Not one mention of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Who actually did things.

The diversion from matters of importance continues. Whatever else the White House is good at, they are masters of making us look "over there" instead of answering the hard questions put to them by a decreasing pool of journalists.

Something which I had to go hunt, but that may be about what Omarchy wants to prioritise describing itself: you don't HAVE to run an AI agent. They're a lazy install option and it includes none. So you could say "run a lightw

The underlying theory as presented is ubiquitous, quintessentially human. Why would it not exist in this field of discourse?

Whatever you do, try not to chose a name which collides with nostrodamus' predictions about .. (ok, he actually used "Hister" to refer to the Danube it seems, but popular legend has another take which is .. unfortunate)

A plot of a larger sample of post-hoc known wind and other constraints over a regular service would help enormously to sell the idea. One point at 45min faster and 25% less fuel is of course huge, but how does it map out over a year of rout

A friend (now a very fine lawyer in London) travelled PNG during an election assisting in some fashion for several weeks if not months. She came home with a crimp in her hair and ridges on all her toe and fingernails from nutritional defici

Note that this in no way means the end of oil in the ground or being extracted. "Peak" never meant The Erlich-Simons "we've run out"

Those "nonsense labor laws" are immensely popular. They aren't so nonsensical either, they've served Europe as well as the alternatives have. And, given how few jobs are in the DC build or operate phase, I don't se

You appear to be saying you select origin but not always: you stop in Germanic but press through romance to root Latin. I think I'd stop at the first source. It's more consistent. We got orange through naranja from Spain. There&#x

I wouldn't bet on either side a priori. I know what I want to happen, but the legal process here is perverse. Failing to defend, failing to adequately resource a defence of even the blindingly obvious can lead to some odd outcomes. P

Whats the data weights going into the source? Seems a bit off to not clarify the relative linguistic contributions going in, to characterise them by source language coming out. Given the amount of french poetry in the courtly love cycles, I

"Background checks" is loaded language. Should GIT repo owners have some reason to trust people before accepting pull requests? What does that look like? Is it about their politics or about their ability to code? Don't we hav

AI Leadership need to stop talking policy on X and start talking policy in real public forums. If there is the industry commonality they project, then just form an industry neutral self regulatory body and get it badged by the regulators wo

I think when you write a story set a planetary scale, it's necessary to translate what to an eponymous hero is a skinned knee falling off a bicycle, in planetary terms is 100m climate refugees dying in the relocation. And lest anyone t

It would be sensible to do this in a modular manner, so that when the price crash comes you aren't stuck with 900x unneeded GPUs and memory, and can monetise the 100x you have, reasonably successfully to manage your debt. adjust scalin

Kim Stanley Robinson appears to me to be doing this. Even Arthur Clarke was, if the ultimate outcome was sometimes a bit messianic, the pathway to the end was the "best of all possible worlds" -which in some ways is what you are e

From my own personal PoV there is still too much anthropomorphic language being used here, but Prof Hinton did at least mention the most immediate risk is bad actors using AI to do things we don't want. I find the "super intellige

Hinton was on the abc radio (Australia) this morning and used far too many unfortunate Anthropomorphisms. He did however acknowledge the unmeasurable theoretical risk of Skymesh was possibly less important than the immediate risk of bad act

For the longest time, you couldn't. It wasn't until this release I realised that had changed. If it changed before, it wasn't well communicated to me as an Android signal user. I was on beeper and then molly precisely because
