I’ve literally integrated LLMs into a materials optimizations routine at Apple. It’s dangerous to assume what strangers do and do not know.

All the technologies you listed behave deterministically, or at least predictably enough that we generally don’t have to worry about surprises from that abstraction layer. Technology does not just move on, practitioners need to actually find it practical beyond their next project that satisfies the shareholders.

Oh, he offered to show them identification but they wouldn’t let him.

If someone wants to give voice to these victims then power to them

Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.

People said the same of Sadam. Trust me, more imperialism can make it worse.

I don’t think people care about ideology as much as we are told. Just call it affordability.

He won because Trump failed to steal the election after a once in a century pandemic. That’s who he was running against. Then after 4 years we all got secondary amnesia from watching Biden.

It could be different but that is what the companies are stating as their operational life span when they report their financials. They used to say they would only last 4 years…

Haven’t seen this mentioned yet: the RAM they are making for these AI chips are built to burn up after 6 years. The RAM is built into the processing units to reduce latency but the whole unit is designed with short planned obsolescence so burning out after 5-6 years is expected. The assumption is that by the time they burn up they you will replace them with a more energy efficient unit.

Classic abuser move. Take away two free days and then give us back one and makes sure we know it’s from him cuz he put his name all over it.

It often feels like violence.

I want you to know, as a parent I understand. I love my 3 year old but he is nonstop trying to get a rise out of us.

In recent years we have become increasingly familiar with the thought of death. We ourselves are surprised by the composure with which we accept the news of the death of our contemporaries. We can no longer hate Death so much; we have discovered something of kindness in his features and are almost reconciled to him.

Wow that’s some arrested development.

Maybe also throw in a “what would you do” staged events to specifically filter for people with empathy.

First event is a civics test.
