Nice - anything to offer up other than name calling? Do you have any ideas of your own related to the displayed data and narrative?

Right? As a former founder, I laugh every time I get a 'Founding Engineer' recruit email...

Great article, must be the inspiration for the recent Illustrated Evo 2: https://research.nvidia.com/labs/dbr/blog/illustrated-evo2/

In what other professional industry can a partner just be openly racist, hostile, and spread Alex Jones like propaganda? It's so bizarre to watch.

What do you expect? a16z-funded and they love to talk about how much they've raised, thought-leader style co-founders, etc.

> Yes, why would you bother not exercising power you possess?

By that logic, I suppose well-funded police should respond to every call with a SWAT team, or at the least guns drawn?

(I guess Uncle Ben's quote in Spiderman actually wasn't redundant!)

SVG has been transforming web-experiences (particularly for viz) for quite some time now, see:

I agree with the author when they write:

""" In my idealistic vision of how scientific publishing should work, each paper would be accompanied by a fully interactive environment where the reader could explore the data, rerun the experiments, tweak the parameters, and see how the results changed. """

I do like seeing larger labs/companies releasing research full of SVGs. In recent memory, I quite liked this from NVIDIA:

What are you responding to?

How much of the current burden is shouldered by the middle class? How much by the 1%? How does that compare to other Western nations? What measurable effect would raising this on the 1% be? What about the middle class?

Of course you did, his PR team knew exactly who to market it to.

Laughable that you believe this. Do you still after seeing all the counter evidence? Do you sit back and ask yourself, "I wonder if the world's richest man has a PR firm, one so effective it has me working for it part time spreading the lies."?

README could use more work. Zero images, demos, etc. - why put all the effort into a tool just to market it so poorly...

Wow, a shockingly argumentative tone for someone who is just flat out wrong.

Beyond the response someone else commented explaining exactly where the comparison was mentioned, the anecdote itself is useful in offering an experience of someone who's life has been changed by the drug.

In any case, the study mentioned in the article is a meta-analysis about children, not adults, so there is no onus on OP to qualify anything about placebo or not.

Probably because this was made in 2014 :D

You claim OP's interpretation is inaccurate, while it tracks perfectly with many of EA's most notorious supporters.

Given that contrast, I'd ask what evidence do you have for why OP's interpretation is incorrect, and what evidence do you have that your interpretation is correct?

a16z has become a badge of honor for the worst people in tech (the ones who chase Forbes 30u30), and a stain to everyone else.

This thread is about the FBI, yet you're referencing strawman arguments about DUI checkpoints from local police. Do you have any experience with crimes against children?

What makes you say that? Sad how easy it is for someone to dismiss writing these days as, "must be AI written!" (I'd wager the average LLM blog post takes more effort than your dismissive response, though I wish I didn't have to read either).

I'm not a fan of the author's writing, but you can look at their other articles and see the same (non-AI feeling) style of writing and general theme of content (airport-book style motivation).
