LLMs: the opposable thumb of computing
Amidst all the hype, all the skepticism, all the rending of clothes, I am here to tell you: the LLM is to computing what the thumb is to our hand.

I argue that LLMs are the opposable thumb of computing:
fundamentally novel range of motion that, when combined with the error-correcting fingers of conventional computing, change what's possible altogether

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

We need high-speed rail everywhere. Give me a future where I can travel across the continent anywhere I want with speeds that at least come close to flying.
It's easier to make trains carbon-neutral. I'd rather watch all the scenery go by. Let's do this.

Elon buying X and firing everyone pretty much turned tech into a shitty place to work almost overnight.
OpenAI "proved" that LLMs are a viable product and X "proved" that you can fire large numbers of employees
(and, for that matter, Trump 2024 "proved" that wokeness was over and you didn't need to put up with any lip from your workers)

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

you actually have to end the American republic to end the senate. it is literally the only institution which is explicitly impossible to reform even by amendment
you can however create as many states as you like

Alternatively if that's not your cup of tea and you're more center left or whatnot like go sign up with Indivisible or some local group or whatever

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The ACA system of free money to health insurance companies was a very shitty, administratively complex, black box, impossible to understand national health insurance system. Repealing the subsidies will have the same effect as if Britain abolished the NHS overnight. It will be a catastrophe

This is, essentially, a stealth repeal of Obamacare
