The "Attention is all you need" paper authors where four (!) Europeans and one from US, amongst others. The "Top 10" lists are just complete rubbish, not worth the paper they are written on.

Europeans do not have the hustle mentality to break the law like Uber so you wont see them compete in anything data heavy. They also are quite risk adverse, probably from having a lower Gini coefficient.

Ive seen it in action. When you get lazy, you start to notice that the single most important aspect is posturing.

So to be lazy you start posturing, selling people how great you and your project is. The more projects you have under you, the higher the chance of something very successful too.

It works, suddenly they can work even less and get promoted.

Ofc this is horrible for the company, having the worst people doing the most “internal sales for positioning”. This also creates a giant middle management layer.

I wouldn’t say they are dumb, they just noticed that great work has no correlation with performance. What does have a correlation is how you act and speak. The All-In Chamaths of the world (not saying he is dumb, he isnt, but damn if boosting isn’t everything for him).

This is why Manifesting, was so popular for the management layer, suddenly it wasnt “being untruthful” it was “manifesting into existence”.

Seven of the eight authors of the influential 2017 AI paper "Attention Is All You Need" are immigrants to the United States. The remaining author is the grandson of refugees.

And the majority of them didn’t get their degrees from US universities.

No doubt Google was the catalyst though.

There are studies on that that showed: Steroids WITHOUT training produced more muscle mass and strength than training without steroids. Bhasin et al., 1996 – New England Journal of Medicine

Belgian Blues dont really need to go to the gym, so it’s not really that hard to phantom.

Worse food and less fat shaming.

I think most europeans wouldnt mind agreeing to that most Asian countries are eating healthier, and their bmis will reflect that.

Really hope I can return to Gentoo soon. It was just the most stable and most hacker friendly distro Ive ever used. Hats off to all the contributors!

Space before the command will have the same effect

The Elon way is to fire the middle manager layer, the communication layer, that are great at writing accomplishments because they can be in ten projects at the same time.

So you don’t believe in the free market?

I would say basically everything that has won a an Apple Design Award before 2020.

Things for macOS for example.

Found it interesting and engaging, but having a CS professor at Colombia putting their name to AI “slop” is a bit unnerving. If they are writing papers for work you would hope they would enjoy the process of thinking and writing (journaling) instead of using ChatGPT.

It’s because maths are the ultimate abstraction. It’s timeless and corner cases (almost) fully understood. Ok maybe not, but at least relative to whatever JavaScript developers are reinventing for the thousand time.

I own stocks in an american oil company.

The media can blast propaganda all they want about the reasons. It’s just history repeating itself. Never trust american politicans.

If this started a war with China (it wont, but as a thought experiment), wouldn’t american politicans at least want to pretend this was the will of the people? Or are they just so sure they can set the discourse that democracy no longer has a meaning?
