  1. From the murderer's text messages:

    > Roommate: Why?

    > Robinson: Why did I do it?

    > Roommate: Yeah

    > Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out.

    Besides everyone around him testifying that he'd been left-wing ever since dropping out of college, his admission that he found Charlie's relatively moderate speech "hateful" strongly suggests the murderer was quite far to the left.

  2. This isn't a culture argument or even a sound/good argument for anything. Americans are just wealthier and you can't compare like that.

    When you compare groups of students within the same country and adjust for both household income and intelligence you find that (again, even within the same intelligence brackets and income levels) some ethnic groups simply study more while others spend more time on things like unprovoked violence.

  3. Very cool. I tried the web version last week.
  4. Half the planet is more AI-positive than the US. Something like only 4% of Chinese people are concerned about AI while around half of Americans are concerned about AI.
  5. Many jurisdictions outlaw sharing but not copying. Downloading is legal in those places but publishing is not.
  6. If you believe their earnings will continue increase at the same rate for next two years then it's more like getting in early on a P/E under 15. No bubble, just solid growth expectations.
  7. According to these stats there's around 10% fewer daily likers than last September and 30% fewer daily posters. Bluesky is dead lol.
  8. Palantir has an autonomous weapons command and control product in partnership with Anduril and other weapons manufacturers. They aren't just intelligence.
  9. "We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started." - Sam Altman, 4 days ago
  10. The still is not transformative but the model reproducing it is obviously transformative. Other general purpose tools can be used to infringe and yet are non-infringing as well.
  11. YES 100%, and severely disabled too.
  12. What makes you say that?
  13. Are you meaning to imply AI generated material is like "wrong figures?"
  14. So, infinite context length by making it compute bound instead of memory bound. Curious how much longer this takes to run and when it makes sense to use vs RAG.
  15. Nordic countries are made of homogeneous populations whose ancestors somewhat uniquely developed prosocial long term planning preferences to survive harsh winters thanks to natural selection.

    Nordic equality is as natural as the inequality we see everywhere else.

  16. Sounds like you're trying to solve a byzantine generals problem.
  17. Banks mostly deal in stablecoin which tend to be reversible, freezable, etc by court order since they're permissioned not permissionless.
  18. Obtaining copies of pirated works is not infringement. Unauthorized sharing is infringement but being on the receiving end of sharing is not (even if one is an active participant).
  19. >The problem with all of these AI specific workflow engines is they are not durable, so they are process local, suffer crashes, cannot resume, don't have good visibility or distribution, etc. They often only allow limited orchestration instead of code freedom, only one language, etc

    So what's the solution?

  20. It's used to transfer currency between accounts on fundamentally transparent ledgers. Barely any crypto involves anonymous anything.
