Musk’s true talent is hype, fundraising, and getting buy-in from a crowd of people who Want To Believe. He does an incredible job of this, attracting capital investment on absurdly favorable terms. (Delivery on his wild promises, well, some

It’s less ironic in areas subject to hurricanes. They have a very large area. One of the most damaging possible sequences in a hurricane is when the garage door blows in, then the wind just blows the whole roof off.

Perhaps because they’re approaching the matter with flippant dismissals that it’s “made up” and invoking the Cold War with shallow accusations that it’s anti communist propaganda — rather than anything that resembles discourse on why we oug

It’s the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. There’s a reason people will always call it something shorter; personally I don’t trust myself to spell Riksbank properly (I keep wanting to put a j in there

Bigwigs have done many things, but most of them weren’t doing things like offering unregistered securities and lying about how they used customer funds for their own investments. Those are crimes in a way that other 2008-stuff generally was

What do you imagine is the alternative? Would you prefer people to drive? Because if so that’s a great way to get them killed.

I’m uncertain on what terms any European nation is going to nationalize Apple, Google, Tiktok, etc. (Is there to be conquest first?) Because it’s not clear you’re limiting your ideas to the jurisdiction where the DMA applies, I’m only margi

Yes, but generally this seems to be close to the cause of why this became a problem (that is, bad documentation may be why the bolts were not replaced to begin with). The anonymous, ostensibly internal whistleblowycomplainers said this was

Excuse me, sir, but I cannot read your message and come to any coherent conclusion that is related to the post you’re replying to. Governments, war, peace, libertarians… dishes, laundry? I am wondering, earnestly, if you could explain it pl

Training AIs is almost always done with massive data, as small data usually doesn’t have sufficient information content, statistically speaking, to build a good model from it. Certainly this is the case for the generative models.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the mechanism of “absolute judicial supremacy”. The judges are checked and balanced by executive appointment, and legislative confirmation. They also can be impeached by the legislature. Same as it ever was: pe

Let’s be unpopular today… The Board may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing, ane plaintiffs have an agenda (100%). But the court is not supposed to rule on that at all, or what is right and wrong. It’s supposed to rule on the law. If the

I believe they tried an experiment that was similar to that at the start of Schild’s Ladder — and for their troubles they were rewarded with a vacuum decay expanding through space at about 0.5c.

One does not need to use third party blueprints for train intersections at all, and it is easy to make designs where the intersections are robust. Not necessarily the highest performance, or most compact layouts, but a little reasoning goes

Disappointed to see no mention yet of Tuvalu, the tiny low-lying island nation (imperiled by global warming etc) where something like 10% of the government income is funded by sales of .tv domains, which is just such an interesting case.

Well, ordinarily no, but as it happens I am qualified to use the Orthodox rules for the calculation of the date of Easter, which you will find bypasses the 40-day window entirely and renders the restriction moot. Have a pleasant pancake d
