Cynical Publius The stronger your argument, the less afraid you are of people hearing the other side. Censorship is an admission that your position cannot withstand scrutiny.

I think having small friendly interactions with strangers is so important for humanity

The most important thing San Francisco politicians can do to resist Trump is get our own house in order. San Francisco should be a promise of what America can aspire to be, not a cautionary tale for what it must avoid becoming

𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 ⏳ @suicideforclout Rare to see <detailed argument>, <specific counterexamples>, <immediate agreement from OP> on this app. Nice to see when dunking is the default!

Keep warmongers out of government.

Fix immigration and voting, punish lawfare and censorship, wipe out the bureaucracy. Everything else is downstream.

Re the ongoing skilled immigration debate - several things can be true simultaneously: 1. American leadership in science and innovation vitally depends on our ability to attract the best and brightest minds from around the world 2. There are legitimate issues with the H1B

Especially discrete optimization. That’s where the real fun is

That's about 175 million Indians you're prioritizing there. Might want to rewrite the criteria.

Humans are hardwired to copy others by evolution — for a good reason. Mimicking those around us has been the most efficient survival strategy for millions of years. However, the world is different today. We now live in an age of rapid change — what used to be efficient becomes a

Bryan Cheong I used this as an example in a lecture about the notion of “state” in AI algorithms (particularly search and RL). Fully specifying state in chess is a tricky exercise, due to en passant, castling rules, 3-fold repetition, repeated checks, and the 50-move rule

Interestingly, Claude, GPT 4o, Grok, and Gemini all get this wrong Of the models I tried, only o1 gets it right (18s of thinking)

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

It's interesting how something described as "7 out of 10" sounds pretty good while "3.5 out of 5" sounds decidedly bad

Let’s be clear, most of us who’ve been saying “cancel culture is bad” meant let’s not try destroy people over misunderstandings & minor transgressions. It never meant that it’s fine for someone who was posting NeoNazi rhetoric just a month ago to be working in the government.

I had to install an app to use the laundry machines in my building

Nice thread exploring some interesting implications of finite precision and computability theory A lot of seemingly simple things in computer science are actually really, really hard in a fundamental sense

I actually laughed out loud 😂

Interesting issue in 4o - whenever starting a markdown bold with **, the subsequent word has the first two letters repeated (e.g. PrPremier, CrCritical, etc.) Anyone else seeing this recently?

GPT and Claude should have a feature where you can start a new chat initialized with the last W tokens of the current chat
