DOGE is about to get inside the OODA loop of traditional government and it’s going to be incredibly disruptive, and will show the intellectual bankruptcy of traditional ways of doing things. The 20th century is over.

It’s kind of wild to watch the old narrative setting ability of traditional media breaking down in real time. It’s been falling apart for awhile but has really accelerated the last year.

Important math here from Hacker News post.
Humans are incredibly good at what we do, both intellectually and physically in the world. It will take quite awhile for things like OpenAI o3 and robotics to truly replace people.

I’ve been suspecting that DOGE will use very advanced AI to try to tackle the regulatory state; independent of what you think about that objective I think it’s an interesting use of AI, some speculation on how DOGE might do that: open.substack.com/pub/eatingpo...
Um, Congress, you might want to take a look at this
What might DOGE have brewing?

In an age of AI perfection imperfection will grow more valuable.
It is impossible to describe the relief I feel reading a student paper that has grammar errors, typos, missing words, or second-language idiosyncracies and I can confidently read the work knowing my student actually wrote it and is expressing their knowledge in their own words.

We need a Left willing to break the regulatory status quo a bit more, like a progressive version of DOGE, removing regulation that isn’t leading to progressive results.
Get rid of everything bagel politics as well.

I want to see Blue cities be successful. I want to see:
- Affordable & climate neutral energy at scale
- Walkable, livable cities with public transit built quickly & affordably
- Healthy, safe communities with affordable housing not blocked by NIMBYs
You would probably call me an Abundance Democrat

Until Blue cities can prove that they can get their act together and be liveable places it’s going to be hard to make the case that the rest of the country wants to replicate their policies.

I think the true modern successor to Carl Sagan is Sabine Hossenfelder. She’s such a gift in how she explains complex scientific ideas to a wide audience and how she skeptically engages with the scientific establishment & explains her reasoning to a broader audience.

Can you even imagine the layers upon layers of MBA laden bureaucracy at Intel these days, like an American corporate version of the Soviet Union perhaps? Like imagine you’re an engineer who wants to do something incredible and amazing, then you have to swim through that organizational morass?

Embedding the Earth is an essential part of future AI based Earth Observation platforms. Once you embed remote sensing imagery you can search over vast areas over time and space, and use it to power many downstream bespoke applications.

Okay didn’t realize that pigeons are actually kind of awesome: www.washingtonpost.com/home/2024/11...
We domesticated, then discarded pigeons. Can we learn to love them again?
For most of human history, pigeons have been our pets and partners. But sometime in the last half-century, the relationship soured.
