They optimized for what they measured. They measured the wrong thing because it was easier for them. Some of the most important things can't be measured. The future can't actually be pre-computed, the forecast isn't the terra

I love ellipses, it really captures that even when writing Rust documentation my mood is existential and disaffected... like a new grad in the pool, slowly burning under the noon sun on an inflatable lounger, too dazed and decadent to tap e

Plain text is way harder than people think. Partly because the reflow rules change depending if you are making edits in front of or behind the cursor/point of action. On anything structured that doesn't require re-flow this approa

You see this very often, these kinds of things keep escalating and with the destruction of the rule of law and the need to suck up to an executive a country basically becomes a black hole for investors. Every time the chain of evil is allow

The U.S. "executive" class is so obsessed with the "exploit" part of the explore/exploit cycle that it's very clear they are prematurely closing advancement. Better a little money and power for them now than a

I think thats deeply uncharitable and fundementally superficial. I think people (many/most) don't want slaves. Our imaginations just outstrip our abilities and we desire them to match.

I have a UI I developed from first principles about 10 years ago, I use it to replace my os, its like my personal do everything emacs os but not at all emacs, and its funny to see other Uis iteratively convergence on it as context finally g

Chiltepin started growing in our yard thanks to some bird. They are amazing, high heat small dose, I'll just crunch one or two in the morning, the only downside is my spice tolerance is now accidently extremely high.

The real hack is that the events aren't the community, they serve the community, the process of working together to put these types of events on is what builds deep connection. People don't actually get where the deep value lies,

This is entirely about social friction. Blaming the people trained by the smartest people on earth (with population level ad sales and a/b testing) to reject friction until they start to feel it as a poison isn't their fault. We b

I basically did this for a couple years around 33. I was the highest paid IC for a multi billion dollar "digital transformation". I was writing code in 5+ languages, doing hardware retrofits, had r/w access to every system, c

I mean we have all kinds of under synonym'ed words. Just look at how few we have for "smell" (as in the act of smelling), and then how overloaded the word smell even is.

I want a clock partially tied to gps that purely measures my dead reckoning movement along with a universal lock as near as we can tell. A causal wristwatch that purely lets me label my self relative increments. I'd allow cesium oscill

I mean it's a fucking joke, I kept getting refusals on a code base I wasn't familiar with and it was literally just because there are some vars named DNA. Just absolutely stupid.

I am absolutely shocked and freaked out by the number of long lived accounts on this thread that can't detect the fact that this is Ai composed.

I had a file that had a couple places where vars were named DNA and got just total refusals during the first launch. Came away thinking the model was total trash. The guardrail classifiers are for sure total trash.

Some random thoughts: It is very odd, I do more deep reading then ever before but its curated through llms. I do the exploration then the dive on papers. Many novels we love were released as serials. I haven't gotten stuck trying to un

I think that's a generally fair statement. I understand its historically pretty common to see a theology to law pipeline.

How else do you propose a system that is fucked like that ever gets unfucked?

I have one area of my education that I highly value but its very hard to explain without people importing a lot of assumptions. I like to call it critical listening but also its textual evaluation. In addition to some didactic instruction m

Discovery, which was hard for so long, is now hard again. No longer because communication and transmission is expensive but because it is so cheap.

Combine the two generals game with the implications of value based pricing. Catastrophic unaffordability is a guarantee.

Whoever wrote this, I find them incredibly unsympathetic. Some people have the desire to gamble their lives away, to take on extreme amounts of debt and then die in despair. Same goes for alcoholism. Same goes for ponzi schemes. We don&#x27

Yeah, I think this is a bad take on the part of the EFF. The full dataset will be in private hands and available everywhere to everyone to do anything the moment this goes live. I protect data for a living, cost asymmetry and proof of work

A collection of thoughts on this. Pierces Firstness is exactly what drives this. The move from thinking to semantic conversion is important for investigation/introspection. Arguing with yourself also seems to engage your brains "t

Consciousness is a fuzzy word and I would call it a joke if it wasn't actually dangerous currently. And currently its widespread usage in how people relate to and talk about Ai is actively harmful. And dont get me started on how terrib
