I don’t know you, but if you have several billions in USD, you can give it a shot.

That feels like an analysis stuck in 2015.

Wouldn't a smart contract also have a statue of limitation built in?

I also use Plan Mode. How does it otherwise work if I am not even quite sure what exactly I want to build myself?

I think their point was more: is an ESP32 more like a arduino (or any other MCU) running bare metal or some thine RTOS or more like a raspberry pi which is more like a mini computer running a full fledged Linux. And I guess the answer it kind of always sat in between a little bit and now the family kind of spreads out across this whole spectrum.

I have used fable to aid me with PCB design. It is pretty good. But it can also sometimes make very human mistakes. It mixed up RX and TX on a uart line. If you don't catch stuff like that and get assembled boards this can obviously be pretty annoying. On the other hand I have also mixed up RX and TX before, lol.

Sure. More precisely: they resolved the Navier-Stokes Millennium problem as posed by the Clay Institute. Not sure what else "solving Navier-Stokes" could reasonably mean. A general closed-form solution probably doesn't exist. And numerical solutions have existed for decades. But of course there are still open questions like unforced solutions etc.

Humans are incredibly good at adapting. A few days ago AI solved Navier-Stokes and I was blown away. Now I'm already thinking: "Well, it was only a counterexample and it brute-forced its way to it." lol

> If global warming disrupts 99% of all crop production, the remaining 1% is still plenty enough to sustain a stable, if miserable, population.

That is extinctesque enough for me. An AI extinction would probably be similiar.

Can someone explain if i understand this correctly: Are they saying that they started training this new model on August 28th and then started using it on September 1st? Does training a new model only take 3 days?

> I've heard it said that true understanding is demonstrated when someone can explain difficult concepts well.

I think this not generally. I worked together with this amazing engineer, but he really struggled to sometimes explain what he was trying to do. He came up with great solutions, but often took us some time to figure out what he was trying to get at.

Why are people so negative about this? It feels like a fun project and at 17 the stakes are not really high. Something one could easily do on summer break in a couple of weeks.

Probably some of those issues are not a big problem when you have a good salary (like child/healthcare). And a Silicon Valley salary in Idaho sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

I feel your argument is shifting. Also, it was Fraunhofer that was threatening developers at the end of the 90s not Thomson. Fraunhofer will very aggressively defend their patents/licenses.
