I think one idea is that there aren't very many habitable planets. The Trisolarians are coming to Earth because it's their only option, not because they want to destroy humanity.

There is credible evidence that America's serial killer epidemic was directly caused by environmental pollution, especially heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Bringing back air po…

Can you recommend anything to read about Nelson that touches on his management?

I also recognized Jack’s incredible management skills! He knows exactly how to get the best work out of people and especially how to correct them without making them feel inferior …

I’ve had claude code create a practice project for me to learn SQL. I had it create 12 projects of graded difficulty with automated tests. It was super helpful. I had to revise the…

Until the people in charge face jailtime for hurting innocent people, why would they care? The government shouldn’t be warning, it should be ordering and imprisoning. And funding a…

That is false. Heat pumps are more efficient than burning gas in a home even when the electricity came from burning gas.

This one 5 years ago - https://www.thedrive.com/news/43060/coal-rolling-teen-that-h... I couldn't find out if he ever got convicted or sentenced to anything. But any cyclist, inclu…

I haven't enjoyed speaking to LLMs. I need time to form my thoughts and typing lets me pause and correct myself without feeling weird.

This kind of rhetoric is actually going to get cyclists killed. There are enough drivers on the road already who intentionally try to scare cyclists. This will push some of them ov…

Also not a good idea if you are a citizen with non-citizen family. I assume at this point that anything on my record will come back to haunt them.

It’s a good book but I didn’t agree that the big problem would be men lacking meaning because they didn’t have to work. They had families, homes and food. They could have devoted t…

Hybrid cars are mostly parallel hybrids. Only the Chevy Volt comes to mind as a serial hybrid.

No it’s not. The majority of power comes from the engine. It drives the electric motor mechanically, using it as a transmission. It is not just charging the battery.

I tried to find what the worst option is other than putting them in space and you can do a lot! Trucking diesel to the middle of the Sahara is a decent option in comparison to spac…

Me too. So long Reddit. You weren’t good for me anyway.

But they could do that because it didn’t cost them hundreds of billions of dollars to create Android and they could retain 99% of control over end users.

But I still don't get it. Like China could be come the world's leading producer of chocolate...if they started giving away chocolate for free. Would we be having this conversation …

I am also confused by this point. The American government could force OpenAI and Anthropic to open their models, but then they would instantly evaporate, right? It doesn't seem lik…

I thought it meant like this was an “Aha! Moment”

acoup.blog is the only blog I check individually.

That's actually the best take I've heard. It's like Amazon faking-it-till-they-didnt-make it with cashierless grocery stores.

You could build them at the South Pole, or at the bottom of the ocean and it will still be easier than putting them in space. Just think of maintenance. Oh no, your power supply bu…

It’s not an opinion it’s laid out clearly in the prospectus. Spacex is not a space company. It is a 2 trillion dollar AI company with a small launch business and a smaller ISP.
