It's always by comparison to heavily subsidized sources of power, especially gas/oil/coal where environmental externalities aren't costed in... or by comparison to solar (which is great, but can't hack it alone). As

What about reading one means you can't read the other? Did I miss something in the article that demanded you ONLY read obituaries?

It was caught through review, and the defense claimed that he knew that would be the case and therefore he put no one at risk. I'd argue that systems can fail, review can fail, and if that happened people could have died. Giving him cr

You're describing one small part of the family of damages (in the legal sense), and that isn't how common law works. To draw from the rich vocabulary of HN, think of the opportunity cost imposed by the time wasted on preparation a

If it can't work as is, and it can't work in a way that removes cheating (which the university feels invalidates the results for all participants) then it can't work. Getting a load of students to prepare and participate only

Sue the university on the grounds that this was a reasonably foreseeable event with proven solutions, i.e. properly proctored, in-person testing. "We're too cheap to do it" isn't an excuse.

Probably done testing whatever it was, most likely some kind of tech for drones or maybe even the B-21 or F-47. Just like the "Flying triangles" from back in the 1980's and early 1990's were probably the F-117 and B-2 te

There's no question of whether Decker violated the law, he didn't, but he did enough to warrant an investigation and certainly enough to make GMU cover its ass. That's all we're talking about here, the question of legali

I read the substack post, and maybe we just have different ideas of what "explicit" means. Maybe to you couching the title in terms of a question made it less clear. To me it's all summed up in the closing: > The future is

Given the challenges involved in replication of studies like these, I certainly wouldn't let this one example change your established routines.

Crazy that a university would call the police when one of their students makes explicit death threats against the president. For people who struggle to understand why that isn't acceptable, imagine that the president was currently some

As far as I'm aware the only thing that works is very skilled use of focus groups and market research, although something similar exists in the world of politics too. At the end of the day though it's tough, people are often unawa

To summarize, because my that article does go on before getting to the "good" part: Removing the graphite anode from some batteries would make them cheaper and more efficient, but the downside is that they charge much more slowly.

Well yes, but that does ignore the story of how white farmers came to own most of the best farmland in Zimbabwe. Obviously the way they went about rectifying that historical iniquity was just about the worst approach possible, but that does

This is such a cynical and lazy marketing ploy, and frankly OpenAI does it better, eschewing dignity and reality and simply claiming that any day now AGI might emerge from their mess of servers. A promise made to sound like a threat, all de

Exactly, this is a much easier question to reframe: "Who gets the blame?" Well the person obviously, the person who created and implemented the agent, algorithm, program or other system should be blamed if things go wrong. By the

This is why the entire exercise of finding a place on a political spectrum is a trap and a scam, the only thing that really matters: Are you an extremist or a moderate? Because I can get along with a moderate person on the left, right, or a
