I guess I could comment, fine. 1. A quarter of polled Americans would rather be doing factory stuff. Okay. I do wonder if they know what that means. 2. Biden's job numbers were pretty good, most people knew they were better off than a factory job. But not all!

This video shows the fire damage inside the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion. Governor Shapiro’s reaction to the arson attack is on my timeline.

When Noah Smith writes something substantive I'll be interested. Not until then. This seems like a reasonable standard I hold for a lot of political and economic writers, but I've been told by two different people here I'm "being unfair* by "not hearing him out."

Heterodox thinking and ideological diversity mean using the received prejudices of 100 years ago to analyze all politics through the lens of the 1972 presidential race

I know for a fact I'd love to work a very MODERN factory, because I've worked in one. But the American vision of a sweatshop? No, god know, sucks so bad.

This is a win for animal welfare and makes complete sense if you understand that AI is way more than ChatGPT. There are models precisely tuned for this kind of purpose that, do, in fact, do this stuff well. We've even discovered new classes of antibiotics for the first time in ages with AI.

Finally found a good example of SMT solving for the book! I've been blocked for a while, because while SMT has a lot of uses, all of the easy-to-show examples are toys. But I finally realized a practical example: given some outputs an RNG, reverse-engineering the parameters!

Donald Trump - “Look at all the beautiful tariff money coming in. I am a genius.” U.S. shippers told the news outlet that they have not been charged higher tariff rates on their containers as recently as Thursday, despite Trump’s claims that tariffs are in effect and are being collected. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

This makes me nostalgic for that period in the 70s where the New Deal model of capitalism had become unsustainable, and elements of both the left and right were exploring decentralist/worker-controlled and direct democratic alternatives to large-scale corporate capitalism and statism... 1/?

Elongating skulls is much less weird than these incredibly specific gender ideals being played as universal good.

the entire milieu of SSC/lesswrong distilled into less than 200 characters. the endgame of the entire mode of "rationality" that has been cultivated by special birthday boys who have never known the fear of being beaten within an inch of their life. very epic. very clever. such a funny troll.
