I don’t think the US understood how far ahead the Russians were in bomb development at the time. There wasn’t really a good window where we had it and we knew they didn’t where the enmity was so bad that we would have wanted to strike first

+1 You can be certified genius in many areas but to assume that intelligence extends to all areas would be folly. Game theory obvious? Maybe. Geopolitically? Human-wise? Doubtful. I’m generally very suspicious of anything / anyone that

That’s a bit of a canary is it not? You don’t need to say that and wouldn’t know to say that unless you had worked in the space or wanted us to think you did :)

Recs weren’t bad! I’d be curious about the data source here though. Custom curated? Relying on LLM World Knowledge with some prompting?

Specifically independent and public music radio. Commercial FM / Clearchannel is trash in my opinion.

Crons. A local daemon. System access as a user with the ability to listen to changes. Some idea of shared “memory” between sessions. Provider agnostic about AI. Multi-model.

We do this with a raspberry pi and a decent lcd screen in a picture frame in our kitchen. I like the idea of e-ink but there isn’t a reason to go that route if you want to see everyone’s calendar color-coded while also saving a few bucks. L

What about $500K selling it to governments?

Since you bring up US Law, I would argue: Laws have been historically enacted to protect the few, and are not enforced with equity. Target groups receive the brunt of the enforcement while those willfully violating the law in non-target gro

Not a doctor, but in Anthropic's case they bought actual books and scanned rather than using pirated versions. For digital versions from a vendor that were found to be in violation of the ToS they paid to settle the issue. https:&#x2F

You never know, it might be worth a couple hundred grand in settlement money…

Always easier when you can avoid the law and just buy it off the shelf. It’s fine to do this, we say, because it’s not being done by the government - but if they’re allowed to turn around and buy it we’re much worse off.

Hard agree with this and this matches what I’m hearing about the agency. That said, the failures start with Noem, DHS, and its approach to governing. Policies have been actively hostile to those working at the agency, messaging is prioritiz

Love the sentiment! And I'm a user - but what about aggregations? Elasticsearch offers a ton of aggregates out of the box for "free" completely configurable by query string. Tiger Data offers continuous aggs via hypertable bu

This. Humans are people, not machines. They are your neighbors. They deserve dignity. Exploiting people’s desperation for full employment is wrong.

What if I mentioned to you that a solid chunk of those employees could be given a couple of shares of stock that made a few lucky people billionaires - some that still work there - and it would be a life-changing amount of money? In additio

Bullshit. Also not legally required.

I will not be left holding this bag. This is such financial engineering nonsense, and if we had any sort of regulatory controls this would never be allowed to happen - especially BECAUSE of national security reasons.

I wouldn’t overthink the SpaceX / xAI thing. Seems to me it’s a pure financing play to blend two companies owned by the same guy that might look meh on their own to the market but have a compelling narrative about “future growth” toget

That’s far-fetched. It’s in the interest of the model builders to solve your problem as efficiently as possible token-wise. High value to user + lower compute costs = better pricing power and better margins overall.

Hot take: Humans have always been bad at this (in the aggregate, without training). Only a certain percentage of the population took the time to investigate. For most throughout history, whatever is presented to you that you believe is the

It _might_ kill open source. It might lower revenue opportunities according to this abstract. Bit of a click-bait paper title.
