Working my way through it now. Great read!

The presumption that the Fed raising short-term rates reduces inflation is predicated on the belief that higher rates reduce demand and investment. But what if higher rates don’t reduce demand and investment because the demand for intelligence and energy is unaffected by higher rates because winning the race for super intelligence has a near infinite ROI and the demand for compute will remain incalculable. Why won’t higher rates at this unique moment in history therefore lead to more inflation as interest costs are embedded in everything? And the problem is compounded as the more the Fed raises rates, the more inflation we will have and the more the Fed will need to raise rates further and so on. But what if the old models don’t apply to the current paradigm and the Fed is wrong? I think the Fed might have just made a mistake. Am I right or am I wrong?

Could you please explain who decided 2% is the appropriate inflation number and how that was determined? They drive to a number but never explain it. The result is a lot of pain for people through higher rates for homes and credit.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage. Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science. And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments. This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.

“Because Flores signed a contract with the Dolphins that has an arbitration clause in it, courts look at those very broadly and are going to be inclined to sweep the entire thing into essentially a private forum where nobody hears about what happens.” Too broadly IMO.
Enjoyed sharing my thoughts with @PLeonardNYDN on the #brianflores case.

Isn't that a given when it comes to the NFL? The most high-profile recent arbitration I can think of was between Kaepernick & Reid and the NFL. I remember prior to the settlement Reid saying he looked forward to when he could talk about it, but he never got that chance.

Reid evidently agreed to confidentiality. You're right that it is common for parties to a settlement to agree to confidentiality, but that is because the overall deal is in their interests. My only point is that confidentiality is not inherent to arbitration (unlike mediation).
