Second largest hydrocarbon power generator in the world. Unreal.

Something like 5 percent of AI datacenter usage is just optics.

You’ll have to clarify who the counterparties are to this contract and where the person whose credit card was stolen fits into it.

I’ve heard mixed things about the efficacy of Palantir’s software but it’s certainly something that they’re working very hard on doing.

It’s not hard to receive or filter mail - knowing that somebody will receive your email after you send it is another thing entirely.

That’s not true. 1. Libraries have used Authors Guild as legal cover to lend out ebooks for paper books that they own. 2. Google provided access to the whole book, that’s why they …

Too late. Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. is a good one too because Internet Archive got the exact opposite outcome in court for doing the exact same thing. I recognize the bul…

SpaceX is already 3x as expensive to short as the next biggest megacap. Good luck everybody.

When you realize that LLMs are “just” extremely efficient lossy data compression, it’s hard for me to see how it’s anything other than taking people’s shit, putting it into a gigan…

I thought we’re supposed to call them dwarf planets now. Dwarf star, dwarf planet.

Like online gambling, some things cause more harm than good.

Rather not take the chance of getting sued by EA.

Happy to do so but we’re gonna have to crowdsource an NVL72 first. I don’t have 10 million dollars.

I missed Flight Control so bad that I sent Claude on a wild goose chase to decompile the IPA in ghidra and rewrite it in Swift 6. Still working through it, obviously will never get…

Also a 3-bit quant. Useable but a long long way away from useful.

I feel like that's a threat that isn't super difficult to block. Unplug it from the internet, require it to go through an API intermediary to access web pages. Maybe I just don't h…

I thought it was cool too, though I understand AI use is a heated debate and I think people get their backs up that some dumb illiterate like me who can't code has ghidra on my lap…

Doubt it - Linksys encrypts their firmware. ASUS not only doesn't, but left everything in the binary that made it really easy for GPT-5.6 to crack it open and decompile everything …

Not run all of ASUS's unstable garbage software.

GPT-5.6 just finished writing a shim for me in rust that sits between Broadcom’s bullshit kernel and a standard Linux user space to turn my mesh routers into standard computers. At…

Making memory is easy. Packaging that memory within a few millimeters of a piece of silicon using TSVs and maintaining signal integrity on a 1024 bit bus is really, really hard. LL…

I know what I said. Lots of foreign money backed construction loans got wiped out. The buildings are still there, the project went bankrupt, and the world kept turning.

Japan in the 1990s, ME sovereign wealth funds in the late 2000s, China in the mid 2010s.

Don’t blame imports for our sclerotic country banning construction nationwide. Plenty of countries have spent billions on new construction in the US and gotten smoked. The building…
