100% true, but method still matters


I am with you here.. there is actually name for why companies do this. They are not pushing app because it is better, but because browser tab cannot lock you in.

Mapped it out here if curious - https://vectree.io/c/enshittification-how-digital-platforms-...


This confused me at first as well.. inactive experts skip compute, but weights are sill loaded. So memory does not shrink at all.

I found this visualisation helpful - https://vectree.io/c/sparse-activation-patterns-and-memory-e...


100%

There is genuine demand for physical AI in Japan, there are not enough humans to hire.

I bet, EU will start long debates wether to automate or not :) Japan already skipped that part


exactly, the simplicity is its beauty!

A single data structure (tables), no built in OOP (you build it with metatables).

Coroutines instead of threads.

I was curious and explored it in detail here - https://vectree.io/c/lua-language-design-metatables-coroutin...


or rather "move when?"

Moving 1,400 tonnes might take years. The window to act is closing.


Window is not closing.. the stonk market would go to zero. Any doubt about being able to move assets out of the US would cause a run on US stonks.

Also the US has fairly strong private property rights.


We've seen time and again that rights and laws mean shit to the current administration.


My point is: Blocking withdrawal of financial assets from the US would be wall street ending.

No foreign investors would put money into US stonks.

It's not impossible, sure, but probably worse than the great depression.


Agreed, it takes decades to build manufacturing expertise.. lose demand for a few years and all is lost

Throwing more money at it does not work either, you need skilled workforse

Same is happening in EU with shipbuilding


interesting, I never realized macOS compresses memory in place before swapping.. Linux just dumps straight to disk, no wonder it freezes

Found good visual explainer on this - https://vectree.io/c/linux-virtual-memory-swap-oom-killer-vs...


Funny part is that the real infra behind digital signatures is insanely serious compared to DocuSing "cutesy font"..

I did not know that root CA keys are generated in faraday cages?? Multiple custodians persent, then kept in tamper proof vaults.

I had no idea until I saw this visual breakdown - https://vectree.io/c/public-key-infrastructure-pki-and-certi...


Agreed, every astronaut says no photo prepares you for actually being there.

Knowing what the far side looks like and floating there looking at it are completely different things
