One reason could be to correct uncalibrated markets. This only works if your intuition is better than the market's current intuition. If a big whale with a big idea makes a big splash, you can profit off of the instability by gently be

The argument isn’t about whether prediction markets can stay well-calibrated. The argument is that prediction markets incentivize insider trading and backroom power brokership. The “potential energy” behind surprise upsets is most profitabl

Most people just discount man pages as unreadable and don’t even try to understand them. Case in point: the jq man page is incredible and everyone I know instead runs off to google or stackoverflow or Claude to answer simple questions

wait, SVD / zeroing out the first principal component is an unsupervised technique. The earlier difference-of-means technique relies on the knowledge of which outputs are refusals and which aren’t. How would SVD be able to accomplish t

jailbreaks are holistic, it’s not like you’re deprogramming / “countering” individual parts. Nobody creating jailbreaks “understand what they’re doing”

sometimes singular semantic concepts can take multiple syntactic words to express. Why not call this idea something other than “word”?

It's absolutely worth taking the time to learn `jj`, for example, but `jj`'s ideas build on top of `git`'s ideas. If you don't know why it's important that commits reference their parents, for example, that's l

Lately I’ve been trying to develop this discernment skill by filing issues on vibe-coded projects, which requires taking a deep look into them and questioning their premise. For example, there’s a tensor serialization called Tenso (71 stars

This confused me too but the formula and rules for variants are specified by the configured language out-of-band, so there is support for this. Let's take your example. In English, counting files looks like this: You have {file_c

The idea that AGI will care to fix this, or that the US government will allow an AGI who wants to fix this to exist, feels a little like escapism to me.

I think I weakly disagree. Poker players have intuitive sense of the statistics of various hand types showing up, for instance, and that can be a useful clue as to which build types are promising.

The OP is talking about the `jj workspace create` command, which creates a separate working copy backed by the same repository. It’s not a bad way to work with multiple agents, but you do have to learn what to do about workspace divergence.
