There are a few that are sailing, they are pretty modest size. There are plans for more and larger vessels but I don't think anyone expects widescale deployment anytime soon.

I hope he collaborates with archeologists to apply these methods to their work.

What methods? He just asked Claude to do it

We didn't see exactly what was done but there was probably some amount of setup, refinement, etc that occurred. Perhaps it could be packaged as a skill. And probably the actual archeologists know more about how it could be more generally useful, ie different geospatial formats, feature knowledge, processing libraries, etc.

Land is not a constraint in many places, definitely not in the US. Something like half the corn harvest is already used for solar energy in the form of ethanol. PV produces 20x the useful energy that corn for ethanol does, converting that land to PV would produce 3x the electricity we currently consume. On top of that there's other bio-energy crops like soy bean oil, or land that shouldn't be used for farming at all due to unsustainable water practices.

The US, and "many places" is not every country in the world though.

Bio energy crops are a terrible idea and solar would be better where possible.


In my mind Jan 6 was not the most dangerous moment regarding the transfer of power. That came earlier when Trump was trying to get the DoJ to declare voting irregularities, ie "Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen." His acting AG at the time refused, and his predecessor Barr had refused to get involved as well. Had Trump had the forethought to pack DoJ with toadies (like he has now) things could have gone very differently.

It will be interesting to see if the security implications of unreliable fossil fuel supply brings forward the date of peak co2 emissions. Adoption of EVs and solar PV is really spiking, particularly in the developing world.

Its also entirely possible things go back to "normal", like happened after the ME oil shocks of the 70s.


You have the harness pick the appropriate model for the appropriate task. Most high level software development projects can be broken down into tasks, many which do not need the smartest model.

Say what you will about him, Elon got his IPO money at peak valuation. Seems unlikely that Anthropic and Openai will get nearly as much.

Yep that man is an operator, He knows the game inside out and boy does he play it.

It shocking how different Olympic boxing is from pro boxing. Almost all Olympic style bouts finish and are decided on points, whereas pro boxing is primarily about inflicting damage, most often to the head to score a KO.

The injury data for football you cite are not relevant because they do not include CTE related findings. CTE itself can be caused even if no recorded injuries take place, it is the repeated pounding to the head that doesn't necessarily have to cause a concussion.

The author, Dean Baker an economist at a non-profit policy group, called the housing bubble. Not wealthy, he sold his condo in 2004 and bought a house in 2009.
