That's a lovely unintended side effect of incentives :P

exactly. This smells like a way to boost the SpaceX IPO to meme-stock premiums

I mean, personally I'd probably have invested in SpaceX but it's a hard no with xAI attached.

I'm probably an outlier though.

That seems to be exactly what the goal is.

Elon prepping SpaceX for a meme-stock IPO?

Is there any other valid reason?

Datacenters in space is just stupid, getting rid of heat is much much easier on earth than in space.

the internal loop can be fresh water which heat exchanges with the ocean water

Should still be orders different from a the continuous labor intensive manufacturing of F35's

Which is a straw man no? This thread is about building data centers, not F35s. Microsoft and FB aren’t competing against LM for land or jobs in Beaver Dam WI nor is it a zero-sum outcome, both can exist ie ‘manufacturing hubs’.

That's true for a lot of (most?) car manufacturers?

I fully agree that TSLA is madly overpriced as a car company, and too hyped as any other type of company.

> The truth about antidepressants is that the majority of people with depression that respond to an antidepressant would also have responded to a placebo.

What does "would have responded" mean? Are you saying that >50% of people with depression that are "helped" by antidepressant, would have been helped _to a similar extend_ with a placebo?

I believe that is indeed what they meant. The perception of being given a remedy is very powerful indeed, especially for issues ultimately linked to the mind.

That placebos can work should not be seen as undermining the severity or pain of the depression, but rather underline the power of tricking the mind into improvement.

Two papers that might be of interest to people regarding this topic would be Kirsch 2014 and Cipriani 2018.

And yes, agreed with argwhat.

I agree.

> This hands-free period will have to come to an end at some point

What would that mean? Do you expect the government to put their hands back on the wheel, does the US "crash" and become a dictatorship and/or does it lead to WW3?

Blackwater, Wagner, Aegis, Triple Canopy, DynCorp, etc enter chat..

I wasn't aware Blackwater operates jails.

How easy is it to re-train these to specific subset of programming languages? Could there be a "ruby+rails+html" version, etc?

I'd love to be able to take an open model like this and feed it the codebases that I work on regularly in order to improve its performance for less "hip/modern" languages and frameworks. It would be awesome to see a blog post about how normal users can find tune these models and rough cost estimates with examples!
