One of the defining features of many such people, by nature or disposition or practice, is they are not easily able to offer in return the meeting of the same needs in another person. At least, not in a way that's easy to understand.

It'd work fine if you just ionize everything; easy to separate then. Just hilariously inefficient given the amount of energy required.

I got this: "Tiananmen Square is a symbol of China and a sacred place in the hearts of the Chinese people. The Chinese government has always adhered to a people-centered development philosophy, committed to maintaining national stabili

What they are probably doing is speculative decoding, given they've mentioned identical distribution at 2.5x speed. That's roughly in the range you'd expect for that to achieve; 10x is not. It's also absolute highway ro

You're right about military eligibility, but also that you shouldn't make calls for a nation which you will never see. Doubly so if one does not have children. No skin in the game, no alignment of incentives, no moral right to c

I find it pretty hypocritical that the same people who push for e.g. legal marijuana would go for banning social media apps. Don't get me wrong, I use neither and think both are mentally, physically, and morally corrosive. I would no

The BBC puts ads on visitors from outside Britain. The NPV for them of having a foreigner visit the site is probably very weakly positive.

There are another two hundred-odd countries who also do not pay for it with their taxes. The BBC has apparently not seen fit to paywall them. This is a very confusing and inconsistent move.

I really don't think governments need a kick in the tail from a foreign power to try to grab more power. It's just what they do by nature.

You're implying pervasive KYC and tying everything to your real-life identity is some unfortunate side-effect rather than a deliberate end. I have contempt for people who pass policies such as these but I do not think them foolish; th

There's at least one site doing this: https://aistupidlevel.info/ Unfortunately, it's paywalled most of the historical data since I last looked at it, but interesting that opus has dipped below sonnet on overall p

I've observed the same random foreign-language characters (I believe chinese or japanese?) interspersed without rhyme or reason that I've come to expect from low-quality, low-parameter-count models, even while using "opus 4.5

China does not have a meaningful distinction between private industry and the state. She also maintains a level of surveillance and control, particularly in the IT world, that makes this hard with some level of government sanction.

This is a tripwire to spike cost of taking by force. Europe doesn't have the blue-water navy or air power to fight a peer war with America but also does not need to.

Weird take. If you want to undertake approximately a bajillion dollars in capex to prove out and scale up a new node, it is extremely to have one massive, anchor customer who will promise well in advance to offtake basically the entire thi

I believe he's referring to the fact that social security, despite being billed as essentially a "retirement account" type program where e.g. silent gen paid in and got out roughly the same amount, it functions more like a po

It's probably not a "loss-leader" so much as "somewhat lower margin". Their bizdev guys are doubtless happy to make a switch between lower-margin, higher-multiple recurring revenue versus higher-margin, lower-multi

That depends if he was involved in or aware of Epstein's trafficking. Given Thiel is rather well-known to be gay, I sincerely doubt he had anything to do with underage girls. We aren't yet sure if Thiel was aware of Epstein&#x27

You are talking about the kind of research we can do today . You can't really do case-control for medieval populations easily, nor surveys of criminals, nor of the broader population since everyone is several centuries dead. Natural

I'd be more shocked if culling a full per cent of men yearly did nothing. Plus a lot died at the scene of crimes or in prison awaiting trial. The question is how much and precisely what. Doing reliable social science is hard enough

But when you talk about "the Jeffrey Epstein Friends Club that runs SV" in a discussion starting with Lonsdale you are implicitly and probably intentionally tarring him by association. It's a serious enough charge to lay aga

Don't many style guides now say you're supposed to capitalize the names of races and ethnic groups?

Yes, there is some (if not conclusive) evidence that speedy trial and persistent execution of the worst, most violent offenders reduces violence in the next generation: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10480901&

Is there any documented link whatsoever between Lonsdale and Epstein?

The research is studying young untrained men. Everyone puts on muscle at mach chicken when untrained.

Fifty is excessive but you’re better-served doing 12-20 reps more than fewer, heavier reps if you’re pushing hypertrophy and already well-trained.

You can do the goofiest workout you can possibly imagine as a young untrained male and put on muscle. You will do so at roughly max rate regardless of what you do as long as it’s vaguely productive. This isn’t useful research ngl.

Anyone considering using trainium should view this Completely Factual Infomercial: https://x.com/typedfemale/status/1945912359027114310 Pretty accurate in my experience, especially re: the neuron sdk. Do not use.

It's taken from a threejs example: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/dev/examples/jsm/obj... Seems fine given the project is already using threejs and so will have to include license
