"Skill" at poker is nonsense. It's non-deterministic, so any equal efforts are not to be given equal outcome.

it needs to be illegal for the government to buy data or intelligence that it could not otherwise legally collect itself.

We is the country. Yeah, not everyone gets to win the same amount at the same time. The alternative is just maga communism (pathetic).

The tariffs have been highly destructive to local manufacturing because in the US we mostly build complex things made out of simpler parts which we import. The cost of everything w…

This is AI generated slop.

Nah, that's ridiculous. This admin is corrupt and idiotic and it's silly to pretend that Anthropic's actions matter except in so much as they didn't bribe the president like OpenAI…

and how much of that philosophy do you even know?

yeah, that’s the point

Land that was conquered in war. It is reasonable to find this distasteful, but it is not unethical in any coherent way.

The average efficiency improvement is closer to something like 2-3x per Anthropic’s numbers and this is only the rate at which software can advance. Do you expect to notice if 12 m…

This is going to be an unpopular reply I imagine but this person is not well and their behavior should not be imitated. This is a classic example of omnicause anxiety, like people …

Most members of management were individual contributors beforehand. I say this just because it is remarkably common for people to assign malign intent or stupidity to people doing …

The statement that the chatbot is conscious is neither true nor untrue in any meaningful sense. The current debate is supported by very strong feelings that we must be conscious an…

the author overestimates how much ~$5M/yr actually is. a business like uber isn't happy about that but it's not even in the top 10 of things they're wasting money on. moreover this…

Oh I remember this quote. I thought it was quite a good one because he’s right. At least in the US, apple maps is better than google maps for most purposes.

I'm mostly curious how much of that revenue is actual ARR, which is to say contractually recurring. It is pretty dang rare for a hardware company to have nontrivial ARR.

AI is less deranging than partisan news and social media, measurably so according to a recent study https://www.ft.com/content/3880176e-d3ac-4311-9052-fdfeaed56...

That seems shockingly naive.

It's definitely just to get people to fly with a valid ID without ambushing the enormous number of people who have been living under a rock and don't realize they need a real ID. O…

I wrote my own agentic coding harness (it's quite easy) but I use claude code because opus's competence with its own tools is very high.

To be quite clear, I hate configuring my environment. I hate it. The farther I get from creating things that people can use, the less I like it. I spend most of my time on claude c…

Respectfully I don’t think the author appreciates that the configurability of Claude Code is its performance advantage. I would much rather just tell it what to do and have it go d…

You either misread or are misrepresenting my statement and either way I am not interested in continuing this.
