You think that it isn’t possible to have an emotional model of a human? Why, because you think it is too complex? Empathy done well seems like 1:1 mapping at an emotional level, but that doesn’t imply to me that it couldn’t be done at a dif

Words have valence, and valence reflects the state of emotional being of the user. This model appears to understand that better and responds like it’s in a therapeutic conversation and not composing an essay or article. Perhaps they are&#x

There is nothing AI about that demo though? It is just humans talking on the phone looking at an mvp dashboard of basic productivity metrics. In serious logistics/ manufacturing better stuff than this is already in place. e.g this arti

I’m sorry but what are you saying. How are any of these unique competitive advantages over iCloud, App Store, Safari, and just generally more locked-in high margin mobile platform users than anyone?

Middlemen for overseas manufacturers are not typically what comes to mind when I hear “wealthy fat cats.” If all the middlemen see the same increase in costs, they are not going to be the one to try to keep prices the same. They know everyo

So you are saying that we are meant to believe the problem is that people (who exactly?) were formulating and acting on their own interpretations of the law, independent of either the executive or judiciary branches of government? Hmm. If t

For those unfamiliar -- the quote is from Andrew Jackson, and his stance on the court's invalidation of the US state of Georgia's policies that led to the Trail of Tears. Not a positive model to emulate. AFAIK the only other time

If the court cannot have an opinion more valid than the issuer of the EO, then on what authority can they invalidate it? The issuer can always say: that isn't how the law is meant to be read. First they marginalize, then they alienate,

Naive interpretations like this one, of bad faith actions is how we get there. This same assumption of good faith was wholly present in peoples' responses to project 2025 prior to the election. They are not acting in good faith. Try re

As I said, I’m open to the possibility that you are correct, but it isn’t accurate to reduce the piecewise analogy to an optic nerve playing chess against a cerebellum. You have multiple visual cortices that are made of roughly the same stu

Bringing in No True Scotsman doesn’t save the argument. These people were exceptional outcomes, where luck and hubris met sufficient competency. You cannot argue the general case from exceptions.

This is the real problem, possibly: the dev seniority pipeline dies without junior devs learning. Also possibly, good would-be-junior-devs find something more productive to do.
