In the US you can purchase alcohol with the use of a government issued ID card, drivers license, passport, or active duty military ID as all are government issued IDs which display ones age.

This joke really vibes with my sense of humor. Some jokes hit different but this one buzzes. Life is better when the humor has a charge.

That explains all the beautiful driving games I guess.

This is a whole new level of botnet. Enslave people’s AI. Would be useful if you’re trying to distill the model.

Actually now that it’s being brought up it would be interesting to see the allotment of funds and compute in relationship to types of neural nets. I really can’t confirm or deny what you are saying. That said different labs seem to have taken different approaches.

Yes and no. Some extremely impressive things have been accomplished already. Alpha fold was very successful just to name one smaller and older project. The recent proof of the planar unit distance problem is very notable. The list goes on and on. There’s some legitimate gold in those neural network hills, it’s just not consistent.

If all this data center building and investment is a bust aka their next super model doesn’t deliver on all the promises they’ve made it’s going to make the 2008 financial crisis look cute.

Scared they’re totally leveraged and people will call their bluff before their super compute is built or the super compute will have diminished returns aka the investment is a wash. If this goes bust it will make the 2008 global financial crisis look cute.

You might like the movie Cashback. You kinda just reminded me of it in that comment.

Yeah that’s what the large hadron collider is for, everyone knows that.

I wanted to research it myself since I didn’t know how Redbox flow batteries operate. It is two giant tanks of liquid energy. When there’s extra electricity from wind or solar, pumps move special vanadium-based liquids through a stack of cells, storing that energy as a chemical change. When electricity is needed later, the process runs in reverse and the liquids generate power for the grid. Unlike lithium batteries, the energy is stored in the liquid tanks, so making the battery bigger is mostly a matter of building larger tanks. The Swiss project will store about 2.1 GWh of energy—enough to help balance renewable power on a massive scale—and was chosen partly because redox-flow batteries are non-flammable, long-lasting, and can be cycled tens of thousands of times with little degradation

Essentially yeah, it’s heavily linked to novelty. For instance the drive to somewhere new or unusual is always longer than the drive home because we’ve already seen it so our neurons just dump all the information that’s familiar aka not novel. If someone does the same thing in the same place for years then time flashes by but if they are having many novel experiences then it feels like a lot more time has passed.

So in short the longer we live the more we have seen, the more we have seen the more is familiar aka auto dumped information by our neurons before it even touches the level of our conscious mind.

There is actually some science behind this. People’s perception of time literally speeds up as they age. Our youth feels like forever, our young adult years still feel long and at that point it all feels like it will be forever, and then you blink and you’re 56 wondering where the time went. It’s a really well known phenomenon.

Funny enough, that line can also be interpreted as “thou shalt not murder” which really changes the meaning. I prefer the standard translation though as a pacifist.

Well now we know which side of the force OP is on.

I thought creating echo chambers and dopamine loops was the whole point. Kinda reminds me of this CGP Grey video

Lol to anyone who knows what the image is from.
