Yeah. Reading the opinion, the logical argument of criminalizing a status (homeless) versus an action (camping in public) makes sense. The action applies to everyone.

We as a society need to continue trying to solve the problem of homelessness. However, leveraging the 8th Amendment, in part, to do it doesn’t make sense.

So if you are homeless, how do you avoid running afoul of the law?

Nvidia’s profit margin for the H100 is supposedly in the neighborhood of 1000%. So they can afford give up some profit if they need to. Couple that with the fact that the software toolchain advantage is significant. That being said, I’m all for more competition in the space.

You don’t usually hear the notion that Iran has a winning strategy. Rather than downvoting, I’m going to say that your comment lacks credibility.

I don’t usually hear credible and thoughtful discussion on this topic…

Fiona Hill’s 2023 Lennart Meri Lecture describes this well.

This is a classic ethical dilemma. Self-driving cars will kill some amount of people via malfunctions, accidents, etc. Some amount will be children. Should we ban the development of the technology? What if it only killed 1 child? What about 10? What about 100? How many dead children is the benefit of self-driving cars worth?

"The world moved on", as it's said in the Dark Tower series.

The Marine Corp actually just became the first military branch to pass an audit:

Teaching: EDGE method. Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Evaluate.

Colleagues/leadership/etc, practice writing narrative. It really depends on the audience, but writing down your thoughts brings unparalleled clarity.

The sound aspect of the simulation of reality is going to take up a lot more cycles if we’re going to be hearing every tree that falls in the forest…

The thing is we're in the simulation as well, so we wouldn't notice any slowdown of the "host" machine itself.

But yeah, maybe it'll start consuming so much energy our alien gods will just shut our universe down. Thanks, Elon.

The sound recording data doesn’t need to be simulated to a high precision, especially for the 99.999% of the time when trees aren’t falling.

Saudi Arabia “got away with it” with Khashoggi. Realpolitik will prevail in the end I think.

No one I know associates writing code with writing narrative. I would assume you write books if you told me you are a writer.

Not many do. I will alternatively use the work programmer as I think it also contains something closer to the idea of what we do. But people blank when you tell them that vs. if you tell them you are a writer it might spark at least a bit more conversation.

So what you're saying is, essentially, that you've managed to increase engagement by actively misleading people? I'm not sure what to tell you, but congratulations on inventing clickbait for small talk!
