Read some Peter Watts. He imagined biological neural nets in jars used as firewalls to get a usable network connection... Not far off now.

because arc agi involves de novo reasoning over a restricted and (hopefully) unpretrained territory, in 2d space. not many people use LLMs as more than a better wikipedia,stack overflow, or autocomplete....

hopefully the free plastic feedstock from oil will go away soon. if polyester cost as much as cotton or wool, it wouldnt be wasted by these scum sucking bottom feeder manufacturers.

Thank you China for forcing the world into the solar battery future.

that's an interesting perspective.

are expensive ads higher quality? but are they therefore pushed more to justify the cost?

does the higher cost improve the information conveyed?

this exact 'cottage industry' you speak of is what existed in north america and started little conpanies like Apple, etc.

The sad fact that we lost all of these because of the entire electronics supply and design chain moving to Taiwan and China, is why we are where we are. These barriers might bring some back, who knows.

Ultimately global open borders, for goods and services, had their own issues. For example open competition between free market economies and centrally planned economies creates rather obvious advantages of scale that are skewed...

hrm. on nature portrait photography 600x600 upscale, it has a LOT of artifacts. Perhaps too far out of distribution?

That said, your examples are promising, and thank you for posting a HF space to try it out!

Eh? By all indications compute is now evolving SLOWER than ever. Moore's Law is dead, Dennard scaling is over, the latest fab nodes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

This isn't the 80s when compute doubled every 9 months, mostly on clock scaling.

Thanks for all your work buro9! I've been an lfgss user for 15 years. This closure as a result of bureaucratic overreach is a great cultural loss to the world (I'm in Canada). The zany antics and banter of the London biking community provided me, and my contacts with which I have shared, many interesting thoughts, opinions, points of view, and memes, from the unique and authentic London local point of view.

LFGSS is more culturally relevant than the BBC!

Of course governments and regulations will fail realize what they have till it's gone.
