It is still worse than this. The largest amount of the money is in the unfunded liabilities for social security and healthcare over the next 50 years. It is hard to even know what it is, 60, 70, 80 trillion? Younger people will end up both

I don't know what you think is going to happen if we don't get spending under control. It is beyond me how younger people especially are not rioting in the streets with the amount of money that the government has been spending.

Funny that I know quite a few baby boomers and every single one has a pension, a 401k, maybe a roth AND gets social security and medicare. Not a single one has a college degree. All life long factory workers. Some alcoholics. All they did w

I can't really think of something that involves learning that these tools wouldn't be helpful with. Some people talk though as if the books on my bookshelf spontaneously combust if a language model helps me with anything. Not to m

I would say the early web was something new everyday. You didn't know what you were going to find and you actually did "surf the web". Just clicking through hyperlinks and end up in unexpected places.

I think DeekThink is something different though. It is able to figure out some things that I know do not have much training data at all. It is looking at the manual and figuring things out. "That doesn't make sense. Wait, that can

It is so boring at this point. If you want to learn about Tiananmen Square then try reading the book Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China by Ezra F. Vogel and Eric Jason Martin. Amazing book. Of course, I imagine the people asking

I have ADHD too but I have also over prepared for interviews in the past to try to not have anxiety. I just ended up sounding like someone reading a prepared answer because I kind of was. The last two jobs I got, I didn't prepare at al

Banking already has been disrupted too. It is so easy to move money around now there is no reason to keep that much in savings. It is crazy how easy it is to move money from a savings account to a brokerage account and buy a tbill in 2025 v

This is because of counter party risk with settlement. It is not hard to figure out. You just have no idea what you are talking about.

No one in America really has the right to speak about a society at 200% inflation. People couldn't even deal with 9% here. There is no point in saving money at all with 200% inflation. It is completely alien concept and unimaginable to

"wait" I suspect we are all in a bit of denial. When was the last time the US got their lunch ate in technology? Sputnik might be a bit hyperbolic but after using the model all day and as someone who had been thinking of a pro sub

Meanwhile, Huawei Harmony just embedded the digital yuan at the system level. All the ETFs mean is that it will be so much easier to get out of the position and cause even bigger cascades of selling than before when the next shock happens.

The worst part is I don't even know video games at all but just assumed someone else was playing for him when I first heard this. All I know about video games is people play them 24/7. It was completely obvious to me he wasn'

I think it is because we conflate the current Chinese system with the old Mao/Soviet Union system because all call themselves "communist". The vast majority are completely ignorant of what Socialism with Chinese characteristi

I never tried the $200 a month subscription but it just solved a problem for me that neither o1 or claude was able to solve and did it for free. I like everything about it better. All I can think is "Wait, this is completely insane!&qu

I just tried DeepSeek for the first time and immediately canceled my OpenAI subscription. Seeing the chain of thought is now just mandatory for me after one prompt. That is absolutely incredible in terms of my own understanding of the quest

My understanding of the problems with high speed rail in the US is more fundamental than money. The problem is loose vs strong property rights. We don't have the political will in the US to use eminent domain like we did to build the i

As a super straight CIS guy who worships Wendy Carlos and Selofan, I wish I could join too. I am sure ya'll talk about the coolest things. It just makes me sad how before the internet there really were not these barriers. The "fre

I have been a musician at this point for 35+ years. The quote from the Suno CEO is beyond absurd. I have spent quite a number of hours with MusicLM in AI test kitchen. To me, that is actually a new form of music synthesis. Synthesis in the

The biggest thing I have read is to be able to take several readings and take an average. That pretty much means you have to get something for home but they cost almost nothing and they are the most obvious thing to purchase with a FSA&#x2F

This is all nonsense. People don't want to watch two chess computers play even if they can both smoke Magnus Carlsen. Art is an even more extreme version of this. Part of what makes a Dali painting a Dali painting is the mimetic desire

I think it really depends how much improvement we get in AI from here. I work at a small business and understand the entire system as a whole. Most the complexity we have is in the UI so non-technical people can interact and work with compa

This all is the most minor aspect of Trattato di Sociologia Generale. Treatise on General Sociology, the translation is the 4 volume The Mind and Society. The whole point is that we have these arbitrary subject divisions of knowledge for co

I am almost 50 and I have never booked a reservation for a restaurant in my entire life. The Rome trip is even more absurd. Part of the fun of a trip is figuring out what you want to do. This seems like a product aimed at the delusional, se

Maybe not next year but it reminds me of 30 years ago when my grandfather found it offensive any American would buy a Toyota. While it is hard to predict the future, a good bet is that global trade will win out in the end on a long time fra

Right now it seems more and more like we will all just end up using Chinese AI. All this regulation is doing is forcing Chinese companies to figure out how to do more with less. Who cares if Chinese AGI is a year behind OpenAI/Anthropi

Each addiction has its own special properties. The special properties of the addiction are what make it hard for the person to quit that is addicted. These type of comparisons for social media seem like bargaining by the social media addict

2015 though is word vectors King – Man + Woman = Queen. 10 years on from that I don't think what we have now is so shocking. The main problem is this waive of the hand "..and then AGI". Who knows, maybe we even find AGI is no

What also gets left out of this is the wage equilibrium of millions of out of work humans undercutting robots for factory work. It is hardly impossible there are remote white color workers at 30 right now who have to get a 6am-3pm/3pm-
