I will buy every Bitcoin in existence for approximately one twenty millionth of a cent each.
That made me laugh :)

What’s there not to like? Superconductors. Free electricity. No cooling necessary.
Put those three together and maybe it’s possible to push physics to its limits. Faster networking, maybe 4x-5x capacity per unit compared to earth. Servicing is a pain, might be cheaper to just replace the hardware when a node goes bad.
But it mainly makes sense to those who have the capability and can do it cheaply (compared to the rest). There’s only one company that I can think of and that is SpaceX. They are closing in on (or passed) 8,000 satellites. Vertical integration means their cost-base will always be less than any competitor.
Why is there no cooling necessary?

I kind of imagine more people going off and building their own companies.
I think so too. But because of code quality issues and LLMs not handling the hard edge cases my guess is most of those startups will be unable to scale in any way. Will be interesting to watch.

MAGA - Make America Grovel to Asia (coming in a few years). Trump is the single best thing that ever happened to China.

That was an excellent rabbit hole to go down while eating lunch :)

I wouldn’t call this next-gen SQLite. How can it be when the “QL” of SQLite is “Query Language” and this doesn’t have one? This is an object serialization library.

I didn’t realize AI could interact with browsers like this already (guess I’m naive). Isn’t this setting up for the scenario where the AI is duped into logging into your bank account and transferring your money away? Not sure I have enough trust to allow an AI to touch a browser.
Wow, that’s a lot more challenging than it looks. I agree with another commenter that the 3d blocks look confusing - they appear to cover two spaces.

Usually there are nuggets of wisdom in lists shared like this but I feel like every lesson shared here has immense value.
> "remain skeptical of your own certainty" > "Model curiosity, and you get a team that actually learns."
These are two lessons that typically require battle scars to learn. For such big ideas to be summed into two sentences is pretty remarkable and puts to words lessons I wish I knew how to share. Amazing article, thanks for sharing!
I was going to skip the article until I read your comment, and wow! You’re totally right - my hard won understanding is there, including things I sort of knew but couldn’t put into words before. Going to share this with my adult kids.
