> Will such models that help enable paradigm shifts in science be only accessible to employees of those private companies?

The 3 breakthroughs all have implications for cryptography and nuclear technology, right? Hard to imagine nation-states allowing private companies to publish these results willy-nilly for much longer.

I know 30 or more in the US that are all voting Lula. It usually mirrors local US politics demographics in my experience. In a red state you're likely to meet right-leaning Brazilians. In a blue state, left-leaning.

My wife is Brazilian. I think HN might be missing some cultural context here. IIUC in Brazil when you vote for a presidential candidate you literally enter the 2 number digit assigned to the candidate's party. When casting your vote for Bolsonaro you enter 22, or 13 for Lula. The machine then displays the candidate's info and you press a confirm button to finalize your vote. I personally agree that "give me a random number between 0 and 25" and getting 13 or 25 is not a strong argument by itself, but I also think that HN may not appreciate the significance of these numbers to the literal mechanics of voting in Brasil.

Haha, I've been drafting this post in the open, saying to myself "no one follows my RSS, it's fine." Well consider myself bamboozled. I have more thoughts on the topic and am drafting the post slowly. So the contents may change over the next few weeks. The digital equivalent of unexpected house guests, except I was the one who left the door open and put out a "free coffee and donuts" sign

edit: added a "next steps" section but other than that it's good enough, says most of what I wanted to say, and doesn't need to change much beyond this. Thanks for reading
