They are getting better every year. The best ones have to be palletized so there’s no easy way to get around tariffs and test them out affordably.

Once you try to buy a solar panel for your own use you realize just how much bureacuracy is specifically dedicated to make sure oil companies don't lose money. The technology is readily available and easy to set up, while being borderline illegal in most western countries.

@TheFatAmerican He was shipping them to people himself for like 5-10$ when he was still alive. I think you can find it for free on internet archive

Ray Peat’s Mind and Tissue was published in 1976. His work essentially cures at least all the current major diseases and known forms of aging. He wasn’t popularized until 2020(ish). So you have at least 44 years of numbskullary that still continues to this day. It’s even worse when you see how C02 used to be officially recognized as a hormone decades before his writings.

pretty much all the smartest and most talented people i know have sort of had their lives fucked or had their talents criminally under shared due to "the economy"

This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock

There's a quadrillion-dollar question at the heart of AI: Why are humans so much more sample efficient compared to LLM? There are three possible answers: 1. Architecture and hyperparameters (aka transformer vs whatever ‘algo’ cortical columns are implementing) 2. Learning rule (backprop vs whatever brain is doing) 3. Reward function @AdamMarblestone believes the answer is the reward function. ML likes to use pretty simple loss functions, like cross-entropy. These are easy to work with. But they might be too simple for sample-efficient learning. Adam thinks that, in humans, the large number of highly specialised cells in the ‘lizard brain’ might actually be encoding information for sophisticated loss functions, used for ‘training’ in the more sophisticated areas like the cortex and amygdala. Like: the human genome is barely 3 gigabytes (compare that to the TBs of parameters that encode frontier LLM weights). So how can it include all the information necessary to build highly intelligent learners? Well, if the key to sample-efficient learning resides in the loss function, even very complicated loss functions can still be expressed in a couple hundred lines of Python code.

@bfoodavailable I’m not sure. I made rhubarb and orange marmalade one time and it was delicious

@World_All_Alive Do you think it's safe the frozen stuff they sell at Hispanic food markets online? It has some additives but it's the only way i found to eat it regularly. The fruit is scarce and expensive, and it takes forever to remove the seeds.

The Cherimoya has the similar purgative quinones/anthroquinones found in Senna, Rhubarb, Cascara and Aloe, in its pulp. I’ve got a few seedlings of the Vietnamese variety.

Has anyone elucidated the pro-metabolic benefits of breastfeeding for the mom?

Also they started the huge vaccination programs in the early 90s, when the vaccines still had mercury + aluminum. If you were lucky you missed HEP B at birth until everyone started getting it by mid 90s.

Depending on your age, being a millennial felt like running across a bridge that was slowly collapsing behind you. Having a zoomer baby brother was heartbreaking because you saw him try to follow the same path that just wasn’t there anymore in a completely different world.

Yea, the one I worked at sold their products domestically. It was one of the last surviving ones that still did their own casting. This one was still more advanced and automated than places in Mexico and Brazil. Our government spent decades leaning into finance, insurance and real estate instead, wrong policy decisions.

@World_All_Alive @calvinfroedge But it’s totally uncompetitive with global market

If Americans don't want data centers, reindustrialization will be impossible.
Data centers have
- No truck/car traffic
- No toxic chemicals
- No noxious odors
- Minimal noise
- No pollution
It's better for residents than almost every factory.
I understand that they use power and water, but factories do too.
Peoples' minds need to change because these data centers will be essential to productivity going forward.

@Molson_Hart @calvinfroedge A midsize steel mill can employ 500 people, many skilled positions.
English
@calvinfroedge They employ some people.
They contribute through ongoing service and via their construction and property taxes.
The problem is that America doesn’t want to build power plants.
They can reuse the water, circulating it.
AI can be used for productivity not just slop.

@PunishedAltus The cartel won’t mug you if you wear this in Mexico with a straw hat

You need to be peatmaxxing. You need to be saying “OK” whenever someone thanks or compliments you. You need to be both extremely easy and extremely difficult to contact. You need to have vague relationships with various highly influential people for no discernible reason. Coffee.

@PunishedAltus You tend to loose people even way before the planets are birthed part. Even the most staunch creationists online don’t talk about the sun being conscious, fertilized.

This guy built a custom crimper/weed eater and chooses cover crops like clover etc to plant in between his grape vine rows instead of mowing and applying herbicides. It’s less labor intensive and cheaper than spraying poisons and better for the crop/soil. Runs a cool account on insta

@bajadobe I wonder was type of plastics they use. HDPE should be safe. Might be safer than natural even
English
Water storage is key in the Baja. Somewhere down the road on my list of somewhat pointless goals is build a cistern out of natural materials (stone and lime). These big plastic tanks creep me out.
