This piece is extraorindarily good. Includes perhaps the most cogent presentation of LLM machinery I’ve ever read. And the last nine paragraphs are a fantastic 'splainer of all the recent 'hacking' headlines. Chapeux! buttondown.com/apperceptive...

ANY deal—short of magically erasing an entire trade deficit—will be illusionary. In a month or three our ‘dealmaker’ will have a “people say” episode, tear up the deal, and flip back to the full tariff. We are now the antithesis of a trading partner.

Staggering that ten months after forcing the new app on customers, Sonos is still struggling with feature parity vs the old app. At the time, I commented that whoever wrote the new app had never seen, much less used, a Sonos system.

Here’s a problem with saying the connection between vaccines and autism has been “debunked.” If by “debunked” you mean there’s scientific consensus it’s not real, and only freaks and cranks believe it, if your population is indifferent to science and friendly to freaks and cranks, it’s not debunked.
