I think Prof Woodward's quote in the article will likely hold true for Apple's response to the original UK government request: "It was naïve of the UK government to think they could tell a US technology company what to do glo

The digressions started with the first mention of the term in question by SSLy, not just the descriptor you mentioned. That user was probably pointlessly baiting, knowing that the nonstandard term would set someone off, which has led to th

I'm not sure what you think you're adding here. That the legislative branch doesn't have power over the executive is the point of my comment and the above comment referred to in it.

I don't think these two things necessarily go hand in hand. If the head of the executive branch should have absolute control over the branch, as the above user suggested, then if congress wants to control government agencies that are

You may be thinking of a green card. Once someone is granted citizenship in the US, they're no longer considered a foreign national.

It doesn't appear that DOGE is handling the problem with the appropriate amount of care or analysis, but the US does have a deficit problem. The issue is not simply that the US has a deficit, nor have I heard anyone argue this point,

According to the article, he first sent the money to Kraken to presumably purchase cryptocurrency there and was later convinced to move the cryptocurrency to a different Hong Kong based platform. The supposed platform in Hong Kong may have

The implication would be that those API requests are being sold at a loss. Amodei wrote in January that Claude 3.5 Sonnet was trained for only a few $10Ms, but Anthropic has been losing billions.

Completely irrelevant. The Manhattan Project wasn't funded by VCs with an expectation of a return.

No, I didn't misread it. I originally thought about making it more general, in reference to "employees", but who other than developers are going to write the wording of a software patent as a side project? Certainly not accou

This blog post was likely inspired by an article published by Bloomberg yesterday, about how basketball had fallen into an efficiency trap, centered around avoiding mid-range shots in favor of threes and high percentage close range shots.

It's basically just seems like a riff off of a Bloomberg article published yesterday, titled "The NBA Has Fallen Into an Efficiency Trap", without any of the details in the article, besides the 3-pointer trend chart, which is

Sure, the sensors collecting the altitude data might have been faulty, but the helicopter pilot was reportedly 50% higher than was allowed. You would think that an experienced helicopter pilot would be able to gauge that they were a full 5
