Engineer, techno-optimist. Sustainability beats austerity, duh.

Tribalism is gangrenous rot to democracy, peace, and human flourishing.

Remind me to ask your opinion, not your team. To respond with curiosity, not condemnation. To debate, not demonise. To critique the opinion, not the person. Disagree, not reject. To value challenge, not confirmation. To forgive your flaws and remember my own. To assume good faith.

Tribalism is evolved. Limbic. The most natural thing in the world.

We must fight it with all our hearts.

@granawkins If loads of people want this to be true, many will try a small study (cheap). Statistically some will come out with a positive result. Those ones more likely to publish. Voila!

@mattparlmer Boss, how can we justify charging millions for essentially standard drone parts??

Boss: "hold my beer"

@CianciottoBryce Also most linear actuators are rotary actuators in disguise

@TansuYegen If I could afford that table I wouldn't be living in such a small space

@Glob_Bottom @PropositoyVida I think it's ignorance rather than malice. They're not thinking of the consequences of getting exhausted before getting to safety or getting knocked unconscious. They have no idea how close that was.

[JB_89 @19user84]

@BellikOzan @WilmsRolf Omg you found one!

@PTrubey @aak_kc This whole cooling controversy has a big punchline coming because it's just going to happen and there are all these receipts 🤣

[JB_89 @19user84]

@PTrubey @aak_kc Presumably they use heat pumps for the radiators with ammonia or sth. Plenty of electricity for it. Just get the radiators got enough

So funny how AI corps have fucked themselves:
1) set limits based on token usage
2) create more expensive model that costs more tokens per token, confusingly
3) Need a new non-monetary currency to define limits, but have already used the word 'token'

*Chef's kiss*

@esherifftv This tickbox will seem ridiculous in hindsight. Like 'did you use a computer to help make your video?'. In your situation I'd be tempted to go for 'no' because a small explainer clip doesn't make it an AI slop video. See what happens

[JB_89 @19user84]

@sarah_go_green Yeah 275 miles is over 5 hours of driving. I typically start from home, drive for 3 then break at a services for 15-20 minutes while the car charges at 500mph+

@Robotbeat Assuming spacex is bad at satellites is a very bold take, Boltzmann or no

[JB_89 @19user84]

@SandstoneStox @Turbinetraveler I think the result is the same at 250mph

[JB_89 @19user84]

@DJSnM "just so you know, that nuke on the test stand went off"

[JB_89 @19user84]

@sjwhitmore This is good advice. When getting a present for new parents - get something nice for the parents, not the baby. The baby needs nothing but the parents! And the parents need a pick-me-up

[JB_89 @19user84]

@staysaasy 100%. It would be so easy to laugh at the crazy questions or whimsical misunderstandings. But all that would do is make them fearful to ask when they don't know something. I try to talk with them as a peer, unless setting a boundary

[JB_89 @19user84]

@OdedRechavi @skdh I wonder how many experiments have been done dozens of times because the negative/null result was never published

[JB_89 @19user84]

@Britches97 @Turbinetraveler A go around is the quintessential 'nope'. The flight path goes that way to avoid the terrain.

[JB_89 @19user84]

@yunta_tsai Do you think the results are cherry picked, or the authors get excited too early?
