The black market is very inconsistent with what it provides, (because it is unregulated,) thus "heroin" may have fentanyl in it; or may not even be available. (Because it's easier to smuggle fentanyl.)

Shortly before the Solo Stove came onto the market, I met some of the inventors at Maker Fair in Menlo Park, CA. They were part of a group that was trying to engineer a low-smoke stove for indigenous women who spent most of their time cooking.

Instead, the women didn't use it but the men used it in the evening to stay warm.

It's generally American food that has a lot of mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, ect. Surprisingly, when I travel I don't need to be as careful. Most other cultures avoid strong flavors / textures like that.

Thus, no surprise that it shows up elsewhere.

Then the me-too moment happened and everyone remembered the 1990s as a time where all kinds of nasty behavior was tolerated.

Part of the problem, I suspect, is that a lot of the people involved were too young and/or not paying attention during the me-too movement.

Can we ever figure out how to break the cycle?

(But to be quite frank, I don't think data center is in space are going to be practical.)

1: There is no night or day.

2: There are no seasons.

3: There is no weather.

Basically, the primary motivating factor of putting AI in space is abundant solar energy. Otherwise, AI in space makes little to no economic sense.

I'm not sure I agree as well. Sometimes I suspect that somewhere between 70-30% are truly conscious, and the rest are just lucky apes.

One of the things that really frustrated me about my Tesla Model 3 was how low it was. I would "look up" at Ford Fusions and other sedans on the road.

In contrast, my Model Y isn't an SUV. It's the height (and ground clearance) of what we used to call sedans, and really feels like a sedan instead of an SUV.

BTW: The price premium for electric is offset by the lower cost of electricity, and the fact that electricity's cost is much less volatile than gas.

Our last phone conversation started with her telling me that she had a month left to live, and then she mentioned that she offered to watch my nephew for a family event in a month because she wouldn't be able to go. A few days after the call I arrived to telecommute from her house, only to not leave because her digestive system stopped working. It still took her a day to admit to herself that she was truly dying.

I can't even put things like mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, ect, in my mouth without gagging.

Needless to say, for me, any sandwich with those in it is the most vile thing I can put in my mouth.

I was just going to show them the launch, but they all demanded to stay up late, told me to stop fast forwarding, and then had to sit and watch it again with each set of grandparents.

Another thing you can do is make sure critical parts of the Artemis streams (takeoff, approach to the moon, and landing) are on when you have children around. I texted the links to everyone I know.

Freon (from then) is generally illegal to use today, as it depletes ozone. As a trademark, the name is often applied to newer refrigerants.

Grep reads through the entire file looking for patterns.

An LLM scans its neural net (in ways that I don't understand) which is kinda-sorta like having a huge index.

You can improve over Grep if you have an index; and the LLM has an index.

Thus, it's plausible that an LLM can be more efficient at reading its neural net (IE, index) than Grep reading the whole file.
