The actually didn't. The Russians (GRU) hacked Kushner and an agent within the GRU handed over the data.

If they are open sourced, it means any random data center could host it domestically and AI becomes a utility.

Using Brode's equation a rupture can release 52MJ of energy or 12kg of TNT. An high explosive tank shell only has 11MJ of explosive energy.

When I grew up anything with 5 seats was a family car. Kids have short legs. They will do just fine.

This and the current Twingo are made to be affordable. No reason why a cheap car can't look good. Making it ugly won't make it cheaper. These cares were modelled after economic cars that never had expensive design elements anyway.

Places that used to hit 32C max are now hitting 37C consistently. How is that not catastrophic? It is literally unbearable to be outside.

It was never about NATO and always about the reconquest of Ukraine. You can read their victory speech here [0]. Russia thought they would win easily and accidentally posted their victory speech too soon.

Lol, 100% of the people I know have not returned and are not planning.

I remember that during the Wagner rebellion there was a 24h-48h time frame of no Russian bot activities. Was kinda surreal.

Decision making is risk management, and is often simpler than making predictions. You need to think in terms of utility functions and you need to stay far away from the catastrophic regions. You often don't need super accurate predictions for that.

One example is pandemics. The thing is pandemics are extremely fat tailed in terms of fatalities. You need a lot of data to fit any outbreak model and no one has time for that. But the reaction to diseases out breaks is very simple. Is it super deadly and contagious? If yes, shut everything down! This is essentially what Asian countries like Vietnam and Taiwan did during Covid and they handled it way better than the West. I remember arguing about outbreak models, which is a completely useless activity.

There is the Fiat Topolino if you are ok with a pure city car.

New comment by enaaem in "Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes"

enaaem — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 07:25:13 +0000

Some of my observations:

I think suit trousers are more comfortable than jeans. It’s like wearing pyjamas.

Buttoned up shirts are superior to t-shirts. You can open up extra buttons for ventilation. You can roll your sleeves up and down. There is often an extra front pocket. The collar last longer and it can even be repaired.

I think Trump is smart, but like conman smart. In fact I think he is brilliant in that regard. He is not a food statesman. He wouldn’t even be a good autocrat, because of his untrustworthiness. So yeah Trump is not profoundly stupid, like down syndrome stupid.

There is a nice youtube channel called The Aesthetic City. There are some really nice new projects done with traditional architecture in Europe.
