In 2022 I drove across Canada from Ottawa to northern BC. I remember driving for three full days around the top of Lake Superior with a wall of mostly dead trees on either side of the road the whole way, thinking, man when Ontario burns, there's going to be no stopping it. And here we are.

Trump has terminated virtually all U.S. assistance to Ukraine,
with the exception of a relatively small amount legislated by Congress.
In doing so, he gave up some very high-value cards.
Zelenskyy almost certainly would have paid greater heed to Trump’s request to leave Russian oil refineries alone had the United States continued to provide the level of assistance that the Biden administration supplied in 2022-2024
($30-$40 billion a year)

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert

Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.

Washington’s battleground 3rd District is a high priority for both parties.
The district went for President Trump in 2024 while reelecting moderate Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
Gluesenkamp Perez, a centrist who was first elected narrowly in 2022 and has made a name for herself by sometimes breaking with her party,
successfully fended off primary challengers on Tuesday to advance to the November ballot.

Die letzten Proofs des 2022 eingereichten Aufsatzes verließen nun den Postausgang.
First, let’s talk about “grokking”.
In 2022, OpenAI published a paper showing that if you train a model on a simple dataset
(for instance, a simple mathematical operation like division),
and keep training it long after the training looks like it’s stalled out,
the model will suddenly make a massive jump in capability.
Why does this work?
The first stage of training is like rote memorization:
the model has to compress as much of the training data as…
