OK, I'm picking nits.

Sometimes I wake up and start doing new science. But usually I just roll over and go back to sleep.
pay for access to insider(outsider?) trading info?
He's creating a "middle class" - they will get the info after the regular insiders, but before hoi polloi.
He should have thought of selling multiple levels of higher tiers.
I regret to inform you that you have woefully underestimated it. The actual retail rate offered to consumers is closer to $2200 US per gallon. Sources: internet-ink.com, cbc.ca. This $14 million fine is only worth like, seven thousand gallons, or less than 200 oil barrels of ink.
For a small fee you can get your bullshit before everyone else.
I should have added:
"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."
Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.
Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?
The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.
Not surprised that someone exploited a vulnerability, but surprised that deployed military personnel are allowed to use civilian communication systems.
I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.
The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.
This is a projection of personal issues.
Normal people find "not being able to comprehend other person's words" to be a much greater obstacle to comprehension than "psychological issues".
Because most people are sane and have a reasonable amount of control over their psychological issues.
AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.
For totalitarians, need to identify people is critical. It's why DPRK is indeed democratic and holds elections where Kim wins every single time.
Because voters are identifiable.
This is why 16 gig slow GPUs are more expensive right now than very fast 12 gig ones. More RAM means bigger model can be fit into memory. Also why 24 gig models are unobtainium.
4090s and 5090s have been long used for narrow models in things like research in much of third world. This is the natural next step. Shrinking models further so they can be operated from phones that already have good enough cameras to enable things like discriminating vision, where model helps identify specific things that camera looks at. We're looking at the next big ag breakthrough in marginal places like Sahel. We now have an actually good chance of AI machine vision doing something we just couldn't do with mere human vision and algorithmic machine vision. Identification of pests and weeds, their eggs and larvae, etc.
And in medium to long term, it looks even better. We may have an actual viable chance of eradicating Tsetse in medium term future with AI vision. One of the main reasons why Sub-Saharan Africa is still absolutely fucked in terms of human development may actually be finally removed.
X's "automatically translate into your language" feature has actually rebuilt the tower of Babel. The main barrier in interpersonal communication came crashing down.
Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.
