    Normalize checking whether things are true before believing them.

    This viral marketing for “Neuromancer” is getting out of hand.

    FT: “Imagine a super-AI armed with access to all the data we let our devices record for every transaction we enter into….Such an AI would surely bury Hayek… it shows that AI removes one of the 20th century’s strongest arguments against central planning.” ft.com/content/cd3fcb…

    TIL that the new California law re-legalizing household solar panels is the work of former Burbank city councilman @AsmNickSchultz (and perennial friend of housing @Scott_Wiener ). Qapla', my dudes.

    My condolences to anyone who wastes time playing prerelease versions of P2 or L4D2. Listen, every good idea we had went into the final thing we shipped, and anything not in the final version was not a good idea.

    (2/2) This includes beta builds of Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Counter-Strike, third party games like Sonic 4, ton of indie games, etc. It's very recent, over a dozen terabytes in size, a lot to sort through, & this whole situation is going to probably get really messy very quickly

    In the future of agent cybersecurity, OCR won’t provide something human readable. Hidden messages will be via bytes conveyed in pixel variances — a “language” (patterned form of input/output) decodable by agents, formed by agents, well outside of what we can oversee.
