This confused me at first as well.. inactive experts skip compute, but weights are sill loaded. So memory does not shrink at all.

I found this visualisation helpful - https://vectree.io/c/sparse-activation-patterns-and-memory-e...

There is genuine demand for physical AI in Japan, there are not enough humans to hire.

I bet, EU will start long debates wether to automate or not :) Japan already skipped that part

exactly, the simplicity is its beauty!

A single data structure (tables), no built in OOP (you build it with metatables).

Coroutines instead of threads.

I was curious and explored it in detail here - https://vectree.io/c/lua-language-design-metatables-coroutin...

or rather "move when?"

Moving 1,400 tonnes might take years. The window to act is closing.

Window is not closing.. the stonk market would go to zero. Any doubt about being able to move assets out of the US would cause a run on US stonks.

Also the US has fairly strong private property rights.

We've seen time and again that rights and laws mean shit to the current administration.

My point is: Blocking withdrawal of financial assets from the US would be wall street ending.

No foreign investors would put money into US stonks.

It's not impossible, sure, but probably worse than the great depression.

Agreed, it takes decades to build manufacturing expertise.. lose demand for a few years and all is lost

Throwing more money at it does not work either, you need skilled workforse

Same is happening in EU with shipbuilding

interesting, I never realized macOS compresses memory in place before swapping.. Linux just dumps straight to disk, no wonder it freezes

Found good visual explainer on this - https://vectree.io/c/linux-virtual-memory-swap-oom-killer-vs...

Funny part is that the real infra behind digital signatures is insanely serious compared to DocuSing "cutesy font"..

I did not know that root CA keys are generated in faraday cages?? Multiple custodians persent, then kept in tamper proof vaults.

I had no idea until I saw this visual breakdown - https://vectree.io/c/public-key-infrastructure-pki-and-certi...

Agreed, every astronaut says no photo prepares you for actually being there.

Knowing what the far side looks like and floating there looking at it are completely different things

what surprised me is how different the rendering architecture is for each framework.

Win32 -> message loops & GDI

Winforms -> managed C# via P/Invoke

WPF -> throwse all away and uses DirectX

UWP -> Appcontainer sandboxing

WinUI -> decouples from OS entirely

This visual breakdown helped me to see it clearly - https://vectree.io/c/evolution-of-windows-gui-frameworks-fro...

As far as I remember, WinForms is just a thin wrapper around Win32 with a message loop, i.e. not all that different.

So.. eat more fiber and your gut bacteria will produce butyrate. And that helps muscles.
