Quote “So if you want to spot ai writing, look for bland, pretentious prose lavished with Latinate words—at least for now. With every update, our study shows, ai writing is becoming more similar to human prose.”

So AI makes you sound like modern political weasel wordsmithing.

If you look into modern Western philosophy, it is not much better. Instead it embraces moral nihilism and the only thing it teaches is do whatever you want.

I am Catholic. Catholicism is far from perfect. But it teaches two principles which I believe in. We are all brothers and sisters, equally deserving in dignity and respect. We are in this journey of life together and we should strive for the common good meaning we should help the less fortunate. People are not valued by how much tax they pay and cannot be discarded when they are no longer “useful”.

The ruling class received a classical education and many went on to a law degree. By becoming judges, solicitors, prosecutors, and politicians, they kept their position in society. Engineers, administrators, and medical doctors are not members of the ruling class. The former considered themselves natural leaders and determined society’s direction. Unless a humanities department belonged to one of the two universities the elite sent their children to, it was a fraud. They mimicked Oxford or Harvard but was not the educational institution the elite went to.

An executive order declaring a newly created legal entity is now the holder of all previous debt. The new entity has no assets or revenues, other than Trumpcoin.

What happens when you stick this malware into your windows PC? The PC is now an accomplice to fraud?

Are anyone building the battery you described?

I see the Mitsubishi one uses CO2 as the refrigerant. And the warranty lasts for ten years. And the model for cold regions recommends putting the outdoor unit in an elevated covered stand. I assume to keep the snow and wet away. I will look at the other models later. Thanks again.

If you think your competitors are committing financial suicide by borrowing money they don’t have to fund a project with a dubious rate of return, you wait and see.

Organizations today run every SAAS under the sun. Files and data are wired up in a hodgepodge with security usually being an afterthought. There are companies like Big Banks that do monitor all network traffic including traffic to their provisioned Google Drive or Clickhouse. A lot of companies only have logs which they feed to an alerting system which is after the fact.

Hey thanks. I'll be reading these in-depth. I am fascinated by Japanese appliance tech-wizardry. LOL about the mom using the intercom to get the kids out of the bath.

Wow that's interesting. If you have to do it all over again, would you still get the heatpump?

Before zero trust, once you logged in, you have access to the entire kingdom of resources/files/APIs etc.

To me, this sounds like zero trust version 2.0. The "brain" challenges agentic AI trying to access resources it normally doesn't access.

Personally, I like the name "Beyond Zero" because it isn't oxymoronic like "Zero Trust".

If you have a link to an "eco-cute" water heater, I would like to learn more. Thanks.

Government exists to serve the people. People do not exist so they can pay taxes. This was the very reason the Founding Fathers rebelled against Britain.

I see some places in the Japanese countryside where homeowners get propane tanks delivered to them for cooking? I believe in an earthquake prone country, this is safer than having natural gas piped to their homes?

The problem I think is that Japanese culture values hot baths daily. Heating water for the bath using electricity is still too costly.

It's like you said, they don't believe there is a viable business yet.

I would answer that heat is a form of energy. A horse pulling a carriage a 1000 yards requires more energy than pulling 30 yards.

When a car slams on the brakes the distance is too short to generate enough heat to deform. I would also suspect the treads would partially melt and deform before it catches on fire.

What I commonly see is people take a mental model that worked in the past and apply it in another context assuming it will work again. Irregardless of different constraints, people, or technologies. Agile cult members are the worst offenders. Second on my list are the HR pop psychology fads like Myers Briggs and Fish!

I agree when dealing with police in general the only thing you say is “lawyer”.

With CBP, we are in a gray zone. It is hard to know what to do.

Unfortunately I agree with James Mickens. If CBP asks me to turn on and unlock my phone, I do it.

It is the same advice that cops give to young black men in “the talk”. Comply, don’t get killed, hire a lawyer and fight injustice in court.

Reminds me of the time Tony Blair left office and went to work for JP Morgan Chase.

What I imagine every Italian family is like https://youtu.be/VIioLuSU7q8?is=isilOdAL8z1GSDw6

I watch mostly travel videos with the idea it being background noise. I prefer YouTubers who don’t talk much. Just show the energy or calm of the place.

CEOs say we are in a low fire, low hire economy. They view AI as important but not transformative.

If you have different endpoints contending over the same rows, I would create “backend batching”. I would force endpoints to call a stored procedure. The stored procedure would append only to a “queue” table. Multiple workers would read from the queue and update the real tables in batches then update the queue with success and error codes. The batches are partitioned by the PK to minimize lock contention.

That’s funny. Here’s one.

Lawyer: “Can a foreign citizen donate to a U.S. campaign?”

Judge: “No.”

Lawyer: “What if we put millions of them into a multinational corporation first?”

Judge: “Now you’re speaking constitutional law.”

I would wager they are non insured and going to the emergency room when desperate. As another poster linked healthcare costs have grown exponentially.

I don’t follow your logic. The recent legislative choice by the current administration is continued tax breaks, corporate tax holidays, and capricious tariffs. There is no serious discussion about the debt.

I have a hard time believing healthcare expenses is not in the top three.
