Aren’t quants and what you would usually refer to as “investment bankers” pretty different groups of people?

This is the same pitch that people make about AI today. Speed isn’t the differentiator, quality is

They are definitely trying to get you to think that Apple (the company perhaps single-handedly responsible for developing Chinese manufacturing) is racist

You would never put an Oxford comma in a list of two items

It actually says “celebrating Ohio and America’s 250th” (not Ohio’s) so this works ok

> QWERTY is hard to quit Is your moonlander not QWERTY? Can’t you just change the layout, if not? Or do you mean the Ortholinear layout is hard to get used to? I’ve been wanting to…

What does “distance to 100k people mean”?

The parent is, to my reading, arguing that Anthropic is indeed advocating for a ban. I do not see them making any judgement on whether that ban is justified or not. I don’t think t…

Formally verified against what spec?

Doesn’t this “adaptive system” just become part of the static defense? The same way that a bit of code that checks passwords against a db is “dynamic”, the options are either to be…

I find “bad at comms” to be such a cop out. As if it’s saying that the company is so troubled and misunderstood, but really, you would see, is good if only they could figure out ho…

If you’re working on it for 2 weeks, why not just write it yourself (perhaps chatting with an AI on the side to develop your thoughts)?

I’ve had a little bit of this excitement when an update comes out with Zed. Updates are frequent, and while it’s totally usable it’s still immature enough as a full IDE that the im…

Isn’t there still risk for a lender in a typical interest-bearing loan? That the borrower will default?

I don’t think this is true. OpenAI is well known, but they still benefit from drumming up hype about AI, keeping it in the news, etc.

The problem is that the people telling us about these things are the same people that benefit from their model (and AI generally) being used, getting publicity, etc. I think we des…

I’m pretty sure that is exactly what your role is to the companies in the content business

You could imagine that this wasn’t the case, right? Or you could imagine that investing in it for those people who do want it might improve your own life (e.g. by reducing traffic)…

Yes, exactly. Because if you’d paid that penny for a server on the regular internet you would just link to the real site

But you could imagine a country that invested, in addition to roads, cars, and oil, in public transportation, cities that you can get around on foot, and in renewable energy. Such …

I wonder if the fact that you linked to clear web source code links rather than onion links demonstrates why people might pay the penny…

Are you suggesting that in fact we have not entered any new wars in recent history?
