I have tried a lot of different LLMs and Gemma3:27b on a 48gb+ Macbook is probably the best for analyzing diaries and personal stuff you don't want to share with the cloud. The China models are comically bad with life advice. For exa

You take public transit and some person who's been to prison many times for violent crimes decides to murder you with a pocket knife for no reason, like Iryna Zarutska, is why we don't have dense walkable urban cities. It's

Yeah, they never said this. This article smells like anti-Elon FUD. "Elon is a dummy, everything he tries will fail, replace him with someone who isn't so controversial and supports the proper politics for a powerful global figu

Can you do fractional reserve banking with stablecoins where you lend out the underlying dollars to people and don't have full reserves? That's what makes banking tricky. When there are a surge of loan defaults across the banking

This is a great article. I've been in for surgery a few times, and I always cry before it because I never know what could happen. I could wind up dead, paralyzed, in chronic pain, a vegetable. Then I think to myself how unspecial I am

I am a huge procrastinator, so I have to do some elaborate stuff to get myself to do things. Anxiety producing methods don't work very well because I just feel overwhelmed and that doesn't help things. The best technique I'

I think one unprecedented thing about how China operates is every single company is like a private military contractor with letters of marque and reprisal to do whatever the heck they feel like in the name of CCP world dominance. As long a

LLMs are already hard to interpret as it is. Why not just have some minimal linux so at least someone with a linux background can observe and easily make sense of its actions? If we make an unfamiliar opaque virtual machine, it's lik

Yup, and George Soros does actually funds pro-wind groups. Open Society Foundation gives $400 million over 8 years to green economic development. That said, I think that's a bullshit argument for not supporting wind, and I'd muc

I think the cognitive dissonance works like this. "All the people I believe to be smart and trustworthy and nice say that Elon Musk is wrong to disagree with them." Elon Musk does something smart. "No, Elon Musk did not do so

Whatever the problem with health care in America is, the solution is not more money. We already spend double what all other countries spend as a percent of GDP and we have worse outcomes. There are a lot of similar mysteries in America. Fo

I agree. I have found GPT-5 significantly worse on medical queries. It feels like it skips important details and is much worse than o3, IMHO. I have heard good things about GPT-5 Pro, but that's not cheap. I wonder if part of the degra

What if we get AGI, but it's too expensive, and you can't build power plants because the green lobby? Plot twist: AGI arrives and despises environmentalist. Seriously, that wasn't how it was supposed to go according to the

If they want their assets, they will have to use U.S courts to get them and U.S courts will refuse to enforce British law that violates the first amendment. It's pretty simple actually. If they had assets in Britain, then they could

ASI would see that we are super energy efficient. Way more efficient than robots. We run on 70 cents of electricity a day! We'd be perfect for living in deep space if we could just eat electricity. In those niches, we'd be pe

I like to point out that ASI will allow us to do superhuman stuff that was previously beyond all human capability. For example, one of the tasks we could put ASI to work doing is to ask it to design implants that would go into the legs that

One of the interesting things I realize when I meet occult practitioners of the Hermeticist varieties is they refuse to acknowledge they are a religion and what they believe is only as true as any other religion. Like one adherent told me
