    On a lighter note, I highly recommend the Merlin app from Cornell. It's free and uses AI and you're phone's microphone to identify bird songs. Very cool. I'm keeping "Yellow-rumped Warbler" in my pocket for a classy-sounding insult.

    It doesn't need either of those things to be useful. I think of most complex problems as a nonlinear programming optimization problem, where it's either impossible or impractical to prove a solution is the global optimum. In practice, you don't need the very best possible solution. You need a...

    Just sold some ITM 300 July puts @31. Was looking to buy around 300 so I'd be happy to get in for 270.

    I really don't think I am. Simple construct: when AI is trained to play chess, does it not try to win? How is that different from a goal? I'm looking at it from a "black box" perspective: examine inputs and outputs, making no assumptions about what's going on in-between. Please explain your...

    "It's bad parenting, not the child." Maybe. Did they specifically try to program the model to use blackmail? I don't find it at all hard to believe that a LLM would attempt to use methods we think are wrong to achieve it's goals. People do. Animals do. One doesn't need any deep moral...

    The greatest flaw of capitalism + the narrative of false values

    IDEA 
    This. All this. Capitalism is a democratic economic system founded on freedom. That may sound corny but it's true. People can argue forever about what system "should" be best, but what maters most is results. And no system has done more to lift people out of poverty than capitalism. And you...

    Last week: Dropped in on a local manufacturing business that I scoped out and visited a few years ago, but this time I managed to catch the primary owner and he's willing to talk about selling. Said he'd put some numbers together and get them to me shortly. We also talked about other local...

    Cleared a tree off the trail, and it made too good a target to not give it a throw. Good times!
