I’ll take “people who sell used hardware” for 500 Alex.

Can’t we just pretend things aren’t happening and hope they go away?

That seems to be the most popular modus operandi.

You can’t use SES. Amazon gates usage and denies it even for super boring internal company email.

Let me guess the article doesn’t actually answer the question in the headline.

High costs make people feel less rich. News at eleven.

Did they disclose the name they Redacted?

Or its snow.

Nice, I wonder if he’s planning to return.

Generative AI will always hallucinate because it is impossible to separate the fact lookup part from the generative part.

This problem has been obvious for years and the evidence shows that hallucination rates have been steady the whole time.

Wait what? Millions of people losing their jobs could threaten income tax revenues? How is that possible?

This is true most places in the us. Have you looked? You often have to dig up the stake. It helps to have an idea of where it should be before you start digging.

How likely do they think that will be?

I’m not sure there will be many children. Especially if there are sex robots. People already prefer the company of machines and they’re shaped like little index cards. Imagine when they’re shaped like humans but not as difficult.

Fair, paywalled article links are basically an advertisement for the paywalled service. Perhaps it will tickle your sensibilities to steal the article.

The general argument (which I’m reconstructing from having read it elsewhere) is that the housing market is one thing. Rich people will occupy the top but it’s a single pool. So increasing supply anywhere in the pool alleviates price pressure from the whole pool.

Studies support this theory. Adding luxury homes reduces price pressure by the same amount as adding affordable homes. But it’s an easier sell for developers because they can make more money.

There’s probably a limit to how effective the strategy can be, but the current market is nowhere near that limit.

Russia still has men? I would have thought they’d have used them up in the meat waves by now.

They should be required to take down one piece of space junk for every new satellite.

Hydrogen is petroleum with extra steps. And a cryogenic supply chain.

Is it refusing to try?

High Intelligence just seems to be speed of cognition. This isn’t a race. Smart people will never reach the answer if they never bother taking up the question. Sometimes smart people are so busy doing smart things that they don’t bother with the everyday questions like: is the work I’m doing a net benefit to the world? Is the work I’m doing actually harming humans at a large scale?

Willful ignorance is the most dangerous thing in the world.

Well blame this guy. https://www.thebeaverton.com/2026/07/meet-the-canadian-civil...

We’ll blame this guy. https://www.thebeaverton.com/2026/07/meet-the-canadian-civil...

There’s a real danger of cognitive surrender. When Ai can puzzle things out for you there’s a real danger of relaxing our focus.

“It is not for technologists to decide…”

These are autonomous murder bots. It is 100% for technologists to decide where the line is. I’m pretty sure it is being crossed. Never build weapons that create a world you don’t want your kids living in.

I love the Streisand effect in play here.

Sucks that she’s getting attacked. Hopefully the punitive damages she wins will be staggering.

TLDR China makes some good stuff sometimes.

Rapidly changing Tariffs make it hard for Americans to get that stuff reliably and at reasonable prices.

Go figure.

Why? China makes a lot of important high tech stuff. If there’s a big picture plan to build high tech capabilities on-shore that’s great.

Show. Me. The. Plan. Hint: the plan will take ten years and cost trillions in investment and will have massive ramifications for many critical industries.

If your plan doesn’t exist or lacks mention of those things above, let’s talk after you revise and resubmit.

That’s a weird way to put it. China internalized their supply chain and profited by it. The short term cost was high, the net was positive.

We better figure that out before they attack Taiwan.

AI cannot be honest or dishonest. It has no concept of what’s true or right. It’s a generative engine. We should all know that by now.

If it does something you don’t like it’s your fault for allowing it, failing to instruct the agent properly, and/or failing to watch it.

Correction, worst day so far.

You misspelled “leak”

The number of possible programs is infinite. The number of possible bugs is uncountably infinite.
