    Our readingCompute platforms are converging toward one unified, globally distributed system limited only by physics.

    Their wordsThe future is one global and unified compute platform, with only known physics as the limiting factor

    Our readingAesthetics is truth: when something is beautiful it is likely to be correct, in code as in mathematics and physics.

    Their wordsI mean, I think aesthetics is truth. When something is beautiful, it's likely to be correct. I think this is true in mathematics. This is true in physics. This is true in a lot of different domains that when you arrive at something that has the correct aesthetic quality.

    Our readingEngineer from the physical limits first, then improve, rather than shaving a few days off a 74-day process by continuous improvement.

    Their wordsI don't love the other methods, which is continuous improvement. The problem with continuous improvement, it… First of all, you should engineer something from first principles at the speed, you know, with speed of light thinking. Limit it only by physical limits, and physics limits. And after that, of course you would improve it over time.

    Our readingPhysics will be unified again as it has been before; the obstacle is that relativity and quantum mechanics already explain almost everything we can measure.

    Their wordsBut I have faith that we've been doing this for centuries and we've made progress before. There's no reason why we should stop.

    Terence Tao quoted

    Our readingString theory, the leading candidate for decades, is slowly going out of fashion because it is not matching experiment.

    Their wordsYeah, that was a leading candidate for many decades. I think it's slowly pulling out of fashion. It's not matching experiment.

    Terence Tao quoted

    Our readingCurrent AI struggles even to rediscover old laws of physics from data, and when it does, contamination from training is the first suspect.

    Their wordsThe dream is you just feed it all this data, and this is here is a new patent that we didn't see before, but it actually, even the current state of the art even struggles to discover old laws of physics from the data.
