Like Stargate? We’re investing $0.5T! Well, over 4 years, but $100B now for sure. Well, maybe just $50B and we will borrow the rest, probably. Well… not today. it’s more of a “commitment” than an investment. OK, OK, we haven’t actually rais

I can understand wanting to be perceived as being on “the right team” but that comment is so silly that it undermines credibility. To put it otherwise, could you imagine a scenario where I had a labor, arbitrage opportunity that involved a

Policy and practice might not be the same thing. The company and the entire management staff should be on somebody’s blacklist for future procurement.

To be fair, reusable rockets and electric cars people wanted to drive were not in much supply prior to those companies. Then again, the boring company is probably only at a parity at best with other miners. I’m still not quite sure why we w

What really bothers me is how an independent investigator made a compelling case that identified a member of the DC metropolitan police as the suspect who placed a pipe bomb on Capitol grounds. Then after years of inactivity, the FBI sudden

They basically are. It really isn’t anything resembling an open market. They are effectively extensions of the state that happen to be funded by user fees rather than general funds.

Maybe, but if they spend more than $100/mo on alcohol, nails, or weed, then it’s a perspective problem.

Yes, Cuba definitely doesn’t have such wild delusions to the benefit of its residents. Please stop. Critical theory is easy. Something about “X” sucks. Got it. What is the alternative? It’s the completely unserious philosophy of the peanut

I am wondering if everyone is moving to an IPO and striking these bizarre circular deals because they’ve hit the ceiling on what can be done with more compute until a major architectural innovation happens. Still amazing, but 5.5 does feel

Adults aren’t the target market. I pay a premium because I know there are content standards and at least the big titles aren’t going to bombard my kids with inappropriate content.

So assuming you drive, when a police car gets really inappropriately close behind you for a couple minutes and then backs off, then they are probably using their eyes to look at your license plate and having someone run that or texting whi

Even given that I think solving the problem would require a certain amount of personal agency and volition to drive useful experimentation, and then you still have an inescapable problem that a design process is never verifiably done; it ju

Seems like a big deal. Surprised there isn’t much engagement here.

There are some comments which are identical to comments on X as well. That is not the say the frontier labs do not engage in highly unethical marketing, but this is a little bit too obvious.

I’m not really sure why Richard Dawkins would be an authority on AI. I can appreciate that culturally he was very influential, but there is not a lot of overlap between dunking on Christianity (exclusively) and understanding transformers. H

Liability would put all this to bed. Is OpenAI liable for malpractice if it misdiagnoses your issue? No? Then it’s no substitute. Being right is not nearly as important as being responsible. Unfortunately, there is widespread perception tha

I don’t think its time has come. I think there are a lot of software folks that don’t understand what the actual pain points of professional engineers and CAD technicians are. I think there is a niche where text-to-CAD is good: hobby users

Thanks for sharing. OpenSCAD skills seems like a great idea.

Worc.dev might be for you. I might call it Jupyter for engineers. Founder is a Mechanical I seem to see one or two of these CAD projects a week. It’s cool, but the real value is design automation specific to my problem domain. Modeling isn’

I know it’s really important to write and vocalize one’s alignment with the values of the day, but I don’t think language models being structurally incapable of offending your favorite race/ethnicity/caste should be an objective o

This is a pretty good used case for vibecoding. “Claude, take this project and rip out all the obnoxious monetization and vendor lock in.” It just might do the trick. I’ve been to get rid of a fair bit of paid software by just cloning the p

I was really hoping this was a leak of Warhammer 40K voice samples, but alas. My dreams of an imperial AI voice assistant go unrealized.

I was under the impression that Carl Sagan basically made up the concept of nuclear winter because of his political alignment. And, yes, every country should have nuclear power and nuclear deterrence. Please contrast how the US negotiated w

They also degrade their own direct services with little warning or thought put into change management, so, to be fair, Apple may be getting the same quality of service as the rest of us.

I suspect this is narrative shaping for future purposes. I think the military trying to frantically modernize and adapt is also a sign.

I think you’re not blaming political leadership enough. NAFTA, and other programs were always going to lead to the state of affairs we have now. This was a choice. Blaming greed is like blaming gravity.

The PRC government operates extrajudicial police forces outside their borders to keep the diaspora in line. I think they disappeared Jack Ma for a while. I suspect there’s something like that that goes on in the US, but I don’t have strong

China is thousands of years old. Angles and Saxons were running around with tribes in their furs when the Chinese had sophisticated social structures. The different trajectories probably have much more complex explanations than tenure in th

I find that very believable. My completely unsubstantiated conspiracy theory is that OnlyFans is a money-laundering and dragnet-style-blackmail campaign for unlawful mass surveillance. I can’t imagine a normal or even abnormal person paying
