When the overall economy grows, the demand for human labor often grows with it — it doesn’t shrink. That has been the story of 200+ years of industrialization: new technology elimi…

A few thoughts: 1. Chat, being 3 yr old, is a fairly mature and solved problem today. Top companies aren't even talking about it anymore! Gemma 31B does it amazingly well (for $0.4…

For those who missed: Gemini coding and agentic capabilities have been lagging the sota models (Opus mostly) since Dec 2026. If you're a co-lead and your model is underperforming t…

Would you be better off trusting something like Claude Desktop app / Claude Cowork instead? OpenClaw stories are very scary to me.

I owned a model 3 and two model Ss. I largely regard model S as the best sedan ever made (in less than 100k USD luxury price range). No, model 3 doesn't even come close. Plus you c…

How to read this brilliant blog post by Gary Marcus? - Replace all the occurances of "LLM" by "human"; - Replace all the occurences of "Scaling" by "additional education". Voila! Y…

Despite consensus forecasts predicting a slowdown to 1.8% growth, the US economy appears poised for acceleration in 2026 driven by a potent combination of aggressive fiscal and mon…

By late 2025, Boston’s Kendall Square biotech hub faces a severe downturn marked by a "biotech winter" of plummeting venture capital and soaring lab vacancies. Caused by high inter…

This reads like a mid-life crisis. A few rebuttals: 1. Yes, humans cause enormous harm. That’s not new, and it’s not something a single technology wave created. No amount of recycl…

The distinction Karpathy draws between "growing animals" and "summoning ghosts" via RLVR is the mental model I didn't know I needed to explain the current state of jagged intellige…

The author is conflating a financial correction with a technological failure. I agree that the economics of GenAI are currently upside down. The CapEx spend is eye-watering, and th…

AI-text detection software is BS. Let me explain why. Many of us use AI to not write text, but re-write text. My favorite prompt: "Write this better." In other words, AI is often u…

What kind of world do you live in? Actually Google ads tend to be some of the highest ROI for the advertiser and most likely to be beneficial for the user. Vs the pure junk ads tha…

Lowering LDL cholesterol is arguably the most evidence-backed longevity intervention available today. Mendelian randomization studies suggest that each standard deviation of lifelo…

I recently downloaded about 10 years of monthly price returns for QQQ, TQQQ, NVDA, GBTC, and a few others. Then I asked ChatGPT and Gemini (separately) to find the portfolio that m…

1. I find Gemini 2.5 Pro's text very easy and smooth to read. Whereas GPT5 thinking is often too terse, and has a weird writing style. 2. GPT5 thinking tends to do better with i) t…

I’m a big advocate of branchless programming — keeping configurations to a minimum and maintaining as much linear flow as possible, with little to no cfg-driven branching. Why? I o…

He's a very smart and imaginative guy. The most imaginative people sometimes aren't the best at predicting the future (top 1), but rather good at predicting possibilities (top N).

I've seen this happen before. President ordering people to be sued, and even jailed. There's a name for this kind of system and it isn't congressional democracy.

The video "How AI Datacenters Eat the World" argues that the rise of artificial intelligence has triggered a seismic shift, fundamentally reinventing the datacenter from a facility…
