This is probably certifying your nationality as the US government has placed anthropic under export restrictions.

Pent up demand at a much lower price point.

My takeaway from stories like this is that it was always really easy to crack in to companies, but most knowledgeable people had better things to do.

Paper is an organic material with structure. Recycling damages that structure when actually you want to preserve it as much as you can. At some point you need a tree to grow to put that organic structure in place.

Batteries have human made structures constructed from pure materials. Battery recycling completely shreds the batteries and then mechanically & chemically separates the materials giving you the pure copper, gold, aluminium, cobalt, zinc, etc back. You’re then back to step 1 of the manufacture except you didn’t mine your raw materials.

Down 6%.

The line wiggled a bit.

Batteries can have their materials 99.9% reclaimed. No need to keep mining after a certain point.

I bet it will be a stock deal.

Nothing wrong with a good helping of faggots.

She’s still got hips and shoulders too I hope.

They were ousted because the contract was awarded without going through a proper process. The contract was therefore signed by someone without authority. That means it was not a valid contract between Palantir and the Met.

They could conceivably sue the person who signed the contract, but they wouldn’t do that as that’s their “guy on the inside”.

Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn’t in control of much.

Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.

Generally I think he’s been on the right side of history, but with the current situation I think he’s let his personal ties with Israel through Judaism put him in a bad position.

I don’t think it’s uncommon amongst those in the Jewish community. They’ve been raised in families that saw Israel as reparations after the holocaust. To now acknowledge that “their own people” have turned into the oppressors that they escaped… that’s something many will be unable to accept.

I hear it’s really splitting the British Jewish community.

An RC circuit charging up to some threshold voltage. You can even make it adjustable with a variable resistor.

I was assuming it was disposable (as so many are) and therefore no charging circuit.

A vape is a battery connected to a button connected to a heating coil. You might want a single transistor. You don’t need a software platform.

I’ve been experimenting with agentic coding the past couple of weeks. The task is to write a data scraper for a report file I get out of a commercial tool I have to use for work.

It’s a pain of a format because it’s not written with computer parsing in mind. It’s verbose, contains loads of redundant parts, and doesn’t have good delimiters around data. It’s big too. 500MB uncompressed, so we keep them gzip’d.

All reasons why I don’t want to write the code to do it.

The model identifies the file format without me saying where it came from, but it sits in this loop:

• “Let me analyse the input file” - Does various greps, seds, and awks to pull out sections and find patterns in their formatting.
• “I understand the format enough for now” - and then proceeds to write out a list of rules it’s discovered. This bit is actually quite impressive.
• “Now I need to draft the data structures the data will go into” - …and it will write some over-decomposed objects. Not out to disk though.
• “The user says they want a parser, so let me start writing the actual code” … Finally!.. But hang on…
• “Actually, I need to understand the file format more” - loop to the top.

It does this for hours.

The tiny bits of code I’ve actually managed to get out of it are really bad. It’s like the code you’d get back from some race-to-the-bottom offshore software “team” you were forced to work with 10-15 years ago because your boss had found an “amazing opportunity”. In actuality it was somebody’s teenage nepo-hire. Similar adherence to rules and standards too.

I already have a rough data scraper for this file. It’s a couple of hundred lines of python. I wrote it in an afternoon. It’s not great. It doesn’t get everything I want out. However it exists and is usable. This isn’t an intractable task.

Sounds like a good investment if you were paying a price based off today’s value. A terrible one in actuality.

Not Twitter. He only moved the AI over so he could attach it to something that could hide it’s losses (not very well).

Starlink is the part of spaceX making money. Selling a low latency global communications capability is a sound business model. The rocketry part is close to break even. I suspect it could do with a few more launches that weren’t starlink.

It’s xAI that’s tanking the whole thing. Without that SpaceX would be profitable. With it, it’s a trash stock.

I was thinking more Korea, Singapore and Taiwan than China.
