The original Twitter verification process was a great solution to this back in the day ! It's a shame its brand was destroyed to make a quick buck. Most blue checks I see nowadays are spam and trolls

This is very exciting, California might be the first to pull it off at scale in the future. However it's still 9% of the current MW capacity. We'll see how it ages and it costs in the long run. Most of the pilotable energy sources

Technological moonshots are great. Modular reactors, renewable energy grids with large scale storage, are all very exciting. But with the climate emergency and its potential tipping points being a decade away, we should immediately fix the

The AGI party might be cancelled. But the current strengths of LLMs still are summarization, analogy, templating and search. Which can solve a lot of business problems already. My hot take is that UX is the biggest limiter for current LLM p

Provocative proposition: what about search engine that bans everything with ads and affiliate links? Wikipedia won over competitors because it has an anti-business-model. Only the passionate write for it, which paradoxically ensures quality

Google search quality has been decreasing not because of a lack of AI, but because of AI itself. LLM spamming and a decade of SEO maxxing has made pagerank completely obsolete. No one has a personal site anymore, backlinks don't mean a

I wonder how they corrected it. By calibration, or carefully modeling the deformation according to the moon's mass?

The elderly are the most susceptible to falling into dark patterns, and most commercial software nowadays is full of them. Windows 11 was the last straw, I ended up moving my grandma to Gnome. And I control her desktop remotely whenever she
