the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

Lu You (1125-1210), "First of Two Poems Written During the Heavy Winds and Rain on the Fourth Day of the 11th Lunar Month" Wind sweeps lake and river, rain darkens the village; the mountains roar and crash like ocean waves.

Stupid, unethical, and lazy lawyers misusing AI again. Will this never end? These sanctions are merely compensatory; something punitive is needed.

Really important paper, 🧵, & results. No one, including me, has good solutions for this, but it's a huge problem for social science that we all know & expect that ~every paper with a null finding as the main result goes in the file drawer.
