larger structure sizes can help against spontaneous bit flips, i think. at the cost of consuming more energy for each calculation step.

also i’m pretty sure that the “refined” plant oil is harvested by heating the plant materials up first and then pressing it? instead of cold-pressing it.
the heat makes the oil less viscuous so it flows easier. so you can press it out more fully, but also the heat chemically alters the oil and make it go rancid faster or sth?

i think it just means that once you optimize the hardware close to what physics allows, you have to consider all kinds of strange phenomena appearing. like, quantum physics, electrons tunneling around, the internal resistance value of the wire antenna, etc.
it’s not just “logic gates”, by far not.

you know, religion used to be an abstraction of politics, kinda, in the medieval ages. not sure what changed.

i assume F150 is an electric vehicle. electricity doesn’t come from nowhere. where does the energy come from?

well actually silicon is a semi-conductor. not entirely a metal.

uhm so from my experience is that it’s all psychological. the question is only whether you can relax deeply enough (pun intended)

I think this is a more global problem of “people now think they’re experts on everything, and shout about it loudly”
I dunno… I don’t think the average person in 1926 assumed they were an expert on medicine or physics or finance or whatever. If a doctor, or physicist, or banker told them something, they’d generally nod their head.
it’s crazy to me that you’re citing the authoritative and very top-down approach of the 1900s as a positive example here. never before or after has a society been more militarized.

But yes, we do a miserable job of keeping people fed.
do you actually believe this? how many people you know (directly or indirectly) go unfed?

grocery stores need to produce surplus, otherwise you’re just increasing systemic risks

printing money and donating it to the people would cause inflation but it’s still good.
here’s why:
company A owns $3k, while people B, C, D have $1k each.
now let’s give another $1k to B, C, D. now there’s more money in circulation, name $9k in total instead of $6k. So the dollar is only worth 66% as much as it was before. Let’s calculate wealth of each participant in terms of previous value:
- company A: $3k * 0.66 = $2k
- person B, C, D: $2k each * 0.66 = $1.33k
so people have more wealth than before (at the expense of companies)

yeah i proposed the same idea a while ago.
the thing is that scarcity is not gonna last forever on earth, because ultimately the economy will become highly efficient and produce those things in abundance, so the money based on it would be difficult to hold value, i’d say.
but it is a good idea for a mars currency, as long as there’s no abundance of resources, e.g. water is scarce, it holds value.
- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 4 days ago:
unironically agree. that’s precisely how it is (except the deflation part. we would still get inflation but it would be no problem because our income would rise faster than inflation rate)
