Being in Quebec is a context that can only occur in Canada so far.

Det var väl ingen som väntade sig att en ungersk moderat plötsligt skulle förvandla landet till en progressiv högborg. Steg ett är att bli av med de aktivt illiberala krafterna. Att Orban har fallit kan man fira utan att tro att Magyar är vänsterpartist.

The Crown at 9%?! I thought the damn Confederation was bad.

Dessa valkompasser blir mer och mer vansinniga varje val. Vad tror DN att något sånt här förmedlar?

Don't most stores have the little e-ink displays for the price these days?

Det kanske vore kul att ha typ tio olika uppenbart bra saker som kostar typ tio någon stor summa pengar och den låta partierna rangordna dem. Lixom: Om detta finns 10 miljarder över i budgeten vill du helst
- Öka ROT taket med 2000 kr
- Köpa tre nya Patriot missiler
- Anställa 10000 nya poliser
Etc

Sverige knappar in på Kina i befolkning!

I think it's a stretch to claim that Iran benefits from this. Just because you guys lost doesn't mean that Iran is benefiting. It's going to be poorer and worse as a result of this war.

I think that's absolutely fair and I agree that arr is an iffy metric. However, the commercial value that the latest frontier models deliver is much higher than I had anticipated. So I really don't know at this point. I just know that I would be prepared to pay much more than I do right now.

You don't think they will? Anthropic are making more selling enterprise subscriptions than it costs to serve them. The reason they are in the red is r&d. I think the enterprise plans can get way more expensive too and still be money well spent for most companies if capabilities continue to improve.

This week's #PaperILike is "AssistanceZero: Scalably Solving Assistance Games" (Laidlaw et al., ICML 2025).

AlphaZero-like combo of learning & planning for assistance games, where robot & human share reward fn that robot doesn't know. + Minecraft!

a medieval bestiary page depicting a griffin on a person's back with their entire head in its mouth

have been researching bestiaries for a project and found this one of a griffin about to tear off some poor soul's entire head very relatable

Happy Easter.

I second No Priors and (if you have a really long car ride) Dwarkesh.

Och du menar att det är mycket mer fascistiskt än nedmonteringen av fri media som gjorts i Ungern, eller korruptionen där, eller politiseringen av rättsväsendet?

Varför tycker du att vi är värre än Ungern? Eller Italien för den delen? Jag menar inte att det är bra här såklart men jag tycker att det står ganska dåligt till i stora delar av Europa.

A new field experiment on 515 startups, half shown case studies of how startups are successfully using AI.

Those firms used AI 44% more, had 1.9x higher revenue, needed 39% less capital:
1) AI accelerates businesses
2) The challenge is understanding how to use it papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Deliver...

oh my god they finally did it. they finally invented a good printer.

I feel like we are also training ourselves in how to communicate in general when we talk to these things. I worry that if I don't say thank you to Claude I will also stop saying thank you to my coworkers.

I thought the claim was that it lifted the boundaries of software development. The counterclaim was that that was ontologically not true because it doesn't innovate.

I don't think innovation is necessary for lifting software development. I also don't know if modern agents can't innovate.

How does one buy it?

The anti LLM crowd. It is so easy to see and test what AI can do these days. One can have opinions on whether the training data is ethically sourced or that the big tech companies will get too much power or whatnot but these kinds of claims that they don't work are hogwash.

Could social media make us less polarized instead of more?

We tested 5 algorithms on 3 platforms with 10,000 people for 6 months during the 2024 election, and found that the answer is yes.

Both you and Bismarck omit the UK?! That is a bit funny.

The identity part of a skip connection can be written as a convolution with the kernel [1]. I still wouldn't refer to that as a convolutional connection though.

What do you mean by help shape? Russia and Israel are two middle powers that are clearly vigorously shaping the world right now but I doubt they will be active in institution building for the next global order.

Molon labe said the ayatollah.

Politico säger att Mette vann. Engström säger att det är en dålig idé att göra som Mette.

Vet inte om du har rätt men detta var lite roligt.
