Mixing Protein Sources

thoughts

Food

AI Model Compilation to Silicon?

thoughts

Whichever group is first to figure out how to achieve, and then achieve quickly and cheaply, the baking of a model into a chip is basically going to “win” capitalism 👀🤖

Cities that started off as space stations in the dark between solar systems

In the distant future, when humankind spans multiple galaxies and we have entire cities that started off as space stations in the dark between solar systems, do you think we’ll be satisfied with our artificial lights? Or, will we always need a sun?
