You dont need an LLM to figure out to make anthrax. Anybody who can figure out how to make a home lab can make all sorts of dangerous stuff pretty easily. Same with college grad from a respectable chemistry program. This all FUD.

If they aren't suing they are guilty as hell. Even if they were only most guilty they would sue; their legal dept knows they have no legs to stand on.

I lived next to the ghetto as kid in the 90s and my mom was driving me by a car of ghetto dudes and I absolutely blasted them with a super soaker as an 8yo. They also had super soakers we got hosed back. Greatest decade ever!

You have to make a distinction betweet query engines, datastores and batch compute. Trino is a federated query engine and lacks secondary indices, but can do all sorts of big scale stuff like distributed merge sort and spool to disk. The ty

That is exactly where all the high scale stuff like Trino and StarRocks have gone (and ClickHouse can use S3 as storage too). However, the problem you run into is when you want to index stuff- secondary indices are tightly coupled to the qu

SMR are a pipe dream IMO. Proper modern reactors can be built relatively quickly (see China using French designs) but our lawyer-driven system makes it impossible to build infrastructure).

Well that and the people who make decisions largely don't fly peasant. Remember that the US air force is mostly executive transport. The easiest way to make conditions get better is to make sure the people in charge have to use things,

Just put your iWatch (with LTE) into a 3D printed case; that gets you most of the way there minus battery life. What I'd love to see is a modern Sidekick. The form factor was basically perfect.

This is why you really need a good geologic, climate etc models. Like a full blown simulation.

A friend was working at an adtech company over a decade ago, processing smart tv data. Needless to say he advised buying the dumbest tv possible.

Most of the US airforce is executive transport. Clearly you dont actually know people higher up in government. As someone who dated a very high up state legislator in my state said: She totally doesnt care cause she doesnt suffer the conseq

Ah, Jira, the urinal of corporate cyberspace. You would literally be better off divining with some bunches of reeds than trying to figure out what the hell is going on with some stupid upside down Austrialian trash software.

At a FAANG adjacent company in 2017 we hired a guy from Google with 4 years experience who passed our very hard coding interviews. He literally couldnt code. It blew my mind.

It is insiduous how easy it is to stop thinking. When writing complex code it seems like most of the time it would have been faster just to write it myself and build a complete understanding of it. I swear if I asked most engineers at my co
