10x engineers should be called "trailing zeros" because multiplying an integer by 10 is the same as adding a trailing zero.

I just don't see how a vision of us all as independent contractors constantly competing in zero-sum interactions, a nation of 300 million homesteads and little suburban fiefdoms, is any way to organize a functioning society, let alone a supposedly self-governing, democratic, civic nation.

Chatbots â LLMs â do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyâre ârightâ itâs because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatâs all.

We need to talk about Russell Vought â But Properly

Last night I attended a public education listening tour hosted by Iowa Dem house members. So many teachers reiterated an atmosphere of total fear, surveillance, & reprisal. One elementary teacher said they refer to the Gulf of Mexico as "The Gulf" to avoid even the suspicion of bias.

all of this makes total sense when you recognize that âfreedomâ here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and âtyrannyâ is when someone threatens that âfreedomâ or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals
