SpaceX since the IPO is an AI company with two side projects: social networks and space.

I say this based on their filing which says that the vast majority of predicted profits will come from their AI company, citing a $36.5T total addressable market.

I'm having a hard time understanding what this is. It's not a web browser- it doesn't support html. What does it browse then?

Inertia was an issue, now it's solved with grid-forming batteries that can provide the same inertia a rotating flywheel did.

Most projects today are solar+battery or just battery alone, so inertia is no longer a blocker, it's just part of designing the project right.

Here is a "Practical Engineering" video on the topic, mentioning that your concern is real: https://youtu.be/7G4ipM2qjfw?si=qfVymRpKFpuexQF_

And here is a more recent video about how Australia runs on a ton of solar with no issues thanks to grid-forming inverters: https://youtu.be/qavFbOpt4jA?si=dlkEEN4sZLCv2os5

The question was: "Does that apply to non-citizens?"

Saying "they can deport you" without specifying whether the hypothetical "you" is a citizen or not means you did not answer the question.

Not that you have to answer a stranger's question, but I thought I would clear the confusion in the hope it may be helpful.

There is a neural method for computing 3DGS from video or a series of photographs. Rendering 3DGS uses no neural networks as far as I know.

Is this satire? It has to be, right?

> I spent decades foolishly believing people didn’t cheat because I grew up around a bunch of Christians.

I will just say this: "Christians" is not a wholly uniform population.

Yes that looks the same whether they provide DDoS protection or host.

Well that's smarter than putting them in space.

It doesn't mutate l exactly, it makes a new list slightly different from the original one and assigns it to l.

That means if someone has a reference to the original l, they do not see the change (because l is immutable. Both of them).

The encyclopedia is not the only one. Anyone who says something is a photo would be lying if it was AI-generated instead.

Knowingly posting lies is not ok.

They don't mean that the stars migrate out (then further stars would be older), they mean that stars further away from the center start forming later (so further stars are younger).

I agree that the phrasing can be confusing.

Record high before or after adjusting for inflation?

Many programs today are part-written by AI. The only fully AI-written program I know of is Claude Code.

Yup. Once your drive failed (which happened to most people), you never bought from them again.

He finally managed to really impress his wife!

They messed up my reservation when I used them. Never again.

This assumes it's a binary: one is either a "real" autist or not.

But that's not how it works. It's a spectrum.

The title is missing a

One metric of "user friendliness" for websites (but also apps) is how much of the screen serves the user, and how much is adversarial.

For example, if the google results page is 1/4 ads and 3/4 genuine results, the score is 3/4.

This pages was fully covered in 3 layers of popups. So there were 3 screens of ads for 1 screen of content (well 3/4 of a screen, there was an ad at the top). So I had to figure out how to extend my computation to handle this case.

I think the score here is 0.75/4.25, or an 18% score.

That’s a new record!

The description says it's private, but the legalese it makes you agree to makes no promise. Rather, the opposite:

In case anyone else doubted this, I will save you the time to look it up. Yup, it's sadly true.

That's on brand. I remember their phone app asking for contacts permission and just taking them all and uploading them to their server.

> The only reason a politician would come up with a complex carbon scheme like that is if they knew a tax would be unpopular with the public.

And the way the events unfolded show that indeed, a tax would be unpopular with the public.

This attacks the strawman of people living off of UBI alone and choosing not to work. But even with UBI, working affords you a lot more money and thus goods.

As the article eventually concedes, UBI is more of a safety net than a rejection of work. Work and UBI are not mutually exclusive.

Yes that's a problem too. We'd be better off with solar panels on that land.

Terrible title but good article.

> Environmental protection is a luxury good. This has been proven time and time again.

I see this lie repeated in many places. Environmental protection is much, much cheaper than the alternative.

> explain why "Gaussian" and why "splat".

Happily. Gaussian splats are a technique for 3D images, related to point clouds. They do the same job (take a 3D capture of reality and generate pictures later from any point of view "close enough" to the original).

The key idea is that instead of a bunch of points, it stores a bunch of semi-transparent blobs - or "splats". The transparency increases quickly with distance, following a normal distribution- also known as the "Gaussian distribution."

Hence, "Gaussian splats".
