The necessity of alfalfa exports from water-scarce US states is certainly not obvious. Why do you believe this is essential?

Governments are just a structure for people to coordinate collective action. In democracies, it’s not that distinct from “us all”. We exercise this responsibility through representatives but they are our agents not our rulers. Outcomes depe

Think of it like a battery. We pour sunlight into the plant at one end and then we take this gasoline from the other side of the battery and burn it. The end-result is that we have full fuel cycle powered by the Sun. This kind of battery is

Oh this was a failed device that Mozilla offered. I had a couple back in the day. It was called Matchstick. Sick t shirts. Basically an OSS chromecast.

Sure. That’s the theory of it. But when I wrote myself an app that helps me author blog posts I ended up writing more of them. Turns out that image uploading and then naming and description is slow but I kind of have the image and etc handy

The authors of that paper are all at AI companies not named Google.

I don't know anything about this so I am curious: that doesn't sound like a lot of wood work so why are the AI companies recruiting so many carpenters?

Is it just a matter of the 'turbo' button then? Surveillance pricing could be reframed to be entirely discount based. A banana shall be $10k/unit and then it is discounted either $9999 or $9998 depending on who you are? It se

This seems like a temporary situation. Utilization maximization is a matter of switching to the software factory unattended flow and intelligently routing tasks that will not require assistance to the unused time. A decade and a half ago we

Capitalism does not depend upon self-sufficiency. This sounds like total nonsense. In fact, the obviousness of comparative advantage and the benefits of trade that are common among market economies clearly illustrate that interdependence is

Sure, if one ignores constraints then we can do everything. It's like saying that you could find an element in an unsorted array in O(1) if you just pick the right index. Obviously. The part that makes it hard is that you can't pi

Certainly, and notably the 'capital class' that's 'hoarding' the housing he's talking about are what look like normal people. You'd make more money taxing half of the value of those who own SFHs in Santa C

Everybody gives more power to the larger players. You won't work for me for $10/hr but you'll work for a guy who has more money for more. There's nothing wrong with that. Money is just a fungible unit representing value

This sounds like an incredible deal, doesn't it? Transforming a capital cost to an operational cost is fantastic. The total cost to use over 2 years is also much lower on this kind of thing. I suppose the reason not to use it is that y

The proposal does not involve reducing existing taxes. It is a technique to pay for increased spending. So the latter sentence seems unlikely.

This is very cool. I think I’ll get it instead of using my home built device (a respeaker attached to a low power machine). Looks like it supports custom wake words too. Thank you! It’s funny how we converged on a similar system. My agent i

Like the others I just wrote a simple agentic loop that listens to telegram and acts with a timeout to check other things, and with a timer to run scheduled jobs on a cron. EDIT: Oh, home assistant. I use Home Assistant https://w

Haha! Love to hear it. That's exactly what I have too: a claw-like[0] system which I originally used Sonnet for and now use my DeepSeek v4 Flash with. In my case, I was foolish enough to run it all on my hardware which is pretty damned

To be honest, I am surprised by how good DeepSeek V4 Flash is. I use Claude Code and Codex on Claude 5 Opus and GPT-5.6 Sol most of the time, but when I use DS V4 Flash I don't feel like it's really that bad. And with oh-my-pi and

Until this present universe I didn’t really care about that because retaining the job wasn’t a top priority. If you got fired over something like this you took it as a good way to go do something somewhere else. Now of course it’s hard to s

Infinite scroll is not a good tool for his use-case. Users will filter and then try to Cmd-F. They will get annoyed if you can’t search. It’s just bad UX. You can use infinite scroll for things like Twitter feed. Product search is just a di

Good grief, this website is utter garbage. Keeps popping up the Support Us popup and crashed the iOS web view. But one thing that’s interesting with the administration’s approach to so many things is the removal of tools to get information.

Seems like the maximal position he could take compatible with his expressed principles. There’s no way to allow for bioweapon and cyberweapon grade models being open weight if one doesn’t want widespread human damage. So I cannot disagree w

I think the chain of reasoning is not hard to follow: 1. Assume the Rust rewrite of Bun went badly 2. Then something must be grievously wrong with a released bun runtime based on that code 3. Claude Code uses the released bun runtime based

Oh, very neat! I'd noticed the Burberry abandonment of that style and looking far downmarket the Cracker Barrel rebrand to less baroque style failed as well. I hadn't noticed it was so widespread. It's funny. I still like the
