A product is what people (or now agents) can use to carry out any activity. There is a lot of hand wringing in the software space about ai code being a mess - but from a product pe…

I think in social sciences it maybe more of an inability/reluctance of the domain group to use the mathematics as opposed to the mathematics being absent. Take category theory for …

Not true. Novel mathematical methods precede their application by at least a decade and widespread use by about a century. Calculus was invented in 1670, it was about 1680-1700 til…

About time. We are a couple of decades late to the apocalypse.

This is a really weird comparison. The Chan Zuckerberg foundation is nowhere involved with any war. All they’re doing is making money available for research. In which universe is $…

I think an FDE is a post sales thing. It’s basically the sale has been done and as a company you don’t have enough expertise to scale what you bought.

I used to do that when my children were little. However, in another 3 years your child will not require you as much anymore and your downtime duration will improve. My problem has …

Does meta have the research talent to create a SOTA frontier model? Yann LeCun has left Meta and I don’t think either alexandr wang or zuck have enough credibility to attract talen…

The small wealth tax will be spent not on people but on growing the government’s bureaucracy. Take highly taxed states (eg CA) and no tax/low tax states (eg TX). You pay more for i…

Have y'all hit the "can genai do his job?" phase yet... Early on I used to try to explain that things don't work as advertised. There are a lot of advantages but you need a human r…

Is it really required to get personal here?

It depends. If one is Iraqi and Saddam asks him to be his chef, they're not refusing. They're probably dead if they refuse. Chef's are also sourced from other countries without dis…

I don't think the global transaction router is a GLB. Having dabbled in this for high traffic telemetry gathering infrastructure, I will hazard a guess and say the "router" isn't a…

It doesn't make sense even for academia. Reproducibility is an issue and as we've seen with recent fraudulent claims in major publications - it's what is going to be used for verif…

What I was about to say. I’m pretty sure most of the students walking out have a trust fund way more than what I have as savings.

You have to see it from janestreet's perspective. They're an HFT and trading high volume (millions if not 10's of millions) of stock & instruments. There is no "fix". By the time y…

If they do business in the US they will be expected to comply with US law - this includes their stock being traded on US stock exchanges. If they don’t have any business in the US …

It can stop now and you can choose not to click on the links :)

I think it’s more of an ease of use issue. When I was in grad school, I used to cycle my work between dev on a MacBook and heavy processing work on a desktop. This was 2011/2012. D…

Both are major suppliers of oil and petroleum products. You have short term principles too. It’s not like you’re not buying things linked to Saudi Arabia or UAE for lack of human r…

Islam is worse than Christianity. They preach hate to begin with. At least Christianity started peacefully before being consumed by the conversion mafia. Judaism I have nothing aga…

What rot. Tell that to native Americans who were forcibly converted and enslaved. Tell that to people in the inquisition. Tell that to peoples in India and the east that were forci…

Human value has rarely existed. Pre-industrial world didn't have much human value. Your were a lord or a serf. There was not much in between. A lord's life had value, a serf's valu…

>>>> In a world where you import all your digital services from the United States, you have no leverage over the United States It's a bit deeper than that. If AI becomes as ubiquit…

Why? Microsoft probably just hasn’t prioritized nimbus participation over their other construction work. They probably haven’t yet constructed the correct subsidiary structure or k…
