The developer tooling for the web, all the way down to ECMAScript is awful, but the web platform is powerful. Using node, npm, etc. for anything not targeting the web is an anti-pattern unless your team only understands that tooling.

We can define intelligence pretty easily. It's the ability to solve problems. The ability to solve problems depends on accurately predicting what your actions will do.

You're probably confusing intelligence with consciousness, which has no useful definition and is irrelevant for intelligence.

It's also the name of a fabulist whose stories Jean-Claude Van Damme's Bloodsport was based on as well as his eponymous martial arts style, Dux Ryu Ninjutsu.

PoI had full-take surveillance of domestic data, which Snowden's docs showed wasn't true, despite many people believing it before the dump. It's more similar to Flock.

He fired Tesla's PR department in 2020. They worked heroically to make him palatable to anyone who didn't look too deeply.

They predict what comes next and are very good at it. That's all intelligence is. What comes next in a pattern? What will my senses perceive next when I drop this ball? What is the next hypothesis to test after I made these measurements in the previous experiment? What is the best next move in this game after the current trajectory?

This is a Pixel 11 Pro XL killer. Better specs and runs the same software for normal users, but it also can run GrapheneOS like a Pixel.

It depends on the company building the data center and the competence of the government approving the plan. https://www.governing.com/infrastructure/rural-louisiana-roa...

Anybody who thinks this can be prevented from happening again is deluding themselves. I'm looking forward to the MSTR heist writeup when it happens.

EPA kids go to Menlo-Atherton by default, which already offers multivariable calculus. https://www.mabears.org/academics/departments/mathematics/ma...

Korean and Chinese IQ distributions were far below the American IQ distribution. They had the political will to change that. That's the point.

Headphones are also a great way to provide output back, and people are already used to wearing headphones in environments where speaking to their device doesn't make sense. You can put antennas in a boom, and nobody would bat an eye because many headphones already have boom mics.

> the truth is America has given up on "shifting the distribution" to the right.

The truth is that most voters don't care about education. People who run for school boards don't do so with policy recommendations backed by research. They do so solely on backgrounds as mediators between teachers, parents, and administrators. Yes, people skills are needed for the job, but people skills are needed for any job. Making people happy is not the same as getting things done, and you need someone who can do both in any job you are hiring for.

> Its impossible to do so at the lower end, without massive redistribution.

Korea and China have shown that it is possible with the political will. Jaime Escalante has shown that even instilling only student will is sufficient.

Almost every school district in Silicon Valley offers multivariable calculus in high school. In the ones that don't, the constituents are pushing to add it. Your description is precisely the opposite of what is happening in California.

It's not "to reduce variance in outcomes." It's "to increase the fraction of students who meet a minimum state standards bar," which is what the school districts and thus the schools are evaluated on. If the schools were evaluated on a metric that rewarded shifting the whole distribution instead of just getting the bottom performers up, we would see different educational priorities, and indeed, we see some of that already in school districts that don't have that many students that struggle to meet the minimum standards.

They're questioning Rupert Murdoch's tabloid-era New York Post, not Dorothy Schiff's liberal NY Post or Alexander Hamilton's Federalist NY Post.

They told China and Russia to take a hike, but their business in the US is so large that they gave in. Apple had so much business in China that it removed the TW flag emoji at China's request in a way that caused the font renderer to crash. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-china-censorship-bug-iphon...

Following local laws is not so bad. What's bad is when they politically support these despots after previously stating ideological opposition to similar despots in other countries. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/us/politics/sergey-brin-g...

That pi bill never became law.

Chromebooks run Android apps natively, so you can flip the screen around and use them as pure tablets or just use tablet apps in laptop mode just fine. For math, you can just write directly on the screen. In schools, kids playing Blooket/Gimkit/Kahoot on touchscreen devices crush those using a touchpad.

People act as if Chromebooks with touch screens aren't already considered a huge UX upgrade over Chromebooks without. Use your finger where it makes sense and the mouse where it doesn't. Literally nobody gets tripped up over this in practice.

> That would explain this at least:

There are more pedestrian explanations. https://www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/john-von-neumann-s...

It's referring to Samsung TVs.

It's still just 2. Google hasn't been at the top in a long while, and even when it was, it was just a tiny improvement over what other labs had previously released. Meta has never been at the top. Only two labs release LLMs that really push the limits out.

Does entertainment need a point? People like what they like, machines have been able to learn that for years, and they can now directly produce it.

These policies that allow locals to push back against state or federal government overreach were made with good intentions, but the reality on the ground is that the people who take advantage of these policies are not the poor and disenfranchised but the wealthy, and the way they wield their power is to slow down development that would help the masses. https://yimbyaction.org/chapters/peninsula-for-everyone/post...

He promised to make specifically that person whole if he tried it out.

Microsoft's implementation claims to get a speedup using AVX2.

The blog post is from 10 years ago. I'm sure it's much faster on modern hardware. I'd say that the main difference is that JPEG XL can be rendered directly in many applications, while Lepton files will have to be processed into JPEG out of your archives.

This will not ship with the demonstrated capabilities for reasons discussed elsewhere in these comments. GP isn't calling Tesla a vaporware company. GP is calling this product as demonstrated vaporware.
