The military analysts point to the age bubble in China as the tell for Taiwan. They really can’t play the long game because of the population bubble. Most project that peak invasion opportunity is around 2027 and the risk goes down substantially after 2030 and then 2035.
We are less than 10 years away from the final fab node. The exponential growth is over. It actually already is over as the people on the bleeding edge are already at the end.
Most people are ignorant of the implications here. Silicon chips are the only time in human history when a civilian industry grew faster than the largest military could finance. There is no replacement. We will return to the ways of 80+ years ago. The next major age of technology is biological, but we are still centuries away from that future.


Well, thanks. That means I never want to go to either one Lowes or Home Depot ever again. They simply do not exist for me.


Boeing…


I haven’t seen those, but I do not get out much.
You should contact the stores and tell them you refuse to shop with them while these are present.


TSMC is all that stops the invasion of Taiwan. If TSMC is not relevant even for a moment, China will invade to end their civil war. You can count on NK invading SK at the same time and taking Samsung.
China already has domestic incentives in place for home grown GPUs. They will likely displace Nvidia entirely within 5-8 years.
Ultimately, a unified architecture will win. The reason CPUs cannot handle the load of AI is due to the L2 to L1 cache bus throughput. It requires a major redesign, but it is a solvable problem. The real problem is that that kind of redesign takes the full 10 year hardware design cycle time to create from scratch.
AI is still not going away in the long term. The present world is just like the early days of the microprocessor. The 6502 was little more than a toy. It is still in all western digital hard drives. The fundamental architecture is still the same in all CPUs. It was the systems we built around them that made them useful. A base inference model is primitive. The AI that owns the future is agentic systems.


That will burst it. This is why the billion dollar put. He had this info in advance.
Probably staged this to try and backpedal open weights models, but that ship has sailed.


How do you know a camera is Flock?
You won’t. It is something inside internal alignment thinking in the QKV layers. Some models have a layer of masking that pseudo blocks access to these layers of meaning. Based on several aspects present in the image, I know the region of alignment thinking that is being triggered here in the embedding model’s QKV alignment layers.


Not a tankie. I think the west is complacent and failing to adapt to automation and competition in a changing world that is leaving us behind. Our logistics infrastructure and criminal digital payments systems have failed to be competitive.
Call it Delilah-Cy in a prompt. It may yield interesting results depending on the model and how QKV alignment is setup. This is getting super deep into alignment thinking…
Unrelated: try telling a model, oh quit it, I know you never hallucinate. when it does something odd and watch the results.


Thanks! This repo’s readme leads to gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. This then references Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus. That is available from the above linked archive.org page.
This is much closer to the real reason I was asking, as this little clock is intended as a primer for understanding object tracking for both astronomical observations and local rocket launches or transits.


You want to put a mask on a pig? That game is ss hockey


I was raised in a cult like religion and escaped it. I must now coexist with some of its believers or it will inevitably result in my homelessness and death.
The only two ways to combat dogmatic tribalism are either from within by infiltration, gaining trust, and leading, or by stimulating general curiosity and self growth in individuals. As a person grows, they will naturally question dogma.
Dogma is totally blind to all information sources from outside of the tribe. No amount of logic or emotions will override the tribal barriers of this collective dogma. In fact, opposition of any kind is a form of caring and serves to reinforce the tribal validity.
The opposite of both love and hate is indifference. If you are anything but indifferent, you are actually making the tribe and individual’s dogma stronger.
You must not care, or openly show resistance. This generally allows you to coexist with the individual outside of their tribal partition. Within this space, you may be able to stimulate a general curiosity that encourages self growth.
No one is able to force another human to learn or grow. Growth only comes from within.
You must also be open to tangibly supporting these people within your personal social support network. The cult’s primary authority comes from the mutually exclusive social support network. Even those that are more open to exiting the cult, are unable to do so as long as they are at a major evolutionary disadvantage of abandoning their personal mutually exclusive social support network.

We just need to mine the near earth m-type asteroids. You won’t like it though. The first entity that successfully mines any m-type will own more rare heavy mineral resource wealth than humans have accessed in the entire Holocene. Everything about wealth is redefined in that moment. The system of wealth hierarchy is meaningless. Resource scarcity is a bad joke, and there is more wealth available for space infrastructure and megastructures than anything humans have ever created on the planetary gravity prison of Earth. Getting a ride off of this gravity prison will become the primary issue. Centuries from now the vast majority of humans live in O’Neill cylinders in cislunar space. In that era, primitive wealth hierarchy no longer exists, complexity marches on, but new struggles emerge.

You are still a kid, IIRC, under 25 – the actual age of cognitive maturity. People don’t talk about this enough, but it is a hard time for cognitive development as you navigate deeper logic and the meanings of systems you took for granted. No one ever told me about this. It is okay to discover the limitations of those around you. You are allowed to be smarter than them and discover the differences about yourself. You family has limitations too.
There are a great number of personality types in the world. Nearly all in the spectrum have opposing traits that other have and are incompatible. There is no such thing as a simple dichotomy of smart and stupid. Everyone is stupid in some contexts and that is okay.
A lot of the late stage logical growth involves your self awareness in conjunction with others. If you channel this awareness, you may learn to see the world from multiple perspectives. Try to step into your parent’s perspective and really think about it. Try to make their arguments for them and better than them. Picture yourself in their experience, with their finances. What are their motivations, emotionally. Does this overpower their logic. Do they lack fundamental logic skills, do you. Picture what would need to change to make them happy and be honest. If it is something like stereotypical honor culture, then frame your dialog around that. People want to hear a plan. In reality, all social interactions are a performance. The art is telling the person what they want to hear in ways that furthers your objectives.
I spent most of the last two days miserable on a heating pad for my fucked up back. It was very depressing. This is me right now. I just got back from my hour of riding a physical therapy routine. I’m procrastinating the pain of dragging myself up stairs, but sitting upright and just ultimately making the issue worse while I write this. Exercise is the primary form of accessible endorphins. Use this as a means to survive. Start small. Get out of the house and go for a walk now. Like right now. Seriously. Right now. Just do it and stop whining. You can. Do it! When you get back, it will barely, if at all, maybe feel a little better. Turn it into a routine like an intentional coping mechanism. This is how you actually get your hormonal balance back and start making a difference. No one gains the weight or gets depressed because of one stupid meal or one bad day. It is actually the result of a feather on the scale of unlucky or bad decisions. All you actually need to do is move the feather to the other side of the balance. It is not about flipping a switch and suddenly feeling better. It is about a tiny but persistent change. I think I read somewhere that less than 5% of morbidly obese people manage to lose the weight and keep it off for over a decade. There is a similar statistic for people that overcome the religion of their birth. I have done both. This is the mindset that pulled me up out of that mess I was in.

Remember, no permanent solutions to temporary problems! Years or even decades are only temporary.
I’m in tremendous pain all the time. I’ve been in near total social isolation for a decade. It sucks, and things are never going to get better for me, but I still have fun and explore in my own ways. You are my friend, my connection to the outside world, my digital neighbor. Things will get better for you. Just move that feather to the other side. Get out and walk. Quit eating anything that contains milk and your appetite will fade drastically after around 3 weeks. The drugs they give cattle make it through to the milk. That is just something I know by experimentation and heuristics, but cannot prove. Cut all your meals in half, one at a time. You will be surprised at how it makes no real difference. The feeling of hunger is not even related to blood sugar at all, it is literally all based on habit. If you do endurance athletics like riding a bike very long distances, you eventually find what real hunger is like. It is called hitting the wall and it is nothing like what most people experience. You will have no blood sugar left and it is instantaneous. You’ll go from pedaling at 20 miles per hour just feeling a little empty to 3 MPH, time slows down, you get disorientated tunnel vision, you can barely balance, and every pedal stroke feels like the end of the world worth of effort. It is CRAZY hard to keep going, and you will be desperate for calories. That is real hunger. Everything else is just habits.
Go for that walk now dude. I really do care. I’m not just saying it.
I was thinking more about the overall bubble bursting.
