Actually the rule is that your solar system must stop feeding power to the utility if the utility is down. You are allowed to run in isolated mode if your system supports that. Yes…

It is definitely and absolutely caused by LLMs. I must do 20x more GitHub operations now, and since the agents know GitHub far better than me, I'm using more advanced features. Mul…

It would have been a lot more interesting if her has just explained Beads (the only thing her claims is novel). So probably there is nothing here. Very painful read.

Could this somehow be a scissor statement? This is simple logic, there is no motivation here. HYPOTHETICALLY let's say your uncle has an 80% chance of having cancer. Do you say tha…

Reasonable and true statements: - "He hinted at use of force" (he did!) - "I think he's implying the use of force" (you own your thoughts!) Problematic statements: - "He IS implyin…

The most important observation is that open source matches their business model, which is to provide fine tuning services for enterprises, etc. That what makes this a (potentially)…

The hard way was tariffs, you know that. Now you’re saying he didn’t actually make a threat, but he implied one? Which means you’re assuming his intent to be whatever makes for the…

It’s not a threat, and yes it’s atrocious statesmanship. Did he hint at the use of the military? YES Was that offensive on both sides of the atlantic, inside and outside of diploma…

Yes, he definitely refused to rule out use of military force! But that really and truly is not a threat to use military force. Consider the following hypothetical: - * IF * the que…

I agree that Trump is a terrible statesman! Also a buffoon, cad, lout, charlatan, and swindler. But apparently he never threatened to invade Greenland (assuming thats the best evid…

With AI there will always be people who learn more, faster using AI. And there will be people who use AI to avoid learning. When moving abroad, I hope folks will do the former (and…

On first reading I assumed you meant the physical laborers would have the stronger social network, and the wealthy would be more isolated (true in my experience). But you may have …

From the article: > The new year was only three weeks old and President Trump, after removing Venezuela’s autocratic strongman, had briefly threatened to seize Greenland from Denma…

The right way to age-restrict is for parents to configure certain devices as kids devices, and then it would be easy for any service to know if they are communicating with one of t…

Between $5-10T of the US economy is subject to export controls. Nobody disputes that Mythos is dual-use technology, which means it has been export controlled since the day it was c…

Interesting trivia: 90% of people don’t know the definition of decimate

While extreme cases are the easiest to imagine, in real life the plaintiff almost always argues to pierce the veil and the defendant always argues the opposite, and both sides earn…

One approach is for parents to establish certain devices as “under 18” (or 16 or 13), leaving it up to the judgment of parents.

Human drivers are killing people, not the cars. Weirdly NYC just blocked Waymo again.

Note to Europeans: Americans use credit cards and rarely debit cards because here the terms on debit cards are so much worse (for contesting charges, etc), so debit cards never rea…

Right and so they need to work out whether nerfed Mythos is dual use. I doubt that it should be, can’t wait to have it back as soon as possible. In the near future we may have a fl…

Dario (of Mythos): "Companies we gave it to said – this is a super weapon. you should have to own a gun license to use it. please don't release this" Mythos is clearly dual use (an…
