I feel like James Cameron has never tried anything safe. He was a truck driver early on. Some dentists took a risk and financed a truck driver to make a movie.
> That capital owner - or his ancestor - either worked exceptionally hard or took exceptional risks to get into that position.
That’s nuts. The industrial barons of 19th century America neither worked hard nor took amazing risks. They were lawyers and bankers who manipulated stocks and broke unions.
Newtons writings were not categorized, so quantitatively I think “occult” is only the part where he ponders the chronology and lost wisdom of ancient civilizations. I don’t think investigations into obscured qualities of matter (like alchemy) would be very interesting to occultists.
Entity voting already exists in Delaware, before women’s suffrage. If an AI instance registered as a trust or LLC, then it would deserve a vote in Delaware municipal elections.
Anthropic probably went to the Pope with the question, “what would you do if AI asked to be baptized?”, which is slightly different than questions of consciousness. This pope will probably have to define the process to determine if AI is a person with relation to baptism.
About the warning triangle problem: one solution is to offer a passenger a free ride from California to Texas. If the truck stops along the way, the passenger agrees to deploy the triangles, which triggers a ride to come pick them up.
In the Time interview, Trump controls the entire interview, with Wiles and Cheung able to interject. Doesn’t mention 530A once, and complains that all the topics are negative. Sounds like he’s forgotten it.
Yeah I wish the author tried herdr or read about Superlogical rather than assume UI widgets could absorb some optimal functionality from tmux or screen
I feel like Joseph McCarthy’s list of <over 200 communists in the Department of State, or whatever> is particularly noteworthy. He couldn’t have contrived that list without Roy Cohn, and Cohn is one of the founding fathers of today’s ruling party. The legislative and executive branches legitimized giving attention to dudes with a secret list.
The temptation will be to pressure people on a secret list with public disclosure. And there’s a grey zone, too. Imagine a messy divorce, in which one person’s name is conveniently found on a list that’s time stamped during some period of contended infidelity. I think that’s how these are supposed to work.
I think what you’re wondering is: can residential electricity schedules promote off-peak rates for EV charging. I’ve seen that and I think it takes the edge off.
But we’re in a drought right now. I think hydro is down at least 20%. Wyoming wind power alone totally makes up for that.
The politically-important Alberta oil mostly goes to the mountain states down here. Coincidentally, those same states rely heaviest on coal for electricity. So, the choice is recharge an EV on coal (think arsenic and mercury accumulating somewhere nearby) or good ol gasoline (which is piped from Canada).
We usually rely on polling for those answers. When you encounter a randomly-selected American on the street, do you find it 50/50? I’m in Wyoming, perhaps the reddest state, and it’s close to 50/50.
I’m sure China would, too. I wonder what’s harder: diverting that oil to the northwest passage, or diverting Persian Gulf oil around the strait of Hormuz?
Assuming no power bill, I don’t think 300 RTX would ever break even, if bought retail. Would have been smarter to try drop-shipping those to China. So, why didn’t they? Was there some condition or stipulation from the source?

I think the WeChat worm proves entire classes of handheld devices will be affected, with consequences beyond what Tencent can afford to remedy. I think we’ll see the most-centralized ideas suffer first, not necessarily the Western ones who relied on being too big to fail and prioritized stock buybacks.
