Haha, I must admit that having 2x ships one on each side of the world and swapping them to keep it flying all the time is definitely good stuff. Very entertaining. And I did forget the engines. It is true, surface vessels do seem to domin

Woah, guys, the article is actually super cool. I almost didn't read the article because of the AI thing - I follow him on the microblog networks and I know he's pretty good at using LLMs and so on so that's not interesting.

Something like a proximity mine from a video game. I always did wonder why they didn't just sprinkle a bunch of these in an intermediary zone. Surely it provides incredibly effective area denial. Perhaps it does and you can't get

You're kidding. This cannot be real. I can't wait to try it, if it is somehow real.

The biggest advantage with public transit is that your mind is not engaged driving. But at some point, the speed advantage is overwhelming. And eventually the price advantage dominates. Taking my family and grandparents to the airport is $4

But ships have night. The PVs would need backup batteries for the entire night-time period to say nothing of the 4x capacity loss. A satellite can just see the sun the whole time and it's getting nice clean sunshine. I think the powers

There was one barge DC from Nautilus[0]. The problem was to get the amount of power they needed shore power, and fiber from there. Undersea is absolutely crazy to me. But surface vessels are interesting. I wonder what you do: tie a massive

If my comment was interpreted as some advocacy for the removal of high-beams, please allow me to correct the record: I think they're a good feature to have.

That particular concern is currently covered as far as SpaceX is concerned since it launches under DoD coverage. See the California Coastal Commission and the fact that they had to apologize etc. for attempted overreach.

This feature must be old. My Subaru Forester 2018 has it. What non-US cars have are those new zone dimmable lamps. Regardless I keep my auto dim off and just down. I don’t usually need the headlamps in high beam mode. What would be useful i

What’s the regulatory path to something like this? Oceans seem to have all the problems of land except manifold: permitting is nigh impossible, and power is hard to line up. To make it worse, underwater tech is notoriously hard to make oper

The news article is the news article but the reality is Canada operated under the threat of tariffs and now they have unconditional tariffs. Threatening someone with something lets you extract concessions. Using the threat removes the abili

Only a single order of magnitude of cost? So a $4b data center on Earth delivers the same value as a $40b data center in Space? So if you have greater than a 95% operating margin and capacity constraints (either due to nation environmental

The soft power that people talk about yielded instantly when used. Trump’s foreign policy has been fairly scatter shot and foolish but it has only revealed that soft power is only soft. When you attempt to exercise it you find nothing there

Imagine that this website has a million visitors but just 100 rabid fans of one position. Imagine you read a comment. The website UX does not allow you to differentiate whether this is a person who is obsessive about one position or not. I

I’d upgrade ChatGPT for the family but I have them in an enterprise plan so I can distribute custom GPTs easily and that’s incompatible. Ah well.

Surely it would be Tàiyī (Supreme One) or Tiānjī (Celestial Mechanism) in keeping with Tiāngōng (Celestial Palace) for their space station. Though naming a small model Tàiyī would sound stupid haha! Xiǎoyī!

The whole thing is like a video game: your construction and power are your limiting factors. We need to CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS and so on. It's interesting that this is such a limiter on the ground that SpaceX is pursuing AI satell

The Dario Legendarium is definitely going to be a fun piece of work for historians to interrogate as to the origin of this age. The relative personalities of the orgs involved show somewhat in their naming: {o1,4o,3.5,5.5} vs. {Haiku,Sonnet

Is this of any significance? I would imagine most people are like me: we shop based on quality and price and where we want something on that curve. Whether someone raises the price on me “because of inflation” or “because we want to make mo

There’s quite a bit of this but the big orgs have created a machine where they can capture (1+x) times the value of what they pay someone. If you’ve made such a machine, the best way to make more money is to put as much input into the machi

Certainly. If there’s something I can do for you that will assist I’m happy to do so. Email on profile and I don’t mind chatting in person in SF should you so desire.

With pre-implantation genetic testing, a sufficiently large number of embryos, and a sufficiently small number of children desired, it's just a ranking question. A pair of parents with 6 embryos, and 2-3 children desired will likely ju

Huh, this is fascinating. My wife and I did IVF with WGS in order to find a much less catastrophic shared genetic condition[0]. We have the FASTQs for my parents, and brother, and my wife and me, and our daughter (and our other embryos) and

Ah, too risky to try for small operators. Good to know. Thanks for the fair warning.

Well, those half are likely under the impression they can rewind things, but realistically that is not on the table.

If SpaceX is very successful he will spend everything on a mission to mars. He's pretty up front about this. If it costs a lot and the company runs at a loss then it costs a lot and the company runs at a loss. Read the S-1 > We bel

What exactly is the problem with Ticketmaster? Scott Wiener's California junk fees law blocked them from late-revealing charges so what you see is pretty much what you get. They have a pretty good system for transferring tickets or rel

Haha that’s what I was joking about. I already have a Gemini bridge at gemini://g.wiki.roshangeorge.dev and I’ve had maybe two days in its history with any visitors. Funny.
