I didn't expect the direction of this article. I found notion limiting because it was (I'm not sure if this is still the case) online-only and slow. (I switched to Obsidian and have been very happy.) But I was using Notion as a pe

I'm not looking forward to when there's an AI pyschosis case where it turns out ChatGPT sold a bump stock or gave a bulk discount on fertilizer.

Well, sure, but it's been heavily overvalued territory for a couple years now. I'm not sure the quote about 200% is really relevant anymore, as (as far as I understand it) the "reasonable" bounds in terms of percentage a

I was wondering the same thing, but haven't found much. Sounds like it's only ever been a mobile installation - on a trailer, stryker, and a ship. Except for the ship, that probably means a relatively limited power supply. And its

In my experience, formatting is just about the only thing that a department/university cares about (outside of the folks on the committee), and they will send back a thesis until they're satisfied with the formatting, and that mea

God it's so much easier than LaTeX. I wrote so many things in LaTeX over the years, and writing (and debugging) switching to Typst felt like, well, like somebody had been fighting me every step of the way, and then finally stopped. I&#

Just in a cursory check into some of the other articles using the phrase, it seems like they're mostly cases where an investigator might encounter retaliation for speaking out. It's hard to imagine that happening for the present e

This article describes some secret service messaging about busting some basic (possibly?) criminal enterprise, how the NYT amplifies that messaging without question, and names a couple of experts who the author finds questionable (which is

Thanks for your comment and sources. I've found similar information already. What I was really looking for was, say, an in-depth legal analysis of B1 visas and visa waivers. But as far as I can tell now, there's not any really cle

Do you have a source describing the "illegality"? This is genuine question - I have not found a source digging into the legal question. The best I could find was a suggestion that their visa waivers were in fact correct for the pu

Even if they're a long shots, I always feel a little high from the hope of climate engineering projects. I guess freezing new water on top of existing ice might also increae the ice albedo, in the case that it's covered in some am

Thanks for the info! I didn't realize any of that.

Nothing in this article the declares one side "the winner" - it seems to be aimed at the government's cynical attempt to vilify "the left".

This is a funny but ineffective strawman° argument. On the other hand, it's given me inspiration for a test - an AI is conscious when it responds to a tricky question with "Brother stop annoying me, why you got all these dumb ques

Sounds like Unilever's communication was half baked, and now Jerry isn't feeling so cherry (garcia) anymore... I hope they work it out before the whole operation turns into phish food.

That's been my experience with BeReal as well. I seldom see posts from people I'm close with, and so I post less as well, and presumably that contributes to a similar feeling for other friends of mine. In fact, these days, I only

Well it's certainly a marketing move. I'm not convinced that it's clever.

To anyone considering watching this, it's really just a eulogy. I'm not sure when, if ever, the creator ever actually talks about accountability.

If a state attacks, just for example, civilian hospitals (which typically do not contain valid military targets) then, in my view, the burden of proof lies on the attacking state. Leaving aside, of course, the fact that attacking a civilian
