It's a very minor thing in the face of the idiotic insanity going around, but I just saw and was annoyed by Altman's twitter bio: "AI is cool i guess". Is this like some kind of ironic detachment? It almost makes you lon

I don't think Bernie fits here. You can disagree with him, but he basically makes political / policy comments (the same ones he's made for decades too. AOC falls a bit into the twitter-feud commentary, but Musk and Trump are

We should know where our tax money is going. As far as I can tell, the alleged fraud that Musk has been tweeting about was already public info. The viral tweets about Politico, etc, were showing screenshots of public dashboards. The one pla

Is there some standard markup assumed for LLMs? I just looked at a couple and saw markdown-like text (which I expected), but also "$\boxed{foo}$". Looks like LaTeX, but is there some subset of LaTeX LLMs are assumed to know/u

I'd rather my tax dollars go to Iraqi Seasame Streeet than to Musk's private companies.

I'd like to see a a press conference: "Question for JD Vance - can you look at your Indian wife and children and then say a guy posting 'Normalize Indian hate' is not a 'bad dude'"?

You picked one of his posts. The one that has gotten the most attention is "Normalize Indian hate".

Maybe they are referring to the fact that the Mexica came from elsewhere and founded the city and there were already other people/cities in the area. It seems the Valley of Mexico has been inhabited since around 12,000BC, so not surpri

I'm reading a book about the Aztecs now (Fifth Sun). The meeting of the Spanish with the Mexica has to be the most epic event in human history. Tragic what was lost. Kudos to the artist for this.

Yeah, I guess that's what he meant. In my mind, though, good "engineering" would also include good design, simplicity, etc.

This was one of the few that didn't resonate. What does it mean?

This is all less-than-peanuts when compared to Trump's tax plan released today: $5-$11 trillion over ten years. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/trump-tax-priorities-total-5-11-t...

I think you need AI to generate a video of a Gen-Z person talking about each, holding a little microphone. The paper could be the green-screened background.

This looks cool, nice job. Maybe add a color-legend to the front page? I didn't know what the colors represented at first. It's kind of choking on a larger db (3.6GB, 942719 pages) - maybe you can paginate the pages.

So what happens when GitHub's auto-SWE is good enough to take on "Write me a GitHub clone, but with additional features X,Y, and Z"? Will they have regret it? I know this is slightly far-fetched and AI-coders are coming rega

From the description: I have one "Intro to LLMs" video already from ~year ago, but that is just a re-recording of a random talk, so I wanted to loop around and do a lot more comprehensive version. I think he has videos on

I don't know if China is fucked, but this reminded me of a map going around showing who in Latin America is trading more with: US or China [1]. In 2000, for everyone, it was the US. By 2023, for most it was China. And one of the only h

I don't think it's hard to argue with "He is doing what he said he would do". He said on day one he'd lower grocery prices. He said he had nothing to do with Project 2025 and on day one he signed a stack of executi

Do pro-bitcoin people still talk about goals of bitcoin being a currency that people use daily? I don't follow it closely, but that idea seems to have faded and now it's just an asset to buy and hold while it magically goes up for

Does anyone see were the raw data is downloaded? I see this [1], but looks like it might just be the list of ISBNs and not the titles. I suppose following the build instructions for this page [2] would do it, but rather not install these js

Well, we'll see what the courts do - and maybe more importantly - what the people on the street do when/if it starts affecting their lives. I'm not a legal scholar, but I'm going to guess that saying "congress appro

I really don't think "Trump can't do it, if it's illegal" is going to fly this time. I hope so, but I'm not very confident. Of course, he can't get away with too much alone, but with the right appointees,

So some guys are sitting around managing a dam and the President just calls and tells them to open it up? So, he can say he made some water flow in California? What?? Everyone in this chain of command should be fired and Trump should get th
