I wouldn't go that far. But as we've seen repeatedly, people who have enough qualms with how these labs operate just leave. And the people who stay behind and rise through the ranks are the ones with either very little conscience

I've never had a frame go bad that soon. Most of those are recalls where they replace the frame

Let me ask Mr Walmart to see what he thinks

Not really. That may have been true in the past, but it would be so cheap to CNC carve or extrude or injection-mould some ornamentation. Certain materials have gotten more expensive, but I think most of modernism was driven by materials pro

Even a lot of the people who think that LLMs are a dead end think that we will soon find something signficantly more powerful, which I find deeply alarming. I don't want to know what my white-collar knowledge work will look like in a d

I agree with you but I'm still worried about the safety of open weight models as well. Both aligned and unaligned models.

Its crazy to insist on releasing all new operating systems for these devices at the same time. I didn't realize they were doing that. If one team is behind they would still have to ship it anyway

i'm sure most of those patches will keep coming to Sequoia over the coming years

Who is catching up with them? Even Google and Meta are getting gaped at this point

Not every system that's exploitable is the deliberate result of cut corners. If you threw enough compute at exploiting a Casio calculator you could get somewhere.

I think it's useful to separate the motives of Anthropic and Dario. I believe that Dario is capable, deep down, of expressing mild concern about the future of things were bad enough. Getting the entire organization to comply out of goo

The only way out is to develop a model vastly more powerful and capable that we have now. The market believes theres a good chance of that, although I've never understood why its truly winner-take-all

I've been thinking about that and that's why Nvidia's prices are surprising to me. Investors should know that better than me so there must be something I don't know

It's way easier to train a model on existing data centers in secret than it is to acquire uranium and plutonium and start a nuclear program

there was a layer in between. I had it XRF'd after I started. And I always cleanup with a full HEPA vacuum anyways.

the cost of starting a company that makes a line of tractors combines and sprayers is probably second only to an aircraft manufacturer in difficulty and complexity

I've been well served by just using a P100 respirator when I'm doing anything dirty or dusty. There have been a few times that it's reduced exposure to something bad that I didn't know about, among them removing old shin

that's what I did. I could usually pull out a C on the final exam. That is certainly something I would do differently now, as a non-teenager. I never cheated on exams or papers or projects but I would use solution sets for homework, wh

I can't imagine trying to be a teacher in 2026. I would have never written a single paper or problem set myself in HS and college.

I thought the opposite. I've sensed the gravitational pull from 2 trillion-dollar companies that are hoping to IPO in the near future

isn't the immigrant question a real obstacle for political change towards fixing this problem? That we would have to come to some kind of consensus on what to do for illegal immigrants
