But this is not a “takings” case, it’s due process. The fifth amendment says no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Since it was just an administrative decision, he’s saying it’s not due proc

That was my thought exactly when I heard of this. I trust that like other major accidents, that we will learn from this and make the skies safer. Sixteen years without a major airline crash was an incredible accomplishment. It's a t

The average age of a vehicle on the road in the U.S. is 12.6 years. The total number of vehicles registered in the past 20 years is only up about 20%, so the average age of a vehicle being scrapped is more like 23 years. That also doesn&#

DeepSeek may not have agreed to OpenAI's TOS either. They probably used a bunch of third party intermediates to gather o1 outputs from OpenAI. Similarly, when you "buy" many ebooks, you're agreeing to a TOS, but then, i

Lots of websites have a TOS. Do you think OpenAI's scraper reads all of them and follows all of the terms?

My experience in Manhattan is that when it gets really congested, it turns into a giant game of chicken with everyone jockeying for position. This has got to lead to a lot of accidents (although probably mostly fairly minor)

Maybe they could build nuclear but they could just as easily build solar with battery backup or natural gas. Lots of industrial facilities have natural gas cogeneration with the grid as a backup. If you can't get a grid connection at

A radiologist is training for a 35-40 year career though. I definitely would not have wanted to have started that training in 2016.

Lol, how is it not possible?

One possibility would be just to build their own power plants colocated with the datacenters and not interconnect at all.

Yeah and it’s simple to reidentify anonymous location traces. The simplest way is to buy cell phone location data from apps, which is generally intermittent, but even with just 5-6 location/time pairs, you’re going to be able to posit

Yes. I have been trying to figure out for years why the PBM system is so convoluted and seemingly so much more central to healthcare than it was, and this seems like it must be the reason.

Maybe from a legal standpoint, but from a practical standpoint, any website who cares to identify you can do so with good probability if they're willing to buy the appropriate databases. Perhaps in some imaginary idealized version of

All of these privacy arguments seem a little silly to me given that you have no privacy anyhow. The site is getting an IP address and a browser fingerprint, and that’s enough to uniquely identify a person in most cases.

Moravec's paradox is really interesting in terms of what it says about ourselves: We are super impressive in ways in which we aren't consciously aware. My belief about this is that our self-aware mind is only a very small part o

I have been trying to get in better shape and lose some weight over the past six months, and what helped me a lot was getting a Fitbit and having a minimum number of “zone minutes” per weekday. I started off at just 22, but I increased it

I’d say that Tesla did a lot more than just make BEVs sexy, they made them practical. You don’t see Toyota out there making a nationwide network of Hydrogen fueling stations like Tesla did with Superchargers. Someone had to get the ball r

Buying more firefighting equipment is like building a dam higher and higher every year as the reservoir fills up, instead of letting it drain out gradually. The natural cycle in California is for there to be periodic fires, but due to the

How would people consume information “on their own terms” on Facebook? The feed is not under the user’s control.

It’s very obvious to me that he’s taking TRT or other steroids. Personally I don’t have a problem with that, but it’s not going to make me trust his judgement more on vaccines or any other health issue.

There’s an extremely wide range of viral expulsion rates, both from person to person, and from day to day for a single person. You really have to think about things logarithmically. There’s some viral concentration that is enough to infec

You could just have the three point line intersect with the edge of the court and there would be no three pointers at the baseline.

My understanding is that in the U.S. it's allowed to have headlights that dynamically turn on and off the high beams depending on whether it sees a car coming. The more advanced Euro version has a spatial light modulator in the headli

GM is is making 12 billion a year of profit though. It seems like madness to cut Cruise unless there is no hope of it ever working or making a profit… The only U.S. competitor besides Waymo that’s seemingly remotely in the ballpark is Zoox

The thing is, it’s not AI, it’s just price fixing. We are going to see a lot of stuff in the near future where people are doing something illegal and they’re going to say “the AI made me do it!”

The solution to this is to find a Google employee that can vouch for you. There is an internal process to recover an account in this situation.

Perhaps that could have been true for the shipments of shells, but I can't see NK sending tens of thousands of troops to a meatgrinder that they have absolutely no stake in just for some fertilizer and oil. NK has the ability to deman

Absolutely. However, I have found that a good church is very helpful. Having a set time every week for an hour for everyone to reflect on living in a good and moral way is very useful. I had been an agnostic for many years, and studied a
