The paper you linked is topically - and perhaps a bit ironically - co-authored with an Israel funded thinktank. I'd think it's safe to say there's a lot more pro-zionist than anti-zionist funding in US academia. https:/

Especially as even being baselessly accused of antisemitism carries very real chance for ruining careers and reputations.

The resistors to your local store have to go through logistics as well. And doing the last mile yourself is a lot more inefficient than a post service doing it. Transport is also quite small fraction of most products' environmental cos

Ghostty seems to support a subset of the xterm protocol. Sure, a bit more advanced than VT100, but still it still is, as the ghostty dev puts it, "very often touted as the gold standard for historical terminal behavior." https:&#

Language capability is a bit difficult to quantify, but LLMs know tens of languages, and many of those better than at least the vast majority of even native humans at least grammar- and vocabulary-wise. They also encode magnitudes more fact

Seems quite comprehensive. I wonder if there’s a way to “escape” from the system. It looks nice for getting started but in practice at some point you’ll want programmatic access for e.g. advanced API features. E.g. a well behaving system in

Note that what you claim is not a fact, but a (highly controversial) philosophical position. Some notable such "non-computationalist" views are e.g. Searle's biological naturalism, Penrose's non-algorithmic view (already

About everything can be modelled with large enough Markov Chain, but I'd say stateless autoregressive models like LLMs are a lot easier analyzed as Markov Chains than recurrent systems with very complex internal states like humans.

When visiting US I feel very weird about baggers. Bagging stuff is something I can easily do myself while the cashier scans the products. Now instead of doing something useful, I just stand there idle and awkward watching the staff working.

There are also centrist doctrines. Even explicit ones like the radical centrism. A major problem is trying to project a hugely multifaceted phenomenon like political outlook into one, or even few, dimensions. And then even discretizing the

It's the technocratic or perhaps "enlightened centrist" tribe. There's similar vibe in the post, and even though there's some introspection about the author's own tribe, he doesn't seem to question whether

You're right, I should have talked about the Overton window more generally. But public usage of terminology is part of moving/spreading the window. It's quite apparent in the US discourse when very moderate politicians like U

This is (deliberate) moving of the Overton window. The Guardian was e.g. heavily against Jeremy Corbyn and was actively involved in purging the left wing of Labour. Left-wing/far-left in UK is something like the Morning Star.
