Whereas, if he'd used the software engineering techniques that were well-known and well-described at that time, he'd not have included the bugs in the first place. Or, if he had, he'd have detected them in testing.

I do not find it reassuring that a chief technology officer is pleased that he wasn't clever enough to write or test code correctly. What I do find is that I fully understand how he can be a CTO in an organisation notorious for defective software and even more defective bugfix releases.

If it is a state actor then it is a terrorist state instead of an organization.

If the claim is to be made that AI boosts productivity enough to cut staff in half, then show your work.

But they won't! They'll have a new excuse next quarter why their revenue and productivity isn't growing. And they'll ask for more capital to buy compute equipment they don't actually know what to do with. Great news for chip makers but bad news for another AI-entangled fintech.

Economic colleges are funded mostly by tuition. Which is funded mostly by a regressive taxation system called student loans.

I schedule a lot of meetings over multiple timezones and it gets a little weird that not every country does their DST on the same date. It's not that we can't have a computer communicate the correct time, but we do try to avoid scheduling meetings too late (~9pm) or too early (~6am) and give everyone a reasonable time for dinner if it's a long meeting (more than 1.5 hours).

I think at least one person misses one of my meetings during every time change.

You would fix something that most people already know how to use and are not really struggling with?

I'm fine with whatever time gets local solar noon roughly near the time zones noon most of the day, if it's off by 30 minutes in someplace at some times of the year that is still better than switching back and forth by an hour twice a year.

You will not even find agreement among economists on if balancing the federal budget is useful or even desirable. I think in peacetime and during a period of economic growth that a balanced budget is a decent goal, but in bad times the debt is preferable to austerity.

while we don't really need the asteroid's help, it is nice to have a backup plan.

Perhaps it is difficult to write such a law in a way that also still allows for non-voting, non-dividend-yielding public stocks. Might be easier to just let this prediction market nonsense to go on as long as there isn't a way for people to slide their retirement accounts into it (like they now can with crypto)

This issue with machine made decisions is kind of the same issue with a committee, which have historically refused to accept accountability for their decisions.

We were bombing schools on our own before AI.

is same generation silicon built at the same foundries? yes.

Nobody wants to sell to consumers anymore. Memory manufactures want orders that go out beyond 5 quarters and pay near retail price for wholesale memory.

Or, having electricity is harmful to human health. Better to stumble around in the dark and gather every scrap of wood to burn for cook fires.
