Humanity only survives if it matches every advancement in technology with a deepening of the soul. Without clarity about ethics, without sensitivity to truth and beauty, we will quickly lose ourselves in a heartless hellscape of digital minds. Teach the humanities and the arts.

Out of everything that is driving me crazy in this moment -- there are many -- the thing at the top is the misunderstanding of the nature of the US debt.

I am begging everyone to understand that a trade deficit is not a bad thing. People seriously hear the word "deficit" and think "bad" and then yada yada yada we lose $6 trillion in one day.

So, I once again gave LLM-assisted programming a go. Models are definitely much better than the last time I tried this a year ago. Whereas last year it was at best a net neutral, LLMs are definitely useful now -- with some massive caveats.
