Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I didn't get to bid in an auction. Providers bid until they had enough then the price was fixed based on the most expensive source.

We also designated a windy chunk of government land next to my city to private wind energy. Besides land it needed a bit of subsidee to spin them up.

Big turbines happened that provide enough power to run the city.

Not that the city didn't have the money to do it themselves. Its dwellers could also easily afford it. That's just not how things work around here.

Mysterious actors blew up some pipeline some place in the north and the highest bit went up dramatically.

It didn't fail, people just couldn't pay their bills anymore.

The market was very good at increasing profit when demand was larger than supply.

One could imagine worse circumstances with a larger effect.
And I did understand you. Point was that "fast enough" is definitely not good enough for a lot of other use cases, nothing else. If anything, that's kind of reinforcing your point. :)

> I ask the question, what is 2 * 2, which is an obviously loaded question that's pattern matched to death.

Yeah, that was my point. Small codomain -> easy to validate. Large codomain -> open to interpretation. You implied that to prove reasoning, pick a prompt with a large codomain and if the LLM answers with accurate precision, then viola, reasoning.

So my question was, can you give an example of a prompt with a high codomain that isn't subject to wide interpretation? It seems the wider the codomain the easier it is to say, "look! reasoning!"
> And as a layman, I would generally assume that means anyone working for government in any part of this country could generally access that info one way or another.

I doubt it.
Hope not - I haven't purchased a Nestle brand in years for this exact reason.
Here's a bridging argument b/w the OPs and the commenters.

Anglo-Saxon thought (utilitarianism, behaviorism, pragmatism) treats truth as probability. If an LLM outputs the right tokens in the right order, that’s thinking. If it predicts true statements better than humans, that’s knowledge. The Turing Test? Behaviorist by design. Bayesian inference? A formalization of Anglo empiricism.

Continental philosophy rejects this. Heidegger: no Dasein, no being. Sartre: no self-awareness, no thought. Derrida: no deconstruction, no meaning. The German Idealists would outright laugh.

So in the Anglo tradition, LLMs are already "thinking." In the French/German view, they’re an epistemic trick — a probabilistic mirror, not a mind.

It’s not what LLMs are, it’s how your epistemic tradition defines “thinking.” And that’s probably why the EU is so "lagging behind" in the AI race — no amount of quacking makes an LLM a duck to a Continental. It’s still a parrot.

Where you land in this debate is easy to test: Are you comfortable with the statement, "Truth is just what’s most probable given what we already know"?
>does not have a preferred airline company because my choice of operator depends on destination and availability

That's certainly the line that can't be compromised, ultimately you fly because you wanna get somewhere. But finding and choosing favorite airline(s) has many perks that aren't easily quantifiable, enough that many frequent flyers choose to focus their patronage for those benefits.

I'm personally a Delta fanboi because Northwest was my childhood airline on family vacations. My Delta SkyMiles account goes all the way back to 1998 when my dad opened it for me as a kid, back then it was Northwest WorldPerks.

Small tangent story: Delta SkyMiles was instrumental in my getting an AMEX credit card as my second ever card with merely 6 months credit history as a literal newcomer nobody to the credit world. It's been my favorite card to carry ever since.

I'll have to find the commentary by Sam Harris, I think it'd be interesting. I thought this post by Philip Low, founder of NeuroVigil, a Neuralink competitor, was very insightful and interesting: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7288439...
Btw by private info though, I just meant you need to actually create an account to use Zelle, PayPal, cash app, Apple Pay, etc. The account number isn’t as big a deal, just that it is annoying to have to make an account and agree to a 200-page EULA, with a random third party company you didn’t choose, just to receive some money you’re owed.

Twitter owns some shares in xAI . This has made the value of twitter debt improve from 55-60 cents to as high as 90 cents on the dollar according to some reports.

While other factors may be involved, that debt is shopped around assuming there are bankable assets in that DC and GPUs which are quite valuable even if the either company goes sideways.
Honestly I don’t think anyone knows what the future will look like. The changes are very big and real, and I wouldn’t take them lightly.

Still it’s unclear whether it means more CS jobs or fewer.

I suspect having a strong CS background will have benefits and open interesting paths either way.
Due to the restrictions (short term at least) when it comes to training data and availability of documentation, I believe coding in a new language or framework becomes an even bigger mountain than usual due to chatGPT providing misleading information.

This is made worse if there are breaking changes in a new release that you are using. Even when the thing is popular, like Svelte, it was giving me outdated information before the introduction of Runes that often led to deadend packages or solutions that resulted in odd performance.

I'm sure eventually it'll be resolved, but ultimately I would only recommend people sticking to more traditional languages and frameworks that have been around for many years now and are relatively unchanging in order to benefit from chatGPT. Basically, the more projects you find using that thing on github, the better your outcome is going to be with current LLMs.
That is a very small portion of your generation, whatever generation.

Most people don’t have enough money for that lifestyle.

A significant chunk of human knowledge is not publicly accessible. You cannot self-teach how to make a modern aircraft, jet engine, nuclear reactor, radar tech, advanced metallurgy etc.

Similarly, I would wager most of the useful economics and financial theory that humans have come up with is only known to hedge or prop trading firms.

For some subjects, the entire journal-published academic body of knowledge for it is probably some useless fraction of the whole and university academia is operating nowhere close to the cutting edge. People are probably doing PhDs today on theses that some defense contractor or HFT firm already discovered 20 years ago.

Even things like specialized medical knowledge, I would wager is largely passed down through mentor-mentee tradition and/or private notes as opposed to textbooks. It's unlikely that you can teach yourself how to do surgery just from textbooks. I once had a pathologist's report use a term for a skin condition that was quite literally ungoogleable. The skin condition itself was fairly ordinary, but the term used was outright esoteric and yet probably used on a daily basis by that pathologist. Where did he learn it from?

Not everything is on the Internet.
The first time I saw the WWW was on an Apollo workstation running NCSA Mosaic.

This was at Portsmouth Uni in the UK. Those were all replaced with HP PA-RISC workstations after HP bought Apollo.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. I mean, I think you know that when a VPS goes down, you have downtime. If you don’t have a mechanism to automatically restart it, then you restart it manually.

There are relatively few SaaS products that actually need five nines of uptime.

And sure, you might think one approach is silly, but that’s just your opinion. The fact that there are plenty of startups not doing things the specific way you personally think they should be done is not a matter of opinion.
The paper gives a relative population loss between 1150 and 1500 CE of ~30%, with caveats.
You hear about this stuff because it's notable. Almost 100% of the time, if you disregard what other people have done, you are going to waste a lot of time.
I was able to reproduce the vote skew / batch size correlation in early voting. The average batch size for mail voting was way higher (6 machines) and election day was lower (3x machines). The fact that the vote ratio is more distributed for mail voting with way more votes per machine is what highlights incongruity for me. Stats are not always intuitive though.
Nobody has replicated 9/11, and to my knowledge, nobody has tried. If it's so easy to do so, then the perception of safety must be working great!

To be effective, safety measures don't have to block people who are smart and wouldn't commit the crime anyway. They only have to block the people dumb enough to do it.
Could you explain in non-specialist language how similarities between these modern languages now has anything to do with their relationship from some earliest common ancestor? How is that explanation better than convergent evolution or overfitting hallucinations?

When I look at the difference between modern and “old English” they seem to have changed quite a bit [0]. When I read an etymological explanation [1], it sounds like a just so story.

I've been searching for something like https://go-app.dev/ for years and never knew it existed. I wonder what else I'm missing.
WASM makes sense for certain niche use cases but it's really absurd just to make a regular web app.

This is an app made with go-app and it loads 3.6MB of WASM code for a simple media player.

It's not much different for Blazor. Even for a simple app you're looking at an initial load of at least +1MB.
The hilarious outcome? Americans eventually build something they consider "smarter" than themselves — French philosophers agree, but only because it lets them place themselves one step higher.
It's not named after 'us'.

All those in America (South, North, Central) are called Americans.

I spent several years in Paraguay where I met a lot of South Americans.

Mexicans are North Americans and the 'Gulf of America' is more inclusive considering 1/2 of the land mass touching it belongs to the US.
This was so cool to read. I often think in English names are black boxes that doesn’t have deeper meaning (unlike Chinese where names often have literal meaning), so the insight here was great. And in hindsight mostly obvious, but I had never thought of them that way before. Nice find!

If we're talking conscious thought, millions of simultaneously firing neurons to form words. If we're unconscious intelligence, it's closer to latent space. A lot of intelligence that can't be articulated.
It's partly because a large number of people smugly hold such a simplistic, stupid and completely unreflective view of the guy and the political/social currents he's both ridden and manipulated, that he has been able to get so far in politics. Trump is all kinds of unpleasant things, but a screaming orangutan of rage and stupidity he isn't.

Even as it stands, his entire political career since 2016 is a very unique chapter in U.S. political history, which will be judged as such in many complex ways across the coming decades. This is not simply the result of an incredible number of coincidences favoring a complete, screaming idiot.

This does not sound right. Maybe venture capital funds work this way? (I wouldn't know about them.)

But with regular hedge funds, you are joining a portfolio and you do get the return even on the positions that were in place at the time you invested. The only differences between investors that may affect the return that is allocated to them are a) their share classes, which may affect investment terms such as fees or withdrawal rights, and b) their respective high watermarks, which may affect the payment of performance fees. Everything else within the same fund will be the same.

It seems like Apple wants to push Apple Intelligence (with all its flaws) to all the devices it has deemed worthy of using it. The increase in this kind of user hostile behavior and dark patterns aren’t going to help the company.

Tangentially, I think Apple could gain a lot by employing Jeff Johnson (the author of this and other posts) for improving the user experience of its products and services. I’m not sure if Jeff would find it fulfilling though.
Exactly. I think some of the things in Trump/Musk’s crosshairs are legitimately a waste of money and focus, and if worth having, would be better controlled by the more accountable state level. Some, like CFPB, are obviously much better off not being deleted, but tbh the things anyone can make a convincing case for, can just be reestablished later, without the sprawling cruft they’ve accumulated in 25-90 years of existence.

I do wish it was someone smarter doing this, but only a President already hated by all the elites could do this degree of upheaval and get away with it.
The attempt is commendable, but the agency problem is well understood and none of these alternative structures have really solve for it.

It's just more examples of enshittification over the decades. Nevermind the checkin, the premiums for first class are absurd (and nowadays there's at least 4 different tiers of flight, not just 2), you don't get free snacks anymore, seating is smaller, etc. Those times of treating customers with respected ended quite a while ago (except during COVID of course. But that's mostly over).
The nosedive would also throw the hijacker up to the ceiling and/or backwards with a good chance of knocking him out or at least giving him a nasty concussion.
For the situation where the hijacker can actually control the plane, I'd imagine the US military now has a more proper response and will be able to scramble jet in time to shoot down the plane (they didn't have such plan for domestic situation in 2001).

Are you applying with other cofounders? Deciding not to go will affect them, too.

My point is that if you pull your name will not be listed. And your cofounders will probably not be listed either, as YC will likely pull the invite if a cofounder chooses not to accept. I would make sure your cofounders know you are undecided.

And what is the thing about YC posting acceptances? I was not aware they do it.
Full disclosure: I retired from Apple several years ago — but I'm going to call it a bug.

I am very tired of the dark patterns used by all these monopolies. Windows pushing Edge. Apple trying to make me use Siri or subscribe to their game service. Google pushing Gemini. Enough is enough. We need new antitrust laws.
I'm really not sure where this sub-thread has gone.

My point is that moving manufacturing to China is not done at the government-level; it's a very smart move by business to break the unions in manufacturing while also increasing the current profit margin. Even if the American workers tried to move to China you wouldn't hire them because they're in a union so its pointless for them to moving (ignoring practical issues like language/family network/etc).

---

> Shouldn’t we be trying to (have local manufacturing) to reach the goal of a better life for our people, rather than sacrificing that life in order to (have local manufacturing)?

This is a false dichotomy. Manufacturing jobs while not as cushy as sitting in an office chair do not need to be deadly. There have been a ton of advances in robotics that allow you to be in significantly less harms way compared to the days of when you use children to repair equipment because their fingers fit in between the blades better.

I wouldn't be surprised if most manufacturing jobs had a lower mortality than dating while female.
China requires that pledge for basically anyone with power or wealth. For example, they added a new law, forcing all of the AI companies in China (like DeepSeek) to uphold socialist values and all that. And TikTok, which they pretend is a separate company from ByteDance based in Singapore, forces US executives to sign a pro CCP pledge as well:

https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/14/tiktok-forced-staff-oaths...

This is why tariffs, divestment from China, and divestment of Chinese ownership in American companies or land is important. I also think it is reasonable to treat such pledges made by American residents to a foreign government as treasonous.
IME, the productivity promise falls short. I have found major gains following an integrated framework over multiple code bases with the same language.

> I remember as a kid in the 90s you could do a little metal detector, and sometimes not even that, and get on a plane.

If you were picking someone up, you could also park in short-term parking, go all the way in to their arrival gate and meet them as they got off the plane, help them with their bags or just accompany them to your car. No fooling around with trying to time your arrival in the driveway or hanging out there blocking other traffic waiting for your party to appear and figure out where your car is.
I kinda meant — where are the adults leading our country, running our corporations ... but I get your point too.
I think my quip about the toy flew over a lot of heads, so I appreciate that someone got it.

The reality is that most applications and websites don’t expose enough context about the what of what you’re actually doing for AIs to be able to meaningfully infer from natural language the steps required to complete a given task.

We humans are very good at filling in the blanks based on if we’re working in Photoshop or VS Code or Excel. We infer a lot of context from the specific files we’re working on or the particular client or even the files’ organization within the file system, or even what month or day it is.

I am skeptical that models will be able to replicate a complex workflow when there’s very little in the way of labels and UI controls even visible.

I know a weekly spreadsheet from a monthly and quarterly, etc. I know the minutiae about which options to use to generate the specific source reports, etc.

Workflows can be quite complex, no matter your role.

I mean I can just see it now: gift receipts being sent to the recipient before their birthday, internal draft proposals prematurely sent to clients, mixing up clients or commingling their data, overwriting or losing data; this whole thing just screams disaster. And I’m not even thinking about people involved with safety, or finance, or legal/regultory, or medical. Law enforcement?

This kind of thing can be done properly with well defined interfaces, common standards, and reasonable and prudent guardrails.

But it won’t be. It’ll be YOLOed on a paper thin training budget and it’ll be like your own little personal chaos monkey on ketamine.
Corporate DEI is virtue signaling, evident by how many large companies are backpedalling with haste now that it's no longer being pushed on them by government policies.

DEI which emphasizes traits people are born with (race, gender, etc) is harmful for companies and individuals, penalising successful companies by burdening them with sub-par workers who have to be hired to fulfill a quota instead of because they'll add to the company. It also penalises talented and/or hardworking individuals who don't meet the DEI criteria by blocking them from jobs and saddling the few who have to be kept with the full load of keeping the company going whilst the people who "look right" attempt to fill their roles.

I'm all for equity. I don't believe in discrimination. DEI is discrimination - just socially and governmentally sanctioned. I want to help people up too - but that's not achieved by showing everyone that ability and experience are trumped by rainbow hair or whether or not you have a penis (and for how long).
If you don’t like it, there are more options than sitting around for four years hoping another bought and paid for candidate in the two party state will be better.
