Well, foo. My comment about President Facade torpedoed before it set sail.

Pardon the dumb question. How do you get Claude to run locally? And control hardware? The Claude I use at work is only accessible via web page and runs on an Nvidia DGX H200.

It looks like he's using my beloved Northgate keyboard.

Can infrared energy be reflected like light? What would a good reflector be? (THEORETICALLY) Would a parabolic dish over this facility be able to focus the heat to a single point and, if so, what would the temp be? Is it additive? Like X joules of Y degrees over Z square meters focused down to 1 Sq cm?

I'm sorry, this article reads like something a low-level HR drone was ordered to write with the help of AI. "Come up with an excuse we can feed to the board of directors about why we fired all the high-paid productive SMEs, lost our most profitable customers and tanked our profits this year".

I'm a little vague on how this works.

So the "bad guys" have loads of SIM cards installed into machines that can make calls or send SMS text messages, right? Doesn't each SIM card require an account with a cell phone provider in order to access "the phone network"? If not then are they getting free cell service and how do I sign up with that (ahem) provider? If so then how were those sim cards paid for? Can we follow the money?

Elected representatives frequently introduce bills that have no chance of passing or being considered. This proposed legislation is only to gain points with the electorate: "I introduced a bill to ban/promote XYZ but it was killed by the other side". It's red-cape waving. I would like to come up with a name for this behavior but I'm trying to restrict my use of bad language and negative thinking.

The ban as you described it is pretty specific. Would it be ok for someone to spray chemicals and metals for other reasons and not to induce rain by cloud-seeding? Crop-dusting might fall under this category. And what exactly are "nanochemicals"?

I misread this as "On loyalty to your emperor". As it turn out I ain't got that either.

I hope this isn't true. I'm very upset reading this.

Been done. It's called scientology.

Do any talking cats live or have their offices there?

Indeed. I am finding it hard to fire up some reason for conker beyond "it's yet another British drinking game". Perhaps because the name sounds like Conquer, as in William, The.
