@ikostrikov Post-training might be the future, but nature's still got the ultimate dataset. All the DNA on Earth holds ~100 yottabytes of info—way more than the entire internet. Plenty of data left to train on!

There are dozens of online MP4 to WebM converters And all of them hook up to server and convert on the backend But i am now 100% sure it can be done in the browser using WebCodecs: faster, private, offline Nobody’s been crazy enough to build it.. Someone has to do it, right?

@CJHandmer Unlike the thin blue layer we see around Earth, wouldn't the atmosphere of a terraformed Mars appear much larger and more expansive from space?

Third render is a little less saturated. I think the render is dialed now, time to ramp up the resolution.

My #1 hack for my coworking space: We provide unlimited drinks. But to make sure I personally never run out, I buy coconut flavored sparking water. I’m the only person that will drink them.

@levelsio @levelsio There is no evidence of an increase in incidents regarding Boeing, statistically speaking. There is though a significant increase in media hysteria.

Added [ ❌ No Boeing ] filter to airlinelist.com To help you find airlines that have no Boeing planes: 🇮🇪 Aer Lingus 🇫🇮 Finnair 🇺🇸 JetBlue 🇭🇺 Wizz Air 🇬🇧 EasyJet 🇸🇪 SAS 🇲🇾 Air Asia 🇵🇹 TAP 🇩🇪 Eurowings 🇮🇹 ITA 🇪🇸 Iberia

Most people don't know I made this and the UX is quite clunky but it works: ✈️ airlinelist.com It collects data on most airlines and airplane models With all the Boeing news, you can use it to find airlines which do NOT have shitty Boeing planes like the 737 Max (now sneakily rebranded to 737-8) I've kept it updated with every airline accident and problem for years, and it's free to use!

Synthetic fuels are unlikely to pave the entire world in solar panels, because AI will do it first. New blog linked below:

6 months post-Google, the tech I miss most: - Critique (code review tool). Nothing I’ve used externally touches it. Someone please solve this 🙏 - Blaze. Python build & packaging outside Google is unfortunately painful. Won’t use Bazel because reasons. - Being able to ping the person who wrote whatever tool I’m using and get a response very quickly. Lots of stuff I don’t miss, for another day.

@nirsd @paulg American international travel **pales** in comparison with Europeans. In Europe, you can fly anywhere within Europe in < 2hrs <100 Euros and you can travel to exotic places in Africa/ME in less than 4 hours. It is not uncommon for Londoners to spend the WE in a Greek island.

@paulg Non Americans don't even understand how most Americans view international travel. It's like going to the park. I know Americans who had to cancel their trip because they found out *at the airport* that the country (that they had bought flight tickets for) required a visa.

@DavidDeutschOxf @kmett Someone in HNs yesterday: LLMs lack the "lizard brain" found in animals, responsible for emotions and motivations. We use the neocortex to satisfy primitive urges. LLMs, like "new-cortexes," lack inherent motivation and require instructions. We should fear people misusing LLMs.

@kmett Oh dear. A "belief system" that "collapses" because things are better than one's wildest dreams shouldn't make one very sad. Unfortunately, things aren't as good as he prophesies: LLMs are the opposite of AGIs.
