Someone in a previous comment on LLM research said that according to what he knew about LLM research that we were in a local maximum that no further improvement was likely possible. I disagreed with him, and this article is evidence that is

Right so if I'm a janitor and I use chemicals to clean things which is the result of hundreds of years of human ingenuity and chemical engineering I suddenly owe humanity money? No. That is the perverted idea. I'm simply talking a

What company. Worth avoiding.

They had an acquisition where the code became 75% react over night due to the acquisition. This was the major turning point. Purely business, purely popularity. It wasn't technical superiority.

What do you mean by fairly distributed? If all my machines are better than you intellectually and all my machines are stronger and faster than you physically... Then it is completely fair for me to not give you any wealth because the machin

Yes. one of the things rust sacrifices for high performance is modularity. Rust is a better language for safety and high performance, however it is not the best language in terms of modularity. Haskell takes the crown for modularity and saf

Rust sacrifices modularity for performance. You're going to have to clone everything if you want to follow along with rust. Additionally you have to use generics and trait bounds extensively for some equivalent function in rust.

History is littered with empires. Nothing is ever stable. Both situations of multitudes of nation states and a single monolithic empire don't have staying power.

The scenario you declare here is basically option 2. Some sort of cold war stalemate between two super powers. The US doesn't want this. China wants more then a stalemate. You are right, none of these are options by choice, they are on

Yes. It's still the underdog though. But china is trying to build something to rival the US.

You can also ask chatGPT for some good recs. I say this here because it looks like this was already done.

This is definitely a realistic take . Many people don't agree with you and prefer to see china as the enemy though. I would say that the view point is a little biased as it doesn't mention all three possibilities. 1. US world empi

Yes agreed. That's a huge benefit. But it also comes with a downside. The fix for the mistake can immediately by unfixed in a subsequent election.

Exactly. The answer is not so clear cut black and white. Centralized governments tend to be more efficient but lack the checks and balances of a democracy. Singapore, for example, is a good showcase for centralized government.

Bring a project to a stand still with the term -10x? The term itself doesn't make sense. I know the article is generally just talking about bad engineers. However the topic I started here is more about the term 10x. >And I have seen

Except this isn't true. Trump was voted into power by the lower middle class simply for having rhetoric that was different from the status quo. He was "real" and his style largely resonated with an america who was tired of po

Hence the term 2nd hand. China won't be able to get chips directly. They have to go through secondary sources. Similar to how the US illegally obtained titanium from Russia for development of the sr71.

I didn't say it has to mean that. 1x is the average. We agree on that. The std can be anything. But the max possible std is 1x. that's all I'm saying. You can now define the std to be whatever you want up to 1x. So I take the

Negative IQ? The test should be the definition of IQ, the statistical distribution doesn't define IQ. If the statistical distribution is saying you can have negative IQ but it is fundamentally impossible to score that amount on the tes

It's not arbitrary. Theoretically the max range of the std is infinite. However because the input values are limited in range the std also becomes limited. You're thinking of it in terms of an infinite range from negative infinity

It doesn't make any sense to convert any arbitrary recursion into tail called optimized. If the recursion can be tail called optimized then yes the loop is the optimized performant implementation. But if the recursion fundamentally uti

Another thing to think about is how basically every human trait follows a normal distribution. If mean = 1x (by definition 1x should be the mean) and the std is the maximum possible value (also 1x). Then 10x would be 10 std past the norm. T

Every competent and qualified engineer should be able to do the job of 10 competent and qualified engineers? The statement that every engineer can be a 10x engineer is recursively paradoxical. If a 10x engineer existed, in my mind, he would

I'm sorry, but that statement is not accurate. Oxygen is an element that exists naturally in the universe, and it was not invented or created by humans or any other living organism. However, it is true that oxygen has played a crucial

Oh man. My eyes just skipped over that negative sign every time. Now it makes sense. I thought the article was sarcastic. I'm blind.
