Let's clone it. Find out if our ancestor's dog was a good boy.
Who is working on a portable self contained LLM? I want an oracle that I can use off grid.
I like it. We are but dust and to dust we shall return. The rare ancient has any persistent trace. That some fragment of my life may be wondered at in 10k years is a crazy thought.

I just look at shale production charts like this from time to time and think, "This is going to be so bad, and no one outside energy understands it."
Count down to "well the shield didn't burn all the way through so there's a safety factor of 3" lifted directly from Feynman's minority report on Challenger.
Almost every day I get asked "Why haven't you patented Terraform's tech?" Because if we want to disclose, we can just tweet it for free.

This is awesome but it also leaves an opening for an epochal slipstream solarpunk techno-optimistic novel set in near future California. The energy singularity approacheth, and sooner (probably) than AGI. AFAIK this story has not been written. @rezendi please help, I have no…

If headline editors would just add “using NEPA” to every headline where it applies we would have real permitting reform within 3 months. Frankly they are doing the world a disservice by not adding those two words every time.

Can we intentionally cool the earth? And should we? Luke Iseman of @MakeSunsets says “we’ve done such a poor job at Geo engineering our climate w/ carbon emissions for the last several hundred years, that we now need to geoengineer it in a positive direction to offset that.”…

@hinathan @CJHandmer Thanks for posting this. I tried it out on and old M1 Macbook and it works, even if very slow.

@CJHandmer Apple just released a small one for on device inference
@CJHandmer This is what bothers me the most with these ai devices that keep coming out. Let me host a mistral instance nearby on a desktop and use it as an HID via WiFi. Those Mac Studio clusters that have been popping up recently would be perfect for this: 300W each is very manageable.
@CJHandmer An ipad or iphone with llama mlx and offline wikipedia is a good start
@CJHandmer Is that possible given an LLM's energy and compute needs?
@CJHandmer @karpathy's llm.c is a step in the right direction.

It has come to my attention that I have done insufficient self-promotion & some of you don't even know I have a podcast. I do! It's called Volts & it's about clean energy. And -- if I may say so myself -- it's been on a bit of a roll lately. A 🧵.
Worth reminding once again that this was supposedly designed the "proper" way to work as intended from the get go. Apparently you can't just design out every possible issue who would've thought it...
