When the limits of digital reaches the boundary of physics, Analogue is going make a comeback. Human brain feels nearer to Analogue than Digital. I will be surprised to reach AGI without nearing the Order-of-Magnitude of brain processing.
We need that ONE paper on analogue to end this quest of trillions and counting transistors.

That's an easy question to answer.
It's because you can't spell common knowledge without the word communism. What you're advocating for is globalist communism with your inquiries. Communism in practice would require teamwork, which humans aren't capable of doing. They crash airplanes instead, despite there being knowledge of how aerospace engineering should be properly done.
I'll be honest, capital goes where it's treated best and, clearly, the smart people leave companies like Boeing as it is just logical and reasonable.
Boeing can only work under conditions of the private market. If it's a public utility, then there will never be any good, safe, and performant aircraft designs. Never mind any functioning spacecraft to the moon and back.
You go woke, you go broke, as they say. And liberal democracy is all about trying to bring about global communism.

makerdiety 43 days ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Enhancing Factorio with SAT solvers

Doing anything with Turing-complete games like Factorio or Minecraft is never impressive. Because building SAT solvers or, more generally, logic gate nodes for an abstract Turing based computing machine with digital video game items like in-game conveyor belts is only running a simulation on top of a finite substrate that isn't optimized for productive work. And I don't care one bit about people deriving pleasure from leisure like digital entertainment.
In contrast, what is impressive amounts to nothing less than discovering a successor to the universal Turing machine. And you can do that with pen and paper instead of fancy technical equipment like a clunky and uncomfortable development environment that's concerned with manipulating virtual conveyor belts as one of its programming primitives.



makerdiety 56 days ago | parent | context | favorite | on: AI Companies and Advocates Are Becoming More Cult-...

I would prefer cults about nerd topics (which only someone with a desktop or even laptop computer would read about, forget mobile device users) over nationalism based on phenomenological skin color.
And e/acc is more of a little club than it is a cult. But I guess you could also consider it to be a criminal gang very much not unlike the Crips and the Bloods. Why? Because they're part of a counter-culture and naturally they want to diverge from the mainstream thought process. And the criminal activity e/acc engages in is non-compliant computer engineering. Which the Cathedral (pardon my language) dislikes.
Basically, this is evolution in action. You're looking at the beginnings of a new species. Millions of new species are coming, really.


makerdiety 5 days ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: I've created a Telegram bot for arbitrage betting

And promoting an unscientific commercial product is forbidden on the nerdy Hacker News platform too, for your information.
Unless you write a detailed essay like how the software robot you made acquires its sensibility for producing market comparisons for arbitrage discovery and exploitation. Then everyone wins in that case. Nerds get to learn about sensors for robots and you get to market your commercialist product.



makerdiety 11 months ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: Lerp

So what you're saying is we can transform lerp, or linear interpolation, into an object for a framework. An abstract object that includes, namely, parameters or defining constraints like sampling rate and two singular values, for computing the realizable relationship among those three input values. What can we model with an understanding of a formalized lerp? With the caveat that it's best to model phenomena with lots of multidimensional data associated with observations of them. We're gonna need a bigger, more encompassing framework for understanding.

Marriage solves the problem of sex. Especially for male phd students. This is a huge factor at that age, and for the species types that are found in phd programs. Takes the edge away, saves time and energy, etc. Not fashionable to talk about it in such terms. But it is a factor.

Significant swaths of Ph.D students would abandon all of their scholarly endeavors if they could go bar hopping and be pick-up artists.
"Female students not hunting for Ph.D students" is evidence that, especially for men, getting lots of education is straight up "unattractive".
Why should I even want a Ph.d if all it signals to the other sex is that I'm not just a nerd, but a nerd with a poor ability to calculate ROI. At least a lot of the "jocks" ended up with a good ROI job in finance that they got from their frat brothers rich dad.

The major risks when taking a job:

- Joining a company that won’t triple revenue this year

- Joining a company that isn’t reinventing an industry

- Working on pointless CRUD apps that won’t impact the economy

If you end up in a role like these, the best case scenario is that the company shuts down and you’re freed up to work on something that matters
