You generate value you get rewarded… it is as simple as that

@SawyerMerritt They will be remembered to be on the wrong side of history

@adcock_brett Goal is to make this live stream boring…. That is when we know robots are doing a good job

@TeslaCharging please add super chargers at all National parks visitor centres… it’s really hard to find one close by any that I have visited.
English

@pmddomingos Of you claim to know the next step of the simulation and you are in it you probably wrong.

@SawyerMerritt @TeslaCharging I wish all National park and state park visitor centre’s have superchargers in their parking lots. Ideally the National park themed skins on the chargers (Zion for Example)

NEWS: Tesla plans on building the largest Supercharger station in the world, with a whopping 304 charging stalls in total, including 16 Tesla Semi charging stalls.
• 288 charging stalls for cars
• 16 stalls for Tesla Semis
• Amenity area
This Supercharger location will have 85% more charging stalls when complete than Tesla's current largest Supercharger in the world (164 stalls) in California. This 304 stall station will be in Firebaugh, California.

A massive new Supercharger expansion is coming soon to Firebaugh, California!! Last month, Tesla was granted a conditional use permit for the addition of 232 stalls in the agricultural lots north of the existing site. The expansion will also feature 16 new Semichargers.

BREAKING: Sugars essential for life have been found in pristine asteroid Bennu samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Combined with previous detections of amino acids and nucleobases, we see that life’s ingredients were widespread throughout the solar system: go.nasa.gov/48MTu9i

@springinthebat @LEVIS Was at the movie theaters and these folks should be paid more, because they were so calm while directing us out through emergency exits. Glad you were ok!

@Careerflex Similar thing happened to a Indian family and there is good movie “Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway“ made on the Mothers story on how she got her kids custody back from these authorities…

This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.
In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.
I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.
What happened instead nearly destroyed us.
I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm
I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.
We tried to be the ideal expat family.

ok, you've had a week to think about it. who's in?
no sugar nov 21 - jan 2
eat all you want: blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, apples, kiwi, pomegranate, etc.
avoid cookies, pies, cakes, sweet drinks, chocolates, cocktails, anything with added sugar...
on the other side, you will be able to say:
+ I have agency
+ I am no longer controlled by urges
+ I am more emotionally stable
+ I feel more self-confident
+ I feel more energetic
if you commit, you also commit to report back in on jan 2nd to share how you did.

Sharing an interesting recent conversation on AI's impact on the economy.
AI has been compared to various historical precedents: electricity, industrial revolution, etc., I think the strongest analogy is that of AI as a new computing paradigm (Software 2.0) because both are fundamentally about the automation of digital information processing.
If you were to forecast the impact of computing on the job market in ~1980s, the most predictive feature of a task/job you'd look at is to what extent the algorithm of it is fixed, i.e. are you just mechanically transforming information according to rote, easy to specify rules (e.g. typing, bookkeeping, human calculators, etc.)? Back then, this was the class of programs that the computing capability of that era allowed us to write (by hand, manually).
With AI now, we are able to write new programs that we could never hope to write by hand before. We do it by specifying objectives (e.g. classification accuracy, reward functions), and we search the program space via gradient descent to find neural networks that work well against that objective. This is my Software 2.0 blog post from a while ago. In this new programming paradigm then, the new most predictive feature to look at is verifiability. If a task/job is verifiable, then it is optimizable directly or via reinforcement learning, and a neural net can be trained to work extremely well. It's about to what extent an AI can "practice" something. The environment has to be resettable (you can start a new attempt), efficient (a lot attempts can be made), and rewardable (there is some automated process to reward any specific attempt that was made).
The more a task/job is verifiable, the more amenable it is to automation in the new programming paradigm. If it is not verifiable, it has to fall out from neural net magic of generalization fingers crossed, or via weaker means like imitation. This is what's driving the "jagged" frontier of progress in LLMs. Tasks that are verifiable progress rapidly, including possibly beyond the ability of top experts (e.g. math, code, amount of time spent watching videos, anything that looks like puzzles with correct answers), while many others lag by comparison (creative, strategic, tasks that combine real-world knowledge, state, context and common sense).
Software 1.0 easily automates what you can specify.
Software 2.0 easily automates what you can verify.

@wholemars @grok why is Satoshi never considered in the worlds richest people list?
English

I wonder if he’s alive. Would be really hard to not touch a $128 billion fortune
raghav@raghavdotsol
not even a single $ has moved since the last 16 years peak self control wonder what he is doing these days
