the duality of man

It's been a while since the CBE app stopped working if you're using a Safaricom SIM Card for data.

This's obviously unfair for the market and so dumb. Why isn't it getting fixed asap?!!

One of the more technical podcasts I've been on. Had fun and it turns philosophical and technical after some point. Check it out :)

The host is also very calm and chill.

One thing I keep noticing about my self is that I keep learning alot away from people and it never feels enough but its only when I engage in conversations or debates that I understand how much I have learnt about a specific subject.

I highly recommend you to engage in conversations, public speaking and debates with nice friends. It really does change the way you understand and organize your knowledge,

Bro is back :)

I actually like reading Sam Altman's works. It's so optimistic and explains ideas very nicely.

The Gentle Singularity

"People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over 1 second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also uses about 0.000085 gallons of water; roughly 1/15th of a teaspoon"

"For a long time, technical people in the startup industry have made fun of “the idea guys”; people who had an idea and were looking for a team to build it. It now looks to me like they are about to have their day in the sun."

Sam talks about democratizing access to intelligence to all people in the world. For some reason I don't believe that will happen.

One, you can see that the US doesn't send out Nvidia GPUs to China and China collects data from anyone using their models. So you can imagine how even if these companies want to give access to everyone their governments won't let them. Not only that but event he companies them selves won't like to give access to everyone (take Anthropic for instance)

Two, it's almost like the light bulb story. In short today we can have light bulbs that don't burn off and last for decades more. But light bulb companies got together and decided to not provide us with that. Just like that there's no reason that the rich won't get more access to these powerful models than casual individuals.

For those reasons I think Sam Altman is kind of super optimistic about this.

On a random note...

There is suggestive epidemiological evidence that men who ejaculate more frequently may have a slightly lower incidence of prostate cancer. However, this association is not definitively causal.

Systematic reviews emphasize that the overall evidence is weak and inconsistent, and no guidelines endorse ejaculation frequency as a preventive measure. In practice, claims that masturbation “prevents” prostate cancer are considered premature and likely overhyped.

You shall know the truth and it shall set you free.

Last night, for the first time, I saw a classic movie. It was a movie made in 1963 called 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The plot centers around mysterious black monoliths that appear at critical points in human history, influencing the development and evolution of humanity. The iconic part is about a spaceship that hosts a super intelligent computer called HAL-9000 which later tries to kill everyone on board to eliminate human error.

I have mixed feelings about the movie. For instance the fact that they made a movie this visually beautiful without video editing or CGI is mind blowing and it's also cause of this that it's considered a classic. Another thing is that it's more of a silent movie cause the dialogue scenes are a few and not that deep, so most things are told just visually.

The story is meh to me. Specially the ending was horrible. But for a movie that was based on a short story they did wonderful. Overall it's a great movie to get started with classics. Another thing I didn't like was the inaccurate science but I can't blame them cause no one has gone to space when this movie was made.

Also the fact that there's no nudity or anything related to sex or lust is so amazing tbh.
