Cant you in this case point out that obviously it is an old twxt and there is no copyright?

I dont think it will generate much discussion. Maybe if it were Google, certainly if it were Apple, but with Microsoft people will just shrug and go „eh, what did you expect“.

Context?

Optimal corporate taxes are zero (or close to it) anyway, same as tariffs.

Aside from that the link explains that the BBB traded tax income for „accelerated depreciation of assets“ aka economic growth.

Asode from that, even if one disagrees with the first statement or the Trumpism economics, there are 195 countries in the world and quite a few will be willing to tax foreign (enemy) tech companies. See the new hostility of EU against american tech.

No solar panels required. No need to own your home. You just need a smart meter and to opt in through your retailer to have access to free daytime electricity. The scheme is called the Solar Sharer Offer.

What is then the incentive to install (or repair/maintenance) solar panels?

suggesting an origin from the live attenuated oral polio vaccine

Without immunizations that would’nt have happened though?

This dystopian thought is wrong learning from dystopian fiction.

I know it felt clever writing it, surely many found it clever cynicism, but in no way does it reflect real life kidney donations.

"goodness of their hearts" (which may be related to avoidance of public pushback)

I hate this cynicism in everything. People didnt work there 10 years ago to be millionaires in a far away IPO, they worked there because they are Team Space.

Interesting:

The AI workflow was as interesting to me as the retrocomputing work itself

A coding AI can only hold so much in its context window … The solution was to make the project’s documentation the durable memory that the AI itself lacks. SwiftII was built as 18 numbered phases, 0 through 17, each a self-contained goal with a written record of what it was for and what shipped. The key milestones: […]

Around the phases sit roughly 20 numbered design documents, each capturing one non-obvious decision. What was chosen, what the alternatives were and how it was done. … As the codebase and documents became bigger, each session had to load more context just to get oriented, so token budget became a real workflow constraint.

what was the game pass catastrophe?

Defense attorneys, in particular, used biological evidence like brain scans to argue that their clients should receive lighter sentences.

Counterintuitively people want negative traits be rooted in biology. That the soul is a victim of the faulty flesh, instead of lacking willpower or being responsible for ones actions.

SpaceX will swing wildly in future, also exploding/successful Starship flights and enthusiasm for moon landing/Artemis missions.

Context?

SpaceX is too with the Anthropic/Google deal

It takes over 30 years

Only because it is overengineered. Parents pragmatic protocol would have been adopted faster

CIE 2015

Does that look like 3d?

Doesnt Dr Grant scare a kid in the beginning with the Velociraptor and say there that T Rex vision was movement based? I wonder if Chrichton made that up or if it was a real theory by paleaologists?

Why did Apple start the problem?

To be fair, food is the smallest bucket of my monthly expenses. And there are many people here on hacker news who pay more for their AI tokens than for their food.

How does argrar industry and tech industry compare as share of gdp in the US?

Paul Graham is the skating coach himself, as from 6000 startups financed by y combinator quite a few were unicorns. it is olympian level, but it there is a system to it.

What happens?

Closed Source AI at least can be controlled. See the directive of the US government regarding Fable (even if one disagrees about the directive there is no doubt that it is effective in shutting it off) or the safe guards by a corporate structure (even a profit driven one). It is schizophrenic to praise Anthropic for refusing the Department of War full access to their models but at the same time root for Open Source models.

Edit: relevant Scott Alexander article from today

In terms of bioweapons, I expect that closed-source AIs will be heavily optimized against helping with these, and open-source AI will be banned after the first warning shot (or become economically prohibitive even before then).

If you take AI risk seriously then Open Source AI should not and must not win. Both by evil actors (biological weapons research) and the danger of unaligned AGI itself. There are some people who would never work for the military or Anduril (automatic weapon systems), but an OS AI „without asking permission“ would be the same.

Most reptiles could be alive for thousands of years

How so? Snakes only live like 30 years. Tortoises are long lived, but it is low hundreds years, not thousands.

It is noteworthy that this is a German source and German culture is by default pessimism and malaise.

Sidenote: 3 is actually high.

Do you mean low? AAPL has a ps of 10.

What? Can you explain?

Yes, the Onion satirized it long ago:

Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation

Local man Paul Campbell confirmed Saturday he was raising his daughter Emma on a variety of media carefully selected to help her cultivate an appreciation for artistic quality, a move that will reportedly put the 12-year-old girl hopelessly out of touch with her generation.

Raskin also died a month later at 26. Februar 2005 (cancer).

This trope has to die. SpaceX Starship design is optimized for Mars (instead of Blue Origin NG) and the gigantic Starship Factory and multiple launch pads under construction in Texas, Florida and Louisiana (plus potentially foreign countries) only make sense with Mars.
