Trash is normally disposed of in a Cygnus or Progress vehicle (both of which do *controlled* re-entry and burnup)

Evidently 3 months because the stay was imposed 88 days before the scheduled trial. So 3 months (90 days) is just hitting un-pause.

@fraser Impressive! I don't get it though - how do you get from polarized light to magnetic fields? Is the magnetic field affecting polarization?

Yuck! At least my Honda uses the brake pedal to distinguish between drive mode and accessory. Unfortunately if I mess up and accidentally put it in accessory I feel like a Riverdance dancer trying to remember the sequence to get back into drive mode...

There is a deliberate ignition interlock, to guarantee the car doesn't accidentally go anywhere when you start. (Used to be if you left the car in gear, but now there's an interlock on that too).

Some of the top channels apparently make enough to be able to buy expensive cars or even planes for stupid destructive stunts.

I don't think compute time will be an issue.

I think Cory ironically forgets the one low-risk, high-value application for AI that will not be going away anytime soon: the enshittification of the internet.

So long as the YouTubes, TikToks, and Facebooks of the world value high volume over high quality there will always be a robust market for LLMs.

Technologically beneficial, until the VCs see the short-term drop in sales and liquidate everything.

Unless some cryptobro-equivalent comes along with the next fad.

Perfect for a Sunday morning, here is Dead Territory with their Death Metal cover of JohnCage's 4'33".

Warning: THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER and it might get stuck in your head all day.
