Contact your CA rep about SB915 if you like Waymo, because there are ongoing+real efforts to ban it: “There is an effort in CA to establish local control over driverless cars. As we know from housing, localism is a good way to block stuff without explicitly saying it."

The bill Biden signed today gives ByteDance 270 days to divest TikTok, with the option for the president to grant a 90-day extension. If my math is right, the 270-day period ends on January 19. Does this mean Biden could decide TikTok's fate on the last day of his presidency?
Same. I feel like covering self-driving cars over the last seven years give me a different intuition for this stuff than a lot of people.

It seems like a significant portion of Biden’s ad budget should be devoted to attacking Kennedy over vaccines and other issues in a way that will make Kennedy more appealing to trump voters.
@WillFedder @binarybits Some of the Brightline crossings are truely ludicrous. I do agree with @binarybits that it's worth talking about more. progressiverailroading.com/federal_legisl…
I favored a forced TikTok divestiture before it was cool. fullstackeconomics.com/p/donald-trump…
Are there any good crowdsourced travel websites? Wikitravel used to have a lot of good information but I gather it succumbed to bitrot about a decade ago.

Absolutely arrest any demonstrator who bars access to a public right of way.
They’re concerned for the safety of their protestors, but are more than willing to body check anyone they don’t like who tries to enter the encampment set up on PUBLIC PROPERTY

@binarybits In Washington state, where autopilot is banned, a Tesla just rear-ended and killed a motorcyclist. The driver admitted to using autopilot and using his phone when he hit the motorcyclist. He'll be charged with vehicular manslaughter. komonews.com/news/local/fat…
@binarybits What we will see in August is most likely a model 3 with no steering wheel or pedals but based on the current status of V12 FSD, it is still years away from being operational.
@binarybits If the youth vote let him down he'll have the chance to do the funniest thing
@binarybits What do you think of current progress of FSD v12? Not what Elon says about it but the evidence.
@binarybits The key thing that is different is in 2021, FSD couldn't get off my block without crashing headlong into a traffic circle. Now it only drives in the protected bike lane on my block 50% of the time.
@daniel_271828 Because an API like that makes the model weights open? Folks talk about “structured access” but this is mostly a description of a future hope, not of the present world. None of the closed providers grants access to even *activations* via API. Not OpenAI, not Anthropic, not GDM.
historically universities took in students from the aristocracy (and later middle class) in exchange for tuition so that they could sustain their independent scholarship. teaching wasn't the point, it was a means to be sustainable so that real work could get done.
wrong. the entire premise of the university was to provide a venue for scholarship independent of politics and other normie concerns so serious people could get work done. the university system as it exists today was invented in 1950 by vannevar bush.
A random thought about institutional decline: The entire premise of the University is that you, the University, know better than the students and are willing to teach them — that is why they pay a ton of money and time to be there. You are in a position of authority over…
@keithgessen Those things are true yes, but when I was a student I didn’t have a white supremacist get in my face to try and fight me like I did with the SJP members did. Antisemitism isn’t one thing and it’s not exclusive to one sort of people and in one place in time
In five months Charlie Kirk went from demanding Speaker Johnson ban TikTok to singing it's praises. Amazing what one billionaire donor that is invested in TikTok can do. How it started: How it's going:
@MikeSyl36625988 I have a young 30 something coworker who constantly talks about 2 things 1. The great new restaurant she ate at or door dashed from for dinner last night. 2. How she and her husband will never be able to afford to buy a house. She sees 0 connection between these 2 topics.
@binarybits @dwarkesh_sp We can already feel present with people we have video and voice chat. The only thing Zuck wants is a new platform. He tried this with the Facebook Phone. Mark has been trying to find a new platform for years, a place where he can monetize people more effectively.
Unless I’m mistaken, England was full of Christians when the poor, innocent Germans bombed them. Same for France, Poland, etc etc. But that gets in the way of the narrative she’s presenting.
the mismatch between elite universities' decisions' instrumental importance to problems in the world and the level of audience attention that the media can attract to things happening at elite universities is eroding the pedagogical case for tolerating big disruptions
I think it would be much more fruitful at this stage to build task-specific agents, such as flight booking, rather than generalist agents. To tackle the reliability problem your agent design has to be task-specific. Similar thoughts in this thread: x.com/lateinteractio…
I worry about a bubble burst once people realize that no AGI is near—no reliably generalist LLMs or “agents”. Might seem less ambitious but it's far wiser to recognize: LLMs mainly create opportunities for making *general* progress for building AIs that solve *specific* tasks.
