Any publication to the right of Hillary Clinton is allegedly a threat to his existence; what a bad faith argument. Abandonment of truth in favor of "harm reduction" is the big pict…

They might be trying to "pick your brain" aka rip you off by learning enough details so they can replicate in house -- and maybe you're falling for it because you're "flattered". D…

"The Empire Strikes Back" or the shift and from "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" to "de-platforming works"; its not over its just getting started.

I see it as partially an income inequality story; many men are not achieving enough financial success to interest women.

Non-engagement with the thesis was the point, not the particulars of how he fell from polite society.

Suburbs have uniquely hostile road geometry for pedestrians, that's why they get a bad rap, but it's also a security feature.

Nextdoor sort of does that. They charge you $1 to verify your mailing address --then you get to post in your neighborhood group if you use your real name. Doesn't seem to have turn…

It would be more fun if you could only see friends-of-friends' reviews, but nobody wants to make their social graph public.

It has a very low information content; it demonstrates translation, summarization, sentiment analysis. The most interest bit is at the end where they make a pizza-order-taking-chat…

I think a multi-modal LLM could give Microsoft a real shot at the phone market. Apps overall will become less relevant as 1-LLM app rules everything. Google could fumble here becau…

The window of acceptable discussion does seem to be getting narrower and narrower.

Modern militaries can't really be divided, since in order to operate they needs huge amounts of money, fuel, logistic support. If a unit goes rogue their comms would be shutdown an…

War-game a civil war situation. I don't think its possible against a modern state -- I was going to type out a few but they are so ridiculous -- they quickly end with the rabble be…

I think its the contrast, the white is too bright.

Data is going to get locked up tight and only released for a king's ransom. Must be some investment opportunity here? Who has the shovels in this gold rush? LexisNexus? Elsevier? S…
