leftist != Liberal. And the EU leftists aren't liberal in any real way. That's why terms like left and right don't mean anything outside of a specific place and time and even then, its just shorthand. If they were liberal,

"I’m not sure why the level of discussion in this post is so poor." Its because bond yields and fixed income in general isn't well understood by the public. Even in finance, its often not correctly understood except by those

You are misunderstanding some basic things about bonds. Bonds are weird. Higher yield means the bond gives out more coupons (yield, money, etc). But the bond itself costs exactly the same no matter the yield when first bought. The actual

The irony of this post is truly off the scale. The term socialism wasn't defined by Marx. That's the heart of why you don't understand the definition of that word. There are a half dozen different branches with different de

The Chinese themselves blew up one of their own satellites as a test of their own capabilities. The missile was launched from the ground but targeted from orbit. They themselves say this and have since they did it 8 years ago. Your ignor

The Chinese have been bragging about taking out one of their own satellites in a test of their capabilities for 8 years now. Russia would but they don't have the money to even try. This place is no better than X...seriously...it is ju

Tell me you don't understand deterrence without telling me you don't understand deterrence. Without nuclear weapons, WWIII happens in 1962. People that call it "an unresolved issue" are far more likely to cause warfare

So China has learned that their army and leadership needs to live underground for the duration of the war and only come out if they are in a crowd of civilians? They learned that their AA doesn't work against the US? Not sure what sp

True, this is just a much bigger one with a vastly larger amounts of hardware.

There is no NS proof here. Its just a counter example. There is another team working on a proof but they aren't associated with OpenAI.

The OpenAI team didn't make a Lean proof. They brute forced a counter example. The "other" team was doing what you described but they haven't "finished" their work yet. Also, their Lean proof was for a simpl

The researchers were driving prompts and trying to actually do math. The OpenAI effort was a pure brute force attempt. I'm not even sure an LLM was actually involved. I think they just used their hardware to run the matrix multiplies

This is the most perverse marketing campaign in history. "Our product might wipe out all of human civilization". It is said that heavily regulated industries earn that regulation. Seems like the LLM folks really want that regulat

"They are entities that have a civic purpose, not for profit." If they had a true civic purpose, they would call themselves charities. The specific reason they don't is because an audit of their spending wouldn't meet t

"So everyone (even non-union workers) gets higher pay because of unions." The median per capita GDP numbers say otherwise. I have watched Europe get noticeably poorer in my lifetime. Even the tourists can see it.

The people you are describing are not liberal. They are progressive which is very much anti-liberal. This is why terms like left and right are so loaded. You can have people who do not agree on almost anything being lumped together. For

Please remember that NGOs are not charities. And the entire point of an NGO is to get around restrictions on what governments can do. I think most of the grips about NGOs comes from the selling of NGOs as charities which they very much ar

I doubt most people have put that much thought into it. However, a $100M a year for a website with an amount of traffic that isn't absurd, pages which are largely static, and doesn't have to secure financial transactions, seems a

20 years ago, this wasn't the case (at least in tech in SV). If you are seeing this today, its because of something (or somethings) specific. Could be the general increase in size of the companies or industry, a problem with recruiti

I went to a similar school. It depended on major. If it was a major that the school was known for, say the top ranked CS school...then it was 100% that a grad was someone who was noticeably much, much smarter than most people. If they we

Government systems leak information all the time. The type of institution managing the data makes little difference. Its how the institution manages the data that matters.

I grew up on a farm about 100 miles from where this guy lived. I have never heard of him until now. The type of farming he did wasn't used on working farms since before he (1930s) was born. And there aren't any working farms al

I have yet to see such research. I've seen research that says the exact opposite. The devs I see making such pronouncements usually aren't exactly the top devs on their teams. Seems like the result of the double burden to me.

Counterpoint. The US has a higher birth rate than any country in Europe. Many of which have your parental-leave policies. BTW, there is absolutely no correlation between governmental policies and birth rate. You can't bully people

"Cities, when done correctly, are a better place to raise a family" The birth rates say otherwise. Cities universally have very very low rates of childbirth. So low that they usually have to depend on a constant inflow from rura
