Perfectly captures something strange/broken about LLMs: they take more computation to produce longer output, while humans often take more computation to produce shorter output.

Who is the most successful VC in hardware companies? Someone who invested in many companies with multiple wins? . Success = company that got to significant revenue, gross profit, and still exists in some form today.

If US federal deficit spending of ~6% GDP was lowered to 0, could inflation stay low with near 0 interest rates for extended periods? We'd get ZIRP, but only the good parts. .

I designed a 1m wingspan flying wing drone that prints in a single print on a Form 4L in only a few pieces. Just add electronics. No servo horns outside for a very sleek design. Doesn't fly amazing yet. Needs a v2.
