first time I ever tried making something interactive (nash equilibrium trainer for heads up poker) I used pygame good times crazy to think you can probably just one-shot it today
I’ve been learning pygame this weekend. Reading docs and writing code. Let me tell you, nothing nothing nothing comes close to changing a line and tabbing to see your changes. Slowly seeing your code turn into something. Calling a new function and seeing something appear on the screen… Prompting will never. Not saying we should go back. I won’t. Just realizing how much I loved this.

Breaking News: Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire as SpaceX shares soared above $150 on its first day of trading. nyti.ms/4uvca5a

in order to earn the mandate of heaven, @sama must make a long post about openai's philosophy that reaffirms: 1. monthly subscription plans will always have access to the latest models 2. the only API-only models will be old checkpoints, highly-specialised finetunes, etc.
I feel slightly vindicated. For years I warned about Anthropic’s dangerous philosophy and their obsession with "AI safety", which was never just about safety. It was always also about gatekeeping, central planning, and worldwide control over AI. I was criticized for saying this. Now people are finally starting to wake up.

I think you get worse results from LLMs if your messages are full of typos and grammatical mistakes. I’m sure this would not show up in benchmarks, but I still believe it. The models respect you less and become lazier as a result.

I will be forced to move my newly-incorporated UK tech company back to the US if @UKLabour applies the ILR reforms retrospectively. Food for thought. @RachelReevesMP @MikeTappTweets

Labour’s earned settlement proposal is so bad that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would both disagree with it.* For different reasons, of course. But @UKLabour seems to think: “If we disappoint the far left equally as we disappoint the far right, then we should win the centre, which is where most voters are!” No, actually, that’s just how you lose all voters. LOSE. ALL. VOTERS. The centrist doesn’t vote for the centre. All voters behave the same: A voter casts their vote for whichever party is actively pushing the issue(s) that particular voter cares the most about, and, crucially, they vote for the party that is pushing those issues the hardest. By alienating the left wing of your party in an attempt to prevent an uprising on the right, you become the party that is not the first choice of any voter, because there is no longer any issue you are pushing for the hardest. The sole exception to this is an anti-establishment vote, in which the voter believes that the current dominant party in power must be removed at any cost. This is the vote that won the 2024 election. It was the anti-Tory vote. It was not a vote for Labour’s centrism or Clinton-inspired triangulation. And even if it had been a vote for Labour’s centrism, it should be noted that even that would be a vote for a party “to the left” of the Tories. So why on Earth would Labour then think, “ah yes, now that we have won an election by being the challenging party on the left, we should move to the right, that’s why the people voted for a party to the left of the last dominant party in Parliament, they clearly wanted us to be more right wing!” It’s a massive, avoidable, embarrassing self-own. This advice brought to you for free by a cracked American immigrant to Scotland (I love Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) *it should be noted that there are 100 Labour MPs that actually disagree with the proposals I’m referencing, to various degrees. The government should listen to them.

This is the UK I want to live in. (I just hope that they decide not to make the ILR reforms retrospective because that would force me to go launch my startup back home in America instead of here in Scotland.)

2 weeks after I posted this, @UKLabour decided to announce that although I’ve spent 4.5 years in this country, they’d actually like to force me to work another 10.5 years before allowing me to work full time on a startup Maybe America really is the greatest nation on Earth
i would like to demonstrate to my american friends that it is possible to launch a successful startup from europe.

I appreciate you and I genuinely wish you the best but my pattern recognition skills are telling me that you’ll be acquired well before 2028. Possible the tech will be in use though yeah.
2028 elections - expect more people to use Perplexity than Google.
