And there's no clear way to adjust for the most basic factor that people who vote for one candidate are less likely to say so.
In order to account for that, you need you know how many people who are less likely to respond are voting for that candidate. And then you're back to square one.
This is why professional polls have had a consistent bias over the last few years, as this hidden unobservable factor's effect has gotten stronger and stronger.

Those are issues with Asahi, but batter life is great on a Framework 13 pro, or anything with the new Panther Lake chipset.

For this stuff, I'm most excited about https over iroh.
- https://github.com/aflin/iroh-webproxy
- https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-proxy-utils
No port forwarding. No public IP required. No special proxy to set up.
Iroh already runs public relays. Your two computers will signal through those, and then port-knock and form a direct connection to each other, perfectly encrypted.
We just need to define a new https:// url, like ... let's call it "irohttps://" maybe, so then you could contact my laptop with "irohttps://<hash>/path?query".

We can be more specific than "the incentives are wrong in Academia", because we know what the incentive is: it's peer-review.
The problem is that today's peer review, while better than nothing, is far from a perfect judge of research quality. If peer-review was a perfect judge of research quality, there would be no incentive problem. The incentives would be aligned.
I happen to be working on an improvement to peer review. An early prototype can be viewed at https://peeryview.org/about. Holler at me if you're also working on this problem!

Yes, I need a recommendation, too! I'm currently living with loud A/C-noise fans and need to swap them out for something better, and I don't know where to look.

Artificial General Intelligence.
It means AI that is General, as in it is not specific to one narrow task, like object recognition or playing chess.
This was a hard problem for decades. No AI was general, until GPT 3 or 4. Now we have General AI.
So we have AGI.

They said it was too dangerous to release before the companies that run internet for civilization could patch the holes it was finding.
That's a threat to civilization.

This phrase makes it sound like the author wasn't, himself, a developer. Like, maybe he wasn't even human.

It's interesting that I disagree with all of these points.

I'm starting to notice that LLMs tend to speak in the form of movie trailers.
Say this in a deep masculine dramatic voice:
One man. One gun. A story that would could never die.
Two files, four lines, five years unnoticed. This is the COLDCARD
