When I tried NotebookLM on a long project management training deck, I thought the male voice sounded quite a bit like Leo Laporte. The format and banter seemed similar, too.

> Turns out it was all caused by one really well-connected finance scammer with a private island and no conscience. I wouldn't bet on Epstein being a one off. Probably a major player if not the biggest though.

The depravity also gets served up to you on a silver platter when you are at that level.

The whole thing in every contact made as part of it is a national security problem. He wasn't making CP to satisfy his kink. It was his job as a blackmailer and intelligence asset. Or if you prefer, kompromat vendor, rather than asset.

How many decades or centuries after someone manages to manufacture a brick that doesn't immediately crumble on the Moon do you think it will take for an automated factory to crank out satellites with the computing power of a data cente

Are you implying that's a reason to take him seriously? Or is that an excuse for lying routinely, including on topics for which it's an SEC regulations violation for someone who is a CEO? What the heck do you mean?

For example, just one way of expanding beyond the Epstein files is looking at all the overlap with pervy men running modeling agencies and beauty contests. They and their co-conspirators have very high overlap with Epstein's kompromat

Both will fail. But SpaceX hasn't yet failed at refueling a starship in orbit, and may still be riding pretty high for an IPO this year. People are quitting because XAI is going to be a relatively small part of the valuation of the rol

By your own standards who should take Elon seriously?

It did what it was intended to do, which is to make people complain about the cost of real trains, while not delivering an alternative.

Having debugged code with a logic analyzer, I'm pretty sure the voltage on those CPU pins is real, and really the consequence of the code I think I'm running.

It's a little ironic that the truck that diverged from the trend for high butch looking hood lines for no real reason is... Cybertruck. We kill pedestrians in the name of macho.

He found that on Epstien's nightstand? And don't you dare edit the post.

No. For multiple reasons, some not widely discussed, like lack of product support infrastructure, not enough geospatial data, etc. It's not just the cameras that are a showstopper.

Some of you are trying to ascribe intent to a ketamine powered Ouija board. Why did he think he was going to Mars in the first place? Why did he ignore his obligation to build a lunar lander, having been paid to do that? Did he ask any wome

The sheer elegance of hacking a law enforcement intercept architecture that's designed to make intercept traffic hard to track would be so irresistibly satisfying to any hacker that I don't see how they could say "Nahhh, too

Many years ago I wrote a functional spec for lawful intercept in a 3G data node. It was based on a spec for a different product, so it contained a lot of institutional knowledge of how lawful intercept works. A key element of the design of

It's pretty difficult to say what it's going to be three months from now. A few months ago Gemini 2.x in IDEA and related IDEs had to be dragged through coding tasks and would create dumb build time errors on its way to making bug

Epstein was selling kompromat to Russia and others. But Russia would be bad enough. You don't have to be doing the gross stuff going on at his place to be a national security problem. He was selling influence ranging from minor persona

I'm sure he would've gone exclusive at the right price, but why should he limit who he sells to?

Bezos is "better" depending on if youu think more rational, less overly fascistic oligarchs are "better." I'm going to go see if they reviewed Melania's movie.

The amount to which supposedly engineering based rationales are applied to Elon's decisions is cult like behavior. Here's what's really going on: That thing I called full self driving just to troll government regulators? Just

Being omniconnected was his job, if you think he was being managed, and his business, to the extent he was freelancing and trading on his own account. How do you become omniconnected? You offer people a good time. How do you have repeat cus

It's a confusing article. It's strongly implies that Intel will make GPUs for data centers. It says Intel will produce GPUs without saying whether they are manufacturing them in house or not.

Model S was the most successful EV. If you think cybercab is the vehicle of the future, look at the timeline of the only robo taxi in commerce in the US. Everything has to go right with that, or cybercab will be irrelevant before it works.
