It starts with mutations (sometimes accelerated by mutagens (smoke, alcohol, etc) or inflammation (viruses, infections, etc) or just chance (things like asbestos up the division rate by constant physical damage and thus up the probability or an error in copying).

But there is much more to it. This is a nice paper for an overview: Hallmarks of Cancer (tng) [0]. It (among others) adds the very important and for years underestimated role of the immune system to the original 2000 paper.

Would sports also increase the rate of division? Bodybuilding for example you intentionally make micro tears in muscles to get them to repair and grow (lay person, apologies for the mistakes)

GPUs aren't built in the US, though. I wonder, what percentage of all the stuff in a typical datacenter is actually made in the US

allie1 · 2 months ago

The margins collected by Nvidia end up in the US. And Nvidia and its employees get paid in the US. Only a small part of the revenue is outside the US.

I mean, most of my friends (especially the artists but also software devs) seem to hate AI with a passion: sometimes because of the ethical bankruptcy, other times because of the amount of slop it produces and how in your face it is due to the hype cycle, other times due to a belief that it more or less leads to brainrot and atrophy of cognitive abilities.

The slop is real. Especially when I see promoters of platforms for vibe coders. They don't understand the implications of lack of security in potentially viral apps. It's easy to consider them as WMDs.

People have the same password across services. They share personal information. In a geopolitical climate as today's, where the currency of war is disruption, it can wreak havoc.

Zed. They've upped their game in the AI integration and so far it's the best one I've seen (external from work). Cursor and VSCode+Copilot always felt slow and janky, Zed is much less janky feels like pretty mature software, and I can just plug in my Gemini API key and use that for free/cheap instead of paying for the editor's own integration.

I just wish they'd release a debugger already. Once its done i'll be moving to them completely.

I think the issue with saying “make good new things” is that things themselves aren’t inherently good or bad—they’re just things. It’s the person who makes them that can be good or bad.

I have a saying (among others from my dad) that captures a similar idea: “Make things, and be good.”

allie1 · 9 months ago

I think it’s good in the sense of things that are positively affecting others’ lives.

Accepting a presidential pardon requires an admission of guilt. Would being a confirmed criminal aide them in business in any way?

allie1 · a year ago

For a crypto based business for something that crypto enthusiasts wouldn't consider a crime, probably would help.

Consistent here meaning, I guess, that all voting power will go to Sam Altman personally, right?

allie1 · a year ago

yeah, split with Microsoft.

The most surprising thing to me in this is that the non-profit will still exist. Not sure what the point of it is anymore. Taken as a whole, OpenAI is now just a for-profit entity beholden to investors and Sam Altman as a shareholder. The non-profit is really just vestigial.

I guess technically it's supposed to play some role in making sure OpenAI "benefits humanity". But as we've seen multiple times, whenever that goal clashes with the interests of investors, the latter wins out.

allie1 · a year ago

We haven't even heard about who gets voting shares, and what voting power will be like. Based on their character, I expect them to remain consistent in this regard.
