That way you can also claim 100% of mining rewards with 51% hash rate.

How? If that were true you’d also be able to get 50% of block chain rewards with 25.1% of the hashing power. But you can’t because it isn’t true.

We used to have no regulations on healthcare. It was terrible.

Other countries don’t have populations chomping at the bit to allow Amazon to dropship healthcare. They aren’t perfect, but the US system is singularly broken.

They sort of do, Turkish hairlines, and Cali come immediately to mind. It’s just that you have to drop ship yourself there.

Yes, in rural Finland 17-year-old boys who just got their license regularly end up killing themselves and their friends by reckless driving.

I believe there is cultural issue with boys’ upbringing. Recently my 8-year-old daughter was spending a week with her mother’s relatives in middle Finland. One day she sent me a picture of an old Volvo in a ditch. “Guess what dad, my cousin drove it off the road and I was in the car!”

The cousin in question is ten years old. I was absolutely furious that they let the boy drive a real car and that my little girl was in it with no adult supervision. But my in-laws didn’t see a problem: “He was only driving on a private road — there’s no risk — everybody does it here — this is the best way to get the boys used to engines and driving.”

In my opinion this is how you train teenagers to think that safety and rules don’t matter, and that they’re invulnerable. But I can’t change these people’s views, so all I can do is try to make sure my daughter doesn’t ride with her cousins from now on.

At least your daughter had a good time.

How does one tariff a movie? It’s not like because it’s made in Australia that the blue rays are shipped through there? Not that anyone uses blue rays, like at what point does a movie go through customs

How do energy intensive processes like aluminium smelters or window glass producers preven their machines from self destruction ?

Power guarantees and insurance.

They are also frequently situated close to reliable power sources such as nuclear or hydro, usually fed by more than one generating station.

A friend of mine lived close to a brick plant his power NEVER went out.

Wheels is an interesting analogy. Wheels are more efficient now that we have roads. But there could never have been evolutionary pressure to make them before there were roads. Wheels are also a lot easier to get to work than robotic legs and so long as there’s a road do a lot more than robotic legs.

People think the first wheel was invented for making pottery. Biological machinery for the most part has to be self-reproducing so there is a lot of limitations on design, also it has to be able to evolve, so you get inefficient solutions like the vargas nerve (i think that's its name), basically there's a really long nerve in your body that takes a route under your trachea and then back up to another part of your brain, in giraffes its something like 40 feet long to go a few inches shortest path.

Wheels other than rolling would likely never evolve naturally because there's no real incremental path from legs to wheels, where as flippers can evolve from webbed fingers incrementally getting better for moving in water.

I dunno, maybe there's an evolutionary path for wheels, but i don't think so.

> and biologically implausible

I really like this approach. Showing that we must be doing it wrong because our brains are more efficient and we aren't doing it like our brains.

Is this a common thing in ML papers or something you came up with?

_3u10 · 5 months ago
Nah it’s just physics, it’s like wheels being more efficient than legs.

We know there is a more efficient solution (human brain) but we don’t know how to make it.

So it stands to reason that we can make more efficient LLMs, just like a CPU can add numbers more efficiently than humans.

It’s both, it’s not just a Miami thing. I hear it all over Latin America. In both ways like dale dale Olimpia (go <team> go).

Me: I’ll have a burger. Waiter: dale.

I don’t hear it much in Argentina tho, but maybe I wasn’t listening for it.
