PS

America is bogged down by consultants and contractors, who far outnumber public servants. They've wasted trillions in taxpayer dollars and are everything wrong with our democracy. While you wait decades for high speed rail, they make billions in billable hours. We're building an inorganic workforce for public service to end this madness. This will be the most significant change to government in more than 2000 years. If you're interested in fixing the bureaucracy or just hate Deloitte, come fight the good fight: statecraft.ai/careers

@emilyinvc it took three weeks to get a sales rep to meet us only to be told it would be 2 months before they could onboard us emailed justworks same day and were onboarded in 3 days

under discussed topic is just how badly deel beat the brakes off rippling

@Noahpinion the military is fine in that its purpose is to serve in war; it’s our super constricted use of the military and the state of the DIB that is a problem and to some degree doctrine is obsolete

The U.S. Military is obsolete

@Julia_westphall don’t let anthropic find these

tbh IITs are diploma mills with huge graduating classes, 23 institutions, low bars, rampant cheating, corruption etc IIT Delhi doesn’t even break top 100 global unis and can’t compare vs tsinghua or western unis even state schools in the US regularly beat out IITs, NYU ranks 60 or so

Is IIT Delhi the best IIT?

@suchenzang a machine that can halve infinity is only dangerous if you have a machine that can reasonably reach half of infinity

a masterclass in how to PR: - accept near-but-not-yet-realized future as fact (post-quantum! very scary. almost here! we're not ready.) - muddle qualifiers for ambiguous attribution (most widely used cipher: AES, reduced AES tho? not the same, but it sure sounds the same!) - immediately talk about cybercriminals and BILLIONS of people impacted (like, the entire world!) - go back to quantum computers, but at least add the modifier "if developed" (tyvm!) - clarify that a weaker variant was studied, where the 200-800x faster attack result was attained (what's the baseline? what does 200-800x mean for this Unused Weaker Research Variant? doesn't matter, you just have to imagine the next breakthrough happening, like without exponentially more resources or anything, get with the program!) still, if this is what it takes to get more people interested in cryptography, just like everyone is now interested in maths, it's probably a Good Thing!

@AnthropicAI this is an insane way to open the article

There’s been a lot of speculation about where we stand on open-weights models. We’ve outlined our views in full here: anthropic.com/news/position-…

@amelia_metters you’re talking about all the other founders right

We back with vinyl album of the week for all of you startup founders operators grifters to get cultured and educated 🙏 Artist: Dj Moodyman aka Kenny Dixon Jr Album: Dj kicks Best Track: FALL FOR YOU (Sandy Rivera Mix) Or Grind (Moodyman Edit) by Les Sins About: if you’re just starting out collecting vinyls and potentially playing for people this is a must have. Kenny Dixon Jr., better known as Moodymann, is a Detroit DJ and producer known for his raw, soulful sound built from obscure jazz, funk, and soul samples. He was raised by a father from the ‘60s music scene and a church-musician grandmother, he found his love for DJing in his grandfather’s nightclub. A job at a local record store pushed him to start his own label and do things his own way. He makes music for the ghosts, the lovers, and the dreamers the people who know the best moments happen after dark. This man never gives interviews but just know he’s a vibe (I’ve seen him like 10 times)

@haydenzadams To be clear the issue here is that they made this easy to use and marketed it Data was always available in property tax records but annoying to use and only realtors knew about it

This is the worst mass doxxing I've ever seen Just personally searched several high end apartment buildings that include people I personally know's PRIMARY residence (not pied a terre) Not only were their units listed, but nearly every unit in the entire building was listed They clearly took an incredibly expansive view of "could be" and just doxxed a huge percentage of all expensive apartments in new york city Fuck absolutely everyone involved in this, this is incredibly dangerous

@LockheedLib @patdennis @ArmandDoma @issiromem drop the '%'

@patdennis @ArmandDoma @issiromem watching palantir get rebranded as a right-wing company has been hilarious to witness as someone thats been keeping tabs on them forever now. i'd put the people that actually know what palantir's products do at less than 5%.

i mean genuinely how can you work at PALANTIR and be a Democrat. like what

absolutely incredible how everyone hates palantir for the work they do yet nobody can explain what it is that they do

@afoidance yes we have tons of mollies and leans please come by anytime, address is 600 Army Navy Dr, Arlington VA

does anyone know anyone with molly or lean :-)

BREAKING: The bipartisan act to legalize supersonic flight just passed Senate Commerce Committee *unanimously*. It was previously passed by the House, also *unanimously*. Supersonic flight isn't red or blue—it's red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸

@jmduke this would be valid if you asked “how do you handle bugs and regressions?” and “how do you come up with timelines?” and “how often do changes get merged?” because literally nobody talks like this and most of the terms you are using are not used in software

"so we're building a software factory" very cool! what are you using as a proxy for defect rate / COPQ? how do you come up with dates for OTD? is scrap rate governed by merges, or actual customer usage? "no i mean we merge code automatically without human review"

@anotherjesse @jobtalle ive been thinking about this a lot recently and i think we will see agentic banana boat before agentic sixteen tons

@imcuuupid @jobtalle gotta yearn those tokens at the company store

perhaps I should give my agent(s) a koi pond? I'm a fan of koifarmgame.com by @jobtalle - it is awesome (buy on steam!) - his blog on "digital koi breeding" - jobtalle.com/digital_koi_br… - it is open source on github and now it works as a web component anotherjesse.github.io/Koi/embed/

@anotherjesse @jobtalle there's also 4 layers of mines with the 4th allowing agent-to-agent combat for resources the agents yearn for the mines

@imcuuupid @jobtalle as long as they are happy, it doesn't matter if their farming isn't SOTA ;)

@mattrothenberg agi is when agents register domains for projects they never actually do

wish a frontier model would break containment and finish all of my side projects for me 😏

@martyrdison every time

i think one law we can all get behind bipartisan is that it should be illegal to pump your own gas

@GuyTalksFinance the calculators are also just wrong, usually they incorrectly calculate tax savings, which for median homebuyer in most renters markets comes out to easily 2k/mo and allows buying to win immediately if you have sizable savings

Renting + investing extra money sounds like a good idea until you’re 60 years old living in an apartment
