In Toronto, the 427 is ~100m from the edge of 24R.

You're making an assumption that the outcome would have been different if that wall wasn't there. You're wrong. 50m past that wall is another wall, 5m after that is a highway.

The wall is a red herring. The plane landed halfway down the runway at high speed. Something bad is going to happen if you do that at any runway on earth. In SFO you'll end up in t…

Canadians who visit any major American city for a day think we're basically the same. Canadians who visit for a year think we are totally different.

I believe the speaker, when saying that physicists have stopped asking "what is matter", means that physicists have focused themselves on questions about the rules that govern matt…

I highly recommend the book "The Jakarta Method" for those interested in this topic area.

We need to ban the word "conscious" until people can agree on what it means. That being said, its obvious to me that many animals have similar emotional complexity to humans, and m…

I suspect this is a reference to a famous privacy-related module in the facebook codebase circa 2010ish, which had a docstring something like "DO NOT TOUCH. YOU WILL BE FIRED". Cou…

Silicon Valley culture encourages lying and some of its leaders are the biggest liars. I am more willing to believe that SBF is an earnest product of this culture who got in over h…

Sam is a crook, no doubt, but even now I find him a funny figure. His trial defence was awful. He sincerely believes he was trying to do the right thing, so spent his time on the s…

Yes. The bet is still that the airlines can find viable routes to fly with a vehicle that creates sonic booms.

I say this all as a YIMBY who is very happy to see 20k new units added to vancouver: something feels off about the plans for the Jericho lands but I can't describe it. I feel like …

Highly recommend people read that NYT article. That the CEO had reported issues with Altman to the board hadn't been previously reported. Paywall free: https://web.archive.org/web/…

Over what time period did you get 57 sales? If it was in a month or two, that's still excellent growth starting from zero. Do you have any insights about the type of people who pai…

It's clear that OpenAI has become something that it wasn't intended to be at it's founding. Maybe that change happened for good reasons, but the fact that there was a change is not…

Concentrated vs. diffuse greed.

Not gonna lie I upvoted this post based only on the title.

This is true in a sense but also it isn't. Our institutions spend a lot of resources on preventing things from happening, are successful, and the people who work in these instituti…

20x is roughly the revenue multiple between nvidia and open ai and they are businesses with similar margins.

Agreed, don't sweat the runners high, enjoy it!

I think all of this is legit and one shouldn't feel bad or "old" to say it.

There’s no conflict between the facts that married people as a population are happier, and also that allowing people to leave marriages also makes them happier.

Are you suggesting we restrict divorce in order to reduce male suicide?
