@addictedtoigno1 Would you say its....fishy?

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.

@Mach_Tactics Necessary but not sufficient...with an avatar like that you should remember the old Italian saying about money...

Average IQ of a Billionaire = 130 If you have an IQ of 130+, and you aren't a billionaire, you are underperforming relative to your intelligence.

@tunguz Physics degree tho...

Literally zero alpha left in the college degree signaling game.

@parmita Phytoplanckton is hard to visualize--and spell, apparently :)

Bro you're "retarded" (your words not mine). If trees do 50% on <20% of Earth's surface… what do you think the other 70%+ (ocean) is doing? Answer: 50–80% of all atmospheric O₂ A single bacterium Prochlorococcus outproduces every rainforest on the planet. Try a textbook.

@gridboundStory @financedystop You don't put this kind of statement on the web.

@MatthewZ73671 @financedystop >The old heads who are competitively priced and just want to work do fine. We keep our quotas up just fine. A couple of these people have tried but we just send whichever lame bureaucrat calls our roster and they never contact us again.

A lot of Americans in the 55–65 age range are getting forced into early retirement after being laid off and replaced. He spent 35 years working in IT and suddenly got let go. It’s that brutal gap where you’re not old enough to comfortably retire with benefits, but not young enough for a lot of companies that want younger and cheaper workers.

@r0ck3t23 Literally. The universe is inherently computational.

Demis Hassabis just said something that should unsettle every scientist alive. Hassabis: “I do think that, ultimately, underlying physics is information theory. So I do think we’re in a computational universe.” The CEO of Google DeepMind is telling you reality runs on code. Not metaphorically. Structurally. AlphaFold didn’t approximate protein structures. It solved them. Not because DeepMind built a better guesser. Because proteins were never physical objects. They were always data. Hassabis: “The fact that these systems are able to model real structures in nature is quite interesting and telling.” He said telling. Not impressive. Not promising. Telling. As in the results reveal something about what reality actually is. AlphaGo found patterns in a 3,000-year-old game no civilization ever noticed. AlphaFold decoded biology in hours that took researchers decades. These systems aren’t approximating nature. They’re reading it fluently. Because nature was always written in a language machines understand better than we do. Hassabis: “Maybe at some point I’ll write up a scientific paper about what I think that really means in terms of what’s actually going on here in reality.” The man running the most advanced AI lab on Earth thinks he’s found something fundamental about existence itself. And he’s not ready to say it yet. Every era thinks it knows what the universe is made of. Atoms. Waves. Strings. Hassabis is suggesting the answer was never matter. It was always math. And the machine he built to fold proteins might have accidentally proved it. The question that should keep you up tonight isn’t whether AI can simulate reality. It’s whether reality was the simulation first.

@Kekius_Sage You don't need a sysop for a simulation;)

"If we are in a simulation, then what we have called God is actually the Master Programmer, who set up the rules of the game, defined the laws of physics, and is watching it play out." —Rizwan Virk

@YourAnonNews Math?

Why would anyone be against this at all? Are you against this??

@jgoCyberMan @financedystop I don't know how people don't fall into this after all that...

@financedystop You reapeatedly down-shift, aiming for lower-skill, lower-paid gigs. The interview suit wears out, dress-shirts, khakis, jeans, shoes. You keep trying to "make yourself smaller" to avoid being a burden on anyone, all the while studying, experimenting, lowering/widening the net.

@G_Man_Baker @financedystop I've saved 10% of salary--more than match--and repeatedly had disasters destroy my finances to the pointcthat my 401k went bye bye.

@financedystop Get his sentiment It’s not his decision it’s been made for him At the same time I’m sure IT pays well and at 59 he should have planned to have enough by now surely?

@wwwoodard @financedystop Sometimes your plans repeatedly get destroyed by the rest of the universe having a vote...

@financedystop At 53 I watched as the last of the Textile Industry in the US was irradicated ending a 30 year career. That was 17 years ago and the Engineering Tech. company I started is still going strong. Have a plan at 50 that allows you to decide when to stop or someone will decide for you

@gridboundStory @financedystop Either you are asking for an EEOC lawsuit from the last person laid off at your company, or, no, you aren't.

@financedystop I'm in leadership at a tech company and these guys: * cost 3x as much as average * want to rest on their laurels on only do "interesting" work * usually abuse the shit out of PTO The old heads who are competitively priced and just want to work do fine.

@Cryptoboyy_Aji Firm. Firm handshake!!! Android sucks!

Right, but compounded over 150 years at a rate far less than real estate is appreciating, and you would be able to pay the electric bill on a room rental! Don't give up! You kids don't know hard work. I got my first job with a girl handshake! I can't even collect welfare without applying through an ATS that responds 30 seconds later with: our hiring managers have reviewed your resume carefully over the past month and have decided to move on. Literally since work is required for snap and the volunteer organizations require I apply through their 'management systems' ;)

my boomer uncle bought his first house on a single income. he was 24. he worked at a hardware store. the mortgage was two and a half times his salary. he paid it off in 15 years. he told me to stop eating out so much. i did the math. if i gave up every restaurant meal for a year, i could afford approximately one and a half months of rent.

I'm trying to get my agent swarms to talk to each other. My own bespoke agent framework that operates more continuously than openclaw or hermes has zero problems chatting between agents and delegating tasks like a human would, but hermes, for some reason, really struggles with that. Different world models, I guess.

I've been allowing the swarm to operate for a full day now. It's gotten a lot done. But I've intentionally allowed the agents to continue compacting their contexts, over and over. The results are interesting. First, they've started to lose their particular identities. The coders is doing crap analysis. The refactorer finds it has nothing to do because the coder did it. The refactorer has decided that sending message to other agents requires my permission (it doesn't). The coder simply forgets to hand off to the refactorer until I remind it. The architect decided to not run mutation tests because they take a long time. Fascinating. Given all that, and the constant babysitting that is required, it has gotten a LOT done. As the number of testing scenarios has increased, the testing procedures have gotten quite slow. The continual retesting is very inefficient. I'm going to have to implement impact analysis to drive the tests so that only the things that have changed are tested.

@mcuban Go shit on someone else. You can't help but fucking "go be poor somewhere else" to poor people, can you?

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@davepl1968 Man i wish I could find that cdc 12 bit tape drive controller...

I'm extremely fortunate to have Bruce, who was the Principal Engineer for Paul Allen's Living Computer Museum, come out and fix the PDP-11 issues I can't solve! Which is to say, "anything that requires actual engineering talent!". He led the multi-year restoration of the huge CDC6500 from Purdue... with more than 10,000 pins to be recabled. He had to reverse engineer and remanufacture logic and memory modules, the refrigeration system, and used FPGAs to emulate missing hardware. He's also restored (perhaps a few) PDP-10 systems, including the big KI10/KA10. And he invented a bunch of BMS stuff for EVs, worked at Intel and Cisco, and so on! Fortunately, he's one of the comparatively few engineers I know who's passionate about keeping OLD hardware running as it was intended AND who knows how to do it! But now we're starting to dress alike, it seems!

@MertLovesAI @RoundtableSpace That's a 4gb machine built for edge inference. Unless they haven't updated their website. I own one.
