Given the context of the list I suspect they don’t mean any of them quite as strictly as you’re taking it. Of course there are situations where lying is actually is morally correct. However I do think that many situations where one is tempt

One thing I’m curious about is if they are so good, and use a similar technique as humans, because they are trained on people writing out their thought processes. Which isn’t a bad thing or an attempt to say they are cheating or this isn’t

It’s true for algorithms, it’s not true for software systems. There is a ton of undefined behavior and unverifiable in software that’s widely distributed. A lot of the time this is even because those working on the systems don’t know the ed

I’ve seen this in all the models I’ve used. They give you false info, you call them on it, they say “oh yep ha here’s the right info” and that right info may or may not be correct still.

Huh first time being confused with an AI. I can't decide if that's a compliment or an insult. I think it likely means that you find the comment vacuous?

This is a rare piece on AI which takes a coherent middle of the road viewpoint. Saying both that AI is “normal” and that it will be transformative is a radical statement in today’s discussions about AI. Looking back on other normal but tran

Wow I’m genuinely surprised that’s not getting more press. That’s absolutely going to shock the hell out of some people.

Wait why would $0.75 have a $75 charge? Is there a minimum tariff that’s not as widely reported reported on? That would be a 10000% tariff. Or is this just exaggeration

It is very interesting how if there was a genuine attempt at degrowth this is potentially a good start.

I was brought up as an American to believe that most important American value inscribed in the constitution was that the government cannot control your speech. So regardless of what Harvard does or does not do that quote, coming from the go

I am curious how much of python’s rise is a result of the data/ai rise and people wanting to be a part of that. Is it being used to consistently build production applications? If the TIOBE is mostly lines of code, which it’s descriptio

One thing I don't quite understand in all of these discussions is why there seems to be a fundamental disagreement about the importance of the dollar at the core of them. Maybe we really just don't know that much about how global

Yea as a gardener I enjoyed the themes but the images really threw me off. They don’t add anything. I always thought that stock images in blogs seemed unnecessary but at least they didn’t have glaring errors in them.

One thing I've found that's really nice with Fennel + Love2D is you can even do hot reloading with nvim+conjure[0](I assume emacs too). I assume there's a way to hot refresh with just straight Lua but it feels very natural to

Edit: I noticed this comment was rather controversial and reread the article. The author is actually saying most people misunderstand psychological safety to be an environment where people don’t disagree. Their understanding of psychologica

Each step calculates the next state and returns it. You can then compose those state calculators. If you need to save the state that’s IO and you have a bit specifically for it.

It’s a temporary pause presumably so they can figure pricing out. Doesn’t seem unreasonable to take some time to determine what the new price should be. Maybe they get a good deal on shipping and came only raise prices by 5% or it’s worse a

This is super cool. I finally just upgraded my desktop and one thing I’m curious to do with it is run local models. Of course the ram is late so I’ve been googling trying to get an idea of what I could expect and there’s not much out there

What would TypeLisp or Visual Scheme provide that you can’t get from a repl and a language server integrated into your editor? At work I write a lot of TypeScript. At how I write a lot of lisp. The lisp is absolutely more ergonomic and exte

How do you distill it? Do you have a machine purpose built for water distillation or some other method?

Orwell’s Reflections on the Spanish War[0] has a good quote about this which feels particularly salient in light of the tariffs: > Against that shifting phantasmagoric world in which black may be white tomorrow and yesterday’s weather ca

It’s relevant because republicans campaign on it. If neither party claimed to be fiscally responsible I’d agree. However one does and isn’t. That makes the relative debt load under that party compared to the other fair game.

Oh yes I agree. Not trying to downplay the recent inflation at all. More musing about how it’s interesting that we’re mostly looking back to events outside of the US when in reality we can look to the US for much of this. Which isn’t to say

In 2023 my father was talking about how his grandfather talked about the inflation and the Weimar Republic. He talked about it how clearly in 2023 inflation was going to destroy the US as well. My father is in his late 60s. He lived through

Your premise is the goal of globalism though. You just draw larger lines. If your premise is the lines _must_ contain only the US as it is today then it’s impossible to have enough coffee for the entire country among other thing.

That potential end state isn’t possible is the point of my initial comment. It is as infeasible as the weather to control where natural resources are located. Lets talk plastics. Plastic needs oil. We’re the largest oil producer in the worl

You can grow olives in the US and there are some farms in CA. The quantities produced are orders of magnitude off though and given the time it takes to grow olive orchards we cannot replace our imports of olives in a reasonable time period.

Aside from everything else one thing what strikes me as particularly insane is how it’s not even defensible as a protective measure. My favorite everyday olive oil comes from Tunisia. They now have a 38% tariff on them. There are no out of

So I asked this question back when the wiki page for exorbitant privilege[0], the term used to refer to the US’ status, was posted. I was provided with a few links of people who do seem to understand[1]. The Hudson Bay capital piece was pro
