Ok then, just get rid of qualified immunity. The city will take care of their liability issues on its own.

Disagree. I don’t need to be a subject matter expert on the environment or fire risks to profit from a wildfire prediction market. I need enough money to buy a pack of cigarettes. …

As in: build me Facebook-like social network.

Yeah I guess most interesting LLM work that I’ve been exposed to, the LLM is given to some sort of success criteria that could be reward-hacked, so how good am I supposed to feel a…

Something about this attack that has been unsettling to me is that without safety refusals the model did a lot of interesting counter-security work in order to cheat on the request…

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I read him regularly. My appraisal is that he never goes so far as to say, “LLMs are not useful.” He constantly says LLMs do not and will not measure up to the hyperbolic capabilit…

This is the wrong call, we should have gone for permanent standard time instead of this. Permanent DST was tried already in the 1970s and everyone in my parents’ generation tells m…

Are bond sales coming into fashion? I hadn’t heard about them until a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve heard about them twice by FAANGS

Read all of this as: “I am currently mismanaging this business unit.”

I find it troubling that we’re apparently reaching this level of learned helplessness where it’s considered unreasonable to assume the user is able to start a container instance.

Single-issue voting is something I consider a very large threat to the democratic process in the US, and is also something that both parties have become exceedingly good at creatin…

This reads like a grievance to me, so I’ll say—-I’m sorry, your company sounds like it sucks. Your skills are still valuable, I hope you can find somewhere else that values them.

Somebodies are already making “loops” that will add the noise back. If PR isn’t merged in close and open a new one, either the same one or a new one of higher priority. If is set l…

I agree, we screwed up nuclear policy here in the US but I wouldn’t say it was solely “vibes.” Three Mile Island wasn’t Chernobyl, but it also wasn’t nothing. Still, an unfortunate…

Funny, so many words used but my brain only hears, “I am currently mismanaging this company,” every time one of these layoffs occurs.

At the beginning of this blog I knew the author spoke regularly in French with at least one human regularly. When I stopped reading I was no longer certain they speak French with a…

John Carmack will never have to live near a data center’s constant droning noise. He’ll never have to breathe the toxic poison spewed by its gas turbines. He won’t be feel the impa…

It was difficult to finish reading your post after you put the OP down for stating that they believe they're more original and more capable than an LLM. Maybe leave that part out n…

Will it? I know a few Trump voters personally and their ability to self-delude is second to none.

That fragment of OP’s writing was so funny to me I’m not sure it isn’t intentionally placed. Regardless, I would rather read a thousand pages of imperfect writing than a single pag…

As somebody who is currently rounding month 6 of funemployment, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement.

> Of course you need to be able to explain and summarize it yourself How can I hold you to that unless I make you do that in your own words?

Just my personal take on this, but I’d happily perform real work for free instead of sitting for leetcodes and behavioral questions. I struggle with those formats a lot but have no…

The knock-on effects of a prolonged Hormuz closure will coincide nicely with those of a super El Niño, if one develops as predicted this year.
