Fall LC thread

It’s like he doesn’t understand how “news” works. But he certainly has succeeded in not drawing attention to the topic…

Well, Yglasias thought it looked like a huge breakthrough.

I’m dubious about AI being beneficial here anyway. It’s not challenging scientifically to predict where the sun will be, nor is it to sense where the sun is shining and use that information to direct mirrors. Perhaps there are some small improvements that could be made in either making tiny corrections or making heat distribution more even over some surface or something.

Sad to see Marie Kondo make a heel turn.

How am I supposed to know what does and does not spark joy if I’m not in tune with my root chakra? Think about it guys.

This is deeply disheartening. Deeply.

Personally, I think the model of public investment in basic research combined with private investment in commercial ventures to take those ideas to create real-world products is a really good one that produces huge benefits for society. That’s easy for me to say though–I don’t hate the investor class and view it as a basic policy objective to nationalize their investment capital.

I don’t hate them either. I also don’t worship them.

it would be nice if they didn’t charge $700 today for something that sold for $50 15 years ago.

Crystals spark some serious joy in loons.

I anticipate a tweet thread how his name should be taken out of the title.

Just saw The New York Times in the pic :joy:

This is a pretty interesting article how an employee stood over thirteen million dollars from the Sacramento Kings, how he got caught and his complete delusion about the crimes.

Also serves more evidence that dying while in a job that you embezzle from is likely the best chance one has of getting away with it. Otherwise after you leave it is likely to come out. At least if your dead you do not care.

The article is pretty long.

Just got home. Is he dead yet?

No he was babbling incoherently on camera today.

This was great. Do you have any other favorite articles like this to recommend?

Without clicking I thought it was going to be about the Thunder. This was super interesting though.

He looks like he was rushed to Walter Reed because his hair was dying.
