Mili Państwo, od jutra do 8 maja nie będzie działał reaktor MARIA. Powód? Wygasa licencja Państwowej Agencji Atomistyki, a proces wydania nowej nie został ukończony. Oznacza to, że przez ponad miesiąc jedyny działający w Polsce reaktor jądrowy nie będzie produkował molibdenu-99…

I don't know, that "we can also" seems pretty incriminating.

"Self driving car is essentially solved (...)" - Marc Andreessen in a discussion with Peter Thiel in 2013.

Marc Andreessen says OpenAI's Sora is not only an AI model for video, it is a world model and the implication of this is that the fundamental challenge of robotics is solved and Westworld is only a few years away

Haniebna decyzja o umorzeniu śledztwa ws. śmierci Jolanty Brzeskiej. Uzasadnienie, które nie wyklucza samobójstwa jeszcze bardziej bulwersuje. Ukręcenie śledztwa na oczach całego państwa to dowód na to, że elity dla pieniędzy mogą w Polsce zrobić wszystko i pozostać bezkarne.

For digital microscopes, the "magnification rate" is an illusion. If you have a home projector, you can easily get >600x.

"YOU WILL OWN NOTHING, AND BE HAPPY." - World Economic Forum. Comment by Yann LeCun, head of AI (Meta). This is the end game right here. Its a war for the human soul.

I am very sad to inform this place, which he pretty much hated, that @dgolumbia died this morning. Any of his friends can contact me for further information. The love he shared with his friends and his brilliant research and writing are his legacy.

Transparent inlines are fully supported in Metals so let's take a look at a small library @Kordyjan, the S3 compiler team lead, is working on in spare time: github.com/Kordyjan/pytan… Here's an interpolated graphql query that generates types as it's parsed. 2/

All of this would be appalling but essentially not worth commenting on if it wasn't gaining influential ground in the real world. The best person by far on all of this is @xriskology. Their work to understand and untangle longtermism has been brilliant salon.com/2022/08/20/und…

An absolutely brilliant critique of longtermism by Dr. Alice Crary. I highly recommend it! So nice to see other philosophers sounding the alarm about how dangerous and deeply flawed the longtermist ideology is. Again, very highly recommended: radicalphilosophy.com/commentary/the…

Ok Silicon Valley bros just got bailed out. Now come the lies about how this is not actually a bailout and no taxpayer money was used. Wheeee!

Every company has tech debt, but Twitter 1.0 had extensively invested (pioneered even) many mechanisms to safely test and deploy changes (including many types of config changes) in prod. Guess all those thousands of engineers were actually doing something worthwhile, after all.

"As geeks we now seem to be stuck in a perpetual anti-hype cycle, where Silicon Valley ... sell[s] the world on a new 'disruptive' thing and all of the sane people have to point out why that thing does not and can never do what is promised of it." dznz.substack.com/p/not-making-a…

1/ We won. Elon is going to step down. Worth thinking through the next big lie Elon is going to tell. That Twitter was going to go bankrupt before he bought it. This is another lie. Let’s look at the numbers. My sourcing is @WSJ.

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Yes %57.5
No %42.5
