Jev processed about 30k tokens in roughly 160 ms; a dense 70B model on an 8×H100 node would need around a second, while a MoE with about 10B active parameters fits. And most of the strongest recent base models (DeepSeek-V3, Qwen3, GLM-4.5, Kimi K2, gpt-oss) are MoE. Specialised hardware could let a dense model match the speed, and benchmark scores may overstate how much knowledge the model holds, so this remains an inference, not a measurement.

The experiments can’t tell a causal decoder from a bidirectional encoder: in both, the final decision can read the whole input. I assume a causal decoder anyway, for good reason. Jev’s breadth of knowledge (84.6% on MMLU-Pro) requires frontier-scale pretraining, every model at that scale is a causal decoder, and TypeSafe describes RLCD as post-training a pretrained language model. A bidirectional Jev would mean either a far weaker base or converting a decoder at extra cost, while giving up the shared-prefix caching that causal serving provides. That would be surprising, but it can’t be ruled out from the outside.

The important distinction is between reading out probabilities and generating text that describes probabilities. A generated “91%” is a token sequence. A classifier’s 0.91 is an entry in its predictive distribution. Either can be miscalibrated. Neither becomes trustworthy solely because of its format.

It means loving one’s neighbors, including neighbors who have crossed a border. It means seeking peace rather than glorifying war.

Christian nationalism raises the question of who counts as part of the nation — and, implicitly, who counts as part of the Christian community. Hegseth’s religious politics have attracted scrutiny because of his association with a conservative Reformed Christian milieu and his willingness to amplify figures and institutions associated with Christian nationalist ideas. That should concern Christians not because Christianity should be banished from public life, but because Christianity is too important to be reduced to a tribal identity. There is no nationalism in the Sermon on the Mount; there is no exceptionalism in the Last Judgment.

Parallel institutions in security, adjudication, money, and mutual aid need to be established to reduce dependency on the central state. Perhaps most importantly, decisions about taxation and regulation should only take place at the very local level and only property owners and net tax contributors should be allowed to participate in those decisions being made – the ones who own the territory and the ones who fund the programs. Non-cooperation weakens the central state. Secession increases exit opportunities and competitive pressure. The long-term goal is the complete replacement of state monopoly.
