Releasing open weights that can approach frontier level intelligence (irrespective of number of tokens burned) is just a way of telling the world that anyone, even China, can serve…

Issue 4 is incredible, I bought a damaged copy for a buck and it was the best literary dollar I have ever spent!

Seems like a common-sense approach. I appreciate the emphasis on understanding, humans will eventually be held accountable, blaming Claude for an outage is not going to get Claude …

I like the ev6!

Penderecki did most of the heavy lifting there

NTS was 60-80 mi away from Las Vegas. yes there might be safer locations for an underground nuclear test, but how many of them offer the same "F U" PR capacity relative to Mexico/J…

My guess is nuclear test. Airport circle to secure the transport of the device to the ground adjacent to the test site. Trapezoid is the test site, wider on the side that is less c…

Love everything he's ever done. Phones and skiing don't mix. Dropping a paper trail map off the lift won't ruin your run. Dropping your phone will. Why spend time thinking about wi…

Horses never figured out how to get government bailouts.
