If I was going to take on Microsoft I would say a lot of things that were not “I’m going to take on Microsoft,” best not to wake the sleeping giant. You can fix a lot of orgs by attacking them. Also I think Valve is set up as a bit of an an

Gabe is a former MSFTy, left in 1996 to found Valve, he saw games as more popular than Windows. It wouldn’t surprise me if he got into games in order to compete against his former employer which would suggest to me that this plan has been i

Quite typically the highest return investments are picked first; as such there is a diseconomy of scale, it should be of no surprise that the ROI decreases as investment scales. Perhaps instead of thinking of it as a sign of efficiency it s

I assume too good to be true. I had the misfortune to be pitching to VCs in the UK, the money was so expensive that it’s just not worth it, much better off moving to the US if you can.

I was thinking more new to combat not new to Reagan, although if Carter buys it and Reagan uses it wouldn't that still be new to Reagan.

Seems that the Taliban rule reduced Opium production by 95% but the cost of solar didn't go up 20x? At best the US did nothing to stop it. I would include displacing the Taliban as a direct result of US influence.

In defense of foobarian AFAIK driver code is famously the lowest quality code of just about any domain, even worse than academic code. The software is written by cost cutting hardware companies.

You would probably kill more people that way rather than making it a death penalty for use. The other problem is enterprises that make money like this can easily corrupt the police and politicians. Since users don’t make money from using th

A 100% on the total war must also go after users not just suppliers. Otherwise you’re just making the market more profitable for the remaining suppliers. It’s really hard to stop things that are immensely profitable.

Foreign wars are used to launder money not stop drugs, Opium production in Afghanistan increased during US occupation, if the actual goal was to stop drug production it would be more effective to put the Taliban in charge of Venezuela. I se

No moral or injustice component needed. I have genetic chronic fatigue and I’m limited in what I can do about it, there is a component of making peace with loss, a radical acceptance of one’s own situation. And there is a component of extre

Accepting the things that you cannot change does not mean assume you cannot change things then accept it. It’s predicated on an accurate assessment of what you can and cannot change. In my view such acceptance is for optimizing application

One of the problems with incompetence, of which there are many, is that it gives bad actors space to operate. From a security point of view I don’t think the distinction matters all that much. That said, the situations I’ve head about were

I have heard there is a growing trend of hackers paying kickbacks to insiders, certainly makes hacking easier.

I fail to see why needing to be able to train your own LLMs is any sort of prerequisite. I already made the distinction between different qualities of guns, a lower quality gun is immensely more effective than no gun at all.

by cjbgkagh 1y ago
I disagree in this context, LLMs raise the lower bound and diminish the relative advantage. Consider the introduction of firearms into feudal Japan, the lower bound is raised such that an untrained person has a much higher chance of prevail

That’s what I was thinking but I looked it up in the dictionary and appears that firing is already pretty neutral yet picked up the negative connotation, presumably because most people consider firings to be with cause. Even ‘layoffs’ has p

Are we sure on the causality here? Many people get chronic fatigue from a mono infection (EBV) and chronic fatigue has a dysautonomia componenent which has a circadian rhythm component. A lot of this stuff is bidirectionally related, formin

The discretion of the validity of pointing out hypocrisy is the core of the issue. I would 100% agree with you if all discussions are purely logical, but they’re not, so I don’t. The introduction of whataboutism into the lexicon was to coun

Sounds like what I said, a form of narrative control. A charge I made of both appeals to hypocrisy and appeals to whataboutism. My personal preference would be logical and factual discussions only but I accept that’s not the world we live i

by cjbgkagh 1y ago
Controlling the narrative is often the point of using rhetorical fallacies. Like the intolerance of intolerance there is discretion over what are acceptable intolerances. With whataboutism there is discretion over what are acceptable appeal

by cjbgkagh 1y ago
What about the whataboutism of whataboutism? I.e. meta-whataboutism The use of whataboutism and the ‘calling out’ of whataboutisms are both mechanisms of narrative control.

The point of filling it is to remove the compressible empty space so that large pressure gradients won’t crush it.

I think it’s first order the rent (commercial) and second order the wages needed to pay rents (residential). Having seen the rents in the major cities I don’t know how people manage - it’s insanity.

How much of that do you think would be attributable to IBM or Rational Software?

Numbers were not invented, they were tied to management bonuses, numbers lower than that negatively impacted bonuses. Inhouse counsel were much more worried about disparate impact lawsuits than race quota lawsuits. There are many reasons wh

Since they don't make up 50% of the pipeline the enforced restriction necessitates hiring further down the ability rank even if you are to assume that all races and all sexes have the same ability / aptitude. And it also means for
