This is not a "these days" thing. Most rights essentially being abrogated at the border is a thing we've had for many decades now. In particular, no non-citizen has the absolute ri…

> Law is effectively a weak gentleman’s agreement we tolerate Not all of us do. To be honest, the older I am, the less sense many laws make to me, and the more I'm willing to help …

It's not respect unless it goes both ways.

Yes. A mixture of experts is a single model that activates different routes though the same weights, with the route possibly changing literally on every token. It's not experts as …

By this definition most of our culture isn't art because it's made not to "communicate some emotional experience" but to induce one in order to make money. 90% of pop music is like…

I would argue that LLMs are still magic, because, unlike the rest of this list, we still don't actually know how exactly they do what they do. We know how to build and train them, …

MoE is just activating fewer weights per token than the whole model. It will continue to make sense for as long as compute is more expensive than memory (at scale).

Is it? To me, the notion that a superintelligence (by which I'm assuming you mean the more sensible "something smarter than us", not "literally a godlike entity") automatically mea…

We're supposedly getting Mac Studio with 1.5Tb RAM in 2 years. That would be enough to run an Opus-level model. Of course, it will also probably cost somewhere around $50k... But i…

I'd say that's more indicative of what kind of things people in your bubble generally work on. I vibe-coded a semantic parser for Lojban. A friend of mine is using it to work on de…

Elon saying that it is "Opus level" doesn't actually make it so.

The good thing is that the competition in the field is very cutthroat with so many contenders, so if there are gains to be made they will be made, and then broadly adopted by other…

Higher subscription brackets are likely worse for them. I recall seeing someone calculate that a fully maxed out highest subscription bracket is something like $15K in tokens? And …

They didn't ban people from using Claude, though. They banned them from their flat-fee subscription and required that you pay per token. It's still questionable but I don't think i…

> That is just wrong. In many places it literally results in a brain drain. Your position literally hurts already poor countries just because you want to see less white faces in th…

Ultimately it doesn't matter what the constitution says if a large enough supermajority is unhappy about it. Constitutions by themselves are pieces of paper, they only work when so…

Service providers like say Apple and Google can push an update to your phone which will intercept all that data after it has been decrypted.

Any hierarchical system of governance ends up with sociopaths on top. It's just the nature of hierarchy and bureaucracy that is necessary for it.

Your sons and daughters will still be wide eyed zombies, it's just that now your government will decide what mush to turn their brains into.

"The right of equal suffrage among the States is another exceptionable part of the Confederation. Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn…

Have you seen Wickard v. Filburn?

Germany is one prominent example for obvious historical reasons. But https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrenched_clause are not all that uncommon in general.

Fable is great as a "manager" model (writing specs, opening issues, doing PRs, verifying fixes) while Codex cranks out the code. Especially if you tell it to roleplay as an Eastern…

You don't have to choose between Elm and TypeScript though, there are so many other options now - Haskell, F#, Rust, OCaml, just to name a few.

These days, though, why not just use Haskell itself? Upstream ghc cancompile to wasm for several major releases now and there are several actively developed web frameworks, some of…
