There were small reactors that ran on thorium. Scaling up all the necessary molten salt processing will be pretty hard thing to do, if this thing can even run continously that is

this is toy sized reactor, not even entire technology demonstrator, there are medical isotope/research reactors with power 20MWt and more

skunk works recruitment be like

that's how you know he didn't succeed yet

in this house we obey laws of physics

hey "way too verbose" is a free space

fire up mspaint next time

idk when i'll have better opportunity to post this

Clearly self-driving teslas just need to mill their path through pedestrians

decisive belarusian cultural victory

yes, these are not onions either

im pretty sure that fracking was invented by white people

I mean, what has crypto left over? All of that is only useful for sanctions busting and money laundering

amazement at chatbots comes from demographic that did not binge watch how it's made in middle school

it's not if you pay up https://www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-money/

ed paid, and that's what he got. this all comes with caveat that this count doesn't include deepseek chinese customers, but that's barely relevant to sv bubble

wow these prices are fucked. you can reuse glass indefinitely, lids are fine too, just clean them. when lids corrode you can replace them separately because these come in just a couple of standard diameters. for example 0.5L and 1L jars have (one of two types of) 82mm lids, and 0.3L jars have 66mm lids. these come in 50 packs and cost (first offer i've found, not specifically going for cheapest option) close to 7 and 6 euro per respectively. 50 pack of 0.3L jars is 23 euro here

claude has something like 1/30 of chatgpt userbase, it's not relevant and anthropic can't pick up opeai users when (not if) it collapses. also somehow they are even faster at burning their money

all your favourite boutique ocean-boiling nonsense generators combined, compared to openai products, have something like fifth of their userbase on mobile app and something like 2/3 on website. without counting deepseek (data from february - it was very fresh back then), it's closer to eigth on app and third on website

“why not pay experiences machinists to videotape what they’re doing os their work can be automated”

none of these people had a job in manufacturing, or even possibly any real job, it's called CNC and there are way better tools for making it work than stochastic parrot

e: ok at least op is a machinist

Interestingly, many of these models also score at or above the level of some human experts on visual reasoning benchmarks like MMMU. That which is easy to measure often doesn't correlate with real world usefulness.

benchmarks could be perhaps possibly fucked with? say it aint so!

My high level impression when reading the response is “someone who can parrot textbook knowledge but doesn’t know what they’re talking about”.

with corpus consisting of toy problems only, and with solutions that depending on field can kill whoever uses these

If OpenAI’s funding round with Softbank goes as planned, it’ll raise the equivalent of the entire GDP of Estonia — a fairly wealthy country itself, and one that’s also a member of Nato and the European Union. That alone should give you a sense of the truly insane scale of this.

so not only saltman is capable of burning enough power to be comparable to middle-sized euro country, he can also burn small euro country gdp

they are not serious people. damn if i only started grifting instead of getting socially useful skillset
