I have a hypothesis that AI music and other arts will not take off. My reasoning is that the fact that it was made by another human is really important. Not only because you might think a piece of music is lame because it was made by AI v

I agree, but there does need to be a successor in the coming years. Everyone ages. And often, the greatest leaders' biggest mistakes are not to pick and train a proper successor. Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, Abraham Lincoln are ju

Correct, but as the article states, it was the MAGA side that laid into him and made him pull it. Steve Bannon has said many times he would've kept Lina Khan. The populists are socially conservative but economically liberal in many res

Living in Maine makes you prepared for this type of stuff. It happens every winter. When I was a kid, we once went 2 weeks without electricity. Wood stove becomes an obvious necessity. Not just for staying warm. For cooking. Chickens in the

The problems the US has with inequality can be laid squarely at the foot of the dollar being the world's reserve currency. It works like this: The world uses dollars in international trade. Who produces the world's dollars? Washin

1. The main transformative aspect of LLMs has been in writing code. 2. LLMs have had less transformative aspects in 2025 than we anticipated back in late 2022. 3. LLMs are unlikely to be very transformative to society, even as their intelli

To all the people saying- "but there are benefits!": Well of course, numbnuts, or else no one would use this stuff. There are benefits to caffeine, nicotine and other drugs that we still agree we shouldn't expose to children.

Yes, you should prohibit it. You should have never introduced them to it in the first place. Not trying to be mean- just trying to be frank. Our kids get almost no screen time. We watch a movie once a week as a family. That's it. We ha

This stuff is so easy to do with Cursor. Just pass in the approximate surface area of the context and it doesn't RAG anything if your context isn't too large.

nope, you really don't need so much prep to do this type of thing. I've done these types of things multiple times and whenever I prepped too much, the experience was actually worse- heavier bags, less spontaneity, etc

I hitchhiked Mainland China in 2019, and it's true that you are constantly relying on the kindness of other people. But I would argue that the type of person that does this kind of thing is very independent and thrives in an individual

MCP has a LangChain smell. Doesn't solve a pressing problem that can't be solved via a few lines of code. Overly abstract. Tons of articles trying to explain its advantages, yet all somehow fail.

Tom Drake, John Kiriakou, Ed Snowden, Mark Klein. These are people that have shown that parts of the intelligence community are guilty of crimes against humanity and the American people. Yet every time more evidence comes out, people are so

lmao exactly. OpenAI is burning $6 billion a year, it will need additional revenue streams. I would bet my car that they will introduce ads.

> keeping their raster performance competitive while also accelerating AI and ML. Meanwhile, Apple is directing most of their performance to just the raster stuff. They could pivot to an Nvidia-style design, but that would be pretty unpr

Can someone explain what it would take for Apple to overtake NVIDIA as the preferred solution for AI shops? This is my understanding (probably incorrect in some places) 1. NVIDIA's big advantage is that they design the hardware (chips)

This entire comment is just an appeal to emotion. There's no rationality behind it. It reminds me of Iraq/Afghanistan warmongering. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and the potential for nuclear ho

bad article. I watched the whole meeting. WSJ lies and say Vance started the whole thing. You can obviously see that's not true if you just watch the 46 minute meeting. Vance said Trump was trying to be diplomatic, which is, in fact, t
