Missing context from my comment: I think the triple IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, are going to be the thing that pops the AI bubble. They IPO for X, the stocks fall by som…

I want to buy options against QQQ so badly -- but Tesla has traded at a crazy multiple of revenue/profits for a very long time, so I'm wondering if Elon/AI hype will keep these sto…

I have a really hard time with this argument because I'm _positive_ 99.99% of bullets fired in the US are NOT being fired to kill things. So I see people this arguments and its lik…

Mitchel Hashimoto started a tool for this, https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch .

I'm saying it _is_ and _was_ an issue during the day and heavy commute hours, those were the only hours I rode it! Other places in the world with nice train systems do not burden t…

I rode the MAX when living there for a few years. I vividly recall screaming drugged out homeless riders being a regular feature. The last time I rode, a year ago, there was someon…

5 years ago was the beginning of 2021, just under a year after GPT3 was released (which was not good at doing anything useful). And that model was 175B params. GPT4 has been widely…

Actually, that is not what is happening here. What is happening here is that the govt is saying "Okay, we will not buy your widgets. Also, anyone who _does_ buy your widgets, regar…

A 30 day waiting period on news articles doesn't meaningfully reduce actual suicides. One on guns _does_, without a corresponding harm to the buyer.

What do you mean exactly by "diversify"? Money/investment-wise?

I do something similar - I create a "2025December.md" file each month (with proper year/month obviously) and have a bullet list of everything I'm working on/trying to keep track of…

I _kind of_ understand this one. You can think of a bubble as a market exploring a bunch of different possibilities, a lot of which may not work out. But the ones that do work out,…

I agree that is what he is doing, but I can also justify adding fentanyl to every drug sold in the world as "making it better" from a business perspective, because it is addictive.…

"advertising would make ChatGPT a better product." And with that, I will never read anything this guy writes again :)

But just to clarify, because I'm also having a hard time imagining this, an LTE antenna in a cell phone can beam data to a satellite and have it picked up? Even at whatever low kbp…

With (I assume) cell phone use prevalent in every single classroom in the nation that hasn't banned them, and school shootings a minuscule probability, "much rarer" is doing a lot …

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stkb.rew... I use this extension extensively. It's not auto-wrapping, but you can bind it to an easy shortcut and wrap when you …

I have what is probably a dumb question: How can a Raptor turbopump need almost double the HP of a F1 while putting out 1/3 or 1/4th the thrust? (Assuming Elon's 100k HP number was…

I had a subscription to the WSJ for awhile. I liked it because it is consistent. It definitely has a conservative slant, especially in the opinion section, but you can "lead the sh…

"shift/control-clicking to get multiple things is a flat no-go from a UX perspective" - Do you mean that this is NOT how you should do multiselects? If that is what you mean, then …

As someone who also lives in Central Oregon (and was born and raised here), I will say this: this article is profoundly misleading. They state that the Upper Deschutes CFS goes fro…

About every quarter, I get together with a group of friends a few hours away and we have an all-weekend LAN party. They all live in the same area, and have wives & kids so usually …

This is a nitpick, but their "Claude 2 on 200k Context Data" graph doesn't actually extend to 200k, only 100k. Would be curious to know if that _is_ actually the graph for 200k wit…

I've been wondering if all of the jailbreak-fixing/rlhf-tuning that is happening to GPT4 is responsible for "nerfing it" (Still unsure if that's actually happening or if people are…

I relate to this, though perhaps obliquely. I feel far more peaceful and centered when I am hungover. I don't have a thousand things flying around the edges of my brain, nipping at…
