The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q get to open frontiers, but one more question about just the NSF, which I think you, uh, you mentioned once for, for about Databricks, but also I think you're trying to target the LOD grants as sort of NSF level prestige and, and, and, and impact. I think one thing I, maybe it's like a spicy question is, well, what's broken about the NSF process are you trying to fix?

A Uh, I don't think NSF is broken. I love NSF. It has been probably the best investment the American popular public has ever made. Thousands X return on their investments. I mentioned Google earlier, Databricks, all these researchers came from NSF funding, and it's just been A paradigm generation. So DARPA was important for, at some point, there's been these, these paradigm shifts in how open research has been funded. DARPA was a key one. NSF's been a key one. And now NSF is not, is not big enough. It was one billion dollars a year for computer science and that they're trying to cut that into half of that, but we need 10 to a hundred billion dollars to do frontier AI research. So it's not broken. They are trying to break it. You need more is insufficient.

AI assessment note: “I don't think NSF is broken. I love NSF.”
