It’s more in his own self-interest to vibe-code a rudimentary solution than to just support a good existing project, sadly.

This is 100% not true. On multiple measures of freedom the US scores around the 75th percentile if I remember correctly; I believe the category is something like “flawed democracy” on the economist’s democracy index, and that’s not even an

First worldwide? Are you on crack? Are you familiar with the country called North Korea? Or Saudi Arabia? As a note, I think you meant authoritarian; authoritative means “preeminent/most trustworthy”

You’ve got mountains of proof at this point. Recent Supreme Court rulings on presidential immunity should be enough.

What terrorist is rooting for a government to eliminate private communication? For one, it makes their activities harder to carry out.

I love how you lumped “I’d like my literal children not to be killed because they might grow up to be ‘terrorists’” in with “death to secular society”

FR lol, people in the US love to talk a big game but most of us take the freedoms for granted and will fold at the drop of a hat when real consequences are on the line

> Neither the Jews nor the Parsis nor the Christians ever made such an argument. The argument that Jews need their own state specifically in the area between Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria is integral to Israel’s politics and history.

>people in the West don't understand how awful radical Islam is Do you remember that time two dozen or so years ago when a couple buildings collapsed in NYC? After some planes rammed into them?

If you’re flying private customs is a joke. And/or your fixer just calls the local governor/embassy/etc.

Except your analogy is asinine, and in this case it would be more like paying rent for 30 years in an apartment but not being on the lease so they unceremoniously kick you out.

If you think that the 1:30 ratio of guns to people in the US is going to stop the government from doing whatever the fuck they want, you are suffering from a potentially terminal case of optimism. I am an ardent believer in “Those who would

I think it’s moreso “if we spend more than one nanosecond on alignment and security instead of frontier intelligence our competitors will beat us to the singularity”. Hence the lack of a pause on development

I’m gonna be totally blindsided if/when the singularity happens cause my BS detector is BROKEN

Especially for openAI, considering they’ve gone so far as volunteering for partial nationalization to curry favor with the current admin

Wow. I have been really put off by seeing some of the vitriol he’s spewed lately, but this is a shockingly engaging and simultaneously thought-provoking talk. I’m totally going to riff on this in the future, for something completely unconne

Shield them long enough to teach them how to defend themselves, maybe?

Idk how that was what you took away from the talk, and I think it says a lot about how you might approach dating, interacting with women, and personal values. He seemingly changed his views/approach to life and dating based on a re-eva

I honestly don’t get what you’re saying. From my limited experience Mr. Kelley often adopts a confrontational stance, sometimes to the point of appearing antagonistic, but I listened past the intro and did not interpret what he said as “rel

You’re talking in general about your faith, when this presenter was talking about their specific experience of being raised by conservative Christian parents. I’m not even Christian, and it’s plain to me that there’s massive variation even

I recommend you spend more time reading about jurisprudence. I’m not sure where you’re based, but in the US, for example, children below even age 13 can make autonomous decisions about their health when it’s determined that they have the ca

Except conservatism, religion, and religious conservatism in particular do not seem to value open-mindedness, discussion and consensus, or a non-judgmental stance. It’s one thing to try and impart your values onto your children—that seems l

Make sure you’re comparing opus high to sol max. That’s where the comparison makes sense

Yeah, sol is impressive but IMO Luna is the real standout (and terra is the laggard of the group) for performance/cost

Are you more on the medicine side or the ML side? I don’t see many other self-admitted medical people on HN.
