The paper misses a critical point. The A.I. may not self improve itself, but it may self improve based on the real world feedback loop.

Example: A.I. provider delivers bad models -> ai provider eventually gets less resources

Example 2: A.I. Provider delivers good models -> provider gets more usage and eventually more ressources

So, the system does not self improve but it gets the feedback from the rest of the world on how useful it is and also on how it can become more useful.

Useless. It rated ptv.de as pretty safe, where I built a replacement on, say 15 evenings using Claude code + OSM. The replacement is currently in early operations stage, but it nailed what ptv did before.

It rated the company where I work as completely replaceable. Which I rate as insane because if I think it could be replaced, I’d quit tomorrow and start a competitor that is cheaper/faster/better.

Please code me a Microsoft excel with Claude Code.

Someone will find a reflexive material to put on the drone. Then you have a multi kw laser that hits randomly anywhere when intercepting drones.

Also I wonder why it is not common to run interception drones that automatically fly towards incoming drones and captures them mid air. Like a wasp is capturing other insects.

So pretty much like the iron dome but not with single use rockets but reusable drones instead.

Shelly devices support json rpc over udp. It is quite nice to use those apis and the resulting client code is surprisingly light weight and robust.

However, there are two things that worry me:

a) what about datagrams bigger then MSS? Here the risk of losing the whole datagram doubles, triples, … Locally, it may not be so bad when one can use jumbo frames, but one the internet, it will be 1452 bytes per Datagram, before fragmentation happens

b) how to handle encryption and authentication?

Their argumentation is pretty naive. If they would truely like to fix up the situation, they could simply put a tax on the exported electricity. Depending on the height of the tax, exports would be adjusted accordingly. Maybe, a non linear taxation scheme would be needed to allow exports in normal operation states and prevent exports in high price situations.

Did you ever hear about the dead internet theory?

Don’t forget that you also can invest in negative dollar by taking loans. Then, the reduction of purchasing power does actually benefit you.

So, whoever has significant wealth will do exactly this and take out loans to purchase productive assets and then, later on, pay back much less because the dollar lost value in the mean time.

This works out as long as the interest rate is lower then the actual annual loss in purchasing power.

Hm, does not appear sound to me because it seems to be utterly impossible to control for other factors that happened during the last 2k years. I completely agree that there may be the possibility to segment the population along an imaginary line that matches the extend of the Roman Empire. But to conclude that this segmentation was caused by a state border 2k years ago needs extraordinary evidence. Some statistical analysis is not enough to verify or reject this assumption.

Im curious :) Why did you port the services from Kotlin to rust? Can you elaborate a bit on the reasons for the rewrite?

Can I rephrase the question?

How much concurrent tasks can you run on a mid sized server in 2024?

Definition of mid size: machine that will have 1TB Ram and maybe 64 Cores.

A small machine would be my workstation. 192GB Ram and 32 Cores.

What programming env do I have to use to eat up all those Ressources without petering out?

We also do this. For us, the limiting factor is the IDE getting slower with bigger files. For IntelliJ+Kotlin the big file handling got better over time, but if files get bigger and bigger, the response times of auto completion and other ide features gets slower and slower.

At some point in time, some dev splits the file to get faster responses again.

Despite this, we have no issues, git works fine and search and navigation in the code is also just fine.

Quote from the article:

“ Last year, the Census Bureau projected that the U.S. population would peak around 2080 and head into a continuous decline thereafter.”

The census bureau has to make those projections because they are supposed to do that. But that projection is most likely so inaccurate that it is not worth the paper it is printed on.
