The Italian border should run across the Brenner Pass, Monte Nevoso and the Dinaric Alps. ... I would say we can easily sacrifice 500,000 barbaric Slavs for 50,000 Italians.

> If Petrograd does not fall, if Denikin marks the way, it is that this is what the great Jewish bankers of London and New York want, tied by race ties with the Jews who in Moscow as in Budapest take revenge against the Aryan race who it has been condemned to dispersion for many centuries. In Russia, there are eighty percent of Soviet leaders who are Jewish. Wouldn't Bolshevism by chance be Judaism's revenge against Christianity? The topic lends itself to meditation. It is possible that Bolshevism will drown in the blood of a pogroom of catastrophic proportions. World finance is in the hands of the Jews.

Behold, the fascist "anti-racism"

All of your "credibility" goes down the toilet when you start trying to claim that fascism was actually syndicalism and that Hitler was a communist

Reply to Nanofabricators, a needed technology for a post-scarcity world. by Rezeno56

The way the video describes such a machine would be so impossibly impractical. Moving parts are a nightmare to deal with, one little breakdown of any of those nanoscale moving parts would cause the entire thing to stop working correctly.

A more practical design for a nanofabricator wouldn’t brute force atoms together with nanoscale factory machines, but would instead use precision lasers to both breakdown the starting molecules and as a catalyst to overcome the potential energy necessary for atoms to bond in a particular configuration.

Not even to mention the scaling issue with the machine approach, with precision lasers, it’s infinity more scaleable and to scale up all you would need is more lasers that work in coordinating.

nice example.

it definitely does seem like "contextualization" is one of the biggest limiters on gpt performance.

you might enjoy this copilot reverse engineering in a similar vein. if i had enough time i would probably port some of these techniques to emacs (can use copilot there but looking at extensions dont quite do all this i dont think, tho it does work well enough with just the buffer)

Reply to comment by ecnecn in Myth debunked: Myths about nanorobots by kalavala93

I was referring to molecular assemblers - a machine that runs in a vacuum chamber at a controlled temperature. It receives through plumbing hundreds of 'feedstock gases' that are pure gases of specific type. It can make many (thousands+) of nanoscale parts, and then combine those parts into assemblies, and combine those assemblies etc.

Everything is made of the same limited library of parts, but they can be combined many different ways.

This makes possible things like cuboidal metal "cells" that are robotic, do not operate in water, and can in turn interact with each other to form larger machines, making possible something like the 'T-1000' from terminator 2. (it probably couldn't reconfigure itself as quick as the machine in the movie, but that doesn't matter since it wouldn't miss when shooting)

custom proteins are for medicine, and won't work at all the same way.

Reply to I don't see why AGI would help us by TheOGCrackSniffer

the input cost of placating humanity will probably be very little compared to other tasks it might wish to undertake. there is probably no real disadvantage to helping, and probably quite a few disadvantages to not helping.

Google is just weird. It's a breakdown in management.

But didn't we have a big role in invented the latest AI?

It's just a breakdown. This happens. All the time. Just an evolutionary process. Once worked at a startup in NYC, with 5 MBAs running the shop. They just could not understand Open Source. Incomprehensible to them. And these were 5 Ivy League grads.

"How can something be for free? That makes zero sense."

We ended up paying $25K a month of a "custom build web server" application. It never worked, it was disaster. I said, just use Apache. It's free!

"Free can not be better than $25,000 a month. That's IMPOSSIBLE."

Company folded.

They just didn't get it. Same story at Google, they just don't get it. And the "business guys" there run the show. Not the coders.
