Then no lobbying against the politicians would be needed to be done. It’s easy to reduce it to party lines, but that kind of thinking is just wrong. Details matters. Is there a word for reducing it to something abstract and then attacking t

Well put. I haven’t thought about it like that.

Yes, if you see the LLM as a compressed dictionary of all available information. But if they succeed with agentic reasoning models (we are absolutly not there yet) then I think meritocracy will be replaced with assetocracy. The better the m

I correct my kids when they do mistakes, how else would they improve? Calling people racist when they try to be helpful might say more about you than them. I mean what I say and say what I mean is also something worth striving for.

The Budapest Memorandum (1994) gave assurances, that the U.S. would militarily intervene or defend Ukraine under attack like an alliance-treaty. Ukraine surrendered the sharpest tool in its arsenal for those assurances, its inherited nuclea

US needs China to have something for us to rally against, otherwise focus might be on the asset owners vs workers, which would cripple us. We need to win the AI race! The implication being that there can not be more than one winner…

Might sound cliche but it might shape you to become a responsible person from pure pressure. If you are jumping around from project to project, odds are that lack of commitment stems from lack of pressure. No one wants pressure though… it’s

They have the eight highest MEDIAN wealth per capita, USA is in place 15th. 42 homicides year 2021, so an extremely safe country too. Calling people too dumb to handle democracy sounds a tad facist. They are literally in top 10. I can tell

The media have been shouting the high salaries and IQ of programmers for nearly three decades, it was bound to satiate the market one day, with or without AI. Add to that the addictive nature of programming…

Well, in this era Im not entirely sure the quality aspect is even considered. CEO wants AI? Then he will get it, so that the next earnings call can be bombastic! Saving zero dollars and making the product worse is not important, only that t

In theory everything will work fine, with models being sent to Apple as weights. In practice, Gemini will probably be a huge service with a lot of Google consultants doing remote work in Apples cloud… with debug info being sent directly to

Wow, know you make me curious about the business processes at Microsoft. Did they see that they would earn more money if the interpreter had a 5x speedup, that they wouldn’t see with 1.5x? Or was it trust broken?

Here is another study, as early as 2008 that shows similar results: Objective: We sought to determine the prevalence of PA among Israeli and UK Jewish children and evaluate the relationship of PA to infant and maternal peanut consumption h

You are criticising them for their lack of CVEs? And to top it off you add Microsoft into your mentions, that just had a disastrous security bug, that was just mind blowing? I get what you are saying but the FANG evangelism gotta stop. They

I hear quite a lot of these stories from my parents. Are these kind of personality shifting diseases, like Alzheimers becoming more common? And if so, is it because we take better care of our hearts and don’t die as early as?

It will be funny if it isn’t social engineering. But if we find it drifts further and further from the truth in cases of biases in news articles, image generation and others we will find ourselves bombarded with historical deviances where e

Brexit was an awful thing, BUT it will increase democracy for both parties. EU needs to be made more democratic or we need to severely limit its power, as its original intent, because the current show is just a farce.
