It’s a big shift, but from a NK/SK standpoint probably the bigger issue is what exactly NK got in exchange for the massive ammunition deliveries and the tens of thousands of troops they sent to die in Ukraine. Whatever it is, it must b

This is a superb article. I’ve noticed almost everything he mentions over the past few decades and it really bothers me. After not going to church for a long time, after I had kids, I started attending again, and it has been great for the

The U.S. was buying Russian nuclear fuel because it comes from weapons grade uranium blended down to low enriched. The U.S. made a deal with Russia to reduce their stockpile of HEU and provide them with some cash. This distorted the marke

The incoming administration notwithstanding, I'd expect it to go faster than the COVID vaccine. First, mRNA technology has now been proven for multiple vaccine types, and I think hundreds of millions of people have gotten the COVID mRN

My understanding is that there is also some stockpiled H5 vaccine from years ago. Supposedly it's not a perfect match for the current strain going around in cattle but it's pretty good.

I don't get why these companies would want to keep employing someone who has stated that they want to quit.

Has it ever been revealed what Amazon is using to back Glacier. I had heard a lot of speculation including some sort of custom optical disk. Anyone know?

Think about this: Cookie banners are only a small part of how bad UI wastes people's time. Computers could be so much more useful if more care was put into UI for widely used applications and OSes.

Tesla added back the radar and improved the cameras in HW4. My guess is that ultimately they'll converge to a similarly capable sensor/compute suite with Tesla improving theirs and Waymo paring down.

This used to be true with the original Netflix where they mailed you DVDs. They really had almost everything you could think of, you just had to wait a day or two to get it. I watched so many obscure movies, it was fantastic!

Jensen embraced AI way before that. CuDNN was released back in 2014. I remember being at ICLR in 2015, and there were three companies with booths: Google and Facebook who were recruiting, and NVIDIA was selling a 4 GPU desktop computer.

I’d like to understand the economics of size in nuclear reactors better. It seems like there are almost irresistible forces pushing towards bigger reactors. I’m looking particularly at the newish Westinghouse designs. Back in the early 2

I heard it speculated that maybe Tesla chose that location for their event specifically because it was outside of the Waymo area and they didn’t want a bunch of journalists showing up in Waymos to the Tesla robotaxi event.

It's an interesting article, and there might be some truth to it. The western US is a more newly settled place, and so it's different. Morally though, how does one justify that dealing meth on the corner is OK but putting your ba

There are no price caps. If you're rich, you have concierge medicine, and you'll see a great specialist whenever you want. The supply restrictions (and other things that reduce doctor productivity) cause a lack of supply relativ

If they had just worn out, that's fine, but they weren't at all. I only use them maybe 5-10 times per year, so the sole still had tons of life in it. The problem is that they didn't sew the sole onto the boot upper and the

I think this is about what you’d expect though. They say 2 1/4 lb soy patties build as much muscle as 1 1/4 lb hamburger patty. The soy patty I looked up had 28g of protein, and the hamburger had 40g. If that’s correct, the study

Not anymore. I had a pair of boots that one of the soles fell off of one day. They were about 20 years old but still in good shape except for the glue failure. I called up LL Bean and they said they had no record of the purchase (I didn’

FYI the solution in this case is to contact a Google employee you know. They can vouch for you and there is a procedure to recover the account.

The range downgrade was a significant disappointment. If you figure towing a trailer cuts the range by about half, the Cybertruck at 500/250 miles would be not great but reasonable for pulling a camper on a trip, but at 300/150 m

It's not just lower quality journals. Marc Tessier-Lavigne was removed as the President of Stanford for having faked data in 12 of his papers, some of which were published in Science. He's still a professor though and still publ

But this is also why you have a layered system of safety. Here, there are three layers: 1. Uncontrolled aircraft stay in uncontrolled airspace, airliners generally stay in controlled airspace (speaking generally, I know class E is controll
