We already had an effort by the left. You can “no true scotsmen” if you want, but it represents the reality of what will happen when ideals clash a sector that makes up 18% of the GDP. What’s going to be different now than in 2010?

It’s not slander to say something true. These are open weights, not open source. They don’t provide the training data or the methodology requires to reproduce these weights. So you can’t see what facts are pruned out, what biases were appli

It’s not morally neutral, the very existence of surveillance has a chilling effect on dissenting opinions.

I asked Claude for an analysis on the maturity of various open source projects accomplishing the same thing. Its first searches were for GitHub star counts for each project. I was appalled at how dumb an approach that was and mortified at h

Keeping it behind closed doors also results in literal dead bodies on the ground. This isn’t the first time vulnerabilities have been hoarded and it never works out well for the greater good despite the original good intentions.

But the huge disconnect between what people call war crimes and what actually gets prosecuted makes the term meaningless. If you go by the definition used in online discourse, every US President this century would be prosecuted for them. Th

When it lands. Auto brakes apply to the wheels to target a specific deceleration target. You don’t want to brake too hard and cause undue wear and you don’t want to under brake and miss your taxiway or go off the runway.

Maybe recession but not depression. Oil prices have been this high before.

No, that’s a terrible thing and random skiddie hackers absolutely should. This is only a temporary state of insecurity as these vulnerability scanners come online. If this stuff is open source and not gate kept, it will be standard practice

These are all great arguments against a big federal nanny state. You’re just finally recognizing why it’s bad when the federal government doesn’t vote your way

A participant is not the market. Competitors very famously hate competition.

Property rights are regulation. You’re just vehemently agreeing with me. Markets filled with laws that make entry difficult are subject to monopolies.

This might hold water if US software engineers weren’t significantly better off than SWEs in any other country. You paint this bleak picture of someone agreeing to scraps to avoid starvation but the numbers are quite clear that working in s

Western free market doesn’t create monopolies. Where did you get that idea? The only place monopolies tend to emerge is heavily regulated areas that allow for regulatory capture (laying fiber is a great example of this).

Spacex explicitly on the streams said they shut off the engines early to avoid orbit. I don’t know why you would argue against them You’re also incorrect that a separate burn is required for orbit. You only need to do that if you want a cir

I used to agree until the xAI acquisition. Now IPO buyers will be buying debt from a shit tier dumpster fire to get access to SpaceX.

It’s not a significant challenge compared to what they’ve already done. Each of those previous tests could have easily gone to LEO running the engines just a tiny bit longer. OPs point is that they intentionally didn’t. achieving LEO means

Do you think it’s okay for people to indoctrinate their own children with religion and other political views? Far more harm comes from that than tail risk elimination mandating car seats between 8 and 12 years. Would you be willing to make

You’ve funnily proven the point of how willing people are to put immense burdens on others in the name of safety. There is a non-zero amount of deaths the car seat law would prevent. The burden will discourage larger families and will contr

You don’t put stop losses on retirement positions, period. Doing that literally any time in the last 30 years would have been a dumb idea if you weren’t retiring in the next year. You would have gotten stopped out and then what? What magic
