I’m home sick and I’m Gen X, so obviously I’m watching vintage The Price Is Right episodes on YouTube. There was a Vicks 44 ad with John DeLancie (Q from STTNG).

My worry is that a mania to bring down electricity rates will result in a bunch of slopulist policies that have the effect of choking off investment in the grid & thereby stymying further electrification. I worry we'll start to see "rising demand for electricity" as ipso facto a *bad* thing.

OK, some folks asked: why does the stampede toward electricity-affordability as a political issue make me nervous? This probably warrants an essay or something, but I'll try to summarize. Basically: we need to electrify the economy. That will involve a grid 2, 3, even 4X the capacity of ours.

Why do they call it an “eyeglass prescription” instead of “specs specs”?

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

I don't make the rules. Smallest model you can date is half your logged parameters plus 7. log2(1.5T) + 7 = 27 while log2(70B) = 36. Relationship approved.

I have a “Quiet Posters” feed as my second timeline, and with alarming frequency I switch to it by accident, then refresh madly wondering why nobody’s posting.

YES you're "cognitively offloading" when you have the maps apps do turn-by-turn GPS navigation for you you're "cognitively offloading" when you do division on a calculator instead of doing long division by hand etc. etc. there's nothing inherently wrong with it, people are just weird about AI
