if they can actually do it, they're in big trouble because no one is going to let them hoard truly novel discoveries, eg: new physics, curing cancer.

their comp structure is like all other companies, yearly grants with some band of pay with performance mixed in. some stacking, idk the specifics but recruiters will explain it.

it's bad if you're an investor I guess.

the technology isn't the company yeah? maybe AI will take over the world but it's unlikely to be a single firm

apple is pretty well set up for this because they do all their hardware in house. if they wanted to, they could pivot in this direction. Ternus is also a hardware guy.

This is really interesting because there's an active debate around who Tudhaliya II actually is and how the records overlap with Tudhaliya I. hopefully this will shed more light on early early new Hittite kingdom chronology.

ends up a good % of the US population is in favor of fascism. Same reason we elected orange mango man, same reason ICE is running around shooting people and imprisoning America citizens.

sure sure whatever you say

glad we laid off so many government workers and cdc staff, and politicized their work. very cool and certainly making things great.

why sorry? I agree with you and think it's good for the industry and the world on the whole

why should sammie or darigold have the keys to the kingdom?

$$$$

it's not complex. there's hundreds of billions of investor dollars counting on vendor lock in and walled gardens

yeah I use sol constantly and have done maybe $15 of spend in the past week. it's solid and cheaper. this is at least 4-5 investigations, prs, whatever per day.

This is literally the plan, open weight models are something like 60% of token spend, and it will get worse. many companies now have model gateways where you can slot in cheaper models via cli for cheaper. we've been using glm 5.x and it's pretty close to SOTA frontier models.

it's also why there have been so many calls for regulation and slowdowns.

this is why people have been suggesting an AI bubble, outside of the frontier model labs

sure but the most important piece, the ICS, is still frozen and will remain blocked indefinitely.

what you have is just a provisionally agreed upon free trade agreement. It's a long way from its original goal. Also if a single member country doesn't ratify, it's pulling the plug on ceta. It's in a legal grey zone and will probably remain in that state forever, due to ICS being so controversial to EU member states.

CETA isn't in a good place right now and it's yet another sign that EU doesn't want as deep economic integration as Canada leaders are selling. Canadian leadership is pushing hard and it makes sense, good for the common Canadian, but the EU is more skeptical and doesn't see the same value add.

this is also the conclusion that the FT article came to, Canada isn't as lucrative of a trade partner as they are selling to the Canadian people.

10 member countries including France and Italy have not ratified ceta, how is that 98%? it's hard to believe excluding france and italy gets you to most of the EU goods and services.

EU is notoriously fractured and divided in the best of times, especially around membership. Importantly, many EU countries have not ratified CETA, and that was put in place in 2017.

FT is a pro transatlanticism but has a somewhat negative take on all of this

This is a little indirect? A Colombian bottle company 25% owned by Coke suppressed union activity. awful but hardly what the headlines are stating

the people with the hiring and budget aren't technical people, usually are not engineers or have that background, and are incentivized to cut costs. It's not that complex, good engineering is expensive and somewhat of a cost center.

It's the same behavior around consulting firms, code boot camps, and now AI.

as if the other, 20th century surveillance states were so accurate and effective

This is kinda silly, AI is just a faster re-tranmission of information but it's not fundamentally different from stackoverflow or older styles of communication. If you wrote a blog and some kid in 2025 spouting opinions that weren't their own. it sucks that right now it's controlled by a large corpo but open source models also train on the internet corpus.

freedom of knowledge and open sourcing should always exist, and if anything, even more important in the AI era.

resi has been drained pretty hard in the last 10 years, this just adds more fuel to the fire.

great distraction for the masses from the files

sure as if laws apply anymore. who enforces any of this when the DOJ is run by the president's personal lawyer?

most bricke and mortar should have at least 1mg tablets, and you can break those in half. or break a 3mg into 3rds. not perfect but should work.

sure if you're just taking it as a dietary supplement, but clearly OP is using it as a form of sleeping pill. which is also fine but just seems like mental gymnastics.

It's funny you talk about treating the root cause, and take magnesium, instead of addressing the workplace stress factor.

well if you ask claude how to implement something, you may not always get the optimal solution. this feels like something claude would spit back at you given a basic prompt

expat is usually synonymous with fire/retire early. most people move to spain or portugal and see their purchasing power multiply.

project 2025 is also just about the wholesale destruction of the opposition, including academia.

anecdotal but a good number of people have clearly stopped working as much or quiet quit. some even left the company or the industry. CEOs are also telling everyone to 5x their output, AI will replace them.

Whatever productivity gains models are giving us is being eaten away by other factors.
