Most ongoing social trends in the United States can be traced back to this. When foreigners are puzzled and ask me why is X or Y happening in America, this is usually the best answer. The majority of young people, but not the majority of th

Money itself amounts to a lot. At $250M you're already able to influence elections. So we might expect American politics for the rest of the 2020s to be broadly accelerationist and pro Big Token, even more so than it is currently. SV b

LLMs need documentation for semantic instructions and testing for formal verification. In the past efficient human teams could forego both of these and rely on tacit understanding. But this does not exist with LLMs so we will continue to se

The future is that articles will generally be read by machine intelligences more often than human ones. You have to optimize for your audience.

It's getting cheaper and cheaper to generate corpora by the day, and Agda has the advantage of being verifiable like Lean. So you can simulate large amounts of programs and feed these back into the model. I think this is a major reason

I tell you in good faith: the chaotic response would have been to not notice, not disclose, not fix, and then go to the press claiming everything is fine, and accusing anyone saying otherwise of having a nefarious agenda.

It's pretty clear to me that every member Big Token is converging on practically identical models and they're now just competing on compute efficiency based on their particular capital situation. So in the short-term products like

To put it simply, the BEAM lets you swallow all of your dependent services into a consistent API, no matter network distance or machine dependability. In Python it feels like my main thread, DB, job queue, and OS are all speaking different

The general character of capital markets is to pay as little as possible. Otherwise you lose out to those who are more ruthless. It is plausible that Windsurf employees really are getting very little value for their work. We need to see det

The general principle of aircraft control is that the pilot has the final say on how it is operated, not the designer, because you never know when you will need to take extraordinary measures. And the pilot generally prefers to return to th
