Gregor and Magnus, the only thing I want in the world is an agent that removes all of the bad from the web:

- No more ads. No more banner ads. No more Google search ads. No more promoted stories. No more submarine ads.

- No more spam. Low quality content is nuked.

- No more clickbait. Inauthentic headlines from dubious sources are removed.

- No more rage comments. Angry commenters are muted. I have enough to worry about in my day.

- No more low-information comments. All the "Same." and "Nice." and low informational comments are removed to help me focus.

An agent of the future is there to preserve my precious time and attention. It will safeguard it to a level never before seen, even if it threatens the very business model the internet's consumer tools are based on. You work for me. You help me. Google, Reddit, et al. are adversarial relationships.

In the future, advertisers pay me for the privilege of pitching me. No ad reaches me without my consent or payment.

Please fix the internet. We've waited thirty years for this.

A study on problem-solving interactions with ChatGPT
The only video I saw of this happening seemed to be in a text conversation where they were previously talking about politics. I don't know how Apple's transcription works but it might have jumped the gun simply because the guy talks about politics a lot + something about his voice.

I see no indication that this is an ubiquitous issue.
I grew up in a household with two loving but alcoholic parents. I have resisted the temptation of treating that as determinative of my own psyche, but it did set me up to some extent to view myself as someone who was without agency.

I have not sought counselling about it, but two mind hacks have been helpful to me.

First, are the notions of the inner child and inner adult. The idea is that when you are feeling passive and powerless and indecisive, you are reverting to how you felt as a child. Making a conscious effort to imagine your situation from an adult perspective (and even contrasting in your mind how your adult persona and your child persona view the situation at hand) can be very helpful.

The second hack is to imagine that a good friend is asking for your help in dealing with his or her own sense that they lack agency. What would you say to that friend? The power of this technique is that we all tend to rise to the occasion when called upon to help a friend. We will want to convey confidence that our friend can indeed get the better of this debilitating attitude.

Yeah, is this a resignation? I'm guessing so from the context, but it's not that clear.
It is a carbon-carbon battery right? Calling it just paper... when normally a battery name refers to the electrode or electrolyte chemistry is kind of confusing.

I remember making the carbon inks was expensive but they must have figured it out for it to beat lithium now. Everything shown still looks like sample sheet batteries, no other form factor, roll, tube, stack, etc. Curious if the power density is sufficient that you can stuff those into existing lithium cell sizes or if you will need sonething larger.

President Trump is neither Biden nor Harris, and is nothing resembling a "free speech" ideological purist. He is an extremely powerful and temperamental man, who is extremely quick to use his power against those who he perceives to be his enemies.
Correct, they are a part of WASI. Indeed, different things, but well, tightly related. Made sense to talk about them given the chat on bridging gaps in bazel using WASM.
Book wealth is in Tesla. SpaceX is private but represents a large amount of inherent wealth that he could borrow against.

SpaceX will be hard to disentangle from Musk. The sad fact is that it needs to be torn down as well. Musk has already started this in the last week with the war of words with the ISS astronauts and the cancellation of the NASA next gen rockets.

He also is saber rattling the Ukrainians with Starlink service dismissal. This highlights to world governments that a Starlink competitor is a top security priority.

Sure Musk gets four years to tear apart NASA, but that will have a lot of consequences. I predict that Bezos's rocket companies and others will start to get substantial support from EU and japanese and other funding sources.

Musk may in theory become radioactive enough that SpaceX loses private and world government contracts that it gets seriously crunched even with preferential treatment from the Trump administration.

If I were the EU, I would drop billions of dollars to pick off as many SpaceX rocket engineers as possible and relocate them to the EU and have them recreate SpaceX rockets in a european company. Kick off the inevitable economic cold war between the EU and USA. Heck, you can relocate them to Vancouver, I'm sure Canada would play ball at this point.

I was a starlink customer practically from day one, and I'm cancelling my service this month. It's sad.

The Allocation Of Talent And U.S. Economic Growth (2013) [pdf]
It doesn’t seem like we’ve established ethical norms for AI yet, but like what’s the difference between:

Google removing a search result that says Sundar Pichai spreads misinformation

Twitter removing a tweet saying Elon Musk spreads disinformation

OpenAI tuning ChatGPT to not say that Sam Altman spreads disinformation.

Wikipedia changing an article that says that Jimmy Wales spreads disinformation.

Seems like there are lots of potential, I don’t know if you want to call them free speech issues, but maybe that’s the question, is there any way to assess if you’re censoring AI vs tuning it towards truth? Obviously easier with more objective than subjective topics.
I have no idea where these people live where they're getting food sntached by rogue bald eagles but here in Virginia these damn red-tailed hawks are thugs. I have to throw a frisbee for my over zealous eighty pound doberman and these hawks try to swoop in to snatch her toy. Happens in the spring\early summer. She barked at one last year and it literally shat on her from the tree's. And what I find strange is these hawks are in groups when they do this. Never seen any other raptor species gang up like these hawks.
The thing is, the actual value of ownership the TSLA represents in way over valued. At $100/share a market cap of ~$300B would be set, which is still over valued for a mid sized car manufacturer with a distressed brand. The $200B required to secure a 2/3 majority it would take at $100/share could be better invested else where in the automotive industry.

The reason for the current high valuation is because people were betting Tesla would be first to another major tech innovation. Self driving taxis, or electric 18-wheel trucks, or some other new market. The more time Elon spends in Washington DC, the slower Tesla is going to be at realizing these advancements.

For $200B you would have a decent shot of actually making a major tech leap in automative and partnering with an existing manufacturer.
I don't mean to single your comment out, but i feel like this is a line of argument i see frequently that I don't think has merit. Like, sure "love your pro-social company or your gadget that allows you to do a more effective activism that helps people" is maybe theoretically possible but come on.

in 99.99999999% of cases people loving a company or a gadget is bad and it's not particularly nuanced or complicated. Why must people (or just engineers?) fixate on some weird imaginary possibility edge case instead of just accepting the statement as "true".

Is it pedantry, cope or something else i'm missing?
AllMind AI: Transform Your Trading with 92% Stock Price Prediction Accuracy
Last week AllMind AI V2 had its first public showcase as we presented to over 200+ different executives and VCs across Canada.
We also showed our RHO model, which was able to predict the largest move in US Stock History: the Nvidia fall on the 27th of January 2025. This model has the capability of predicting stock movements with up to 92% accuracy. For the past few months we have been working on AllMind AI V2, and it's finally ready. We started running private betas for AllMind AI earlier this month and have already onboarded ~20 portfolio managers, with our largest client to date being a Portfolio Manager managing over 10 billion in AUM. 1000 LLM tools for finance can be found with a simple Google search. AllMind AI is different because we have built technology which actually works and doesn't rely on a RAG architecture along with GPT-4o, which can be built in a lunch break. This is something real which is helping people today, we are not a gimmicky chatbot, we are the tool which helps predict tomorrow's financial markets today.

We will be releasing the public version of AllMind AI V2 for everyone VERY SOON! Here is a sneak peak of what we have (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1xJelhZ6dU&t)

If you are excited to try AllMind AI you can email anwaarmalik@allmindinvestments.com
this seems to follow the similar FNO work by nvidia, and switching to frequency domain is usually in any computer scientist's toolbox at this point, however, I'm curious if this translates to real gains for real architectures. FFT makes use of imaginary numbers to encode the harmonics of the signal, these are generally not amenable to gpu architectures. Would fast walsh hadamard suffice? Sometimes the 'signal mixing' is more important than the harmonics of a compositions of sines. Or do we go further down the rabbit hole of trained transformation and try out wavelets? I am an avid FFT fan, (love fast johnson lindenstrauss transform using the embedded uncertainty principle for RIP), but sometimes real hardware and good theory dont always align (eg there are sub ternary matrix multiplies, but they are rarely used in DL)
"2 years ago UpWork was surprisingly good for finding projects, these days there is lots of AI stuff coming from freelancers when they apply and I’m not so sure anymore "

I get one good client on Upwork a year. 99% of the clients I've found are either unwilling to pay market rates, are subcontracting out before they actually landed the project (had lots of initial meetings and then suddenly they didn't get the project, final meeting fell through), or are trying to build up a team first, with no clients (I had 2 of these already this year).

We are under no threat of that in the US. The UN is 100% ineffective anyway, they can't even stop or slow down Israel.

While you are leaving alpha on the table, I don't think that has to be a hindrance until you hit a massive scale depending on how you define ethical. There's always alpha in becoming an experts in some vertical to invest in, just choose a non-controversial vertical and you're already most of the way there. Keep in mind that all the big players have lines in the sand to some degree and often refuse to work with "sin industries", they're leaving alpha on the table too.
Usually funding agencies do not fund people with no track record of publishing. If you haven't published your results (or even any prior work) publicly before, why do you expect companies to fund you?

Did you mean a bum bag?
I am a physicist but I think he is more or less technically correct. We have photos of black hole like objects but no evidence that they conform to the object described in general relativity except in broad terms. There are the obvious issues with quantization, for example, but there are also multiple ways we can formulate GR-style theories which give different black-hole solutions which have not yet been disambiguated by experiment.

I don't think there is any harm really in calling the objects we have "taken photographs of" (these images are model dependent, so to call them photographs is a bit of a stretch) "black holes," but if we want to be totally precise a black hole is a specific concept in GR, a theory which most people think is incomplete, and we have only found some correspondences between that theoretical object and some observations in the world.

It is an interesting exercise to apply this sort of thinking to (for example) electrons. Do we know electrons exist? In an informal sense, obviously, but in a more detailed sense I would argue care must be taken. We know that QED, for example, is not renormalizable, and thus we ought to be careful to distinguish the notion of "QED electrons" from "Standard Model Electrons" from "the things that leave exposures on our detectors."

But we do know considerably more about the qualities of the physical objects we measure and call electrons than we know about the qualities of the physical objects we measure and call black holes. I don't think its unreasonable to be careful about these things.

My real question is: Is there any asset manager who does not have an ESG program in 2025?

Even a small PE shop I personally know is launching an ESG fund this year (asian credit ESG fund). Everyone seems to be a PRI signatory nowadays.
Employees often are not particularly motivated by the company's bottom line.

It isn't hard to imagine a lower-level developer adding an entry like this to a substitution database because they were particularly frustrated with Trump. And it isn't hard to imagine a change like that flying under the radar, especially if it was done as part of a large number of changes.

That seems a much more plausible explanation to me than "phonetic overlap" or intentional direction from Apple's leadership.

Deep Research, the art of VC, and "wisdom"
For better or worse, thanks to emoji Zero Width Joiner support [1], we're well on our way to there being more than 4 billion potential Unicode "characters". 4 billion is only 32 bits and you start spending a few bits here on hair style and a few bits there on skin color and a few bits on "misc" and then allow arbitrary combinations of them into composite families [2] and you can burn through 32-bits fairly quickly.

I don't think we're there yet. I think if someone did make a complete list of "valid" emoji right now, which for the sake of argument I'll call "formally defined in the Unicode standard", it would even on an absolute scale look like we're a long ways away from a full 32-bits of valid combinations. But you have to think of this on the log scale because this is about "bits" and those four-person families are already quite a long ways along to a full 32 bits. It wouldn't take much more customization, or the formal addition of more people in a group, to get there.

And someone who knows more about Unicode than I do may be able to establish that there are already in the standard ways to get to more than 32 bits' worth of data in a single standardized glyph; I certainly wouldn't bet much against that already being true.

(Personally, I'll go with "worse". In hindsight, we should probably have frozen Unicode into the original Docomo (and the other phone company that had them) emoji necessary for interoperability, and then created the emoji as an extension into Unicode. It seems like it would be useful to "support Unicode" without having to come with the complete understanding of what is increasingly the most complicated "language" in Unicode; forget doing good Arabic rendering or trying to understand an ideographic language, the emojis blow all that complexity away now. But here we are.)

I imagine it would be sufficient to show that he had to spend time or money analyzing the security impact of the event.
Maybe. But I wouldn't count those political chickens before they hatch.

Health insurance is a funny thing. Most people, most of the time, don't really use it. You can't even really be sure you have it. People only find out about the limitations of their insurance when it's too late.

There is a very old joke that a Democrat is a Republican who got sick. If they don't happen to already be sick, or become sick soon, this could work for them.

So you could wipe out Medicaid entirely, and tens of millions of enrollees would say "Eh, turns out it's not so bad". Millions would of course suffer greatly, but many of them weren't going to vote for you anyway.

And on the plus side, hundreds of millions not enrolled in Medicaid would say, "Hey, lookit the deficit go down!" Some would even get a tax break (though the ones most likely to get a tax break are already voting Republican).

That's if you eliminated it. "Gutting" it would shift more people from the former category to the latter. They would get enough Medicaid between now and 2028, and that's all that's needed.

There's certainly a risk that it won't be seen that way, but it could well be a risk worth taking. If they can get Republicans in Congress to unite on some variant of this, they can make a big slash in the budget without losing control.

Are you serious? That's like saying expecting people to stay healthy while eating every meal out of a garbage dumpster is laughable. The solution isn't to change the content, it's to stop eating out of a garbage dumpster. And yes, I think you should exercise the self control to not overconsume things, whether it's information or ice cream. If you bombard yourself with more information than you can critically process then that's a "you" problem.

"Such as no job security, or severance packages, feast and famine cycles?"

I've never had job security or severance package beyond a few weeks. The best job security I have is always having multiple clients, so if one drops me (or if it's not working for me), I'm not scrambling to find new work.

"But on the other hand you got to be clear about the fact that it's a numbers game, where you lose some win some, unless you can always aquire new work through your network, and can temper times of economical uncertainty (anyone that started only during the 2020's till today knows how fluctuating the market has been). I've had a couple multi-month downtimes when the markets where uncertain, 2020 first 6 months, 2022 during the EU energy crisis, and 2023 when companies where shedding the extra pandemic hires in drowes."
