I don't know where you pulled that from, its not in the article.
For #1, I would seek a laboratory capable of _actually_ creating a _live virus_. That link to lesswrong, while interesting, does not actually indicate how and broadly reads as incredibly speculative. While this is far…

This is not how it works. Even a cursory glance at the law makes it clear that this is not how it works. Here is New York: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/140.20
This is now an argument I can start to get behind. There isn't a need for profit seeking or "dollar optimization" and I fully subscribe to the argument that the government can just "do things". I likewise fully…
So your argument is that NASA, by virtue of being a government entity unburdened from profit seeking, could launch 18 rockets for less than $1.6B total or $88 million per launch?
Your argument is that NASA could launch 18 rockets for ~$160 million total or ~8.8 million per launch? Or is your argument that the "real" cost of this $1.6B SpaceX / Space Force contract is in fact closer to ~$16B or…

You cannot sell homebrew (and presumably won't be able to sell distilled beverages) without a very expensive license. Homebrewers (of all forms) are generally very aware of this when they get into the hobby. Even "cute"…
You can view the actual data and control for your own recency bias one way or the other. I see data from 2005 - 2024 trivially accessible. https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/Pages/research.aspx
Stardew likely qualifies for the reduced store cuts. Steam _lowers_ the percentage for a game when it sells high. Still somewhere between 10 and 25%, though. Generally, the Steam cut is considered “fair” for Indy devs.…
I don’t think you’ll find many race tracks that permit horses and cars to compete together. (I did enjoy the sarcasm, though!)
That was a very fun sub thread to read, both for the on-topic and off-topic discussion. Thanks for sharing.
Left handed person here. Writing is already a chore, tying up both hands just to use a fountain pen without smearing seems to cross an effort/reward boundary. Maybe useful if you were really committed to the tool. I've…
Presumably, the original quote that would _not_ stump an LLM is "A father and a son are involved in a car accident. The father dies, and the son is taken to the emergency room. At the emergency room, the surgeon remarks…

I did try. Still “sign in to read.” Your second link gives me an option to close the full screen modal (or the NYT gives second-try people a pass.)
This isn't meant to persuade you, just sharing my own experience. I've found myself almost relying on Kagi's `Quick Answer`. Its fantastic having it off by default and being able to opt-in when I just want a quick…
I clearly cannot speak to others. I can say that in my friend circles (very left) the _two_ trump assassination attempts were taken quite seriously and we were pulling up live feeds of it within 5 minutes of it being…
This is a bad take. You're essentially making the claim that you shouldn't care about something unless it happens within your immediate vicinity or you are directly affected. Replace "viewed it through a screen" with…
This is me. My wife's old intel air was finally getting slow enough she was willing to replace it. Ordered a 2023 M3 Pro for her on Monday (that was even on sale!) knowing the refund window was ~2 weeks. Today, ordered…
