Haha retards from Stanford. Those soft kids would not have survived the rigors of tougher, elite schools like MIT or Caltech

Guys.....Caltech is in California. Just saying. Reid is probably picking up the phone as we speak.

@Caltech Kip Thorne is using the idea of motion dynamics as a placeholder for signified motion? This means the unequal item of the Lagrangian is defunct in deep space?

Caltech, MIT & Cambridge are all converging on information being fundamental

This quote is funny in a way as he was a good friend of Leonard Susskind at Caltech.

That's a sweet deal. Happy to share with prospective quant applicants from Caltech (we have a private group chat). DM me if it's of interest

The big outstanding question is whether there is a moat to model routing. I have written a PhD thesis at Caltech on LLM cascades & routing, and the answer is not clear to me. The critical question in my mind is whether the advantage from having more usage data will taper off and plateau.

12 scouts. 12 campuses. Harvard · MIT · Stanford · UCLA · Berkeley · Caltech · CMU · Columbia · Oxford · Cambridge · ETH Zurich · TU Munich 6 months. One scout per school. Competing to find the best talent.

I cannot grasp your strange indifference to what this would even mean. Perhaps you have good answers but you never give them.

Brother, you’re a smart enough guy to realize you are failing to model people’s actual views. (Source: I did not get in to caltech. 😁)

Trois phrases, trois erreurs. 🤣 On déroule car c’est vraiment pecno. 1. « Confisquer 15 %. » Tu confonds une fortune avec un compte en banque. La richesse de Musk, ce sont des parts de Tesla et SpaceX, pas du cash dans un coffre. Tu en brades 15 % d’un coup, tu fais s’effondrer le cours, et ton magot fond avant d’avoir touché le premier océan. Le chiffre que tu vois à l’écran n’existe que tant que personne ne fait ce que tu proposes. Et la pauvreté n’est pas une facture qu’on règle une fois. On déverse des milliers de milliards depuis des décennies. Si l’argent seul suffisait, ton « utopie » serait là depuis longtemps. Le mot est d’ailleurs savoureux : on a déjà tenté le coup au XXᵉ siècle, confisquer les riches pour bâtir le paradis. Résultat : des files d’attente pour du pain, pas des mers propres. Dans mon métier, liquider l’actif qui crée de la valeur chaque année pour un one-shot, on appelle ça tuer la poule aux œufs d’or. Toi tu appelles ça un plan. 🤡 2. « Obsession phallique. » Ce n’est pas un argument, c’est un gloussement de cour de récré. Le réel : la réutilisation a fait chuter le coût d’accès à l’orbite d’environ 54 000 $/kg à l’époque de la navette à moins de 3 000, près de 95 % de baisse. C’est exactement ça qui rend Starlink possible, une constellation qui aurait coûté quelque 380 milliards aux anciens prix de lancement. Ton « jouet » connecte des zones de guerre et des trous que ton propre continent n’arrive pas à câbler. 3. Le bouquet : « on ne peut même pas transporter l’électricité de l’espace vers la Terre. » Mon pote, c’est l’inverse du concept. On produit l’énergie solaire en orbite, soleil 24h/24, ni nuit ni nuages, et on la consomme sur place pour faire tourner le calcul. On ne fait pas descendre de l’électricité. On fait descendre des données. Des photons. C’est trivial. Et même ton « impossible » est faux : Caltech a transmis de l’énergie sans fil dans l’espace et fait détecter de l’énergie envoyée jusqu’au sol depuis l’orbite, dès 2023. La seule chose que tu déclares infaisable a déjà été démontrée. Tu t’es plaint, juste après, de lire « beaucoup d’arguments mal informés » sous ton post. Le plus mal informé, c’était le tien. « Dumbest idea ever » tu parlais de quoi, déjà ?

Gordon Moore endowed Caltech with 900 million since 25 years ago

"Mars and the Mind of Man" (1973) is a non-fiction book based on a public symposium held at Caltech on November 12, 1971—the day before NASA's Mariner 9 probe became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet (Mars). It was edited/published with contributions from a star panel: Ray Bradbury (science fiction author, famous for The Martian Chronicles), Arthur C. Clarke (author of 2001: A Space Odyssey and more), Carl Sagan (astronomer and science communicator), Bruce C. Murray (Caltech planetary scientist), and moderated by Walter Sullivan (New York Times science editor). The book includes the discussion transcript, early Mariner 9 photos of Mars, and later "afterthoughts" from the panelists. Context and Purpose The event celebrated a major milestone in space exploration just as Mariner 9 was about to send back detailed images after earlier missions (like Mariner 4) had shown a seemingly barren Mars. The panel discussed: The scientific implications of the Mariner 9 mission. The nature of Mars itself (potential for life, geology, environment). Humanity's relationship with the cosmos. The value and future of space exploration. Broader philosophical questions about civilization, romance vs. reality in science, and our place in the universe. It’s not a novel or story collection like Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles (his poetic, interconnected tales of human colonization of a fantastical Mars). This is a real-time intellectual conversation blending hard science, speculation, literature, and wonder. Key Highlights and Themes Ray Bradbury’s contributions: He emphasizes the importance of romance in driving scientific discovery. He argues that humans start with excitement, wonder, and stories (like those from Jules Verne or Edgar Rice Burroughs that inspired him), which fuel the pursuit of facts. He shared an unpublished poem, “If Only We Had Taller Been,” celebrating human ambition to reach for the stars. Bradbury positioned himself as the least “scientific” panelist but highlighted how imagination leads to exploration. Arthur C. Clarke: Discussed the “benign” nature of space environments for technology (compared to extremes on Earth) and predicted life (or human-introduced life) on Mars by century’s end. He touched on expanding frontiers beyond Mars, possibly to Jupiter. Carl Sagan: Stressed keeping an open mind about life on Mars, avoiding premature conclusions, and embracing ambiguity and ignorance as part of science. He advocated for careful planetary protection (sterilizing spacecraft) while balancing costs and benefits. Later reflections critiqued funding priorities (e.g., comparing space missions to war spending). Overall themes include the interplay of science and imagination, the excitement of discovery, ethical considerations in exploration, and humanity’s drive to expand outward despite earthly challenges like war or environmental issues. Style and Legacy The book reads like a lively, thoughtful conversation rather than a dry academic text. It captures the optimism and uncertainty of the early 1970s Space Age. Though out of print and somewhat rare today, it’s valued as a cultural artifact showing how leading minds grappled with Mars exploration in real time. Bradbury’s more literary Mars works (The Martian Chronicles, with its vignettes of colonization, Martian culture clashes, and human flaws), this offers a fascinating real-world counterpart—where the “mind of man” confronts the actual red planet through science, poetry, and philosophy.

Caltech and Harvey Mudd grads are making 300k straight out of undergrad. It depends on the school and the degree.

It’s not some minor detail you believe. You believe the cat is both dead and alive of you believe that the logical Question is do you morn the cat even when you see this cat is alive. It’s very strange that all the disturbing consequences are totally brushed aside

Perhaps you know work out what this would actually mean about everything. Perhaps explain why quantum immortality is not a gives you know. Things you are kind of obliged if you say everything is different.

It’s just ridicilous to believe this and never comment on it further. It’s insane to me
