CNN is the best. It gets its news straight from Nigeria, right out of the prince's mouth.

Even CNN is better

There are legitimate uses for futures markets to hedge bets. Lets say you want to guarantee your price of oil next week, you buy that oil with a contract with a set price now because you are expecting it to go down. You are predicting that by executing a contract now that the future price of oil will drop and make you money but will lose money if it actually went up. These prediction markets are doing the exact same thing. Lets say your business is a hot dog stand outside of a stadium and if the team wins you get tons of business but if they lose, you get little business. You can choose to bet on a loss to hedge the risk that they lose, meaning: if the team wins, you lose your bet but make money selling, but if they lose you make money on the bet and miss out. Either outcome you are able to normalize your profit, exactly like the oil bet. Or instead of hedging you can also multiply your profits. These markets allow this to happen, it is a legal form of gambling already as many have said similar to a stock market, the only difference is that it operates on sports team performance (companies) rather than company performance.

Small companies can't comply so large companies love it when there is more regulations. OpenAI explicitly calling for robot labor taxes would prevent a lot of competition.

Hey, I won!!!!

.. that there's a foreigner, a woman, and a black pilot in that spaceship?

The "Nerds" part.

Yeah, but your T-16 wasn't running a full multitasking OS, network stack, X-windows, a word processor, and a web browser.
Even if you got the targeting computer upgrade it had only shitty low-res vector graphics.

That 8MB machine was comparable in function to modern PCs with 1000X the memory.

Those observations are somewhat out of date. Modern (ie 2026) frontier models have a lot more "knowledge" than their weights.

e.g. When I asked Claude about its own memory, it used a "product self-knowledge skill" which includes looking at its own SKILL.md file.
I believe Qwen 3.5 has similar capability, but of course you need to have it configured.

Ask Claude? He says:

Hey Editor, did you miss the lesson about tides in school? :-)

Yeah, Bytes vs bits. But who measures RAM in bits?
I remember too 8MB being the minimum, but upgraded to 12MB so it was possible to do something else while the kernel was compiling.
How did we get to the point where 8000MB is considered a bare minimum?
