Fun fact: Did you know that in the Soviet Union, you had to stand in line for an hour every month, just to pick up the prescriptions you needed in order to survive for the next 30 days? Paid insurance didn’t even cover all of the costs! I know, it’s hard to believe, but true. Oh wait. That’s us.

The joke was to do with the Roman coin from Brutus. But i imagine in your Dad’s line of work there would be coins, bones, beans and marbles. In NZ there was the coin in the pudding tradition that caused ER visits I’m sure.

The phrase “large enough to be seen from space” is so disconnected from the realities of resolution of spy satellite images … from the 70s.

News from me: there are two versions of OpenAI's Navier-Stokes proof, one for humans, one for computers. Now it seems that they don't match. That does NOT mean OpenAI hasn't solved Navier-Stokes (both proofs can be correct) but it does mean that there are big questions about trusting AI mathematics

When OpenAI announced its surprise solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, it produced one proof for humans and one for computers – however, they don't match

it's rare for Microsoft to assert their role in the history of computing so interesting to see Satya and Jensen reminishing on stage; Nvidia was founded because PCs in the Windows 3.11 era made it possible to put a decent graphics card on someone's desk, without DIrectX you don't get CUDA and so ML

if you don't have CUDA and the HPC work Microsoft did and the investment Azure made in Infiniband, Microsoft could never have built the training compute for OpenAI and ChatGPT wouldn't have brought transformers out of the lab

People in my comments are arguing that there’s no way Claude can clone Photoshop without decompiling the binaries. My brother in Christ, you can literally tell Claude to click around an app on your phone or laptop then rebuild the app from scratch. Every surface feature of an app is now clonable.
