TIM DILLON: We’re not even winning the trash talk war. You’d think America would win that at least, if we’re going to win one thing. Instead, we’re getting bodied by Iranian AI in the war of trash talk. How embarrassing. We invented this, and we’re getting lit up. 😂😂😂

@brianluidog And then you go into a small shop that sells spicy ramen that will make you bleed. Very hard to guess before trying

PSA: here's a convenient guide for Japanese store-bought curry bricks spice level. Make sure to buy the right spicy amount for your taste! 甘口: not spicy at all. 中辛: not spicy at all. 辛口: not spicy at all. Hope this helps. Happy eating!

If there’s one thing I know about PhDs, it’s that they are the best negotiators and very grounded realistic policy makers.

Philippe Lemoine
What if Trump were really playing 4D chess, but instead of being a China hawk as Hudson Institute types assume, he was actually Lemoine-pilled on the idiocy of geopolitics and was covertly working to make Chinese regional hegemony so inevitable that it's pointless for the US to even try to prevent it, thereby saving the world from a conflict that would be not only pointless but also incredibly wasteful?

@brianluidog @AndyMasley Yeah, there is a bit of lack of perspective from tech playing the victim, when you see how a certain part of tech reacted to Biden because of raising taxes.

@Austen The Internet did not eliminate middlemen and we're 30 years in. It did however create new middles and expanding both sides of their markets.

@finbarrtimbers I also believe it was key to make python popular for science because multithreading at the c boundary was opt in. A lot of scientific code was just not thread safe (or even re entrant), especially Fortran.

The GIL primarily exists to make CPython’s memory management thread-safe. It has also become a load-bearing part of Python's API, as, in a classic example of Hyrum's Law (hyrumslaw.com), much Python code relies on the thread safety that it has created.

I wrote about the GIL, a source of perennial confusion in high-performance Python, as I found myself confused by how, exactly, it works. finbarr.ca/what-is-the-gi…

As AI reasoning gets good enough, we think memory will be the next bottleneck for agents. Can your agent improve with more experience? We call this Memory Scaling, and it's related but different from continual learning. A few examples and challenges: databricks.com/blog/memory-sc…

Passionnant essai, un peu pessimiste, certes, mais comme toujours chez @brunopatino c'est un pessimisme stimulant, jamais rabougri, en sollicitant maints exemples du passé (remarquable chapitre sur Gutenberg) et du présent. D'une intelligence pas du tout artificielle, donc.
