05.03.2026 03:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0there are also high-level constraints like power. thereβs only so fast you increase the amount of power going to these things. I think weβll have plenty of more ordinary problems in the meantime
05.03.2026 03:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0a slightly more optimistic view is that when intelligence stops being the bottleneck on some thing, you are left with some other bottleneck
05.03.2026 03:00 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think there used to be more people who took bubble to mean it pops and goes away, like crypto appeared to ( though it didnβt really go away). there are fewer such people now
05.03.2026 02:23 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0the 2026 capex numbers are definitely a little alarming
05.03.2026 02:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0more importantly with the cost of inference falling so fast comstantly, todayβs intelligence level would be a lot cheaper to serve in a year. so if they were subsidizing and wanted to stop, they could phase it out and no one would notice (and they may already have)
05.03.2026 02:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I wish they would release clearer numbers but personally I think API prices are well above break-even on a marginal basis at least. though itβs possible the fixed costs are so huge they canβt be recouped

05.03.2026 02:00 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0we are so inclined toward either the tiny micro level or global macro level of analysis that we barely even see the mesoscale phenomena that may well determine most social dynamics
05.03.2026 01:57 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0on this, part of the facile thinking I am trying to push against is the idea that thereβs no middle between the singularity and it being all bullshit. itβs much harder to think about how things really are

05.03.2026 01:45 β π 10 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1I donβt know, I wouldnβt say they change completely every model gen. and even a 6 month out of date understanding has to be better than a 2 year old understanding if youβre trying to write laws

something else Iβm curious about: these regulations would almost certainly only apply to hosted models at the big providers. thereβs no way they could stop people from using open models locally or on rented cloud GPUs, right? so these restrictions serve to heavily incentivize the latter

05.03.2026 01:24 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I guess I aspire to be some kind of practical intellectual and I feel like I'm in an interesting position to theorize the present because I am on the one hand a software engineer and on the other hand a great books philosophy guy and on the other other hand some kind of marxist
05.03.2026 01:12 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0like, I think we're going to need a bunch of different laws like this and it would be better if they were informed by a better understanding of the activity of using LLMs
05.03.2026 01:07 β π 6 π 1 π¬ 2 π 0I think the most likely outcome is we muddle through between the two extremes and the actual course we take could depend on people getting wise 3 or 6 months sooner. I agree itβs possible that it doesnβt really matter

is this equivalent to `diff-formatter = ":git"` ? I use that anyway to make delta work as the pager

Always use jj. jj status, jj diff, jj diff -r @-, jj log, etc. to view a file at a revision, use jj file show <path> -r <rev> (not jj cat). to exclude paths from a jj command, use fileset syntax: jj diff '~dir1 & ~dir2' or jj restore '~package-lock.json' prefer squash workflow in jj over editing, where if you're trying to update rev A, work in a rev on top of A and periodically squash what you've done into A for parallel approaches, use jj new <base> to create siblings from a common base, implement each approach, then compare. bookmarks are unnecessary for this workflow use jjw to manage jj workspaces: jjw create (or jjw c) creates a workspace and cds into it, jjw ls lists workspaces, jjw rm interactively removes one Non-destructive jj operations are generally allowlisted. When working on a complex change, use jj new or jj commit (equiv do jj desc + jj new) after chunks of work to snapshot each step in a reviewable way when using jj squash, avoid the editor popup with -m 'msg' or -u to keep the destination message. These flags are mutually exclusive. don't try to run destructive jj ops like squash or abandon unprompted. intermediate commits are fine; just note when cleanup might be needed --ignore-immutable may be needed when abandoning divergent commits from other authors, e.g., after rebasing on their branch and force pushing jj dt and jj dts are custom aliases that diff a rev against its fork point from trunk (like a GitHub PR diff). jj dt shows the full diff, jj dts shows --stat. Both default to @ but accept an optional rev argument.
hm I might have too much in there. but most are idiosyncrasies of how I want to work or fixes for common mistakes it makes

04.03.2026 23:26 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0the reason to think this is that if you zoom into the current superusers, a year ago they looked exactly like the population at large: probably a power law distribution with small proportion of superusers and a long tail. now they're all superusers
