In functionality, yes, more or less jump jets. But much much cheaper to implement with drones instead.

I'm pretty sure anti ship missiles have known to recognize ship types and steer to weak points for quite some time.

It would be very different. Heli would be long range, small number of larger helis, very juicy targets for manpads and bigger AD.

Drones can be hidden near the front, and will carry individual soldiers plus equipment. Nobody has 20 manpads at ready, and would be funny to shoot S300 at them. They can be used for short jumps - go over the immediate front line, or over a river, or a mine field. Doubt they'll carry 200 pounds for over a few clicks - but enough to get behind the enemy.

Color me unsurprised. Industry in which it's been basically illegal to build gets taken over by booming subsidized industry.

There is very little actionable information here. Nuclear is still worth building, in countries that don't overregulate it (China is doing it, even while they export the solar panels that everybody is buying). Solar is hitting pretty steep marginal returns on the value of generated watt, because it's all running at the same time and not necessarily when energy is most needed. We still haven't solved cheap battery storage. etc.

Literally yesterday I received a box of boxes with my next 2 years worth of aligners. That's one year _after_ I finished my orthodontic treatment. At least they're owning it up and not charging me for this batch.

I think it's just complicated. I'm pretty sure dentists go to the most conferences per year, possibly way above any other specialty. And since I doubt whatever perks they get are worth the trouble, I'm forced to believe them that they're constantly finding out about new stuff.

And the one piece of actionable advice I got from my own experiences: ReminPro melon flavor is a wonderfully tasty toothpaste, and it will actually remineralize your teeth. I no longer wince at hot/cold stuff. Downside is that it's somewhat pricy, and you'll probably need to order online from specialty shops.

Also get a water flosser.

Like others said, weather and conditions. During summers here clothes dry in an hour during the day, and they're half ironed to boot. In the winters however... I still remember bringing my jeans back inside as a slab of ice, and having foggy windows due to drying indoors.

I added a REPL in my software for internal use by Claude. I _really_ wanted it to be Clojure. I had it perform increasingly more complex benchmarks... and they kept coming a wash.

I know it's a small example, but it's a real effect that languages/libraries/frameworks become less and less important, when intelligence and code generation get better and cheaper.

Not sure how you can call it stupid. They perform a role which is valued by a lot of people, especially those living in apartments.

That's exactly why we convert things to money - so we don't use arbitrary measurements. An energy use is not "wasteful", it can only be expensive. Which is worth or not, depending on particular conditions.

Are you maybe commenting to an older version of the pdf? because the very next slide explains it. "You're absolutely right, I did hack the FDA...".

It's not about needing to trust proofs (or treatments) to use them. It's about goal alignment.

Too many. Ended up getting a $100 physical machine from Hetzner and doing virtualization - was cheaper than keeping all the VPSes.

For starters, a VPS for each claude code project (with a simple orchestrator and project creator).

I'm also playing lowkey with small ESP32 powered automations, and having a VPS to monitor them, show a web interface and push updates. And I've just added a small REPL like module.

Why would the financing of the museum be the primary metric? The common good of Rodin reproductions is easily comparable with a moderate pinch in the museum's cash flow. Or it's closer to being incomparable, but from the other direction.

This would pack more of a punch if ASML wasn't the only go to example about Europe doing something in tech.

Could you please tell us more about your setup, project harness etc? not permissions (we all work with "Auto"), but what you actually told the agent it should/could do.

And how did you intervene? Does it have permissions to send emails, or it only created the draft?

This is a pretty interesting example and highly relevant, but details matter a lot if we want to use it as a lesson.

I wouldn't mind having verified accounts _as an alternative_. Not enforced over existing SM.

I'd like to know that when I'm reading a comment, it's written (or at least endorsed) by a human being. Currently that's.. debatable, and it's only going to be more so. Entities with cash and resources can focus on the topics relevant to them and drown the conversation. I'd like to at least know that the idiotic replies I'm getting are real human idiots, and not astroturfing in one shape or another.

In the context of climate change, it is the opinion that more industrialization and technologization cannot help solving the problem, except in a few narrow acceptable directions (solar, wind, hydrogen etc).

An example would be the european reaction to AC. It's a way of using technology to solve warming, its costs are perfectly acceptable, but it is still frown upon because... well, it's beyond the scope of a HN comment to diagnose why, but it's an example of technology being able to mitigate a problem but not being allowed to.
