Nice! I like seeing the vanilla JS. Clean and simple. I don't think that vanilla JS is always the best approach, but I think that for this case it certainly is.

I think it's Darwinian logic in action. In most areas of software, perfection or near-perfection are not required, and as a result software creators are more likely to make money if they ship something that is 80% perfect now than if t

No, he called some Mexican migrants into the US rapists. Trump has done plenty of real things that are worthy of criticism. Calling Mexicans in general rapists is not something he did.

Models can't do that now, though. If they could, pretty much every human software engineer would be unemployed right now.

To be fair to the OP of the thread, he's just using Patel's title word-for-word. It's Patel who is being inaccurate.

Him saying that it will take a decade to work through agents' issues isn't the same as him saying that there will be AGI in a decade, though

If your countrymen want to use Uber, Air B&B, Oracle, and Facebook, should you try to stop them from doing it, even if you personally dislike those companies? You are making the same argument that Trump is making with the tariffs. Perso

If the transcript is accurate, Karpathy does not actually ever, in this interview, say that AGI is a decade away, or make any concrete claims about how far away AGI is. Patel's title is misleading.

I question Thomas Paine's liberal cred given that he supported confiscation of Loyalists' properties.

I'm already somewhat concerned. I've been concerned since long before Trump. And Trump has added some new concerns. For example, with that strike against the Venezualan boat today. But that doesn't mean that I believe that we

I disagree with what has been done in the Mahmoud Khalil matter. But it is a far distance between that on the one hand and what happens in places like Russia on the other. I'm not trying to minimize the dangers of Trump. My point is th

Yes, but ICE is not deporting, denaturalizing, or imprisoning US citizens for their political opinions, and I would have very little to no fear about going to Washington DC right now, standing up on a podium, and yelling that Trump sucks wh

I'm against extrajudicial deportations to El Salvador, but those people are not being deported for their political opinions. As for trans/LGBTQ+ genocide, it does not exist in the West.

I think it's pretty easy to tell the difference. Just imagine the difference in the level of fear that you would feel about 1) getting up in a public square in the US and yelling that Trump is a terrible person who should be removed fr

The premise of the article might just be nonsense. How many rationalists are there in the world? Of course it depends on what you mean by rationalist, but I'd guess that there are probably several tens of thousands, at very least, peop

I mean, I personally find the idea of rolling back women's rights to be repellent, but arguments should not be judged based on whether or not the author feels compelled to make them anonymously. In history, there have been plenty of tr

Not only does South Korea have a huge technology advantage over North Korea, but South Korea could also easily build nuclear weapons if it wanted to. It would probably not be at risk of losing a war to North Korea even if its population dro

Russia has been putting a lot of government effort into increasing the fertility rate for years now and it's still below replacement. Granted, the modern Russian government is incompetent in many ways so maybe that is not a good exampl

I've only seen it in photos, but to me it looks like the kind of place where a dystopian military dictatorship tortures its political prisoners. Or maybe like one of the army base levels from the original Quake, with its blocky polygon

It is true that Musk endorsed a post which said that Jewish communities have been endorsing anti-white hatred. There is no doubt that one can easily find many individual Jews, and even groups of Jews, who have endorsed anti-white hatred. Ho

I do not know how well X is doing as a business, but Musk buying Twitter has certainly helped to wrest it out of the hands of the left and to shift the Overton window. It could well be that to Musk, the political impact is well worth billio

That is a good point. And yeah, I agree with you. I think the chance of it being censorship is like 1-2%, chance of pure technical failure more like 98%-99%. I should have made that more clear in my OP. Even if the Reddit admins were inclin

A lot of this article smells like bullshit to me, but anecdotally speaking, I do think that there is something very wrong with the US food system. I was in Russia a few years ago and I remember that basically all the food I ate at my relati

It also blows my mind that that, even though DNA seems to just code for proteins and does not store a schematic for a brain in any way that we've been able to decipher so far, human eggs pretty reliably end up growing into people who 9
