I’m not sure America has ever been all that serious a country. It’s like our ideals. Something we aspire towards rather than something we have achieved. Pretty sure a hundred years ago many other nations didn’t consider us all that serious a country. We were even viewed as a bit backwards.

Me too. Am currently working with hundreds of millions of rows of data, and with the right partitioning you can query it quickly and efficiently on a laptop. bsky.app/profile/marc...

To be fair, I’m basically rebuilding my entire wardrobe. I’ve got so very many hoodies that are now tents on me.

551. A fantastic and imaginative take on space opera, with some brilliant worldbuilding and really cool ideas about gender and consciousness and the nature of intelligence. Kind of purposefully breaks down your conception of the gender binary, which is very cool, even if the ending is a little weak.

One consequences of the left's hostility to economics is that they rally behind solutions that will probably make things worse. Economics is not the enemy of the left, and hasn't been for nearly half a century

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

The PNW has all sorts of amazing examples of WPA arts and crafts, most dramatically present at the majestic Timberline Lodge. I’ve always had mixed feelings about government funded art and the complexities are thoughtfully discussed in this great book I bought recently at a discount.

I’m on the fence tbh. My point is that I am not sure the experiments showing introspection or consciousness are showing either of those as long as there are unanswered alternative (simpler) hypotheses. Parsimony should be our guiding principle. Consciousness is not the simplest explanation

Kansas has 4 former, living GOP governors. Two have now endorsed Adam Hamilton, the Dem, for Senate. Mike Hayden just penned this oped in the Kansas City Star this morning; Adam Graves had done the same last month.

our laziness is what allows us as humans to say no, and this helps us push back against complexity @bcantrill.bsky.social #monktoberfest

A slide that says:

The virtue of laziness
• Our need to comprehend and compose systems drives us towards developing simple, powerful abstractions
• This is our drive to cognitive efficiency in a system - what Larry Wall famously called the programmer virtue of laziness
• LLMs lack the virtue of laziness - they are biased to the complex
• Moreover, their limited context makes them tautologically emergent..
