These names are very difficult. In the West we have Emperors with names like “Charles V.” The use of numbers is such a time saver, compared to these names. (But “torching the mountain without assistance” is awesome as a description of self-Enlightenment.)

Again, there is the question why humans never came close to the Malthusian limit. And why were Neanderthals so rare? Compared to other species of the same (or larger) mass, we should have been more abundant. We are omnivores, we eat anything. Yet we were outnumbered by bison. Why?

I wish I could find a reliable way to explain this to entrepreneurs: early stage startups are unique. There are certain ways to limit costs, certain ways to cut corners in ways that are safe. All the fancy cloud auto scaling stuff is for when you have $5 million ARR.

Humans are unique for their focus? I am not sure about this. There is no amount of coffee that allows me to focus the way my cat focuses when he sees a bird.

This is suicide for the Democrats overall though maybe it will work in Colorado. But nationally, if the Jews develop the perception that the Democrats are anti-Jew then the Democrats will not ever again win Pennsylvania and that will make it very difficult to win the Presidency.

Representative sample of the responses I get, no matter what subject I write about. Could be sports, could be war, could be tech startups, I always get some variation of these 4 responses.

I wrote this sentence to confuse the 2 meanings of "bat" to see how the LLM would handle it. This is the kind of sentence that would confuse the original LLMs of 2017. But here we see how far things have come since 2017,

During the DotCom boom of the 1990s the big companies were desperate to get young talent, and the non-tech companies felt they had to offer a lot to win young folks away from the tech companies. Procter and Gamble advertised the fact that they were offering P&L (profit and loss) responsibilities to

It's not clear to me that Mamdani is, himself, a dangerous radical. What he tweeted 10 years ago, when he was 23, should not count against him. I myself wrote many stupid things when I was 23. And Cuomo is a sex offender, and he is corrupt. On a personal level,

Just as 1932 marked the beginning of the expansion of Federal government, by both Democrats and Republicans, I believe this marks the beginning of state ownership of industry in the USA. For the next 50 years, both Democrats and Republicans will expand ownership of companies. This could be good.

This is how these people think:
1. If you like violence then you are a good person, and definitely not a Nazi.
2. If you express doubts about using violence for a political purpose, then you are a Nazi.
For the far-left, black is white, freedom is slavery, up is down.

This is mostly just an ordinary teenager venting about his parents, but it does seem to be true that the worst extremists are raised by one parent. Tucker Carlson was alienated from his mom at a very young age. Andrew Tate only saw his father once a year.
