So if we can somehow preserve the signal and make it go round and round, can we get long term storage out of nothing?
This is possible but you'd have to deploy it right by a black hole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere

> Apple --> OpenAI can make a device that runs ChatGPT as the OS instead of relying on iOS.
Yeah... No they can't. I don't agree with any of your "disruptions," but this one is just comically incorrect. There was a post on HN somewhat recently that was a simulated computer using LLMs, and it was unusable.
Not to mention you would need an order of magnitude improvement in on-device inference speed to make this feasible at current smartphone costs. Or they could offload it and sell an insecure overpriced-subscription laggy texting device that bricks when you don’t have cell service…
they will be dependent on their allies for fuel sources..
in a list of countries with uranium resverves 1-59 they're number 55!

The U.S. is ranked #17 in that list at 101,900 tonnes, not #55.

I happened to have been assigned Moby Dick in 9th grade English class. Foolishly put off reading it until the night before the book report was due. Got about 1/3 of the way through and went through life thinking it was boring. Fast forward decades, I'm now reading it for real. It hilarious, it's pause encouraging, I love it! (And I'm still only 1/3 through.)
Honestly, even getting through 1/3 of it in a night is pretty impressive. Certainly took me several weeks freshman year of college.
Looks to me like initialisms get periods unless they are acronyms or trademarks. So "ICE" is fine because it is read as "ice" and not I.C.E. (eye-see-ee). REI is not an initialism though, but presumably they have kept it as-is because it's their trademark/"doing business as" style.
Erratum: I meant to say that REI is an initialism but not an acronym
> Is "A.I." NYT house style? Looks rather jarring.
I think their style is to use periods for acronyms, which I believe is traditional. A quick scan of their recent headlines turns up "U.S", "A.I.", "A.T.M.", "ICE", "L.P.G.A.", "REI", "U.K." I don't know what the reasoning behind the use of "ICE" and "REI" is, could be a mistake or a judgement that those words are tend to not be understood as acronyms, or something else.

It's not abundantly clear that merely booting this operating system FORMATS YOUR DISK. Yes, there's a grub menu, but it has something like a 2 second timeout before it destroys all your data.
Yes, of course that is terrible and should be made way more clear. My response was a joke about how it technically sure does eliminate distractions.

Matter of time until markets reckon with AI investment crowding out non-AI investment (cf. the massive oversubscription of Meta's latest bond offering). Must suck to be a small-cap firm squeezed by tariffs raising costs, unemployment lowering demand, and AI investment raising your own non-AI cost of borrowing.
It didn't ask you to confirm it would wipe things? You just booted and the data was gone? That seems like a massively user-hostile choice.
What did you think they meant by distraction-free? Vibes? Essays? Papers?
He's not clearly right on Nvidia. People have been saying "it's clearly overvalued" for years now. And it just keeps growing at an insane pace and quite frankly their position in the market isn't really being eroded by anyone. There are hopes and dreams, but little real competition.
A good time to remember that Cisco was briefly the most valued company in the world: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/24/technology/cisco-briefly-...
