I like the design of this


> if you're a hyped up billionaire, it's easy mode because you can pay a lot, and people want to work for you

blue origin vs spacex says otherwise..


Blue origin just landed their new glen rocket. Not an easy feat.

Although I wish billionaires would fix homelessness, I think its good there’s more competition in the space launch industry.


Homeless is mostly a self inflicted issue that most don’t want to solve. So why should others try solve it?


When is this not true?

It is cheaper to buy GPUs than to develop the capabilities to develop GPUs.


It's like how every big co these days is ML. It will transition to LLMs as well.

Just give it a few years.


Yep. Same vibes as “ha ha who needs internet connected appliances” (pretty much all appliances are internet connected now). And the apocryphal “there is a worldwide market for maybe 5 computers”.


No-one "needs" or even wants appliances to be connected to the internet. You claim that "pretty much all" appliances are internet connected, while almost none of the appliances in my house are.


I mean, who DOES need internet connected appliances? Are you implying these token-based techs will be shoved down our throats regardless of demand?


why not fix it?


Is it so hard to acknowledge that China is better at manufacturing?


Doesn't Europe allow Chinese vehicles in their market? At least they admit it.


Both reasons can be correct


It’s not hard to be “better” when your competitor is wearing a strait jacket.

We have no idea if they are better at it, the last time there was a level playing field they weren’t a developed country.


How is that possible we have not figured out how to do this ourselves?

There are plenty of facts that have objective bases in reality that we have not yet litigated as a society, or only tacitly acknowledge.

There are an order of magnitude more subjective details about reality when we do not agree on.


Because even though I can learn some random library, I don’t really care to. I can do the architecture, I don’t care to spend half an hour understanding deeply how arguments to some API work.

Example: I rebuilt my homelab in a weekend last week with claude.

Setup terraform / ansible / docker for everything, and this was possible because I let claude all the arguments / details. I used to not bothered because I thought it was tedious.


> In summary, we introduce a general principle governing neuronal evolution and suggest that the exceptionally high prevalence of autism in humans may be a direct result of natural selection for lower expression of a suite of genes that conferred a fitness benefit to our ancestors while also rendering an abundant class of neurons more sensitive to perturbation.

I don't see how the title "Autism may be the price of human intelligence, linked to human brain evolution" is at all related to the paper?


It is a long paper, so not immediately obvious.

> The study links evolutionary neuroscience with neurodevelopmental disease, suggesting that the unusually high incidence of autism in humans might be a byproduct of selection shaping our brains.

> It suggests that key neuron types in the human brain are subject to particularly strong evolutionary pressures, especially in their regulatory landscapes.

> If valid, it opens a new lens through which to think about neurodiversity: certain vulnerabilities might be inextricable from the very changes that made human cognition distinctive


The idea is that the same evolutionary process that rapidly selected human brains for intelligence also selected for autism as a side effect. Perhaps because the genes are proximally linked or it’s just the way brains work or some other random reason.

It is NOT saying that for specific individuals intelligence is correlated with autism. That is actually not the case.


Your app doesn’t support dark mode :(
