Why AI companies wont build their own RAM but prefer to pay multiple times more than what they sold pre AI boom? (And ram business was still profitable). They already make custom processors

Retina is a good example of this. Zebrafish can regrow damaged retina, but while mammals have the same stem cells (Muller glia), they dont repair the retina, but form scar tissue. There is a lot of research and I think they have managed to modify rat genome, so that their retina has showns some repair abilities. The problem is that it often causes tumors.

I have other retina permanently damaged, and suffer from double vision when looking small objects like text.

I was working on a project for 2 years with about 5 engineers. It was many years before AI. It was new subject for our team, and we were pretty sure it was possible. Turned out it was not.

Much later I asked AI if that kind of project is possible, and it immediately explained why it is not. Would have saved 2 years of our time...

I fixed this like this:

1. Right click PIP window 2. More Actions -> Configure special window settings 3. Add property -> Layer Force Popup

After this it spawned always in middle, I also added property Position Remember, so it spawns where it was previously. I have no idea if this is the best way to fix but worked for me.

In Finland we have old saying: "If liquor, tar and sauna won’t help, an illness is fatal"

I have permanent damage on my retina of other eye. I hope one day humans could regenerate their retinas as sharks and zebrafish can do. Seems strange, that fish living in deep dark oceans can fix their eyes, while most mammals who rely on vision a lot more cannot.

This is my biggest frustration with ads. It will surely cause fake statistics for ad campaigns too: 99% of time when I click ad, it is by mistake.

If I remember correctly, a YT video from Andrew Hubermann, talks about rewards and that you should avoid excessive rewards.

It can make the actual work even more painful, because your mind is too focused on the reward, instead of trying to enjoy the hard work itself.

For me best would be "right room(and tool) for the right job". If I want to program alone, I focus a lot better at home. Running "social_program.exe" in the background in my brain eats a lot of focus in office. Just being aware that there are others nearby is enough.

However, sometimes I need to talk, design or pair-program. For that I enjoy the office.

Nature has come up with moving limbs on animals, but none of the trees seem to be tracking the sun. Branches are in fixed positions.

Animals are not next token predictors. Most animals don't have language and don't generate sentences/ideas. It is unique feature of humans and big part of our success.

Animals do have sensors and can reason about real world quite intelligently. This is what LLM- models don't have. Surely, all the text in Internet has a lot of textual information about real world, but something "obvious to animal" might not be there.

I feel us humans are kind of both: We have sensors and experiences about real world, but also oral and written tradition.

Once we develope LLM- with cabability to sense and experience real word (perhaps with some evolutionary algorithm to make it better over time) it should start to be close to human beings.

Ability to mute individual tabs is nice. Especially when long ad starts playing on e.g Youtube.

Last time I used Chrome, you can only mute all at once.

Maybe one day we can skip plants and weedkillers by using artificial process to make food. Photosynthesis is not very efficient either. Less land for farms and more forests.
