First, there's no way to track that. Second, that doesn't hold true for other assets like mortgages so why would it apply here? Third, the lender reaaaally should not be telling anyone what career they should do. Fourth, If the le

It's certainly not true yet, but LLM abilities now vs two years ago leads really makes you think. It may not be easy to replicate all you do, but new entrants could easily just go after the highest margin parts of your business. Why tr

Also their ads (very anti-openai instead of promoting their own product) and how they handled the openclaw naming didn't send strong "good guys" messaging. They're still my favorite by far but there are some signs alread

Same reason you can sign up for war, or ride a bike without a helmet (in some places). The world is a dangerous place and the less legislation we have blocking people from making decisions, the more likely they are to be capable of making t

Same as any other software team? You keep an eye on all PRs, dive deep on areas you know to be sensitive, and in general mostly trust till there's a bug or it's proven itself to need more thorough review. I've only ever joine

Yeah after my switch to Opus 4.6 I noticed a lot of this. I've been wary that eventually models are going to optimize for token usage increases, since that's how the company makes money. I told it to read the files in my directory

I really don't think the pain point is at home managing inventory, it's when you're at the store and want to now what you have. Receipts aren't going to help you when perusing the isles unless you have a very strange sho

It's two on the cybertruck, though you can customize to make it one. I'll admit it's not as easy as my old manual latch glovebox but it is safer for me while driving as I had to lean over to where I couldn't see the road

From what I gather, space beats ground because of permitting processes, land costs, electricity costs, etc. Containers would be cool, but energy and connectivity would be the problem there. Deploying in space gives you: - Full blown solar (

That's true both ways though: if a theoretical physicist wants to display a model for a new theorem, it'd be probably easier for them to learn some python or js than for a software engineer to understand the theorems.

There are several companies working on this, and the first generation tech is already proven, working in space on the ISS. Even Paul G is on board. https://x.com/paulg/status/2009686627506065779?s=20

I mean definitely, and they're not shy about admitting it. They see cool stuff in imagination-land, think it's cool, and work to make it a reality. Many people have worked to make the fantastical things shown in Star Trek.

Everyone defines their own moral code and trusts that more than the laws of the land. Don't tell me you've never gone over the speed limit, or broken one of the hundreds of crazy laws people break in everyday life out of ignorance

Airbus has been the most successful example I know of. Basically, clone off and slightly modify something another country has created, then force a large population to use it. It's like tariffs on steroids.

I have yet to enjoy a train station or bus station more. They are smelly, polluted, greasy, full of pickpockets and worse, usually no places to nap safely without a lookout, and horrendous toilet situations. Maybe there are a few crown jewe
