "every manufacturer will want to build its own flavor" is generally true. In fact, if you are not a big (Intel size) manufacturer you may want to stay compatible with existing designs to encourage adoption. Yes, if you are Intel you may want to throw in your own salt to make life difficult for competitors. But I don't think this is generally true for every manufacturer.

  82. Because LLMs - once trained - don't extract rules from input data and do another step of applying those rules. That would be precisely the "synthesizing" step that Chollet talked about. LLMs just ingest the input and vomit out the most likely output. The human equivalent is a gut-feel reaction (what we call intuition) without attempt of reasoning.

  85. Europe has tons of mid-size and smaller software companies - most cash-flow positive and privately owned - that serve some niche (or local) market. Most have no ambition to become a Google since they are already cash flowing for their owners. SAP being the one outlier that is public and became quite large. But there are dozens of smaller ERP software houses some of which only serve one particular industry. Also there are tons of open source devs/projects run or started by Europeans, Linux being the most prominent one. OpenOffice evolved from StarOffice which was a private German software company that tried to compete with MS Office (I know the founder, he now runs a small software firm (profitable) as he doesn't want the stress of running a big show any more). KDE was started and still has many German devs too. Let's also not forget the the WWW was invented and first implemented at CERN in Europe by an Englishman (Tim Barners Lee). Americans then commercialized it with Mosaic and Netscape.

  90.  @johnjakson444  Youtube offers to creator automated comment moderation. You can hold all comments (meaning channel owner has to approve comments for them to become visible, hold "potentially inappropriate comments" or "hold a broader range of potentially inappropriate comments" or don't hold any comments. Since Jon doesn't hold all comments he's most likely using basic or strict moderation, in which case the "appropriateness" is a matter of Google algorithm (which can change any time).

  93. 0:40 It's quite likely that an apple was involved in Newton's discovery of gravity. Imagine Newton lying under an apple tree, looking up into the tree enjoying his afternoon. Suddenly he sees an apple accelerate towards him, maybe falling very close to his face. Isn't that unusual, he might have thought? Usually apples and things fall down, this one speeds sideways into my face! Ah no, I'm lying on the ground... That small change of perspective might have given him the hint that not up and down is the relevant relationship for gravity but rather towards. Smart people need only a small hint and they start digging until they find something.

  94. Hi David, Great post! The official announcement that fusion ignition has been achieved at NIF came just as your video went online. So good nose ;-) The funny thing about laser-based fusion is that the US has a big gap in commercial laser capability: There is NIF, which is a unique government entity and then there is nothing up until relatively 'pedestrian' commercial lasers by companies like Coherent (COHR) and MKS Instruments (MKSI), formerly Newport Spectra-Physics. The market of ultra-high power commercial lasers has been left to the Europeans, specifically two French companies Amplitude Technologies and Thales (yes, the defense giant). However, NIF and other US national labs still hold significant experience in very large scale lasers and laser optical systems (like how to manufacture them). So the big question is now will this NIF achievement trigger any development in the US laser industry or will they leave the field to the Europeans? My guess is US companies won't pick up the tech because the commercial opportunity of laser-based fusion is still far away and relatively uncertain and the business would be quite 'lumpy', i.e. one could only expect to sell maybe a handful systems per year. I also share your excitement regarding the other technologies, although I think that photonic chips are way too physically large to compete with silicon chips. But the article and paper you mentioned looks really interesting in as they have taken a different approach to training neural networks, not just tried to replicate silicon based algorithms. Hopefully the first CRISPR-based gene editing treatment will be approved by FDA next year - so far it's looking good and on track - first patients that participated in the clinical trials have already been cured.

  96. Die Bahn ist voll und langsam. Es bräuchte mehr Gütergleise, aber das ist teuer und bei Anwohnern unbeliebt. Enorm aufwändig eine neue Strecke zu planen. Außerdem brauchst du der Bahn mit einem einzelnen Container gar nicht zu kommen. Sieht anders aus, wenn du gleich einen ganzen Zug buchst, aber so viel Volumen hat vielleicht die BASF oder Autohersteller, wenn sie Fahrzeuge zum Hafen transportieren. Zumal der Aufwand zum Rangieren ja auch enorm ist - ein Güterwaggon kann ja nicht einfach mal die Ausfahrt nehmen. Auch wenn die Ware am selben Tag am Ziel sein soll, ist die Bahn eher ungeeignet. Und wer will schon seine Ware tagelang im Transit haben? Das ist ja unbezahlter Lagerbestand, solange die Waren nicht beim Kunden ankommt.

Elon makes outrageous claims, people should not make such claims, especially not billionaires. His companies execute so well, it must be due to fraud because my little company struggles to even stay afloat, let alone grow. So I shorted his stock and now I lost money as well. My company is competing with Tesla/SpaceX and we are struggling although we coasted along so well for decades, it's not fair."

  117. The biggest reason to own a vehicle vs renting is availability. The second one for families with small kids is convenience: if you own the vehicle you just leave the child seats in place. If you rent one you'd have to remove all personal belongings for each trip or specifically call a car with suitable child seats. Having said that, this Tesla Cybercab is obviously not suitable for families. There is another more psychological reason: if you own a care the direct cost of a specific trip is not obvious to you. It appears to be free. Most people use their cars as if it costs nothing to use them (in terms of what trips they make and the distances). This changes if you use a (robo)taxi. Every trip has immediately visible direct cost attached to it. Quick run to the grocery shop, $7.50. Pick up a friend somewhere across the city $12. Go to the cinema, add $8.75. Visit grandma $350. I'm telling you people won't like this. Having said that, a robotaxi compared to a classic rental car should have much better availability and hopefully lower cost. I have no car myself since a few years but I doubt Americans will easily give up car ownership. It requires a big change of habits. People don't like to change habits. Especially not if it decreases convenience AND adds directly visible cost. I'm saying people who own a car will keep their car and keep buying cars UNLESS they really, really cannot afford it or lose their drivers license. Customers will be mostly people who already don't own a car, travellers and young people who are not used to owning a car.

  118. Probably also worth noting: be very careful about what documents you sign as you leave the company. One of my former employers wanted me to sign a severance contract that would place additional non-disclosure burden on me and limit their liability with zero upside for me. I took a lawyer (it cost about $250) and she pointed out the issues in that contract and I just ended up not signing it. Other than that it was done you suggested, very professional, but that didn't mean that higher-ups/legal did not want to force their "standard procedure". So if any significant amount of money is involved (like potential severance payment or bonus not yet paid out) it's likely worth getting professional legal advice for a few hundred bucks.

  126. Agree with Immanuel. Commercial launch business is a tiny market compared to the entire "space" market that includes satellites and satellite-based services. Look up Bryce Space Report for numbers. For 2019 commercial (i.e. non-gov) launch was barely $5B while the entire global space economy was $366B (incl. gov) and $271B for all except gov. Majority of commercial market is TV ($92B) and GNSS chipsets and navigation devices ($97B). This makes sense: the closer to the end-user, the bigger the market. By establishing StarLink SpaceX will substantially expand the Global Space TAM, not just taking away business from other launch operators. (10 million StarLink customers at $100 per month subscription is $12B annual revenue). TLDR: the money is in the services and devices provided to the end-users, not in launch.

  128.  @RandyHill-bj9pc  That's the thing. You never know where new endeavors lead to. He wanted to go to Mars but on the way of doing that created Starlink, which has obvious utility for many humans. We don't know what else they will invent on the way to Mars, but likely candidates are new ways of (efficiently) cultivating plants, maybe new ways of communication (due to the minutes long time-lag between earth and Mars).

  129. Solar panel efficiency is growing slowly and steadily but we actually don't need to become much better at efficiency. Just improvement on production cost will be sufficient. Even if we stopped all innovation and prices/cost stayed the same it would still make sense to go with solar, we are low enough already - it's the cheapest form of energy generation in many places on earth.
    3
  130. I think their first problem on Mars - before any human sets foot there will be to get a propellant plant going - producing methane and oxygen. That in turn needs a beefy power source (I think ~100kW). According to Mars Direct plan the first trip would deploy such power and propellant plant and start producing propellant for the return trip - so before first humans depart to Mars there is already propellant for return trip ready.

  143. Elon was always very cautious in his "forward looking" statements regarding FS. He always used weasel words like "I believe", "I am pretty sure" etc. making whatever he said a personal opinion rather than a corporate statement. So technically he was not lying. What is more telling is that Tesla never published data about average miles between critical disengagements (an industry standard metric) and how this data trends over time. Pretty sure Elon is looking a precisely that data daily but not making it public gives us a hint that it's probably not going up fast enough. Instead Tesla opted to show us "cumulative miles driven on FSD" in their quarterly update presentations. The fact they are using cumulative miles tells us again that they needed to show a FSD-related graph that goes up and to the right. A more honest graph would show use (non-cumulative) miles driven on FSD or FSD user numbers (hopefully going up).

  158. We have a similar problem in Lüneburg, a town near Hamburg. The cause is/was extraction of salt from below the city by washing it out with salt brine (Lüneburg has a 1000 years-old history of salt extraction). Subsidence has largely stopped since extraction has been reduced in the 1980ies but some hot spots still subside, likely driven by rain water.

  169. I would expand that to analyze the container shipping industry. In fact you could do an entire series on logistics. What is a freight forwarder? Ocean shipping, how do container terminals work, rail, trucking, air freight etc. In the above case of ZIM their revenues and profits went through the roof because container rates went up 10x in the past year (i.e. they raised prices).

  177.  @ElementaryWatson-123  Probably because the simulations were not business critical. If one takes a few minutes longer it's not going to upset customers. So they can go for a cheaper system. Also notably the RAM per core ratio is much higher for z16: 200 GB per core vs your stated 100 TB/20k cores is only 5GB per core. Really depends on precisely the type of simulation they ran but 5GB can be low for some scenarios but quite ok for others.

  192.  @anythingplanet2974  But AI alignment is not the biggest problem. The problem is (and has always been) alignment of humans with other humans. Unaligned (evil) human V.P. will advance AI no matter what regulations in the US or Europe mandate. You can attempt to curb it by limiting the means of production, i.e. computing hardware, not by limiting the distribution of information (which is too easily leaked and cannot be taken back).

  205. One interesting aspect about solar irradiance: The amount of solar power incident on earth in daytime (1kW/m²) is pretty much at the limit of what humans can survive without protection (like shade). If it were 2x as much we'd have real problem to even stay outside. So I think we are kind of lucky to have the max amount of solar that is survivable.

  206. Yes maybe, but then why did SNAP guide so high? Certainly they must also be aware of the lapping effect and their own past revenues LOL. Anyway, you could likely provide add value if you let us know how your YT income is comparing to past year. Is GOOGL ad business slowing down as well?
    2
  207. Yes it's sustainable because Lithum and Cobalt go into the battery that has decades of lifetime and after that they will be recycled - they aren't burnt to end up in the atmosphere unlike hydrocarbons. Why will Li and Co be recycled? Because their density in battery material is far higher than in ore. It's going to be cheaper to recycle than to dig out new at some point tin the future (20 years from now).

  216. I don't think Tesla will put NMC cells in Powerwalls or Megapacks, at least not for first use (i.e. maybe after a life in a BEV it will get a second life in stationary application). Would make more sense to use LFP for Powerwalls, cheaper and can do way more cycles than NMC.

  222. Some meta-tip: As far as your workplace is concerned, always maintain the initiative, i.e. don't wait to get fired - but fire your employer before he/she can fire you. That way you won't end up in a situation where you are under time pressure to take a new job. Great jobs aren't available at all times - it may take a couple of months for an opportunity to emerge. That's why when you feel that you aren't valued any more or you can't provide the value the company expects from you, you should look out for the next job so you can quit before getting fired.

These issues are within the power of Tesla to fix and it would be the responsibility of Tesla sales to identify and escalate any complaints before customers jump ship.

So if you want to learn about these study physics.

  250. You could also say that the crazy wealth concentration is a consequence of employees having no stake in the companies they work for. Instead employees are compensated by a fixed salary while business owners (including employees who are compensated by stock) capture the remaining part of the value that is generated - and a LOT of values was generated in the past decades - see stock market. The way out is to follow the Tesla example: make all employees co-owners of their companies. This lets them participate more in the success and at the same time aligns incentives between company and employees. It would also dissipate the fears of robots or AI taking away jobs: if you co-own the robot and/or AI you participate in the value it generates.

This is useful if you just want to warm up milk or warm up something else, but not boil it: heat water to 70°C, pour it in pot, then carefully place glass of milk in pot. Since amount of milk is usually less then the water in the pot milk will only warm up no more than half way to 70°C or about 40°C so about body temperature.

  265. I think the China risk runs under item 1) government risk. My perception is that Elon has very good relations with Chinese government and if you ever did business in China you know that having personal relations is key. No sure anybody noticed that Elon never critises the Chinese gov - unlike the banter he puts out on US gov and entities - whenever he is asked in interviews about China his replies are always very positive and cautious. It's apparent in what benefits Tesla gets in China, like the recent land tender that nobody else bid on etc. There were some hiccups too and Tesla CN addressed these very quickly when they were called out. Tesla brings a lot of value to the Chinese people - it aligns very well with their stated goals in many ways. So in summary, I think Elon knows very well how things run in China and how to play there to stay in the game so I'm not worried.

  272. 19:00 "Computers can share information instantly" - well data - yes, but sharing information across computers (or even different softwares) requires common understanding of the format, i.e. a common language. Any business that has ever attempted to make two softwares work together knows how difficult that problem is. Consequently, I suspect that sharing information between humans connected via Neuralink will have a similar challenge: sharing of thoughts will require the translation of thoughts into a common language. Currently this is performed by converting our thoughts to speech or writing. This will be a non-trivial problem. We don't know how common or different in_detail the neurological connections and internal representation of thoughts are between humans. It could very well be that sharing of thoughts via Neuralink will still require users to formulate some kind of internal speech and that would likely slow down the sharing process significantly.

  290. Not only has hardware a disadvantage due to lack of "right to repair" but software has very strong unfair advantages that are called "licensing" and "copyright" - purely legal concepts, fictions. Without copyright software would be very vulnerable. It would be difficult to make money with software if everybody could just copy software. Licensing then allows software companies to force upon customers almost arbitrary limitations in how they can use the software and what rights they have (typically almost none). You see, when you buy hardware the manufacturer cannot restrict how you use the hardware, how long, for what purpose and as a customer often you have certain minimum rights in terms of quality of the product (aka warranty). With licensed software you have almost no warranty ("as is") and it is expected and acceptable that software is defective, often without obligation to fix those defects.

  299. It's not like CEOs at that pay grade will scramble to get a new job the minute they get fired. Keep in mind they all get insane amount of stock or stock options and these typically only vest as long as they remain employed. So CEO-optimized plan would be: keep stock price high as long as possible while selling as many held shares as possible and then let the company abruptly drive into the ground. This implies for example that they won't stop paying dividends (which would likely tank stock price), although they should to conserve cash.

  307. Dreamer, I disagree that cooperation and capitalism are antithesis. Capitalism only works with cooperation: A company is a group of people cooperating for a common goal. To sell a product you need cooperation from the buyer (he has to trust you that you will deliver what you promised). Money is also built on cooperation - believing in the value of a certain piece of paper, that some foreigner will give something of value to you in exchange for that paper. Cooperation is absolutely essential for capitalism to work. It's not equivalent though, so not every cooperation has to be capitalistic (obviously).

  338. I think you could fly Starship around the world for relatively low cost - if and only if it is fully reusable. In the limit cost will be dictated by fuel cost, which is liquid methane and liquid oxygen. Both can be generated from our atmosphere by expending energy. That energy being solar has zero marginal cost (pure capex). So operating costs for trans-continental Starship flights would be mission center + inspection, and launch towers cost (people). Also this means is would be essentially net zero carbon emissions (of course need to be careful to not have any methane leaks). For transporting raw materials probably still more expensive than shipping but if you need to expedite maybe feasible.

Company will fire employee if their services no longer needed (or inadequate), again because profits. Company needs profits to continue to exist. So you did the right thing, move on. Always important to keep the initiative in employment matters. No need to become cynical, you just became smarter.

  395. US still going strong in the biotech / pharma sector as far as govt/college funding is concerned. Ever heard of NIH, Broad Institute etc? The reality is that US companies realized that it's very difficult to make money with hardware. Way easier with software and that is a consequence of a legal pecularity: instead of selling software outright you can (and everybody does) just license it for use, retain all ownership and control of the software. That gives you way more control over the customer. Whereas with hardware the minute you delivered it the customer has full ownership and control. Only Apple has figured out how to make money with hardware and that was by combining it with software and removing control of the hardware from users. That way Apple can get a 30% cut of EVERY monetary transaction on their phones for example. Imagine you manufacture cash registers and get 30% of revenue from every transaction. Back to biotech and pharma - you now realize that those sectors are likewise very well protected and developed in terms of IP and licensing and that makes it easier to defend and more money can be made and therefore flows into that sector.

Also did the same for other types of testing machines, like hardness testing etc. Later that company moved to Windows NT.

  413.  @falklumo  In fact, I would say that most high-school math is about memorizing outright results (what is 2 x 3?) or at least solution recipes (solve linear equation). Only at university level - when you are asked to come up with proofs that you haven't seen before - are you actually challenged and need to apply intelligence. Example: When I ask you what is 2+2 you don't actually start to add 2 and 2 and compute the result. You did it so many times that you memorized the result of 4 and reply within < 1 second. But when you ask a first-grader they have to actually sit down and literally put 2 and 2 together - it requires significantly more mental effort and time. The rest of math in school is just memorizing increasingly more complex concepts or results. Also grading in school using tests that limit your available time are all about testing for memorization - there is often not enough time to apply intelligence to derive solutions.

  421. I don't pay full price mostly because I can also get the game at a discount. Just need some patience. Sometimes (actually often) I buy early access titles (at moderate discount) - but only if that title is playable and reasonably free of bugs. That helps dev to financially bridge the gap to release. In fact, I own many games that I haven't yet played after official release.

  489. It's actually rational to do that from the point of view of the employee: avoid the large risk of getting fired if a big change doesn't materialize as planned. Even if the probability of failure is small if the consequence is a catastrophic loss of job you'd avoid it. Especially given that implementing such big change as switching to giga castings requires top-notch execution not only from your organization but also from the supplier. The first manufacturer and his supplier both took the risk and proved it can be done. That made it less risky for everybody else to follow. Now it's a question of leadership how they deal with employees taking risks: do they encourage it or discourage it? I'm also 99% sure that a decision like going for gigacastings was backed by Elon himself, maybe he was even pushing for it.

In fact if I wanted to know more about competitor devices best way was to go to their JP distributor website and look at their data sheets there. It was all laid out in great detail, just needed a bit of google translate.

Most of the $130M is likely development cost that spreads over all suits produced.

Even BYD could be risky as their profit margin is razor thin - not much room for error.

Then you check open source bug reporting portals and the abuse that users sometimes get from devs is unthinkable in a commercial setting. I still think open source is good and there are many useful projects but it often takes forever to implement needed features (like you could wait a decade if no dev is personally interested in your feature).

  590. He said "latent heat of evaporation". That's how deep this went. Anyway, I got suckered into one of those as a wine refrigerator. That is a thing in Europe. And those seem to almost always be Peltier-based (going after the EU energy efficiency label, which they almost all score in the worst category) - it's advertised to consume 300kWh per annum which is about 100€ (~$110) per annum of operating cost. So this thing is sucking dry my wallet and wife is watching over it like a hawk. It already cost more to operate than to re-buys its entire content (of presumably high-quality wine) as it can hold only 16 bottles. So encouraged by this video I tried to find an actual heat-pump based wine refrigerator, but there seems to be only one manufacturer and the product is not available.

  594. It's also incredibly difficult for a single human to make significant progress for humanity. We are just adding our little mosaic piece (if we are smart and motivated enough). The very best of us may be able to add several pieces (think Einstein) - but we all stand on the shoulders of giants, our ancestors who added their pieces. All that only works out so well, because we can effectively communicate across space and time using written language.

Why would malevolent dictator X implement his military AGI with Shapiro-COFs instead of his own COFs? If alignment is actually prompt engineering then it would be fairly easy to manipulate. OTOH, how much "damage" could one (or a handful) of AGI agents do against 8 billion human level intelligences?

It's likely driven by the E.U. funding model where it's advantageous for proposals (to be funded) if you have more and diverse collaborators (diverse in the sense of a mix of industrial and research institutions).

As the name implies, it limits your (financial) liability in case of bankruptcy. Yes, banks will question your business skills if you went bankrupt but you are free to get money from venture capitalists / angel investors, like is customary in the US for risky business. And that is where a lot of difference is to the US: Europe doesn't have that much VC money chasing opportunities floating around.

  652. Lane, you have to distinguish to whom the statements were made: Amazon and Google claiming they are not monopolies were statements to the government in the context of hearings. PLTR statements were directed at prospective customers and investors. Of course if you want to attract investors, you claim a monopoly. If you want to convince a customer you tell them they have no alternative other than to build themselves (which in case of PLTR is actually true).
    1
  653. No, I think they want to slowly raise the amount of VRAM with every generation, to keep up demand. Also large amount of RAM is typically needed by AI applications, so giving consumer GPUs low amount of RAM naturally prevents use of consumer GPU for serious AI workloads.

  654. Also GPUs need to hit certain price points. If you add more RAM than absolutely needed you'll have a premium card (which indeed are those with more RAM).

  655. It's not so fun when you are an actual user of such killed products. It just shows that Google is in the end a consumer company. It's the opposite of what a real BUSINESS like Microsoft is doing - keeping stuff running and backwards compatible because they understand that their customer depend on it and invested in this stuff and taking it away can result in huge cost or finding and implementing a replacement and it destroys trust. I would as a business never build on Google because you can't trust them.

That is, you did test the "pieces" independently, but that doesn't guarantee successful operation of the entire construct (in case some interpretation differences at interfaces).

  756. I think the key to jump start the space economy is to get a critical number of people into space, i.e. at least into orbit - that is the market in space that space business can sell to (apart from dropping stuff on earth, but you could do that robotically without people in space). It's very likely that you'll have to CREATE that market. In a similar way a real estate developer would develop an area: by investing. So you might have to send the first 1000 or 10,000 people to space at a low an attractive price and maybe even have a station there ready or a base. These could be space enthusiasts who just want to be there and have enough spare cash to spend while being there. Those people will be the market and create the demand for the next wave. Soon enough people will crave for a fresh carrot or want a real pizza: there will be opportunity for gardeners and pizza entrepreneurs, so it will attract business and people. Important is to keep the momentum of growth and reach a critical size so that the community can be nearly self sufficient to limit expensive haulage of stuff from earth.

  757. Well the "two light cones overlap by 1°" means the the next mirrors (before and after the mask) would have to physically overlap. That's not possible - you can't have two things in the same place. Jon's graphics here is not accurate, he should draw actually overlapping cones instead of keeping the same cone and just putting the word "overlap" there.

Also the optical path will become very elongated (vs. folded in a compact space) as mirrors have to have very low angle of incidence, as previous poster mentioned. Basically like synchrotron beamlines.

  796. I heard somebody argue that we already live in the age of abundance. Only things that are truly scarce cost a lot of money: land (because of location) and in extension housing, branded stuff, college tuition (a variant of brand). While the common necessities are relatively cheap (relative to income): food, electronics, energy. Products and services that require a lot of labor remain expensive (healthcare, construction to some extent). But I hear you say "it doesn't feel like that - everything is so expensive". And that is right, too. I believe to some extent it is because we desire those expensive things and to some other extent parts of the economy are hijacked (e.g. US healthcare, probably housing as well). We desire to go to Ivy league colleges. We desire fashion etc. In fact, a large part of creating a profitable business nowadays is to think about how you can make your products more desirable in the eye of the customer. That is what branding is all about and large parts of marketing. Ever heard of "demand generation"? Most businesses don't struggle to make stuff, they struggle to get customers in the door. So in conclusion I think money will remain important to allocate those scarce products and services and even if we already have everything we need the next Steve Jobs is working hard on creating another thing that we didn't even know we needed but we desire it now that it exists. And if that new Steve Jobs is smart he will now we desire this thing and make the price high.

  806. For a material to exhibit ferromagnetism (i.e. what we call a permanent magnet) you need a certain number of atoms - too small and it won't stay magnetized. Also there are issues with switching the magnetization fast enough. Now you could envision to use a SINGLE atom's spin to store (or manipulate) information - this is called spintronics. But there are challenges to make it reliable enough as there needs to be very good isolation for surrounding environment. Spintronics is an ongoing research topic - would actually be interesting for Asionometry to cover it. It's a little bit like fusion power is for energy: the elusive holy grail of miniaturization.

  815. You have to factor in that self driving cars will be driving much more cautious and defensive than humans. That alone will reduce likelihood of accidents. Yes it's gonna be annoying for the human drivers around them, deal with it. As for liability my prediction is that car manufacturers will assume that risk. It's basically product liability. Monetary risk will be taken by manufacturers (or fleet operators) either directly or by including insurance coverage. First manufactuer who offers this will take the market and put pressure on everyone else. That will incentivize them to improve safety which is desirable, so society will likely support that scenario with suitable legislation (product liability).

  825. Today we are multi-kW peak level of energy consumption: HVAC and electric stoves need a few kW when operating. Cars use 50 - 500kW peak and are charged at ~5-10kW averaged.

The realtor also knew exactly how to sell it: open both wings, step aside and shut up. However, they were full wooden doors, so depending on weather they would get stuck a little bit. The ceiling height in that apartment was also ridiculous, I think about 3.5m - that is about 11 or 12 feet (adds to the imperial feeling, btw.)

  855. Sasha, they did comment about gov contracts - specifically they said they are providing gov services now even if orders have not yet been formally placed - simply due to the urgency of the situation. It is also known (from their 10-K - search for "seasonality") that gov contracts are seasonally low in Q1 and Q2. They explicitly commented that US gov budget just released led to delayed orders and expect pick up in H2. Frankly, I'm not so much worried about Palantir's performance in the (somewhat limited) gov sector. Commercial TAM is far, far greater and it's really important to seize that opportunity. Actually I am amazed that they are able to grow that fast in commercial with a brand new sales team. They have a complex product suite and enterprise sales cycles are long. It probably takes at least 6 months to grasp the product before you can effectively demo it to prospect customers without looking dumb.
