It’s not so much that I don’t believe in death, but that my experience is unity with the universe and living this experience makes the question of death moot.

Hmm I assume outsized eastern declines are based on negative migration assumptions, but that’s already reverting in Poland & Romania and is expected to continue as those countries get richer

While we're on office chairs, I've come to like these dynamic stools a lot: https://www.aeris.de/en/products/aeris-swopper-wollmischung-capture-gruen Looks like something out of South Park, but the older I get the less I can sit in one place, and the constant movement on the stool keeps my lower back from stiffening.

ARC-AGI-2 is the AI benchmark to watch. It consists of logic puzzles that are simple for humans, but difficult for current frontier models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWHezX43I-4

There is no master plan, the fate of the world rests on the instincts of Donald Trump, one of the greatest populist politicians ever, and a man whose business success is grounded in weaseling out of failures. Buckle up people! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/us/politics/trump-tariff-pause-be-cool.html

> But if the whole world order suddenly aligns against them, what do they do? They invade Taiwan, because they don't have anything to lose anymore, and there isn't anything the US can do about it short of nukes. This will disrupt semiconductor supply chains for a long time and the US will depend on EU goodwill to repatriate as EU controls fab manufacturing. I myself have purchased all advanced chips products I'm planning to use in the next ~3 years.

This is typical cope about authoritarian regimes. Strong man does something seemingly stupid, but he is a strong man, so there must be some master plan behind it. In reality, there is typically no plan, just a lack of checks on the leader.

what does this mean? okay, the more you prompt, the more you'll realize how much minor nuances can affect the results. a simple example is, in a huge context prompt, if you put the goal at the end, the goal will likely be missed. now, wrap the goal in <goal>better prompts</goal>, and suddenly the prompt has a new level of precision. throw away the concept of a single language; models were trained on all programming languages... that knowledge is not isolated. that is why something like mixdown is the future, a hybrid language designed for precision prompting. for accurate prompting, we should focus on minimizing the tokens without reducing the information required to achieve our goal—less words, not less data. right now, this is mostly pseudoscience because the models are improving, and the prompts are usually not evaluated (non-standard benchmarks) for how performance changes based on these inclusions. https://x.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1907493224668868677 https://github.com/galligan/mixdown

I've recently discovered that Hannah Arendt wrote poetry and these lines stuck with me: "Doch das Leid will nich beschwichten Alte Träume, junge Weisheit. Und es lässt mich nicht verzichten Auf des Glückes schöne Reinheit." The last line is so beautiful, but I think it only works in German.

TIL: Amazon developed the P Programming Language as a successor to TLA+. They also built PObserve that takes "structured logs from the execution of distributed systems and validate post-hoc that they match behaviors allowed by the formal P specification of the system" https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3712057
