Leaving aside everything else, this confuses inputs with outputs. You want to get tasks done efficiently, not focus on inputs alone (its a similar risk for companies focusing solely on minimizing token cost) And "keep prompts short" is bad advice for getting good AI outputs.

if the NRX weren’t partisan hacks they would love this company. its governance structure is basically Karnofsky-Amodei genetic dynasty, has an encaged machine god with its own Consitution, went to war with the department of war

this is both clever & it's cool how interpretable it is (if you think about it for a second)

Chile required all gas stations to put their prices on the internet. The result? Margins went up 9%. Never forget that buyers are not the only people interested in what prices are! 1/

Troll A If you want to build something big, do it at sea. The Troll A platform has a displacement of 1.2 million tonnes, that’s 6,600 Boeing 747s (for context that’s 4x more jumbo jets than were ever built (1,540)). Troll A was installed and commissioned in 1995, it has been on site for 30 years now. Last year (2025) it produced 42 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, that’s a continuous energy flow rate of 53 GW. (for context, the state of Texas is currently consuming 75GW of power) The platform is 1,640 feet tall and is operated by a crew of 40. In 2006 Katie Malua held a concert for the crew in the concrete base of the platform which at the time was 1,000ft below the North Sea. You can only visit via helicopter trip and before you make the trip you have pass a safety course. This involves strapping yourself into a fake helicopter which is then dropped into a swimming pool and tipped up side down… only if you successfully escape the up side down submerged chopper are you then allowed to fly on the real helicopter.

Women give higher ratings to shows in every category except animation. Women give shows like The Mindy Project and Empire much higher ratings than men give them. Men, OTOH, give shows like Seinfeld, The Wire, and the Sopranos higher ratings.

donald trump single-handedly negatively polarizing europe into a second dark age wasn't exactly on my bingo card but it maybe should've been

I too would constantly talk about killing myself if I had to deal with these people

aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

After I published my article on Korean adoptees today, a professor at an R1 university wrote to me: "It's a pity I can't assign this in one of my quantitative methods classes." I got his point, but asked what exactly was stopping him. He wrote the following: "In one sense, nothing. I have tenure and academic freedom and I don't think I would face the kind of Amy Wax style retaliation that FIRE could sue over. But there would be consequences. The most immediate would be that I would no longer teach or advise grad students – and not because the department chair was punishing me but because students would refuse to take my classes or have me on their dissertation committees. But the more important thing is reserving my credibility for when it is most likely to be effective. You want people to take you seriously when you speak in a faculty meeting or advocate a policy at your university or in your discipline. This isn't careerism, it's about strategic understanding of picking battles to have the most impact, especially given that I am not teaching about inequality and there are other ways to teach the auxiliary hypothesis problem that would be much more effective because they wouldn't make students too upset to appreciate the methodological point." Good demonstration of how academic pressure comes from below. You can have all the free speech protections you want, and maybe you won't be disciplined or fired, but no law or regulation can stop students from refusing to take your classes, other academics from not wanting to write papers with you, etc.

As a very basic premise, the school system has 13 years (one-sixth of a child's lifetime!) to ensure *every* student can at least answer this "basic"-level question by graduation. Only 26% of 12th graders got this right.

monitoring the lesbian bar situation

it must have some weird effects on the psyche when the external universe treats u & ur friends as the main characters of the anime I don’t really have a point, just thinking about how almost every kid fantasizes about this but the world doesn’t reflect it back for most ppl

WHAT

Does anyone else have this running nonstop in the background?

This idea is compelling and underdiscussed. It helps explain why people that expect to find multiple personalities, demons, trauma, IFS entities, astrological-rhyme, past lives in Atlantis, etc. in their psyche are significantly more likely to find them.

Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app. We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.

okay, so it turns out the "hack" was merely the bot discovering hidden urls... arguably more embarrassing for Australian bros than OpenAI...
