This essay is unfortunate because he isn't addressing the true misunderstanding of politicians like AOC, he's not explaining the consumer surplus (why the world gained 50x more from Google than the founders), and he's not exp

$5-10T of the US economy already operates under ITAR or EAR export restrictions, there is nothing novel about this order. Aerospace, defense, semiconductors, telecom, advanced manufacturing equipment, etc SpaceX entire operation is under IT

The Snowden disclosures revealed that the US was regularly spying on Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, the EU, and the UN. Also of course the CIA was spying on Congress. One can only imagine that many of the

Even as a SpaceX shareholder I have to say this the right decision, and it's what a person would expect. NASDAQ has an incentive to offer early entry into the index (they want SpaceX to list on their exchange), whereas S&P has no i

Very well done. I lived in Japan for years, love Japan deeply, and this essay rang true in many ways. Two thoughts: - Japanese management style and processes are probably fruitful ground for understanding how teams of agents should work. H-

Historical scandals are finally coming to light now that the AI issue has raised awareness: - Ernest Hemingway trained his own neurons on Tolstoy, Twain, and Turgenev without ever paying them royalties! - William Faulkner trained his neuron

Deleting data like that is a crime investigated by the FBI. In a very sad story, a brilliant former coworker made a mistake of deleting data after leaving employment and ended up in prison. Brilliant guy, momentary mistake. Overzealous empl

Mythos. It's all about Mythos. Once they realized that DoW had locked themselves out of Mythos because of their beef with Anthropic, Trump invited Anthropic to the White House, and in that meeting they convinced Trump that Mythos is a

I'm working on some serious data analysis + realtime async code, and I use 200-400 million tokens a day with Claude Code alone (via ccusage). The complexity of the code seems to have a big impact on the number of tokens used. On simple

It's easy to see how this will play out. The entrepreneurs will get nothing. Most likely everyone else that has been paid (investors, etc) will keep what they received. Whether Meta or the CCP ends up with the proceeds of the entrepren

I'm definitely curious to see what happens My guess is that most report quarterly, my question is what they report. But we will see.
