I've been reading Marx for a long time. Everything you've said in this comment is utterly wild.
Obviously there isn't a hidden corpus of logs of coding chatbot assistants that has been accumulating over the years, but these coding chatbot assistants output tokens that resemble how we all imagined a coding chatbot…
Why not?
Because the web browser was burdened with the role of application host, and not just presentation of static content. There's no going backwards.
No problem.
Why is it so hard to believe that Jarred Sumner, a self-described "Thiel Fellow and a high school dropout", had values aligned with Anthropic's before Bun was approached for acquisition? It's not like Claude was an…
Some shame is good and other shame is bad. Some guilt/shame is indicative of the development of the self, other guilt/shame is a cause and effect of stunted development of the self. I like Winnicott on this: > How…
The issue is not primarily psychological attachment to objects, but that private labor (labor carried out independently by separate producers, whose social validity is only realized through exchange) takes on the…
I agree. I think Stardew Valley is an exhibition of pastoral fascism disguised as a liberal cozy game. A highly mystifying piece of art. I would give it more leeway if it weren't the fact that its utopian imagination is…
The reason Marx developed the more advanced category of commodity fetishism was, in a way, to expose the real alienation in the fantasy that one could opt out of "alienation" by becoming a baker, bike repairman, etc.…
You wouldn't need such a modern privacy rule if it weren't for the need for information portability in the digital age. The distinction between whether or not portability or privacy is primary in the law kind of doesn't…
No, it's that I think Thiel and Obama are both evil, even if the former is cartoonishly so and the latter is a gentleman. Both separatism (itself plain evil) and multiculturalism (itself morally relativistic) are…
No, we read the same book, just in different ways. I'm interested in a symptomatic reading. To complain that Peter Thiel read Lord of the Rings incorrectly because he drew inspiration in Sauron instead of Gandalf is…
Yeah, the author is claiming that Tolkien had a radical message: the palantir is meant to show us that the knowledge it yields is not neutral, not total, and is dangerous to wield politically. I'm saying that the author…
> ... the betrayal of the legacy of Tolkien ... Today's world is the legacy of Tolkien. We've come to understand the world through the categories of Tolkien, without which we could not bear to act. We can act out a…
The author does not lay out their definition of nurturing explicitly. The most complete definition I can derive from the article is that nurturing is engaged caregiving marked by responsiveness and physical closeness…
Why are you scare-quoting your own words and supposing it is only your interlocutor who is treating them abstractly? Just tell us what you mean. What do you mean by non-threatening? What domains?
Sure, but "every bit as protective and nurturing as the most committed mother" is indeed an overstatement if you believe, as Donald Winnicott did, that there's something qualitatively advantageous about what a mother…
Colonialism blocked endogenous capitalist classes from developing freely in Africa. Internal dynamics should be understood in the context of the actual history of Africa.
HIPAA was introduced to support the massive expansion of the healthcare market (privacy accountability is a very minor aspect of HIPAA). In the name of profit, amidst the chaos, why not try to eschew what was once…
https://wicg.github.io/virtual-scroller/#find-in-page-apis As far as I can tell, this went basically nowhere. Except this: https://github.com/WICG/display-locking…
I know this sounds sarcastic but I really mean it: For years everyone has been monastically extolling some variation of "the best code is deleted code". Now, we have a machine that spits out infinite code that we can…
In the past month, in my spare time, I've built: - A "semantically enhanced" epub-to-markdown converter - A web-based Markdown reader with integrated LLM reading guide generation (https://i.imgur.com/ledMTXw.png) - A…
Unfortunately, the market seems to have produced horrors by way of naturally thinking agents, instead. I wish that, for all these years of prehistoric wretchedness, we would have had AI to blame. Many more years in the…
