Nice #bluesky today! Find me there @ dmewes .com if you like. (Twitter does still allow talking about the weather, right?)
Exactly. Also, Kamal's policy proposals make sense and are not batshit crazy like Trump's
If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.
Good morning with good news: US solar generation was up 44% in June 2024, compared to June 2023. Wow! June 2024: 36 TWh June 2023: 25 TWh June 2022: 22 TWh June 2021: 17 TWh Solar is up ~110% since June 2021. It generated 8.55% of US electricity this June and is vital to USA!
Very useful work
Shoutout to the team that built artificialanalysis.ai . Really neat site that benchmarks the speed of different LLM API providers to help developers pick which models to use. This nicely complements the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Hugging Face open LLM leaderboards and Stanford's HELM…
This sadly rings true.
Francois Chollet: OpenAI has set back the progress towards AGI by 5-10 years because frontier research is no longer being published and LLMs are an offramp on the path to AGI
No one can beat the 2019 ARC-AGI benchmark. We've stalled. LLMs are not enough. Frontier research has gone closed source. We need new ideas. Maybe from you? Thrilled to announce @arcprize with @fchollet A $1,000,000 competition to beat ARC and re-start open AGI progress
It seems to me that before "urgently figuring out how to control AI systems much smarter than us" we need to have the beginning of a hint of a design for a system smarter than a house cat. Such a sense of urgency reveals an extremely distorted view of reality. No wonder the more…
The by far biggest challenge in achieving safe AGI remains the AGI part, not the safe part.
I sometimes wonder what it would look like if China wanted to sanction and maximally harm the US economy. I think this is it. We just self-sanctioned ourselves. (and for the second time - Trump did it first)
I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China: 25% on steel and aluminum, 50% on semiconductors, 100% on EVs, And 50% on solar panels. China is determined to dominate these industries. I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.
Redis says they want to add persistence to Redis so it can use SSDs for persistent storage. We actually implemented a Redis protocol layer for RethinkDB a while ago that did just that... Unfortunately it was pre open sourcing, so the code likely got lost when RethinkDB shut down.
In my new blog post, I explore the "puddle of doom", and why getting bored is important for effectively learning a world model. amongai.com/2024/04/06/on-…
Jia Tan found a way to get paid to work on open source. Why can't you

Very serious question: Why is 12pm noon and 12am midnight? 7am 8am 9am 10am 11am 12pm 7pm 8pm 9pm 10pm 11pm 12am See what I mean? Shouldn’t it be the other way?
Evolution of chess: 1. Classic theory: occupy the center with pawns 2. Hyper Modern: defend center with pieces 3. Ultra Modern: occupy & defend center with your king (Bongcloud opening)
A lesson in critical thinking I got in undergrad: Econ 1 prof hands us an article about airlines overbooking & offering money at the gate to bump passengers. Article argues we should ban this. Reasoning is that it’s exploitative: poorer people overwhelmingly more likely to get…
The path to profitability for Uber and Lyft has always been about depressing wages for gig workers. If a company can’t afford to pay their drivers a livable wage, maybe that company doesn’t deserve to exist.
