Neat info. I would guess that Toyota produces twice as many vehicles per employee at least in part because the regulatory and social environment where Toyota operates is better. There is often an underlying sensible economic reason for doin

NERVA / RD-0410 are basically like chemical rockets but better (maybe 800s specific impulse, vs. 300 for a chemical rocket). In contrast, Orion was 6,000s to maybe 100,000 theoretically.

It could be monologue or dialogue, but it should be less full of verbal "syntactic sugar" than NotebookLM podcasts. More to the point, more detail-oriented, can pronounce math. Can pronounce math is the real showstopper for me. La

1) you aren't able to listen to something safely while driving on the highway? 2) the cars pretty much drive themselves on the highway these days

I'd like to have audio overviews of scientific papers, so I can "read" them while I drive. NotebookLM/Gemini Notebook sorta does this, but the two-person podcast format is kind of annoying and it can't pronounce mat

That's a pretty unfair read in my opinion. Whatever the Mullvad guy supports (it is...a bit difficult for me to understand), it isn't the KKK. It isn't even close to the KKK. Not comparable. And he owns half the company, whic

It isn't. China's murder rate is about 0.5 murders per 100,000 people per year, while South Africa's is 44 per 100,000 people per year (assuming both countries report honest statistics). That's an 88x difference between

>half the calls could be handled by folks without guns. Let me point out that you must know which half before the fact for this to be of any use. Sometimes you might be 95% sure no guns are required. Is that good enough? What does that

Populations across the world are not comparable in a variety of ways, including in a "best-case" base criminality rate. So you can't compare per-capital rates of imprisonment and go, "Gee, that's high in Country X c

Yabbut...we sort of need to make it up as we go along. This is unprecedented! Thinking machines! That said, there is stupid "making it up" and smart "making it up". But it does need to be made up.

I'll remind you about 1972: https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/ “People have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred domestic bombings in the United States.” — Max

I get that this is in the news (or at least the nerd news), but really...do y'all canvass the companies you buy things from, figure out on net who the people who work for them support in politics, ask whether that's what you lik

Mass shootings kill almost no one. They're a red herring. Even with a really stupid, inclusive "3 or more people injured" criterion. If you use that criterion for defining what a mass shooting is, the modal number of people k

Yeah, I mean it's bad in this really direct, near-term way. But we couldn't keep going the way we were going. It was insane. Pants-on-head retarded. And so my read, and my hope, is that this current period of trouble is the price
