Or a music making platform

The government response to the ‘08 crisis seems to have worked out better for most big banks (low taxing of negative externalities, growing larger and more profitable), than for re…

Strict borders have only existed for ~100 years, and many were drawn without much regard for the people living there, often constructed with intention of religious segregation, and…

Unless you’re in the top 5-10% of American society, it’s unclear that your kids will be more comfortable than you. Data here: https://economicprinciples.org/Why-and-How-Capitalism-…

A few reasons: 1. Header files make C++ verbose. Header files are well within LLM's ability 2. LLMs can handle setting up cmake for you 3. C++ is very well documented relative to (…

We should talk - I'm building a new DAW with this in mind :)

You still can. Most people have more and less social periods of their lives. I have plenty of _very_ social friends in their 40s/50s who weren't as social in their 20s. Or the oppo…

Looks like a font rendering or retina issue

A lot of us are coming to terms with "tier-1" venture firms like a16z tolerating corruption and ethics violations to support financial deregulation (crypto, prediction markets) and…

Inefficient variants with $100m+ worth of compute will still probably outperform the best team of researchers

I think the most correct would be "OpenRouter costs 800% less than Apple Silicon" ;)

This one is regulated as a commodities derivative rather than gambling Call a spade a spade, rather than calling it a club because the president’s son is on the board Corruption is…

Fear not, a few of us are building in the direction you're hoping. Leveraging AI to make it easier to stay in a creative headspace with music rather than getting caught in a spread…

"Western ideals have been something genuinely new in history. The Enlightenment’s bet on reason, individual dignity, free speech, limited government, and the belief that human bein…

Yes also passing data within each layer

I think raising public awareness is a great escalation channel for severe (and complicated) cases that require bureaucratic help from senior people. We do this for other things (li…

We crossed a threshold in the past couple months where I'm not sure I'd agree that "libraries other devs depend on" is the right cutoff for LLMs. In many cases, LLMs will write mor…

data bandwidth limits distributed training under current architectures. really interesting implications if we can make progress on that

Either that or implement it at the exchange level. Eg. if accredited investors sell a stock in <3 months, you pay X% as a tax at the moment of sale - or maybe different fees for <1…

Could also price in negative externalities of short term trading with higher taxes for that behavior, nudging the markets to focus on value driving investments rather than speculat…

You could report every month and audit every 6 months
