I'm going to be dubious of any study that has a call to action section and the author is the vice president of an advocacy group for their cause. It's a little bit of a "we investigated ourselves and found we were right about

Even worse than that, it will pass, people will realize it actually sucks, then they we will go back to the quick and nearly painless "rip off the bandaid" approach.

Permanent standard time means less sunlight time after work. Permanent DST means kids walking to school in the dark. Changing the clock twice a year fixes that and lets us avoid both, with the only cost being people complaining for a day af

I don't know anyone worth knowing who would judge on those grounds. Capable people judge on capability. The idea that when I need to reach someone for help with something specific, that I know they are very capable of doing, that I wou

People add the value of being able to say they work at/worked for Anthropic. You also will meet a ton of high value/highly connected individuals. The salary could probably be $30k and they would still have to cut the application p

The whole idea is to let people slip in the gap. It's the very lack of gaps that causes the whole jam in the first place.

Generally you need to be pretty competent to get to the level of where these Google maps guys are. To get to the competence level of a local traffic planner, you need to have stuck it out through a Civ E degree and maybe went through the mo

States give the tax incentives, local municipalities are cheap to buy out, that's why all these towns quickly pass approval. $30 million annually is pennies for a datacenter and a windfall for a town.

The downside to this is that services become class based again then. Instagram is the same service for everyone, regardless if you are homeless or a billionaire, it is exactly because it is an ad based model. Same for google and facebook. T

People seem to forget that Iranians were rioting in the streets in the weeks leading up to the US attacking. The Iranian government was shooting protestors and pulled the plug on the internet. The US (well Israel) saw this as the stars alig

>Own a gun? No you don't unless you store it correctly and have documentation of ammunition spent etc. So we will have right to repair but it's only legal if you document all repairs, keep records of parts ordered, only use ver

Well, then there also must not be much relevance between lax guns laws and school shooters? I get what you are (trying) to say, but lets be real here. Right to repair people (myself included) just need to own that it will have some downside

The funny thing about Google is that Google Search is happy to serve LLM labs search results if it drives their metrics up. Just like Google Cloud is happy to sell off compute to OAI an Anthropic to drive up their metrics. Google also owns

SpaceX, like Tesla, seems to have the same "portrayals over profits" mindset investors. So it doesn't even really matter whether or not xAI is making any money.

I would naturally assume they cut the background thinking level to the minimum. It's a halting problem question and with in text 5.5 with max thinking will chew on a question for 5-10 minutes sometimes. That would make a pretty awkward

That's not really a fair question, especially given the audience here on HN. Most here have blood on their hands from the previous 25 years of tech-eats-the-world.

I imagine we are not far off from talking AI's being better speaker/listeners than 99% of the population. Frankly, the bar isn't that high anyway.

I mean the real unspeakeable secret is how the American mid-high-middle-class/upper-class has so effectively turned financially transparent despite being the wealthiest group in the country. The 65% to 99% are just an absolute hulking

The issue is that "decent life" is a benchmark that (besides being subjective) is set relatively rather than absolutely. So being in the bottom 50% in the US sucks when you look around your country, but is actually pretty "de
