Two frequently mentioned destinations are Florida and Texas. Both are terrible on women's rights and having misogynist political leaders. Threads like this are such a tech bro sausage fest I'm un surprised that women are not menti

A large part of the data center bubble is crypto mining operations that pivoted to AI. That was a very squishy part of the business already. They have no credible pivots left. Some of that will get absorbed by market leaders including OpenA

Yes. Billionaires with an authoritarian agenda will cost their businesses and their shareholders billions of dollars in pursuit of ideological goals. Throw a few fascist salutes and people stop buying your cars. Was that salute rational? Is

You will have trouble finding genuine comparisons. As a recall, there were some press trips to Austin that compared Tesla Robo taxi to Waymo. But as with any press publicity, it can be a carefully curated experience. Even the much-publicize

We are in an era where our financial shenanigans go unregulated never mind prosecuted. Everyone can see that the TSLA emperor has no fig leaf for a near-infinite PE ratio. Absurdity is everywhere. The Tesla P/E ratio seems like a quibb

I'm not disputing that among robot makers Waymo has got it right more than anyone else. Remarkably so in fact. Waymo appeared to be about two orders of magnitude safer than humans, maybe more. That's good enough to take a few perc

That is an interesting comparison. More than 600,000 people not in cars are killed on roads every year. If a few hundred thousand were killed by humanoid robots every year it might make a cultural difference. What do you think the robot mak

You can make a robot that's small, soft, and not powerful enough to hurt anyone. Or you can make a robot that's strong enough to carry a laundry basket or climb stairs holding a vacuum cleaner. But you can only operate that big st

There's a pretty obvious argument that an absurd P/E ratio means Elon did a much better job pumping the stock then he did running the company. Should the board members get sued for being a lapdog board? Should the GameStop managem

The law specifies which redactions are legal. The enforcement mechanism, IIRC, comes through obstruction.

This is all supposedly Epstein's property. Dead people have a very short list of rights or things that resemble rights that belong to their estate. Privacy and protection from slander aren't among those rights. You could argue tha

I'm sure there are 10 other things nearly as bad. No reason not to start the journey.

It's not like the CEO unloaded his failed LBO of a social network on them. Oh snap.

Don't be defeatist. The situation under consideration here is probably monitored by security cameras and body cams end to end. Everyone not following correct protocol did so on camera. Punishing willful ignorance and incompetence is ce

Nearly all police responses in the US are armed responses. Americans don't realize how dangerous that is. They recognize swatting as a crime, but don't realize that a Karen who lies to police in order to get them to bully someone

Cops killed a lot of people with negligible effect on crime. You're making an assertion that needs some support in light of the track record of US policing.

That depends on who you think needs to learn a lesson about buying an AI from Temu.

Even if we had the perfect combination of public funding and low small dollar donation limits we would still need discernment and to take responsibility for our votes. Nevertheless, getting big money donations out of politics would be a big

Without taking money out of politics, the assertion that "we" are to blame has to assume advertising and influence peddling doesn't work.

Cars and roads are built for human reaction times. That's why you have low speed limits in urban areas. You can have a pile of latencies attributable to processing a scene and still have superhuman reaction time that contributes to out

Bill Gates is still kickin'. There are credible independent estimates that his funding has saved tens of millions of lives that would've been lost to malaria, AIDS, and other diseases. Effective altruism and other New Age garbage

Had I been doing other than interesting exploratory coding, I would agree with you. I can readily imagine standups where the "scrum master" asks where our AI productivity boost numbers are. Big dystopia potential.

It's a real, complete, social media client app. Not a huge project. But the default app was clearly written by multiple devs, each with their own ideas. One goal was to be cleaner and more orthogonal, among other goals.

SwiftKotlinDartGo blur together by now. That's too many languages but what are you gonna do? I was ready to find that it was a bit much. The conjunction of ATProto and Dart was almost too much for the coding agent to handle and stay us

I don't want to be that contrarian guy, but I find it energizing to go faster. For example, being able to blast through a list of niggling defects that need to be fixed is no longer a stultifying drag. I recently used a coding agent on

This appears to be overthinking it: sure it's inevitable that when zero trust systems are shown to be practicable, they will be explored. But, like a million other ideas that nobody needed to spend time on, selling NFTs should've
