Sometimes I wake up and start doing new science. But usually I just roll over and go back to sleep.

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.

For a small fee you can get your bullshit before everyone else.

Now, we will watch the scramble from all the telephone companies seeking to rebrand their handsets as 'wearable tech'

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 have a physics degree and I was aiming for a +1, Funny. I guess since we're joking about global warming, it counts as "dark" humour.

It's particularly bad because as we all know, dark surfaces absorb more heat than light ones.

I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.

They can be called in the same way, but not all of them are as good at working in a particular harness as each other. Anthropics models have been trained to call tools in a certain way, the chinese models may or may not work in a way that is compatible. Tool calling ability (not just whether or not you can do it, but how and when it decides which tools to call and why) differs WILDLY between open models.

National security isn't part of the picture unless these things are running in China, or phoning home. Something that is easy to prevent (for now)

The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.

AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.

+1 for "Language x isn't just for country x". In my favourite example, I spent a week in Hungary where nobody spoke English (this was a smaller town in the 1990s) but everyone knew German. So my rarely used knowledge of German came in handy, probably more than ever since. It meant I could hang out with the local teens in my off days, instead of hanging on to our guide for translation.
