Yeah the secure thing is to ignore all requests from domains without DKIM, but that would mean ignoring a lot of legitimate requests which is illegal. Revolut are known to be a bit shady but in this case they're damned…
Revolut are well known for using automated systems for all support and it being difficult/impossible to talk to an actual human
And there is a guardrail you can put in place that will guarantee this doesn't happen, which is to air gap the unaligned "cyber grade" model you're testing. They don't seem to do that, which means either they are: -…
The london riots were sparked by the police shooting Mark Duggan for (allegedly, no good evidence) carrying a gun around in a taxi. People do definitely use regular taxis to transport both drugs and weapons sometimes
The modern way to progress to chin ups normally involves bands and eccentrics, but you can also just do partial reps (starting with the top of the movement) and gradually work on adding depth. (This also avoids the…
Jenson already wisely cashed out a lot of his holdings a while ago

Best way to improve the behaviour of other drivers (at least in the UK): drive a van, ideally an unmarked one with a couple of dents already. Miraculously everyone else suddenly learns how to drive and doesn't try…
Yep fundamentally different from back end because you don't control the client. In theory the client can do literally anything (for example, someone could be using an ancient version or have some features voluntarily…
It’s an absolute clown show that it was down for 4 hours, but would you want to be flying in some of the busiest airspace in the world on a “backup” ATC system that isn’t normally used? Personally I would not
It's fine for fintech etc, but air traffic control software yes I imagine not so much. Likely either outsourced or done by people who are comically underpaid considering how important it is
Yep same with latest Claude models - code isn't really any better than Opus 4.5/4.6, but use 5x as many tokens doing random stuff that's mostly unnecessary. And yeah still for some reason they often can't understand how…
To be fair Opus 4.6 was genuinely a really good model when it came out, in fact I'm not sure Opus 5 is even any better. It's definitely a lot slower, though
Should Europe also be controlled only by its indigenous population then? (Don't actually answer that I don't want to start a big off topic discussion, just saying if we want to be logically consistent...)
Again just run the numbers - full sun in summer vs cloudy day in the middle of winter even at only 40 degree latitude. Output in the latter case will be under 10% of full power and probably under 5%. It’s not bullshit…
Batteries can solve short term (days to a week at most) storage problems, they don't solve seasonal storage problems - making sure you have enough energy all the way through a cold, not very sunny, and not consistently…
Batteries don't solve the storage problem, but surely you know this. China is pursuing the strategy you're describing, but there's a reason they're also building nuclear, they're increasing LNG infrastructure, they…
I don't think you're unusual at all. The modern world is almost designed to make you crazy in some ways and makes it harder than it ideally would be to achieve these ideals (which is what they are, we're all human and…
Also Sam, Dario et al have been constantly (like literally, every single week at least) been telling us that AI is going to make all of us unemployable and have to live on welfare. Is it any wonder people hear that and…
Ultimately the common thread in most of these cases seems to be a lack of purpose and meaning in life in general, not really an issue with the specific work environment. The purpose of life is to make meaningful human…
Hate to sound like a Marxist but... this is what happens when capital has this much power concentrated in so few people. Eventually the system eats itself. If you're in the right elite at the right time though, you can…
And you don't normally need to consciously countersteer on a push bike because of some combination of 1) lower speed and 2) much higher body mass relative to the bike, but countersteering is absolutely essential on a…
At the time the Soviet Union had the Spanish government over a barrel because they were the only people who could/would supply significant quantities of desperately needed weapons (the opposing Nationalists were better…
People take it for granted how insanely good modern internal combustion engines are after 150 years of continuous improvement. A modern petrol engine is a miracle in terms of reliability, performance, smoothness and…
