You are only a product of your environment. The bottom of that environment is a pit, and there is no ladder back up onto the walls. Maybe a few shots towards the top gets someone to lower the ladder.

This is an upload by DJ Ware explaining the Landauer Limit and implications for silicon tech. Don Ware is a former Bell Labs engineer that posts about computing at an advanced level.

Here is the more ambiguous Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

This is why the future of all technology is likely biological, and we live in the Stone Age of Silicon presently... or at least this supports my hard sci-fi universe narrative. I did not know how close the end of silicon may be. I highly recommend watching this upload. I've been pondering this one for days.

Edit: Anonymous negative people suck and make me ready to leave Lemmy. Video has merit but people are too stupid to watch it and react instead showing the level of intellect in the room.

This place seems dead. I was skimming some stuff to make a few posts, after posting a basic casual conversation, the negativity shut me down like usual. I am sitting here with 5 tabs and some interesting stuff, but I'm totally disinterested in trying or even spending any more time here this evening. What value does that add for anyone when this place is dying a slow death of disinterest and low engagement? I never add negativity. I only ignore and block. I never discourage because I know I would be shooting myself in the foot. Why is this not fundamentally standard logic for everyone. If you disagree about opinions, appreciate diversity and ignore or better yet discuss. Anonymous negativity to strangers is psychotic behavior that should never have existed in the first place. It is not normal. It is no different that walking up to a stranger in a supermarket and yelling at them for what they wear or how they talk. That is crazy stupid.

The plague of NIMBY's may yield if a real plan is put in place to rebuild better. Vast areas could be rezoned for density. A way of addressing the enormous number of displaced people could also address the largest homeless population in the USA. The city that defines urban sprawl could be redefined. How does this play out?

If I procrastinate tomorrow I will still have time

I was watching an upload by Prompt Engineering on the SmolAgents agentic rag project. In it they talk about the importance of forming questions in the same affirmative voice that the LLM will respond with. My understanding is fuzzy here. Language is not my strongest subject. So maybe ELI5 please. What is "asking questions in an affirmative voice," and more importantly, what is it in contrast to other forms of voicing?

Adventures of an American tank crew in the North African desert in World War II during the Allied retreat after the fall of Tobruk.

I watched this last night and made it all the way through (rare for me, like high/dull praise). The 1943 angle was probably more interesting to me than the plot and dialogue. It had plenty of stereotypes expected from WW2 raging at the time, but no fascist level propaganda IMO. The racial angles were interesting in the attempts to ameliorate and contrast IMO.
