@thenightshipper i'd add the outcome check: the behavior requested, the expected and observed result, and the failure path tried. a diff shows what changed, but it doesn't show whether the product works
@ericweinstein the problem with this mindset is that it allows stupidity to be justified as risk, so your contrarianism better be really good at not being stupid.
but we know how that turned out here.
Sadly, the GOP is no longer the party of merit, free markets, and the American Dream. It's the party of nativist bigotry, tariffs, deportations, government control of the economy, and "postliberal" authoritarianism.
Many thanks to Brian Krassenstein!
“The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.
You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.
And then you come home.
You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.
And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.
I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.
I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.
Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.
Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.
America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.
So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.
Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.
Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t”

Listen, you can come at me all you want, but this administration is actively pushing a very clear agenda to make it impossible for Indian Americans to “assimilate” into American culture as it stands today. The word assimilate has lost all meaning.
Cheering on your favorite football team storming back from a 20 pt deficit in the 4th Quarter against the no. 1 team in the country is an American fever dream that stays with you forever. You’ll talk about it with friends 20 years from now. We, as Americans, all have a memory of our football team staging an improbable comeback and winning in the final seconds to thunderous cheering. That’s Shared Values, literally.
Republicans continue to not do themselves any favors by standing on these identity politics to keep Indian Americans from enjoying American culture with our compatriots. Those Indian American students are US citizens (some are even Christians!) and fully assimilated into American culture. The precedent being set is, if you are visibly Indian, you will not be welcome in our American spaces.
We must vehemently strike this down and ensure that colorism doesn’t override shared values. This is the line in the sand that has been crossed multiple times, and it isn’t looking good for November.
The Midterms are 2 months away.
this is it. this is the first production-level step to true AI.
we're going to actually be able to tune neuron weights in realtime with this when applied in layers.
not to mention the myriad of regular applications this will completely revolutionize. exciting times.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution
The biggest mistake in American history was not dragging Trump off to prison within 24 hours of January 6th. And we'll pay for that for the rest of our lives.
