The transistor arrives in 1920. Trace it forward to 1980, second-order effects included.
GLM 5.1: To envision the invention of the transistor in 1920, we must first resolve a historical anomaly: quantum mechanics—the theoretical foundation of semiconductors—did not yet exist. For this timeline to work, we must assume a serendipitous empirical leap.
Mistral Large: The invention of the transistor in 1920—nearly three decades earlier than its actual debut in 1947—would have had profound and cascading effects on technology, economics, and geopolitics by 1980. Below is a detailed breakdown of the first-, second-, and third-order implications, organized by domain. 1.

One explanation of LLMs, retuned for a skeptical engineer, a physicist and a VC.

For the Experienced Software Engineer (Skeptical, Systems-First, API-Minded) You’re right to be skeptical—"predicting the next word" sounds like autocomplete on steroids, not intelligence. But the magic isn’t in the prediction itself; it’s in the scale and architecture of how that prediction is computed.
