I haven't seen him disclose a specific number but they basically offered to keep him very comfortably employed by them, however they wanted to manipulate his research and working for them meant that they could keep the results out of the public eye (They owned his research and he was under a confidentiality contract) so when they buried his work he left and continued his research independent of their funding so that he could publish.

I've seen far too many of his talks and interviews on youtube to recall which ones had him speaking about it himself, but here is his wife:

When he discovered these results and reported it to them, they asked him to do some additional work to make sure that these things were really accurate. So he did some additional work and then they wanted him to do more and more and more and this is where Syngenta said basically we can fund you for a really long time if you'll just keep repeating this.

So I’ve been wondering this for a while. Why don’t we actually use a „spacetime“ format, like 2024-12-05T23:03:47+48.86,2.34 instead of bothering with time zones at all? Why not use arbitrary precision coordinates in their place? That would solve a bunch of issues with time zones at once, like not needing to know which time offset existed at the point in time in question. Depending on the use case, we could make the coordinates more precise, but regularly, I’d wager one or two digits would suffice for current timestamp usage.

I think we agree. I don’t think there is that much difference between ORM patterns (and I’m sorry I misunderstood you) because they all eventually become more trouble than they are worth in larger and more serious projects. I agree that you can probably go further with data mapper pattern ORMs, like EF, but I’m not sure I think the same is true for something like DjangoORM vs SQLAlchemy. On the flip-side a lot of projects will do fine with any ORM and never run into issues over their lifecycles.

Though in a world of SQLC (and similar) I’m not sure what ORMs are really solving for anyone anymore.

QUOTE:
The four venture capitalists that host All-In have a lot to feel smug about. In June two of them—David Sacks, a PayPal alumnus, and Chamath Palihapitiya—threw a fundraising event for Mr Trump when he visited San Francisco, which raked in $12m. On December 5th Mr Trump returned the favour by naming Mr Sacks his artificial-intelligence (AI) and crypto “tsar”. Mr Sacks accordingly wore a Russian fur hat to the event.

Alongside Mr Trump, the All-In podcast counts Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, two other PayPal mafiosi, as friends. From the stage there was jubilation over Mr Musk’s influence on the president-elect (“Being Elon Musk is a pretty fucking sweet deal”) and Mr Thiel’s patronage of J.D. Vance, the incoming vice-president. “The PayPal Mafia’s takeover of the government is now complete, so good work on that,” quipped Aaron Levie, the founder of Box, a cloud-storage firm (and a Democratic donor decidedly out of place).
...
...
The hosts also made clear who was out of favour. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, was roundly mocked. He is Mr Musk’s nemesis. Mr Palihapitiya, with the future AI tsar at his side, described OpenAI as “the biggest disappointment of this year”, and heaped praise instead on Mr Musk’s xAI. Women were under-represented in the audience; one female entrepreneur walked out in disgust at the “male energy”.
But top of the hate list was “legacy media”. When your correspondent sought a word with Jason Calacanis, a co-host dressed as a jovial Santa Claus on stage, he flew into a rage, shouting: “Don’t talk to journalists!”. A few minutes later, he threw The Economist out. ■

For a radio receiver it is irrelevant how many interfering signals exist.

The only things that matter are the radiant intensity (i.e. power per solid angle) of the interfering transmitter and the percentage of the time when that transmitter is active.

A single interfering transmitter with high radiant intensity (a.k.a. EIRP) will blind the radio receiver for all the time when it is active.

Doing discovery at a low bit rate is fine, but that means that your fancy phased array antenna cannot achieve any higher distance for communication than an omnidirectional antenna, but it can only increase the achieved bit rate at a given distance.

That would be OK, except that it is achieved by interfering with your neighbors, exactly like when using a transmitter with a higher total power than allowed.

Limiting EIRP is the right thing to do in order to limit the interference that you can cause to your neighbors.

The law does not stop you to use a phased array antenna or any other kind of directive antenna, with the purpose of lowering the power consumption of your transmitter, while maintaining the same quality for your communication and the same interference for your neighbors.

What you want to do, i.e. increase the interference for your neighbors, is the wrong thing to desire. If that were allowed, your neighbors would also increase the radiant intensity of their transmitters and then everybody would have worse reception conditions and you would gain nothing.

The hope that only you will increase your radiant intensity and your neighbors will not, is of course illusory.

> Why is forfeiture of his platform a necessity in your eyes?

I mean, it's not. But he has assets and liabilities, right? Right now his liabilities vastly outweigh his assets. So it's unjust to deny his creditors access to his assets. He can keep his house and a car, I guess. Or whatever is normal/typical assets to be preserved in bankruptcy. But his interest in Infowars is not an inalienable right.

He has free speech, freer speech than any generation before him. He could broadcast a new show from his personal cell phone and it would be dynamite production value compared to AM radio shows that have been used in decades past (and still used today). He can even resume saying things about Sandy Hook victims that he walked back during the trial. He just risks new liabilities if he does that.
I think this sort of usage is already happening, but perhaps in the internal details or uninteresting parts, such as content moderation. Most good LLM products are in fact using many LLM calls under the hood, and I would expect that results from one are influencing which others get used.
