My real question is not whether it would achieve anything meaningful, but what would be the side effects of such a strike on allies in the region. I don't have a remotely decent mental model of fallout etc from modern nuclear weapons -

I struggle with the idea that AGI (which I don't think is coming via LLMs, but sidebar) will improve the outcomes of lives and not end up as a tool of privilege and control. Pitch me on this utopian outlook, because nothing about any o

Precisely! There are two key components: - I believe the law is overly proscriptive / strict / wrong. - I believe I won't get caught It's no different to someone speeding because "It's clear condit

Every rural area I've ever worked in had a non trivial number of folks who would have 2-3 drinks at the bar/whatever on a Friday or a Saturday and drive home. It was not alcoholism, it was "I'm totally fine to drive, th

> The phone rings, he can’t answer, the customer hangs up and calls someone else. That’s a lost job — sometimes a $450 brake service, sometimes a $2,000 engine repair — just gone because no one picked up. Sure, that's a problem, but

Speed limits are a terrible proxy for actual risk, but the only reasonable way a government can implement anything tending towards "ffs stop killing each other whilst driving too fast for the conditions".

Yeah, I'd have to go slower ???? Anyway. I come from the UK where we've had camera based enforcement for aeons. This of course actually results in people speeding and braking down to the limit as they approach the camera (which

Reminds me of the FT article on the UK's energy transition and how costs were being spread through the system. https://www.ft.com/content/86fdb9e4-3db4-4e4f-8e47-580a1fad2... Made some reasonable points imo

I do not believe that teachers are working 9-5 if the children are arriving at 8am. Though to be fair I don't either, so doesn't much matter.

> automatically kicking a user off would also probably be bad. No. "Sorry, subscription has expired, please re-up your account" is an extremely reasonable UX. The whole "free period but we'll auto bill you after"

There won't be a re-do, there will be a feature request pipeline. Correct is a term of art and unlikely to come into it. If you start losing customers because of reliability, they'll ask Claude to fix it. If that doesn't w

It's simply a case of looking back and deciding this technical revolution is identical to the ones preceding it. Thus jobs destroyed will be replaced with new jobs, it always happens that way. Of course past performance is no guarante

imho Sinner and Alcaraz didn't solve the "overpowering aura" so much as the physical wear and tear took the trio down enough pegs to be much more attainable, and Djokovic is still competing impressively well.

Assuming the someone is private equity buying out, I expect the quality to drop like a stone and the place to go to hell. So. It's not suspicious. But you can rest assured as a customer it isn't good news (that doesn't make

You'll use a ton of AI but it won't wipe the humans out. In the end you'll have a compositional change, likely nothing catastrophic imo. In part because there is a buck to stop and Claude ain't got no hands...
