  • While these investors are absolutely soulless and deserve to be called out, there’s another aspect of this problem that I feel doesn’t get talked about enough.

    If we just built enough housing this problem would go away. And it would be easy if we had a system that allowed people to build new things and undercut competition. But we can’t because regulations make it nearly impossible to make anything other than houses.

    People investing on houses are a symptom of the larger overall problem, of there not being enough fucking housing.





  • Current Ai has no shot of being as smart as humans, it’s simply not sophisticated enough.

    And that’s not to say that current llms aren’t impressive, they are, but the human brain is just on a whole different level.

    And just to think about on a base level, LLM inference can run off a few gpus, roughly order of 100 billion transistors. That’s roughly on par with the number of neurons, but each neuron has an average of 10,000 connections, that are capable of or rewiring themselves to new neurons.

    And there are so many distinct types of neurons, with over 10,000 unique proteins.

    On top of there over a hundred neurotransmitters, and we’re not even sure we’ve identified them all.

    And all of that is still connected to a system that integrates all of our senses, while current AI is pure text, with separate parts bolted onto it for other things.

    Newton’s laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.

    Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn’t been formalized yet.

    Newton’s laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.



  • These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.

    Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.

    And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.

    The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.

    Oh and don’t post anything on social media.



  • No it doesn’t, so that’s why I didn’t speculate on the cause. But the statistics don’t lie, and you’d be a fool for assuming you’d be the exception.

    As for speculation, guns are tools of escalation. Pulling a gun on robber while half asleep can turn a robbery into a homicide. Not to mention all the stories of people who shoot at intruders who turn out to be police from a no knock warrant and inevitably kill someone.

    But it doesn’t matter what the cause for it really is in the end. Owning guns don’t make you safe.
