  • Universe's expansion 'is now slowing, not speeding up'

    Jump

  • If I'm sitting still and you're sitting still and then an earthquake splits the earth and moves us further apart, you could say that you didn't budge but I moved twice as fast away from you, because reference frames are weird like that.

  • Universe's expansion 'is now slowing, not speeding up'

    Jump

  • Galaxies tend to have random velocity, but the underlying space itself is expanding, which makes everything in space start to move away from everything else. Further away objects have more space between them and us and so appear to move faster. The classic analogy is to mark two dots on an uninflated balloon and then inflate it. The points didn't move across the balloon's surface, but they're now farther apart because the balloon itself is bigger.

  • Look, it's not a home, it's a barracks. Every night those cats are out on the streets protecting new yorkers from the rats. HQ is a place for debriefing, wet food, and cat naps before hitting those hard streets again and again and again until the scourge is erased. Every cat is issued a red beret.

  • [CW: meat] Chinese astronauts are now grilling in space

  • I imagine the interactions that make it sputter are harder to get going in zero g, but also it's not a true grill, it's a convection oven. Probably has a filter in the air circulation. Still a crazy feat.

  • Besides what you've been told about Ea-Nasir already, there's some extra info:

    • Ea-Nasir was a prolific trader. Documents about him have been recovered that were dated years apart because he was a hustler working the grind.
    • There's multiple complaints about Ea-Nasir recorded on different cuneiform tablets, and we recovered almost all of them from one room in one dig site, which we're pretty sure was his home. During a period when writing was a skilled trade and tablets were a commodity good with some value, and homes were almost all very small, Ea-Nasir dedicated a room in his house to complaints from swindled customers. Apparently to enjoy rereading them because if he cared about improving his goods he would've done so at any point.

  • (When) Do you think the AI bubble is going to burst?

  • At the current rate of capital investment, 2027 is when literally no more money exists to be invested

  • (When) Do you think the AI bubble is going to burst?

    Jump

  • We can all be well aware that the line is going up due to finance fuckery, including the investors, but that doesn't matter so long as the line keeps going up. Alan Greenspan warned of the dotcom bubble's irrational exuberance. If you bought into the bubble on that day, you'd still have come out ahead if you sold at the crash's lowest low. The investors don't care that it's a bubble, they know it's a bubble. They only care about their net worth going up. If they get 4% from the bonds market and 4.1% from detonating the global economy, you know exactly what their plan is.

    Anyways, the real deadline is somewhere in 2027 when the money runs out. You can shuffle paper deals around all you want but at the end of the day someone needs to pay cash for GPUs and data centers, and AI can't do it. Too expensive, massively negative profit margins. Every real dollar spent is thrown into the money pit and burned. In 2027, there will be no more liquidity left to invest in any sector, anywhere. No bank investments, no private equity, no venture capital. All spent on AI

  • He's been on this particular line since his first presidency. From a 2019 interview quote:

    I said, “You don’t use steam anymore for catapult?” “No sir.” I said, “Ah, how is it working?” “Sir, not good. Not good. Doesn’t have the power. You know the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going and steam’s going all over the place, there’s planes thrown in the air.”

    It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, “What system are you going to be—” “Sir, we’re staying with digital.” I said, “No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good.”

  • It's astounding that the entire modern world runs on open source maintenance and not a single big corporation bothers to throw more than a pittance at keeping them going. Like, it should be basic ethical governance that if you have a dependency on Python, you should keep the python devs fed.
