About a year ago CBCs "About That" show did a 10min segment on the history of the US objections/support regarding the ICC, decent watch if you want a quick recap of the last 24 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBW6DOss67w - Also, to a degree, the ICC is somewhat moot to the US directly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr...

I'd be curious to see Terra xhigh vs Sol low, only in that the visual languages are actually kinda different, that Terra work was a lot less "llm" feeling than a lot of the other designs, wonder if pumping up the effort would result in a more in-depth design but within that style.FWIW I enjoyed reading this way more than any usual benchmark posts we see.

In case anyone is wondering why he hates wind so much, it stared in 2011:

New comment by neom in "What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers"

neom — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 14:07:37 +0000

Yeah, to clarify my comment, I think it's rude everywhere and I suspect many others generally also, but I've only experienced feeling I couldn't do it/people will absolutely stop you in SK/JP. I've been on trains all through Europe, the UK, almost all of North America and usually hear someone on the phone, but nobody ever says anything.

From my experience, (outside of the quiet car), "extremely rude" - only South Korea and Japan?

There is a woman on twitter who makes seedance videos of her and Dario from anthropic, they're kinda weird but generally pretty high quality: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2058458683781365873 (full collection: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2082740754380984373) - seeing them was the first time I'd been impressed with AI video gen.
