This pairs interestingly with that piece on how the Anthropic engineer raising the red flag is likely trying to gin up popular support for heavy AI regulation. This looks like more of the same. I'm guessing we'll see a whole PR pu

But when anyone causes gps to be degraded, a NOTAM is rapidly released.

The problem here is the assumption that if the US mil weren’t jamming GPS it wouldn’t be getting jammed. GPS is trivially easy to jam for any state actor, and it’s not “macho” to say that pilots always need to be able to safely conduct flig

That's not accurate. Navigationally critical VORs are continuing to be maintained, they're just turning off the podunk redundant ones. VOR Candidate Retention List | Federal Aviation Administration https://www.faa.gov&#

The technology hasn't demonstrated the required level of reliability yet. Several companies are getting close, and and early attempts by the companies listed in this thread have paved the way for the FAA to start rolling out the proces

I heard elsewhere they were extending loans to startups with pre-IPO shares as collateral, so yeah, that was their best option apparently.

Go office space, and work construction. Maybe you'll get motivated to do something less menial, and who knows, maybe you'll like it.

My biggest gripe isn't teams-specific, it's that MS office products still won't support multiple logins. With Google I can be logged into my 4 different work, personal and business accounts simultaneously and switching betwee

The "it's a numbers game" thing is a hack to get people out of the trap of not seeing enough new people. You're on the other end of the chart. Commitment is a learnable skill, not something that goes easily once you find

This was uncomfortable but there was a lot of truth in there. I'd end with an adoption plug.

That's worth emphasizing: I'm pretty sure successful marriages are based on people being committed to figuring things out, not to the initial chemistry. It's trajectory, not starting point.

Coffee can be an artificial/uncomfortable setting. My favorite first dates (depending on how wet met) were bowling, board games with other friends, or the shooting range. Especially the last one; a little bit of discomfort is a fantast

As an alternative I suggest just listing out deal breakers and following up with anyone who doesn't violate them. Second pass is incongruence. The best advice I every got on hiring was to not hire people whose projected persona wasn&#x

I get the argument from the fed about hedonic adjustments and increased quality of life, but that's not how people measure their happiness. Subjective happiness is how you're doing relative to those around you. The hedonic adjustm
