<p>Host an event! My friends and I host a "project night" every Thursday where we invite people to bring whatever personal projects[1] they're working on, and we strongly encourage plus-ones. As long as you have a venue (we started in a bar about 45 minutes west of Boston) and know at least one or two other people who are willing to consistently show up every week and you all put the work into inviting new people that you like and encouraging the people you like to invite new people that they like, the momentum will build on itself such that you'll inevitably find yourself with a thriving community, undoubtedly meeting <i>at least</i> one or two totally new people (on average) every week!<p>[1] Projects have included: crocheting a bunch of adorable little stuffed cows, developing a privacy-first webapp for visualizing social graphs, painting the cosmos with oil on a wall-sized canvas, engineering the control system for a human-scale vending machine, building an automatic water turret which uses image recognition to shoot squirrels with water when they climb on a bird feeder, planning and beta testing LARPs, board games, social experiments, and so on and so forth.</p>

<p>Both the Rationalist community and the Rust community are very active in pursuing their goals, and unfortunately, it's far easier to criticize others for doing things than it is to actually do things yourself. Worse yet, if you are not yourself actively doing things, you are far more likely to experience fear when other people are actively doing things as there is always some nonzero chance that they will do things counter to your own goals, forcing you to actively do something lest you fall behind. Alas, people often respond to fear with hatred, especially given the benefit of physical isolation and dissociation from humanity offered by the Internet, and I think that's what you're seeing here on Hacker News.</p>

<p>They actually use distilled versions. The most egregious example of this is their misleading reference to all distillations of DeepSeek-R1, which are based on a variety of vastly different base models of varying sizes, as alternative versions of DeepSeek-R1 itself. To this day, many users maintain the mistaken impression that DeepSeek-R1 is overhyped and doesn't perform as well as claimed by those who have been using the actual model with 685B parameters.</p>

<p>They are related by Landauer's Principle: E=k×T×ln(2), where E is the energy required to erase 1 bit of information, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature of the system storing that 1 bit of information.<p>Information is physical. It is inextricably tied to the physical degrees of freedom of the system storing it. Per Landauer's Principle, erasing information is an irreversible process that increases the entropy of the environment, and this increase in entropy <i>is</i> the dissipation of energy. With that in mind, I would argue that you are correct, energy and information are in fact two sides of the same coin.</p>
