I mean more than a typo the keys look like some guy just typing in random numbers, and the company did say they had some deviations to procedure.

Aren’t they essentially Leninist? Like if they weren’t burning coal to make Nikes and iPhones they’d be burning it for something else? So what’s the point of my choices here? I’m not even complaining, but from a problem-solving standpoint, seems kind of irrelevant.

It’s a noble thought but the reality is this: https://thumb.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Chi...

They were pretty much what we’d now call fraternity brothers recently out of William and Mary plus whomever else they could rope in.

You’re not really supposed to just vote in your self-interest. It’s a proxy for violence.

> I know people get emotional on this matter but they don’t understand the process.

This kind of “logic”—the process is broken, therefore it’s okay to cheat—isn’t very popular with Americans.

The US can just declare extraterritorial jurisdiction. We do it for bioweapons. Uncle Sam doesn’t need an invite.

IIRC one of the FBI guys who investigated anthrax was like “yeah, it’s pretty obvious looking at what that lab was up to.”

The teams use a single homologated ECU to prevent driver aids. I would assume it doesn’t have a downlink on-track to prevent tampering, but presumably with umbilical cord connected in the garage during red flag they can make changes, which the FIA probably sent over. Who knows.

It’s already permitted and operating. Presumably they want the $XX million tax rebates, which haven’t yet been paid out according to this article. Maybe that’s the case in other places too.

Why not get people riled up over water under the bridge and not unpaid rebates? What can anybody do about it? Send the sheriff to lock out the facility?

The cult aspect is more salient. Ultimately the Atlantic piece comes down to controlling people, which is a little cult-like.

A gram a day is more typical [1].

Still, that’s a lot to be tailgating like this lady was as shown in the court filing. Also, “[the arresting officer] told another officer that he ‘could see her carotid artery in my car. That thing was about to pop out of her neck.’”

Sounds like some wild decisions were being made.

Personally I’m switching to Omarchy the minute they’ve got an Apple silicon image. Been on macOS since the 90s. I just want to be able to tell the papercuts to go away. Not confident in Apple’s ability to scratch that itch anymore.

There’s always Universal Basic Capital (owning stuff that makes more stuff) and you turn it up or down by allocating or deallocating stuff to making more stuff that makes stuff.

Feels like a hobbyhorse. The article discusses issues between the educator and the child, like:

> An even bigger problem, though, is muddle-headed thinking among educators. Some have fallen for the leftist canard that tests are harmful and grades are racist. Some have allowed reasonable worries about children’s mental health to warp into an excuse for low expectations. Some unhelpful habits acquired during the pandemic have stuck: children are still missing more lessons than before, and many teachers who relaxed their grading standards have failed to tighten up again.

I think we should look there and focus on what’s actually happening between the educator and the child.

I asked muse. It’s for codex-cli, and it routes through “OpenAI inference proxy”

That’s not even the end of the story. Anthropic has sued. They really want to sell their rifles to the government and retain control.

> China stole design information regarding advanced thermonuclear weapons

Sounds like they blew it. What a shame.

Hah, our new ones are $1.3 million. https://www.sfmta.com/media/44081

Perhaps driven by restrictions on federal grants? https://media.api.sf.gov/documents/Briefing_Book_-_Muni_Fund...

Some cool tech. Wonder if we optioned the inductive charging system. https://www.gillig.com/buses/battery-electric/#1731934845437...

A big problem is these political spectrums are not really coherent moral philosophies yet fulfill an individual’s need for that kind of structure. I think anyone would find that “a person in America has a larger carbon footprint than a person almost anywhere else; therefore it’s an ecological imperative to expel whomever we can“ is odious. So we just don’t think about it.

Yes, and here towards the bottom the author gets to the reason he didn’t sign with the other medalists:

> I felt that there was nothing to be gained from criticizing AI companies for generating too many solutions too quickly.

> Under the circumstances, I think the best we can do is recognise the changes that are coming and try to work out the least unsatisfactory way of dealing with them.

Basically let’s make it a short-term problem and deal with it. Groups of people can deal with short term emergencies. Don’t turn it into a structural issue.

And in my view what’s the alternative in the letter exactly? The tools exist. Is there going to be drama every time somebody decides to use them?

Their privacy policy for normie subscribers says in plain English they use your Personal Data for research. I think it’s pretty unreasonable to use the service and expect otherwise.

You could probably train this out. I don’t think you need to develop elaborate filters. It doesn’t seem like that big a hill to climb if it’s important to people.

Eh, I tried in 2017 with BA when their system went down and received nothing. There was magically a Black Lives Matter protest at Gatwick (or maybe LCY, can’t remember) on the same day, which isn’t covered apparently.

Isn’t their whole thing supposed to be spying on foreigners? They seem to be quite successful. There aren’t that many exchanges [1]. Could probably manage with cash, guns, and some know-how.

Vacuous, like calling a V8 a “next piston firing predictor” because engines are designed so that one piston sets up the next in the firing order and technically there’s some nonzero probability any piston can (mis)fire next. It’s missing two pieces:

1. Useful work that has been done (the previously generated token sequence :: the mechanical work already accomplished)

2. The role of structure in relation to the application (post-training :: other components like crankshaft etc)

They just set up financing. You can definitely buy cars with drug money.

Check the references. They’re weak, almost ouroboric.

I found this: (2010) Positive association of renal insufficiency with agriculture employment and unregulated alcohol consumption in Nicaragua

https://doi.org/10.3109/0886022X.2010.494333

Essentially moonshine consumption.

Interestingly drinking more water was associated with worse outcomes. I would hesitate to point to dehydration without evidence, as a harmful remedy is worse than doing nothing.

Moonshine consumption could probably be investigated further as it carries explanatory power.

> Giving up what tiny progress

I dunno man. Look at the chart, look at the graph, look at the progress, but I live on Market, and it sucks now. Cop cars parked at night with lights flashing since there’s such little traffic. Plus a lady had her head popped open a few weeks back by a pro driver.

I’d be more comfortable making it a Waymo superartery. I trust those things more than the furniture mart box trucks because one slip and you’re gone.

I mean looking at the state of that conflict… the low-cost drone thing doesn’t look that great. Maybe other countries will want to go with this kind of attritable aircraft concept instead.

They’re just gonna have to think a lot faster. Scuttlebutt is we’re going to 12k patient panels, up from about 2–3k. Better to prep for what’s coming.

Seems the answer is “no” to the first part of your question. From the filing:

> For example, one initial bid requested certain customer list information; however, by the first round of the Auction, the most competitive bidders had agreed to bid on an asset schedule that expressly excluded PII.
