That's insane. It's almost all collaboration, chats, and meetings. Getting stuff done seems to be a lower priority.

The agism on this site is astounding and completely tolerated by the mods whereas stating negative facts about race or sex is disallowed.

Significant double standard.

Does any one go to S-bux for the 'elevated experience'?

Or do we go for our 1200 calorie 'coffee' milkshake on the way to work every morning?

I could be wrong but I thought O-1 was the genius visa and H1B was the skilled labor visa.

Can people just upvote a post instead of repeating exactly what another person has said?

Yeah we all know violence has no place in our society and gun's are controversial and politics should be more civil.

My point is that I don't think the right wants a "white Christian ethnostate".

This is the equivalent of a person on the right calling all liberals "coastal elites that support child molestation"

It's a tribal trait to demonize the "other".

And I say that being mostly a leftist.

> We already have two incompatible visions of what America should be. One side wants a multi-ethnic democracy with a social safety net. The other wants a white Christian ethnostate with unlimited corporate power.

Isn't JD Vance married to an Indian lady?

The article is very interesting and smart and well written with some really great ideas, but I think there may be a little bit of hyperbole which Im still ok with.

They would shut off the water supply to California

Until something new is done ;)

The sound pallette is just about infinite with what's possible.s.

I think modern music has become homogenous because true art is risky and won't pass a modern focus group.

I have no knowledge of any of these but do you think webRTC might be superior to websockets for a multiplayer game at this point?

This is it exactly. And all the people who are calling Trump a 4cd chess master and a genius are in my opinion highly influenced by his propaganda.

They have a Trump Derangement Syndrome in a worship sense.

Those examples are optimizations.

Trust me I would love for China and India to start innovating and advancing the human race but taking the idea of a train and making it faster is just an iteration on a previous technology.

Fusion hasn't been invented yet.

If following the pattern it will also be invented in the West and optimized in China.

numa7numa7 — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 13:48:20 +0000

EV's, Drones, Nuclear power.

Once again optimizing on technologies invented in the west.

The question you're actually asking is:

When will China start innovating instead of copying?

New comment by numa7numa7 in "Recent AI model progress feels mostly like bullshit"

numa7numa7 — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 11:56:47 +0000

My lived experience is that unless there's some new breakthrough's AI is more akin to a drill to replace a hammer than a tractor to replace the plow or a printing press.

Maybe any AI experts can elaborate on this but it seems there's a limit to the fundamental underlying model of the LLM architecture of transformers and tokens.

LLM's are amazing but we might need something more or some new paradigm to push us towards true AGI.
