Great connection to draw. Ben Franklin too spent much time creating and cultivating the strength of small grassroots organizations.

Isn't this part of why crypto has been so successful — at least outside the U.S. where the fiat currency isn't as stable?

Coase was a founder of the field sometimes called "New Institutional Economics" and I think Terry is basically independently reaching some of the conclusions that have already been published in that field, including some of Coase&

This is certainly true in Silicon Valley. It provides an interesting tentative answer to the question that has been posed by some AI optimists about what people are going to do with all their leisure time after the AI is able to do their jo

Antitrust and competition law certainly play an important role, but the examples you cite have not impacted the ability of what we have since the 1970s called "startups" to enter the market in competition with monopolies. The more

Terry seems to have recovered a key feature of the theory expressed by North, Wallis, and Weingast in Violence and Social Orders. On their view, industrialization depended upon a handful of nation states achieving what they call "door

Fascinating. Like there is some accuracy threshold beyond which they cannot converge, but instead run with the inaccuracy.

It is really curious to see how the performance degraded despite the tool calls. What was different about the first month? Was all of the context there without tool calls in the first month? In the later months that seem like tool calls wer

Thanks for this additional link, which really underscores for me at least how you're right about patterns in circuits being a better abstraction layer for capturing interesting patterns than topological manifolds. I wasn't familia

I think it's interesting that in physics, different global symmetries (topological manifolds) can satisfy the same metric structure (local geometry). For example, the same metric tensor solution to Einstein's field equation can ex

Worth a read if you're a Douglas Hofstadter or Karl Friston fan. Significant bit from the conclusion: "The theory is testable and falsifiable at the level of computational modeling, but also in terms of neural implementation.&quot

The weather data example in their documentation makes it really simple to grasp how it works as an interface for models: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server I don't think it's terribly difficult

I don't know that much about ring modulation, but having read a bit about it, I think I love at least most of the uses of it I know. The guitar solo in Paranoid Android is one of my favorites in any record. But I love pretty much every

Thank you! I'm so glad to have that confirmed. I feel like I do hear them, and actually have come around to liking them. They feel quite different from what you get with a pure harmony in Just Intonation -- maybe the ephemerality of th

I will admit that I already had some familiarity with the topic, but I feel you did an amazing job at explaining specifically the constraints you're under as a composer, and in elucidating how having digital tools doesn't magicall

I feel like I can hear beat frequencies in the 12TET chords that I don't hear in the JI chord examples. Anybody else hearing that? Or is that my imagination?

I found the paper very interesting and thought provoking. But I wonder, as a practical matter, whether the heavy reliance placed upon the von Neumann architecture as providing a distinction between a conscious and non-conscious intelligence

This is a wonderful article and kudos to the author for his moral sensibility here. The lack of liquidity and anti-dilution rights for any except a handful of key persons is a dirty secret of Silicon Valley. Most startup employees do not en

Love this curious and open-minded exploration of how this stuff works. The pyramid strategy loosely tracks with renormalization group theory, which has been formally studied for years as a method of interpreting machine learning models: ht
