The existing org chart is the biggest barrier to AI productivity improvements, because tasks/responsibilities and departmental boundaries are set up for the old way to get things done. This is why adding AI to an existing org chart res

Imagine "the establishment" taken over by the worst people as you define it. Perhaps Trump and all the Trump associates you dislike most. Steve Bannon, you name it, the worst people you can think of. Would you call them elites?

So “establishment” means incumbents? So incumbents are the “elite”? That’s what you’re saying, which is absurd, but what you’re really thinking is that your people are better than other people I know is not a deliberate motte-and-bailey, it

I can only presume that you properly are using quotes to mock the word "elite", and not because you're quoting Trump? Because I really dont think he uses that framing

There's nothing "elite" about the characters that populate the swamp, or the deep state, not in any sense of the word

As definitions go, thats well constructed and easy to reason about. But that isn't how the word is used by the media. Mamdani and Trump are both described as populists, but resistance to elites is hardly in their platform. Trump would

Right, people can make bad choices, but still how is that different from democracy? Maybe you're saying it means democracy-when-it-doesnt-select-"elites"?

Whats the difference between populism and democracy? Seems like the definition is "when people dont vote the way I like". For example I worry about socialist populism, which is subjective at best or (more practically) just judgeme

If you’re curious, this is a demo/experiment. The long term goal is tunnels so inexpensive that they can go 30 levels deep, letting us travel within cities at 200kph with no stop signs (even eliminate automobiles from the surface of ci

Exactly, it’s much easier with a new organization. In my previous company, we would speculate about where to use AI and we were never sure. In the new company we use AI for everything and produce more with substantially fewer people

Superb article and insight. Once you see legibility, it explains so many seeming (and actual) dysfunctions. Coordination at scale is the reason, not just enterprise deals (although enterprise deals are a sub case of coordination). Alignment

All of these resignations were submitted before February 12. The resigning employees have been collecting payroll until today, but they resigned long ago Flagged as misleading/inflammatory. Most of the comments here are probably bots.

Easy solution - put quotes around “elites”. Or use the accurate term: elitists The people popularly referred to as “elites” are in practice status seekers who adhere to elitism, the belief that certain people are superior to others. Using

Datacenters need to provide their own power/storage, and connect to the grid just to trade excess energy or provide grid stability. Given the 5-7 year backlog of photovoltaic projects waiting for interconnect, the grid is kind of a din

Little known fact: Starlink should be a pure orbital internet backbone to communicate anywhere in the world, right? Because of the laser links between satellites? Not so much. All the traffic from the US must transit through an earthbound s

That’s exactly how it works, read up on pruning. You can ignore most of the weights and still get great results. One issue is that sparse matrices are vastly less efficient to multiply. But yes you’ve got it
