Being weight X while gaining weight is a significantly different metabolic state than being weight X while losing weight.

So, walking is worse than unemployment? I'm just asking where the ranking is coming from.

How is taking away their ability to earn money at all more humane than not giving them a car loan? I'm genuinely confused how you are ranking those two things.

If we want to stop illegal immigration, "not getting a car loan" and "harder to move money across the border" feel like the most humane ways to slow it down. Plus, the drug trade coming in from Mexico is, in fact, a huge

US companies published their research on transformers. The only reason Chinese companies have any models at all is open US research... Add distillation to that, and the entire Chinese AI sphere is really just an offshoot of public US AI inf

Minimalist code is necessary to keep AI agents working well for longer than a month on a system IME. At a certain point, their own machinations overwhelm them and they both slow down, and make worse and worse decisions.

This is a good counterpoint.

by BobbyJo 2mo ago
IIRC, using AI for CSAM and deepfake porn of people is already illegal in the US. That's not so much a lack of law as a lack of a means of enforcement. If you sell people pens and paper, its pretty difficult to stop them from using it

This is a bad counterpoint to "more regulation makes business harder". No regulation at all is probably the hardest business environment possible, but too much regulation is bad too.

I think it's touching the limit of what one can reasonably expect any intelligent thing to produce with the only direction being "produce an svg of a pelican riding a bicycle". When you aren't sure if an LLM can write an

Yes, I find the K8s codebase pretty easy to read actually, but I am biased since I work with K8s and the codebase makes a lot of sense when you understand what everything does already.

100% with you on every point. It's the only language I've worked in that lets me read other codebases without an hour or two of "wut?" happening, so they did something right!

Social security was created so that money collected day one could be distributed day one. Allowing people to opt out and invest the money is incompatible with the model as a whole. It's like asking if you can save today's extra he

Those jobs are much more niche, and require much more specialized knowledge. Google alone probably has more software employees than all of the high paying trading firms combined. It's a possible career path, sure, but its like comparin

Almost certainly, outside of standard trade restriction windows. I don't think they have any control over what you do in the market outside of preventing insider trading.

1000000% this. I remember lamenting all through the 2010s that all the high paying jobs were basically ad revenue supported. Now its AI. Maybe AI doesn't materialize the way we want, but I'll take that bet over business as usual b

But do they at any useful scale? China is probably the only other country deploying AI at any appreciable fraction of their economy, and it's certainly much less than the US.

Back then you could spend 6 months making something twice as fast, or wait six months for computers to become twice as fast. People obviously did the latter. It also became a cycle: People write single threaded code -> CPUs/OSs opti

No, you're operating within the confines of the system when you vote to change it. Voting to change the system, in the US, is part of the system. By fighting I meant in ways outside of the system. To me its saying both "the system
