10 obvious reasons that the danger from AGI is way more serious than nuclear weapons: 1) Nuclear weapons are not smarter than humanity. 2) Nuclear weapons are not self-replicating. 3) Nuclear weapons are not self-improving. 4) Scientists understand how nuclear weapons work. 5) You can calculate how powerful a nuclear weapon will be before setting it off. 6) A realistic full exchange between two nuclear powers wouldn't extinguish literally all of humanity. 7) It would be hard to do a full nuclear exchange by accident and without any human being having decided to do that. 8) The materials and factories for building nuclear weapons are relatively easy to spot. 9) The process for making one nuclear weapon doesn't let you deploy 100,000 of them immediately after. 10) Humanity understands that nuclear weapons are dangerous, politicians treat them seriously, and leading scientists can have actual conversations about the dangers.

The fact you have Tories cheering on a clown with a bin on his head who despises conservatism tells you all you need to know about whether the party has truly changed. Sigh.

For agentic coding, one can say: - Unless you need Terra Ultra perf, it's always better to use a Luna model with higher effort setting (same or better performance but cheaper). - Forget everything below Sol High, use Luna with higher effort settings here - Forget Sol Extra High, use Terra Ultra here - The extra cost of Sol Ultra is probably not worth it over Max

Hunk is very good. It has completely replaced any other local diff viewer for me. It looks good, its speedy, good keyboard shortcuts, good mouse support for fallback. Great software @bentlegen. github.com/modem-dev/hunk

David Lammy is now Deputy Prime Minister… A man who thinks that Henry VII succeeded Henry VIII; Marie Antoinette won a Nobel Prize; & Red Leicester is a blue cheese.

Therapist realises that the machine that constantly validates all your feelings and tells you what you want to hear is basically indistinguishable from modern psychotherapy.
