US House committee on CCP vows to help Taiwan defend against China taiwannews.com.tw/news/5676633
The sheer amount of energy needed to mine, refine, and transport fossil fuels is astounding. For example, 1% of total US energy consumption is down to merely the transport of natural gas, per @GriffithSaul. That's more energy than needed to get US children to school and back.
I have said this over and over and over and over again: if California adopted Texas' housing policies, it would become a completely unstoppable economic powerhouse. It would be eating Texas' lunch. California actively chooses to make itself poorer, to satisfy rich NIMBYs.

Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…
The sources of much of the suck in the business world: 1. Private equity taking something loved and leveraging it up to extract cash to become something not 2. McKinsey being straight up amoral

In the last 24 hours, two of our leading media sources (NYT & WSJ) have produced research pieces with hard data on why the U.S. should ban TikTok. Here is the NYT's killer chart. Tiktok systematically censors 80-99% of posts on certain viewpoints, relative to Instagram. 1/3
New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school - significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls - reduced bullying among both genders - improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates - largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids
I really don't understand the "open weight models are bad for competition" argument So much innovation is enabled by this. Fine tuning a pretrained LLM allows smaller companies to build models that outperform / match larger models in commercializable ways
