The people won't have any understanding at all if they can't access Wikipedia. At this point radio astronomy has got to be hitting the long tail of scientific achievement. Unless someone can demonstrate otherwise, I'd be more

I imagine it depends more on how far their space guns can reach.

It says right on the Chrome page that your extension handles my PII and has access to the content of websites I visit. Isn't that basically unlimited power? How do you intend to monetize this? If there's no credit card required to

Wow I've wanted something like this for a very long time. Where's the source code? As much as I loathe politics, putting Raymond Hill level trust in a stranger is something that has to be earned. AI is already black box enough as

I've been using Safari on occasion for the past year because it starts up faster. I was too lazy to figure out how to install an ad blocker there and the strangest thing happened. I saw an ad many months later and realized I couldn&#x2

I doubt there's going to be any such scandals, unless someone creates them. What's going to happen is LLM generated content is going to become so good so fast that you won't want to consume content created by people anymore,

That's what sites like GitHub and Twitter already do. When I push to GitHub it's signed by me. When I tweet about something I did, that's a signature too. Would you like to be bold courageous one who writes a browser extensio

You don't understand anything about reality. For all you know, you're living in Plato's cave. What you kind of know, is just text you read from a physics book. The things your eyes see, could just as easily be encoded as toke

We've written all 1600 lines of C that are needed for training and inference of software 2.0. Time to write an IDE for developers 2.0 (dataset labelers) and then lay down and die.

You might not realize this on a conscious level, but the reason you're reluctant to tell your friends about your parents is because they'll assume you're a bad person too, due to how you inherited their codebase. If my parent

Guido is the community. He's the one with the most legitimacy to represent it. To imply that Guido is something separate and divorced from the community is textbook subversion. I can't imagine any reason that others leaders in the

There's an online community for Cosmopolitan C on places like Discord. Everyone who's there, is there because I welcome them and want them to be there. The code of conduct is you have to behave like Mr. Rogers. There's no sex

It's especially illuminating when a man his age does it. When he says he's never seen an organization this dysfunctional, that's got to count for something. I mean I was crawling up the walls at Google in 2015 around the time

Law and money are both old world concepts. I care about code and attention. I also believe in respecting other people. Law was invented to formalize deeper concepts like respect. Just because the law is broken, doesn't mean it's o

I support Wikipedia. They do great work. AI systems can be complementary, because they've always been a raw source of information that requires your own research. People trust writers and bloggers to do that for them, and they trust Wi

If by truth you mean facts, then most news is factual. Non-facts are easy to disprove. News is about glomming beliefs and emotion onto facts, similar to how advertisements get attached to web pages. If you're looking for truth, look to

You're attacking a strawman. Authorship data like git commit history is about telling the story of how people brought a thing into existence. The journey can matter as much as the destination. Will AI be able to move forward on its own

That sounds like a cool research project. However I think it would be enough to simply (1) not erase authorship data, and (2) not fine-tune and monitor LLMs to suppress outputs that mention people. It's an emergent property that they c

News isn't just biased. Modern technology gives us the power to get news from the source. In the past, a reporter would report on something that happened to a person. Today, that person can just post what happened to them on Twitter. W

That's like saying Shakespeare shouldn't be credited for Romeo and Juliet because he's not the first guy to have written a love story and it's impossible to disentangle his ideas from that of Elizabethan culture. It&#x27

News is a narcotic that, like ads and social media, preys on human weakness. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the purveyors of news would partner with purveyors of ads, similar to how casinos like to partner with alcohol and tobacco c

Convenience is the kind of thing a man values when he isn't pushing against any fundamental limits imposed by the universe. You have to work on computing frontiers like LLMs where people are feeling a performance crunch. Measuring thin
