You get me.

Or, alternatively, we realize that the best use of our time and the best organizing drive is something that extends beyond us into the far future. A great example would be adopting the principle that sapience and sentience should survive the heat death of the universe.

We are a species driven by memetic thoughts that builds a reality through consensus. Having shared goals helps us in that regard.

Likewise. When we talk about being able to use AI tooling to do cool things, this is the type of thing that comes to mind.

So so much AI slop in these posts that usually would be very interesting. I don't like Claude's voice in most situations. The LLMisms stand out like nails on a chalkboard.

Keep tracking and reporting to someone you trust! It can really help to know others are invested in you, whether random internet strangers encouraging you or people in your life you trust.

It can't. As others pointed out, its the wrong layer to implement the security feature. The agent needs to operate in an isolated user / container.

I think you may have thought I claimed classical liberal and communitarianism were verbal substitutes for each other. If so, let us blame my wording and the python-level looseness of English. My intent was to point out that folks sometimes have strange personal issues with the terms libertarian and authoritarian, and if they do, then without loss of generality they may substitute classical liberal and communitarian respectively.

Accordingly, your insistence on drawing an equivalence between Bernie Sanders and Xi Jinping reads as very bizarre and out of the blue since Xi is Communist (Auth-left) and Bernie is left (mix of auth and libertarian but left on the orthogonal axis to authortarian/classical liberal).

If that doesn't clarify your mistaken read, then let us leave the conversation where it stands as I'm not terribly interested engaging in further platforming someone's personal flamewar topic.

A few of the scientific computing companies from the early 2010s got their traction due to Dodd Frank-required scenario and stress testing. SAS was not up to the challenge and R could not multithread.

These initiatives were independent of Minerva and Athena, which was good but not very useful to the more mundane parts of the bank everyone off the financial trading floors care about.

Correct, which is why your question didn't make sense earlier.

Typically, one would refer to the political compass as a good starting reference. It has two axes, left/right and authoritarian/libertarian. Communism is authoritarian left. DSA is more left, with some libertarian and some authoritarian. It's more regions than binary flags.

This is a good way to view this. This isn't making an objective calculation, and the way they code left vs right is certainly subject to debate, but the type of analysis where we work to understand biases is important.

Although, this also reminds me of the old saying about reality and leftward bias.

Substitute 'Communitarian' and 'Classical Liberal' if you find the common political compass terms too charged.

The author is advised go avoid falling for AI Loopidity. It's more valuable to just share the bullet points someone feeds a prompt to produce a blogpost than to wade through AI slop of a blog post that people have to use AI to summarize.

Is this a problem? I thought it was fun, personally, even if the author used AI to help build it.

Meh. On an outcomes analysis, I've found Cursor's delivery to be exceptionally weak.

Good luck to the alt-economy of SpaceTesla though, may all our 401ks survive.

I appreciate you would really like people to agree with you here, but you've made your argument cage wrapped so tight you fail to recognize the people just outside who support a lot of where you want to be.

Working through a world where some condition proves true is useful to inform logical policy. It admittedly doesn't make for a sexy soundbite and is a lot harder to work through, but it has substantial use (1) to both justify the morality of a policy/action in the real world and (2) to anticipate a potential real world scenario where a single person makes a billion dollars in a SaaS.

Just because pg is `not even wrong` doesn't mean we have to be as well.

To be fair, reality is a special case (and not always the most interesting one) of general principles.

With recent advances in AI, it may be possible for someone to build a billion dollar single founder company.
