It’s interesting how you zero in on skin color rather than culture. Many of the other dog whistles at least try to focus on culture and religion, but you went right ahead to equate…

What people see is all there is. Mediated by their biases. If you are disappointed because people as a whole are not rational…

I’m not sure the definition matters here. Either you are doing business and this regulation makes certain things now illegal; or you are not doing business and it’s unsolicited and…

Tell the story of what’s happened in the last 15 years, not just the 2000s under Bush 2. In 2015, the JCPOA was signed to address some of these shortcomings. It especially enhanced…

Famously, America has shown to be exceptionally skilled at getting the rich to help pay for society they sit on top of.

My read is that money changes transactions that are antithetical to the goals of this community. Money is such a concrete way to keep score that it warps interactions, making “winn…

It also presupposes that open models will bridge that gap towards opus4.5, which was really when I drank the AI coding koolaid

The second option also incentivizes the seller, who is often a local real estate magnate, to pressure local officials to issue the permits.

Here’s my steel man. Wall Street hates the entitlement that they perceive from soft coders. They don’t like companies not constantly putting downward pressure on costs, which is wh…

Police are responsible for violations of the law, not immigration. This also requires due process. And frankly, the per capita rates for crimes committed by unauthorized immigrants…

Isn’t it more dependent on how Trump is feeling? That makes it much more depressing for the leader of the country to be messing with our largest economy like this.

I have always heard that dopers are consistently ahead of testing regimes. I don’t think it is easier to tell than AI, which always seems pretty obvious to me.

It doesn’t always have to have consequences when it’s a curated access club like the Oscars. It’s ok to have cultural norms that aren’t enforced by consequences, at the very least …

4. Or we could acknowledge that everyone is pathfinding.

YMMV. I would still be very happy with Claude if it hard failed on 20% of tasks. You can always come back to it. I say this as someone working for a tech company who does not have …

It’s almost as if a group of 80,000 dynamic humans in a wild uncharted environment might mean decisions are made that have to be re-evaluated in a year!

This is demonstrably false. In the case of removing migrants, the court ordered the practice halt and flights get turned around. The court also found evidence of contempt from the …

Ahh but intent to harm doesn’t mean thy aren’t doing harm. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”

I can see a world where energy costs rise at a rate faster than overall inflation, or are a leading indicator. In that scenario then yes I could see LLM token costs going up.

Law enforcement has also burned its goodwill with the public, making everything harder.

HN sometimes talks about pathological customers who will never be happy. Boris is probably the single best rep in the community, possibly ever. The way your tone and complaints com…

The only reason he’s not constantly thinking about retribution is because he spends most of the time with his brain idle, or thinking of his next grift.

Isn’t the definition of official duties vague and left to the courts?

You are probably in the top 25%, depending on where in your 40s you are. Median is about 162k for Americans in their 40s.

This is also a feature of distributed economies; it’s just the communication overhead to make a change centrally means that bad decisions are less easily repaired. AI and electroni…
