Have you gone down any rabbit holes that gave you an existential crisis?
  • I never understood why Fermi should be a paradox.

    Space is mind-bogglingly big. Insanely huge. And almost everything is empty. Primitive life (bacteria, fungus,...) might evolve on every other planet, but even mammal like life is probably not that common. Maybe 1 in 10k solar systems has them?

    And now my sad hypothesis: FTL drives are simply not possible.

    Also, did I mention space is huge? Sending radio signals to a planet 10k ly away is very non trivial. Unless they point a huge dish exactly at us and we point a huce dish exactly to them, we won't hear each other.

    The idea that extraterrestials will watch our TV in 100k years is absurd. (Sorry Lrrrr)

  • Linux in the military
  • BTW: Anduril is a startup from Luckey Palmer, the guy that built the Oculus VR headset in his garage. The later sold Oculus to Meta for 2 billion $. 3 ex Palantir guys started Anduril together with him.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • And IPFS is not build on 90s tech?

    Also compared to TOR, IPFS has 0 censorship resiliance.

    I was a bit exmited for IPFS for a moment, but th more i tried it and thought about it, the less I saw a reason to use it.

  • LLM ASICs on USB sticks?
  • llama2 gguf with 2bit quantisation only needs ~5gb vram. 8bits need >9gb. Anything inbetween is possible. There are even 1.5bit and even 1bit options (not gguf AFAIK). Generally fewer bits means worse results though.
