The charm of a "global network" is that it can be working for some people, and not for others, at the same time!

Kelvin? In Discovery? I was misremembering the season, it was S03E13, Die Harding back Discovery from the Orions. Pretty sure this is supposed to be the same ship that goes nose to nose with Pike's Enterprise and is roughly the same size.

And what's this on their home page right now. Among their five featured articles, all about AI, one of them is a hit piece on AI's loudest critic. If you think this is a sudden foray into AI journalism, you're a fucking mark.

Ohhh, I get it. The problem with circular transactions is that accounting rules require you to consolidate financials with all related companies, so related party transactions net-out to zero. But if you form an SPV and distribute control, their purchase of $X billion in GPUs is revenue.

This is a crazy-short lifespan on Starlink satellites, for how expensive it is to get them in orbit. There is no way this makes economic sense. There are rural areas that need better internet access, but it has to be cheaper in the long-term to lay down cable (plus way higher bandwidth).

The rationalizations are so familiar to me, as someone who used to follow esports and fight with people on Reddit about it. The “what about” comparisons are never with things that are similarly state-sponsored. This is barely one-step removed from being a paid spokesperson for the Saudi regime.

A couple days ago Wired had a piece on Silicon Valley politics, I was finding it pretty interesting, right until I got to this part. At which I got pissed off and closed the window. Biden insufficiently coddled the poor baby richest man alive, he had no choice but to become a Nazi.

![Sun next says that "the publication of false information regarding [his] TRX holdings poses a serious threat to his reputation, business relationships, and ongoing commercial endeavors." D.I. 19 at 17. But Sun did not sue Bloomberg for defamation or any other claim premised on the publication of false information. Accordingly, I find that Sun has not made a clear showing that he will suffer irreparable harm absent emergency relief.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvenm66grz5jncl2srfjocg5/bafkreidsz3vkgp7uhzp2oitl6i52w64r7ep264cmtcf3cxpmtk6pg3q46e@jpeg)

I'm not just being pedantic, misidentifying the issue misallocates blame and confuses the solution. It focuses on Brady's ethics (totally irrelevant) when the issue is whether the Raiders have an unfair competitive advantage. That seems *extremely* far-fetched.

The Outlook Web App (OWA) has joined on in the "huge Copilot button" club. Good news (?) this one's dropdown menu includes a "settings" link, with an option for turning Copilot off (*obviously*, the default is "on"). So that makes the button go away, right? RIGHT, ANAKIN?

Nothing says "thin, light, more mobile than ever before" like a shoulder strap.
I am sympathetic to women whose clothing lacks pockets, but that's why I find it fascinating their model shot is of a guy in a track suit with visible pockets. Do they think people will wear this when exercising?

What else are you lying about John? Were you even really waiting for your laundry when you posted to your substack last week?

News media keeps making this assumption with AI that this is "just the beginning". They treat it as so self-evident that they don't even bother to evaluate whether it's true--they just baldly insist that it is. This is not good journalism.

I've uninstalled it and now use Notepad++. I was initially reluctant because ++ is itself pretty bloated, I just want a clean and basic scratch pad for notes that loads fast--but the ++ interface is *extremely* customizable (my clean look below), and it runs fast despite the heavy featureset.

I mean this could be a powder keg that crashes the world economy, but it's a chart crime to call the movement in that graph a "plummet". It's a two-hour time scale and a shrunk y-axis, there was a more dramatic dip in after market trading *yesterday*.

The tech bro fantasy of UBI isn't from the government, it's imagined as benevolence by whichever company reaches AGI first. Which of course is even more unlikely, but it's important to appreciate just how bullshit the fantasy this is. archive.is/ipeDd

This really made me grind my teeth: "humanity's demand for intelligence is way, way, way higher than the amount of supply". (A) "Intelligence" is not quantifiable commodity, wtf does this even mean, (B) none of the chokepoints of society/business are around *thinking*, they're around *doing*.

Subjected myself to reading it, just to see if there was any acknowledgement of the catastrophic security issues with agents. Nope! Not a peep.
But an interesting (implicit) admission that they train on YouTube.

@davidgerard.co.uk Might be an interesting coda here to the AI video gen series (scroll to the end). I don't know if there's more detailed reporting somewhere else, it was a "closed-door" event.
