Either they are a) buffoons who have surface level comprehesion of LoTR, b) impulsively decided on a famous fantasy name for their tech (surprisingly common), or c) playing up the "morally ambiguous" trope. Palantir serves evil as

True, I'd agree that my wellbeing today (as a member of a rich western country) is far more preferable to someone who lacks modern innovations. However, these innovations continue and will continue to help the rich far more than the po

It'd be worthwhile to point out that many of these "best and brightest" come from predominantly Western/wealthy countries and are raised in enviroments conducive to learning and technology. They often, but not always, go

Innovation has pretty much always heightened the wealth disparity between the wealthy and the poor. A classical example would be the Industrial Revolution and America's guilded age, and another could be the circular investments between

This website---naturally, I think---weirds me out. Many of these cameras are in private spaces, with some places you most certainly don't want people to have live feeds of. It's quite disturbing how you can see personal snapshots

I'm of the opinion that their post is still human-written. They describe in their first blog post that it's human written (which could be a lie, but oh well) and their other blog posts seem to have the same informal lowercase hyph

I don't think I've seen satire in the form of a programming language before :). Neat. Does anyone else have any other examples? All I can think of are languages like Velado (uses notes) and Piet.

This is a really nice concept. I think that sometimes just seeing the data isn't enough; you need _conversational_ feedback and the other features all seem quite interesting. However, I just have one question about the premium tier. Th

How does cooling get implemented? I can only really think of a Pi500 as a similar concept, except that the Pi is (likely) much less power intense. If they're using a Ryzen 300, wouldn't heat dissapation become an issue? The keyboa
