I also read it as a hatred for public institutions broadly, outside of those which monopolize violence, because they’re at least seen as useful tools.

This was a wonderful read.

I definitely feel like I missed out big by only getting into Isis after they broke up. Getting to listen to something like this live and let the rhythm vibrate my sternum would have been something else www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVAn...

Gen X? Who?

stg openai is gonna fade away some years from now due to just some dumb missteps like Hewlett Packard and ed zitron will finally have is day. it will be unbearable

stavy put it well with "feels like a bunch of children who don't know their dads ran a town" and "this feels like a nice fat guy retirement place"

my "unpopular on bluesky" opinion is that the large majority of hacker news commenters lean left, politically

(my reason for this is it's a large enough population to just reflect the politics of tech workers, which is dominantly left-leaning)

Yeah, I mean I can see why. Resource management is just a pit of complexity and they just don’t wanna get into that game

Isn’t this more because most clients don’t support resources?

Monster trucks and treating sex as something the other person enjoys equally, these are things for rockin’ dudes

Oh shit I just saw the discourse on men getting laid. My contribution is that men should find some cool stuff to get into:

Beavers
Books
Lakes
Lifting
Birds
Poetry
Programming
Trains
Building sheds
Anthropology
Volunteering
Hosting dinners
Music
Hiking
Movies
Bikes
Fashion
Total War: Warhammer

Left definitely looks like it’s just a dingus with a second pair of nuts

At this point it almost feels like a conspiracy to me. Like I just see the wild numbers related to excessive water use, CO2 emissions, land damage, etc etc for like … cattle, of course 40% of their resulting tortured meat will go straight into a dumpster, and journos have just moved on???

At this point I might as well carry around a sign saying “your latte order cost society 100 to 1000x more water than your daily chatgpt usage” which is definitely imprecise but probably needed for The Discourse

That said my real take is “boy I wish we were invested this much in more buses, streetcars, light rail, and high speed rail and used the same regulatory powers we have to give a middle finger to the rich NIMBYs”, but that’s probably a harder problem to solve lol

My take is the depreciation is a bit overblown. I was able to get a near-SOTA smaller LLM to run acceptably fast on an M1 chip earlier this year. That’s not super long-lived, but I do think there’s a ton of juice to squeeze out of older hardware for many years

Lake stratification - Wikipedia

I’m starting to get into lakes en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_st...

just watched that independently today because of the algorithm and … lmao, whew, deer in headlights type shit. they fuckin went for it. slotkin was 100% roasted like a chestnut, I bet she’s so fuckin mad lol

I keep seeing the Microsoft paper on AI use at work being used as a list of which jobs will be destroyed.

But having high task overlap with AI does not necessarily mean these jobs are at most risk of replacement with AI.

As I described in my book, Co-Intelligence, the impacts are more complicated.

Yeah she’s kind of a reverse joe manchin, usually on the good side of an issue, but will do some weird stuff to keep her district. One less R in the house so it’s good with me

Like this is orthogonal to everything else, they just fucked up with exec dysfunction

Organizationally they are. They brought in a VP to define the AI strategy around building their own LLMs when they had little in-house expertise, despite several engineers having successful prototypes that custom models couldn't do. Many months later they eventually fired him and re-orged everyone.

I have wondered more than once if, he were alive today, he'd be a fan of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job

I wonder what kind of poster Marx would be today. Would he be an insufferable prick like Matt Yglesias? Would he basically be leftie Matt Yglesias? is Matt Yglesias ... our Marx?

This is an insane take and you should delete it. There’s nothing antisemetic about being against a genocide committed by an utterly dominant military force.
