This is so cool! I'm someone for whom emacs has steadily expanded its role in my computing life, but who will never adopt a text-based browser as a daily driver.
Looking forward to the stable 4.0 release when I'll be prepared to use Nyxt and hope it can replace Firefox / Chromium as much as possible for me.

It’s weird how random people can submit non peer reviewed articles to preprint repos. Why not just use a blog site, medium or substack?
Two reasons:
1. Preprint servers create DOIs, making works better citable.
2. Preprint servers are archives, ensuring works remain accessible.
My blog website won't outlive me for long. What happened to geocities could also happen to medium.
Do you think this was an effect of this type of behaviour simply maximising engagement from a large part of the population?
Would be really fascinating to learn about how the most intensely engaged people use the chatbots.

Is it just me, or does this seem like big news?

Did any of the smart contract stuff turn out to be legit? Any of it at all?
Filecoin? Not sure if that's considered a "smart contract" since it's not eth-based.

Is it possible that after 3-4 years of performance optimizations, both algorithmic and in hardware efficiency, it will turn out that we didn’t really need all of the nuclear plants we’re currently in the process of setting up to satisfy the power demands of AI data centers?
If we're "lucky" (in an AI-optimist sense) we'll need the nuclear plants despite efficiency increases.
I fear this post's argument incorrectly assumes that the cap on insurance provides as 20% percent of revenue is the limiting factor on insurance company profits. In fact, it mentions cases where insurance company profits are below the cap! Their interest is not obviously to grow healthcare spending. So I'm not sure to what extent they truly endeavor to deny care so as to increase profit in the long run, and not just smooth a turbulent market.

Imo this depends on whether the limiting factor is demand or production.
If it's production capacity, then if in a year they're able to get TSMC to make them twice as many chips, they could likely increase their growth rate?
I'd be sweating if I were any of TSMCs other customers right now and trying to renew my contract. Idk what the ratio is in size between an H100 and an M3, but I doubt it's anywhere near proportional to how much nvidia is willing to offer TSMC.
Nvidia is doing fine :), but it would be better for them if they were not limited. Hopefully, and probably, you are right and production is limiting.
In other words, using the purely text-driven Emacs interface to browse multimedia web pages does not feel natural to me.
