I also like clean safe unobstructed sidewalks and parks but along with benches, we've made a decision. We've decided that putting the mentally ill in a facility and arresting people for public drug use is not something we're comfortable with at the expense of those other things. I don't personally ageee with this decision but it is apparently the consensus.

Because of your personal politics?

Ok then short SpaceX stock when it IPOs.

What it looks like to me is that Carney the businessman is trying to work for the best terms in an eventual annexation scenario.

This ignores physical geographical reality.

Isn't it somewhat laughable when something like 3/4 of Canadian exports are to the US?

If you type something into the computer you should assume everyone in the world will eventually be able to see it.

If you send your DNA to a company in the mail you should assume everyone in the world will eventually be able to see it.

Simulation scaling will be the most insane though. Simulating "everything" at the quantum level is impossible and the vast majority of new learning won't require anything near that. But answers to the hardest questions will require as close to it as possible so it will be tried. Millions upon millions of times. It's hard to imagine.

"Scaling" is going to eventually apply to the ability to run more and higher fidelity simulations such that AI can run experiments and gather data about the world as fast and as accurately as possible. Pre-training is mostly dead. The corresponding compute spend will be orders of magnitude higher.

So by your logic, there's only room for one gatekept source of general purpose information on the web? No one besides entrenched progressive interests can do anything to Wikipedia. It's like reddit. We're tired of your guys' spaces. So sorry if this offends.

Although I'm sure it's been a blast, we don't need to play by your rules any more.

Planetary scientist academics are angry because he's getting all of the attention and it isn't even in the field he's most known for previously. Even smart humans are still humans.

Try reading the article. You might enjoy it and it will answer your question.

Biden issued several blanket pardons for any crimes that people may have committed for a period of a decade. That doesn't strike me as particularly discerning.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Surely everyone on the Coinbase platform is vetted seeing as they're a publicly traded company. Presumably the vast majority of Binance users are not in fact money launderers.

No one was imprisoned for "insurrection." The vast majority were charged only with entering restricted grounds.

How does pardoning CZ "prop up the ecosystem"?

Balaji was the former CTO of a rival company. Wouldn't he be incentivized to not support CZ?

There's a potential implication that the president wasn't the one making the decisions and they were political favors doled out by unnamed and unaccountable staff. If the president felt strongly about that perception he could've signed them himself. But he seemingly didn't.

There's an argument the prosecution was political. See: https://x.com/balajis/status/1981423831572238856

I knew this once I heard OpenAI was going to get into the porn bot business. If you have AGI you don't need porn bots.

Have you lived in an RV for very long? After a few days it kind of sucks.

We'd assume most interstellar objects are comets because that's which objects you find on the outskirts of a solar system and are the easiest to get kicked out. We'd assume they're mostly like our comets due to the Copernican principle. We shouldn't assume we're special.

The same as the ones from this system. Borisov had the same characteristics.

Vera Rubin isn't even giving us data dumps yet. It's going to be like a veritable firehose of interstellar object detections. Should be a wild time for the field.

He has a fairly large h-index for someone with an alleged "poor reputation."

"Avi Loeb's H-index, which measures a researcher's scientific output and impact, is 132. This indicates the high level of influence and recognition Loeb has garnered within the scientific community based on the number of his publications that have been cited a certain number of times."

This is interesting. If it is indeed much smaller than initially estimated then it's unusually bright/reflective. On the other hand, if it is actually very large then it suggests its track through the solar system may not be random.

We don't know if they're all rocks or not yet.

Or detecting more unusual interstellar objects like 'Oumuamua.
