They also used Claude in a fairly sophisticated way to design their missile guidance system (PDF, search for GTG-87001). https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/e50be2e51e7695dc4b1366a37a245a...

How exactly would you recommend criticizing the actions of the State of Israel then, without being labeled antisemitic? I'm sick of this equivocation. Nobody is claiming that Jewish people in general manipulated Trump into touching the

Why would you attribute to genius what is more likely explained by idiocy?

No, Trump's administration is straight up criminal. The guy has made ~3500 stock trades in the last 3 months, and there's a pattern of him publicly pumping stock by mentioning a company in a tweet or public statement. The problem

I support this. The purpose of a home is for people who live in the area to live in, not to be a speculative investment. This is part of the reason we have a housing shortage in the US: 20% of available homes are purchased by investors, whi

It's only a certain subset of the population that speaks like this. It's pompous and ridiculous. Are the two syllables in the word "request" one too many for people working in Product?

A distinct people? That's a myth. Every American is an immigrant, or descended from an immigrant.

> this administration clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into All of the advisors in the room with Trump (Cheung, Caine, etc.) told him explicitly after the meeting with Netanyahu that attacking Iran was a horrible ide

I don't think so. During that time the potential of LLMs to eliminate work wasn't obvious. That was pre-hype explosion.

ICE is now a fascist paramilitary operation, and in my view, they are no longer legitimate. They lost that claim when they began violating the constitutional rights of citizens and immigrants alike as a matter of policy. They must be abolis

He keeps claiming falsely that he's "ended 8 wars," but at this point he's actually attacked 8 different countries. Up is always down with these people.

Not only aid, it was a powerful tool for the extension of American soft power around the globe. But I guess we're no longer able to reason in the abstract beyond "helping people is woke."

By the way, this is just the estimate from Pete Hegseth, who has demonstrated himself to be an unreliable narrator. This administration seems to have difficulty with numbers in general, accurate numbers in particular. The real cost is likel

xAI is working on virtualizing white collar workers. I'm guessing this is part of that. See also: companies buying up the Slack and email archives of defunct startups, for training data.

Great write up... curious about the RCA. Thanks!

Hardly a party trick. My car handles 97% of my driving and it's on old hardware. Have you actually tried HW4? It's definitely on par with Waymo. Also, I guarantee you FSD would recognize a mattress as an obstruction.

It's an alias that only applies to Federal employees. The Congressionally-legislated actual name of the department is still Department of Defense.

Exactly. "Department of War" is guidance that applies only to Federal employees, and the Department of Defense was named through Congressional legislation. That is still the department's name, whatever Trump decrees.

by electrondood 10mo ago
Fun fact: The Department of Defense was named through legislation. Trump's EO that "renames" it only applies to Federal employees as guidance. No one else needs to call it that, and it's still legally the Department of D

It was well-litigated by the Trump administration, and none of their frivolous claims held up. They lost ~60 of their 63 court cases, and the 3 they won were technicalities. 2020 was a free and fair election.

Seriously. Who is going to buy another Futurehome product knowing that they feel entitled to extort their customers, whose only alternative is to remove the devices integrated into their home?

Waymo has been "scaling" down the Peninsula from SF for about 18 months now, and it's still not generally available. Tesla can scale by simply adding vehicles.

I disagree. Most rideshares happen in urban areas, where people are liberal. Liberals hate Musk. If you have the choice to take MAGAtaxi or a Waymo, as a liberal that's an obvious choice.
