If it means more sex, they’d do it. Not sure why this isn’t the standard for all nominally STDs. Is it so hard to imagine that jock itch isn’t passed back and forth for example?

Yes, but that was a one-off. That is not going to happen again because we are at ~18 Angstrom process and the average aluminum and silicon atom is closer to 3 Angstrom. We just can’t keep making the features smaller. Yes the light can go smaller. Yes some structures are still big, but to...

Blue states. Let em sink! Amirite? /s FWIW we have the technology now, but it isn’t dams and dikes, it is the ban on new ICE car sales. EVs are good enough for almost everyone and the used car market will suffice for the die hards for years to come.

When senators are wading to their offices in the capitol building, maybe then they will take action?

It’s time to get “Copyright (c) <birthyear>, <name>. All rights reserved” tattooed on your backside.

Given the insane markup on the NVidia devices, I should think the cost improvement is baked in. We just need to convince Jensen to stick to a more traditional 20% margin.

How does this even happen? Is it also a prion which miraculously changes the sequence of endogenous proteins to self replicate? To paraphrase a historical meme: 1) AI designed toxin 2) ??? 3) world destruction! 2 is an important step, because we’ve seen toxins before over billions of years of...

I just don’t see the potential for great harm here. This doesn’t qualify for weapon of mass destruction. A protein is not on its own self replicating, so like a chemical bomb can only be as big as the amount of dangerous material you make. If we want to destroy an entire community, then we are...

You are correct. However, a small fraction of the stuff that he does does shine the light on some well intentioned, but ultimately questionable constructs we have created in this country. For example, I’ve been through the college admissions process with one son, and am in the process of going...

I was already crossing many of them off the list based on the state’s access to abortion. The college application process is going to get really simple soon.

Honestly, SAT tests don’t really predict academic success very well. While they do a much better job predicting parental income, I feel that simply auctioning of many of the spots would do a better job at that and more strongly meet the university’s financial needs so they can ignore the rest of...

No we can’t call it that, because that is not what blackmail means. Blackmail is when we threaten to divulge dirty secrets. This is somewhere between payola and extortion. I’m happy with extortion.

I’ve run into this problem exactly once in 7 years of Tesla ownership. If you are going to buy an EV do yourself a favor and get the one with the NACS plug. The other thing is don’t cheap out on the home charging if you have a place to charge your car. Anticipate that your wife will be watching...

It is almost as if — call us all stunned with surprise — the automakers saw that $7500 tax credit and thought it was… for them? Now who could be so silly and see a big pile of money and mistakenly conclude it was for them? Certainly not customers.

Does it deliver pizza?

It’s definitely a fake it until you make it product. The argument for this might be that without real world interaction — that is, not book l’arnin’ — we really can’t expect it to be worldly enough to have some common sense. This path is paved in blood, but it might be the only path.

In defense of socialism, I like the kind where the workers control the means of Production better. It is less easily confused with fascism and you get to vote on whether there are layoffs. Imagine that, voting for who your boss is at work. Things would be different!

I mean Taco Bell is kinda edgy and ethnic — off brand for MAGA. Cracker Barrel would be a better choice, but I get the movie reference.

This algorithm is not important. Google can totally recreate whatever they want for Google shorts. They should have just shut down TikTok if that is what they wanted to do.

Ah, we can see why the right wants this so badly. All the features are already in place! <Rubs hands together greedily>
