why is it news that a guy quits when his boss changes, and a company doesn't do enough to criticize itself? the internet is flooded with information about the risk that AI poses to jobs. cunningham now works at one of…
The political changes that lead to the talent exodus from Goettingen are not, in fact, so different from the ideological oaths required by much of US academia now, and seem to me to be a great way to eliminate our…

It's just pure sexism, an exercise in performative feminism. More absurdly, these people appear to have no idea how the dead researchers they feature actually thought. No archival references or citations to work in the…
The funniest part of the OpenAI post is where someone comes in breathlessly and says "hey have you read this ACX post on why we shouldn't open source AGI" to the guy who's literally been warning everybody about AGI for…
Some form of at least partial superiority is inherent in the notion of "helping", as is a power dynamic. You say that your colleague's diversity-focused activity gets results, and my question is: what results? A more…
A "sincere desire to help" is a form of self-validation, a move to serve the socially ambitious, and a show of power, in that "helping" implies superiority. It would be great if educators they could separate the search…
University faculty-activists are a perfect example of elite overproduction a la Turchin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_overproduction We create small, smart cadres of people who watch power and wealth pass them…
No kidding. As they say on Twitter: "What did you think decolonization meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?" Racialism is the stovepipe for the revolution.
Great answer. Thank you.
The brothel (The Cotton Tail Ranch) closed many years ago. Another neat thing about the "bus stop" was that the phone booth gave you no way to dial. There was no number pad. You'd pick it up, and the call would go…
TASP was renamed TASS a couple years ago, and it now offers only two seminars: Critical Black Studies and Anti-Oppressive Studies. The program has been taken over by woke radicals both on its board and in the…
It's almost as though your physical surroundings are your true phenotype, creating a whole-brain activation with memory cues that disappear when you leave the room. The edges of the self are blurred.
China runs on Intel chips like everyone else. It's AI researchers beg for Nvidia chips like everyone else. And its mobile companies use Android. Chips that break away from those standards have little chance of success.
I'm surprised by the cluelessness of most replies here, given that this is HN. Hardware is only as useful as the software that can run on it. Radically new hardware requires rewrites of certain layers of that software.…
Software determines whether good hardware succeeds or fails. China has yet to build successful software ecosystems on top of its hardware innovations.
DJI has been delivering payloads in Ukraine for some time now.
When I consider how much specious, fallacy-riddled reasoning is produced by EAs, all hunkered in their AI bomb shelters praying for and against the end, I suspect that the "problem" that Scott's friends face is not…
Anyone interested in the military transformation of Europe and really Eurasia should read John Keegan's excellent "History of Warfare." https://www.amazon.com/History-Warfare-John-Keegan/dp/067973...

This is fantastic. The nursing home industry is dirty and sad, with for-profit groups squeezing every cent they can out of seniors who can't advocate for themselves, out of their families, and ultimately out of the…
Intel spent more than a decade under Otellini, Krzanich and Swan. Bean counters. Gelsinger was appointed out of desperation, but the problem runs much deeper. I doubt that culture is gone. It has already cost Intel many…
Fun fact: More than half of all engineers at NVIDIA are software engineers. Jensen has deliberately and strategically built a powerful software stack on top of his GPUs, and he's spent decades doing it. Until Intel…
Reeks of self-pity. At what point does Monroe own her choices and their consequences? She did have a child while she was economically precarious, and chose to. No one forced her.
