Young kids only understand immediate consequences. Like, seconds to minutes after. Doing something like taking a picture, and then it causing problems hours, or more likely days or weeks later has no impact on their decision making.

^^ Probably the most on-the-nose comment here. There are lots of exceptional people working at high level from unusual backgrounds. Unfortunately he got burn-noticed because he crossed the wrong person/s and was tipped off to local authorities, probably.

Pope jumping in on the AI policy debate about a decade before it's going to become relevant. I'm pretty skeptical whatever is written in there will be super applicable in 10 or even 30 years, but it's now part of the historical record for all time.

Apparently your blue sensing photoreceptors in your eye are super sensitive to blood sugar, and you could do a blood sugar test with a color calibrated phone app having people compare two shades of blue side by side. If you can't tell them apart, your blood sugar meets/exceeds/is below a certain threshold. It's not hyper accurate but useful for diabetics.

All of Engie's plants use standard designsm there's no shortage of staff who know how they work and how to maintain them. Standardization is a major pillar of why France's nuclear costs are so low and so safe.

In our neighborhood all the kids (who look like they weigh about 75 lbs, so about 2x the hp/weight ratio of an adult) have these borderline dirt bike looking things and they're constantly doing the "ride doing a wheelie for 500' in a mostly straight line" except when they wipe out and slide into oncoming traffic. A couple of kids this year have already gone to the hospital in my area for that sort of thing. I dunno how fast they can go but seems like at least 30mph with tweaks which is street legal scooter territory. Ebikes are nice because there's no license or registration so the cost is low, but they're commuting 3-5 miles each way 5 days a week on public roads, so they're definitely part of normal traffic, and they're absolutely getting in a ton of very messy accidents.

The disorientation goes away for most people after ~1-2 weeks, but yeah, you have to be really committed to the product. I am very resistant to motion sickness but I recall a couple times in the first month where I was in some ultralight airplane sim (like pilotwings type thing) and looking down while banking sharply and almost threw up.
 
Mass consumer VR is a fucking dumb idea though, I'm stunned apple was still shipping hardware updates, they must have contracted for a million of the displays or something and were hoping they could limp across the finish line without sending too many off to the landfill.

They can sell the neo at a loss because parents will buy a kid a laptop even before they buy them a phone. If you've had an apple laptop for three years, what phone are you going to want? And yeah also it's a very transparent education market play, which again, feeds lifelong customers into their ecosystem.

Ok you hit your coffee limit early in the day. Sodium battery technology is here, finally, and solar and wind have been mature for a long time. There's no reason most countries can't go fully electric.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

I think the idea is to keep shitting out 4.X releases until openai releases GPT-6, at which point anthropic will release whatever version of "mythos" they have mostly working that day as Opus 5.0 on the same day, or the next. They'll probably claim it's so operful they're skipping 5 and just calling it Opus 6 for marketing reasons
