This tracks with my observation that upper management types in essentially every domain are pampered assholes who haven't interacted with the real world in decades, if ever. Hell y…

Neither can I, if I'm being honest.

No, both of these things can happen in parallel. The suggestion is that a 1T model could be made to run on cheap consumer hardware of the future.

Genuine question, what work has Paul Graham done that can be classified as 'great'?

This begs the question of what the fundamentals really are. There are a bajillion bootcamps and learn-x-in-a-weekend books out there, most of which seem to focus on getting you fam…

Most of us on some level felt confident that AI would completely revolutionise our society. The singularity made sense to me, at least. It hasn't worked out like that, but rather t…

What's the distinction between capital and money?

FWIW, this isn't unique to capital. The same 'get a thing that ticks a box out of the door as fast as physically possible even if it's AI slop' thinking is everywhere in grant-fund…

Thanks, my next short-haul flight will be considerably improved

Gvim is a TUI with a GUI taped on top, and whilst the PowerShell you've given there does call a GUI library function as described, I'm pretty sure the author is referring to non tr…
