Here is the politician’s Wikipedia page:

This politician is basically a Korean knockoff of Charlie Kirk.

In his 40s, touring the country "debating" college kids. Selling middle-school level economic arguments that appeal to online community addicts.

Basically a spokesman for the "I tell it like it is" crowd.

I think it's very interesting that Korea is probably the country with the fastest cultural adoption of new tech, e.g. #1 for ChatGPT, but on the other hand I can see as a web developer that new web tech is often adopteded at a very slow rate.

We excel at things that look good on paper.

I'm curious how the average Korean feels about what's going on in the US, or even how much they think about this stuff?

I know for example that in Canada and Europe, we're mostly all pretty disturbed about these trade disruptions, but I'm curious if Korean's feel equally 'put off'. Are they as dependent on the US as Canada and Europe?

Average korean:

We just hope Americans realize some day that the world is not taking advantage of them like Trump wants them to believe.

Korea is very dependent on America but this is a mutually beneficial situation. We are their customers and they are ours. Except Korea is more desparate so the US can afford to rip us off or kill contracts whenever it feels like it. We are always thankful to UN allies and the US for freeing SK from NK but Americans are not here to save us. They are here to snoop into beijing and control the pacific ocean.

That my friend is the Korean Way (^tm).

If they don’t meet the minimum AI namedrop quota, Seocho Samsung HQ rejects the proposal.

I've been developing a more elaborate variation on the "chat with a pdf" idea for my own use as a researcher. It's mostly designed for a historian's workflow but it works pretty well for science and engineering papers too. Currently Flash 2.0 is the default but you can select other models to use to analyze pdfs and other text through various "lenses" ranging from a simple summary to text highlighting to extracting organized data as a .csv file:

(Note: this is not at all a production ready app, it's just something I've been making for myself, though I'm also now sharing it with my students to see how they use it. If anyone reads this and is interested in collaborating, let me know).

Wow I just tried this and it's great!

I regularly paste papers into LLM interfaces but they all spit out generic non-helpful answers. Your app is the only one i've seen that actually helps me understand.

I am using Gemini 2.0 pro

> This is powerful evidence that even though models are trained to output one word at a time

I find this oversimplification of LLMs to be frequently poisonous to discussions surrounding them. No user facing LLM today is trained on next token prediction.

This is why, whenever I can, I call RLHF/DPO "sequence level calibration" instead of "alignment tuning".

Using bun has been a great experience so far. I used to dread setting up typescript/jest/react/webpack for a new project with breaking changes all over the place. With bun, it’s been self contained and painless and it just works for my use. Can’t comment on the 3rd party libraries they are integrating like s3, sql etc but at least it looks like they are focused on most common/asked for ones.

Thanks for the great work and bringing some much needed sanity in the node.js tooling space!

Bun is amazing. It’s a life hack for me. Chatgpt doesnt know much about it so there’s some productivity hit but i love bun.

Couldn't think of a project that was more doomed to fail than a competing alternative to Node.js, but glad that I gave it a shot when I needed to create lots of stand-alone scripts to process text files and SQLite DB updates which I was able to create with TypeScript, bun:sqlite [1] and bun $ Shell [2] working OOB without needing to manage any configuration files or local npm dependencies.

I've since tried it with new JS/TypeScript Projects which also makes use of its built-in Bundler [3] and testing support [4], installing deps is also instant. Having everything work OOB, fast, are real quality of life improvements where Bun has now become my first choice for any new JS project.

Same for me. I was in the “whats the point npm will have all these next year” camp. Finally tried bun and was blown away. Subtle things in DX add up. For my project Bun is so “next generation”.
