Guess I’ll just pull the Terry A. Davis here and say it’s God.

I mean, agentic AIs are getting good at outputting working code. Thousands of lines per minute; talking trash of it won’t work.

However, I agree that losing the human element of writing code is losing a very important element of programming. So, I believe there should exist a strong resistance against this. Don’t feel pressured to answer if you think your plans shouldn’t be revealed, but it would be nice to know if someone is preparing a great resistance out there.

Anything that would be useful for smaller laboratories is a good thing.

It’s the animals and the spirit of the forest. I’m not exactly an expert on Oshosi, but it’s not that kind of good vibes. It’s a relationship with the wild.

Liquid nitrogen in a pool is “stimulating” and generates an interesting physical effect. However, the point here in relating it to science is that there is some science behind it that gets the attention from people.

My argument is: people are naturally fascinated by this, but they’re put away by the strict laws, mainly mathematical laws, put forward by this.

Not that mathematics isn’t interesting, but you won’t incentivize people to go to a spitting contest by saying how you spit correctly. People want to see the strongest spit.

I think that’s all there is to it. If you can incentivize people into partaking on this endeavour (understanding chemical effects, in this case), you can bring much more value to science and people that are interested in it. You can, for example, explain interesting effects to people even though they’re looking at a clear liquid (most acids).

The progress of OpenAI since february has been pathetic. The other major AI LLMs have surpassed it a lot. I want to see how they will justify the investment.

Engineering with biological material could be the next big thing in Green technology.

I treat my mind as a big great block. If something is disturbing me, I stop to put everything into place and move “all together” again. It works and I’m more productive this way.

I got nothing to hide. Or so the saying goes.

I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the “standard” way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

Fear of Small Numbers, by Arjun Appadurai

The phys.org article has absolutely no information. At least it links the worldscientific article.

Coming from my perspective a little. Iran is a part of BRICS now and Lula has defended Iran in latest interviews. Let’s see how things develop and if Iran representatives will come to Rio (for the BRICS Summit). This is troubling.

The article criticized the closing of the Internet by Tehran, but the Internet is clear vulnerability that can be exploited in times of war.

If Bob is an aristocrat, a big politician or an enterpreneur, people get killed in the name of Bob.

I agree that the tech culture isn’t healthy. It has been shown to be an unstable position several times these last years. It isn’t as stable as being a medic or a professor, for example. It’s always this “running after an opportunity” feel. I’m a freelancer, so that’s natural, but I think it’s like that for the colleagues who work at a company as well, judging by the news.

Not all people need to stop eating meat. If city people from urban areas (that get meat without even seeing the source) stop feeding this industry, it would already make a big difference. Hunters would be able to continue living as they like and the overall impact would be greatly diminished.

The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.

I think that if the algorithm is so broken to the point of only listing things that are interesting to Google, the search is beyond redemption.
