It seems more likely that the logical conclusion is the executive branch is mad at Anthropic, and lashing out at them with any convenient tool that they have. I suspect if OpenAI or Grok was operating at the same level they wouldn’t find th

Okay, but if someone is going to invest money into companies they need some way of deciding what they think a company is likely to do in the future. Are these kinds of reports mostly a lot of window-dressing around a gut-feel about what m

Morningstar does think it's a possibility that Starship ends up being highly successful as a reusable platform and that orbital data centers end up being very successful, they just assign a 7% chance for that outcome.

Your sentence was the direct response to the question: > Yeah, but is SpaceX actually worth $1T The question and context of your response was about SpaceX's present value . Given the context, I think my response was absolutely a fa

Would that be software used in a product? I don't think that would qualify?

> Historically a $1T market cap with a PE of 20.0 would be achievable with a $50B/yr profit. That seems easily achievable eventually for SpaceX, as it has actual hardware and services and IP. It seems crazy to me to make a compariso

I mean, that doesn't have to be how it works. You can have a both fixed amount of time, and the ability for a candidate to work in whatever environment they want.

It's a testament to how much American companies have been fucking over their own reputations that people would view them as not "better or worse" than an extension of the CCP. A decade ago, just that kind of comparison would&

That’s Congress and they are. The executive branch does not hold the power of the purse, and the fact that you can casually use that phrase in reference to the executive branch shows how far we’ve fallen as a country in a decade. A very sad

Right, but a day off would reduce supply. And 2 days off was not a system dictated by God, which we are obligated to keep in perpetuity (in fact, most religions dictate 1 day off, not 2). So, we could, as a society, just choose to make a 32

Well, but if it’s the latter definition, then the AI didn’t train on their data, since the companies took possession of that data before doing a training run. It’s only the former definition that would allow an AI model to have been trained

I take my two little ones almost weekly to our small downtown area. The trip is usually a coffee shop, the bookstore, and a rotating third one (sometimes a candy shop sometimes the toy store, sometimes something else). Anyway, we're an

I don't think that's it at all. If a user says: "how do I do X in your product", I think a response of "Hey, there's not a great way to do X right now. We're thinking about the best way to make that work i

You can disable auto-updates for VS Code, and you can install older versions of it.

Ah, yea, I had gotten myself confused with on-die ECC and actual real ECC. Very frustrating.

I dunno, if they got ID #15, and the site shut down immediately after (for everyone), it doesn’t seem like a crazy stretch. Like, if a page gets hundreds of thousands of visitors, then your assumption is reasonable. For a page that might ge

Couldn’t you just… get a framework without RAM and buy ECC memory separately?

Eh, it’s not going to be transitively problematic for Anthropic the way the supply chain risk designation would’ve been. Amazon isn’t going to have to divest from Anthropic because of this. Yes, they probably won’t be able to get a contract

It was so obviously a Nazi salute, and anyone denying it is lying. Either to themselves or to others.

> The "Nazi salute" was just a cringy rendition of the "my heart goes out to you" thing Okay, you believe what you want, I guess. > And the AfD isn't a neo-Nazi group. Uh, huh. Sure.
