Interesting/deflating interview on why Americans don't want to build ships with Gary Kim, a Wharton School grad student who has studied US, Chinese, Japanese, & Korean shipyards, formerly a junior officer with US Navy construction units in Asia & a Detroit manufacturing manager

To all “independent evaluators” that may audit my lab (OpenAI), Anthropic, GDM, etc., PLEASE hire researchers with a wide spectrum of expertise and not just “AI safety”. Cybersecurity, bio, child safety, natsec, and various other domains should be well represented so that your audits cover a wider sample of harm/safety. I am quite worried the field is not diverse enough and needs to improve. I am very happy to see forward progress here and I applaud AI leadership across the frontier today. I look forward to working together.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

People call me a designer but I am closer to the ham radio people by a huge margin than to designers. So naturally want to represent the interests of ham radio people. Ham radio people are interested in excelling at ham radio things. Therefore, they build things that help them with efficient ham radio operations. My objective is to take their philosophy and distill important aspects of what makes them efficient at ham radio operations. As, there is a considerable amount of natural gatekeeping from normies to entering the field, the prerequisite of understanding the magical world of RF keeps the football fans and such people out. Ham radio people are purely a group of high interest and low tolerance for nonsense. It is also extremely boring to sit on top of a mountain and scan for contacts in freezing cold and scorching sun, hence there is a great deal of peace and contemplation for sharpening their tools. It must be the finest stuff. It is the finest stuff. In a different universe, there would be a distinct tribe of ham radio people, a distinct culture with distinct etiquette and customs. They'd curtly communicate over CW in deliberate pulses of pure intent and information. A tribe entirely devoid of fancy coffee machines and mood boards. Their user interfaces match this philosophy of high grade minimalism and extreme straightforwardness. Football people think it is complex, for they do not understand the difference between organization and chaos in a more general sense. I pledge my arm to protect these people with constancy of my fervour and my might. They are my people and this is our flag. - 73, AD8K.

Collateralized Cheese Obligations defaulting, again ?
JUST IN: Extreme heat is threatening Italy’s “cheese banks,” where hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano-Reggiano wheels are stored as loan collateral.

Today is the 856th Anniversary of the birth of St. Dominic, and the Feast Day of the founder of the Order of Preachers, who famously led the crusade against the Albigensian heresy, and to whom the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared and gave the Rosary in 1214. Ora pro nobis

Look, I'm still not the kind of priest to say things like "they're putting demons in the robots," but the chainsaw-wielding black drones with eyeball horns are making it harder to argue my case
U.S. company Satyress is developing threehalves, a centaur-style robot designed for dangerous environments such as wildfires, rubble searches, toxic areas and confined spaces. The system combines a humanoid upper body with a quadruped mobility platform. #USA #Robotics #UGV #AI

America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence; perhaps the only piece of practical politics that is also theoretical politics and also great literature.

In an alternate universe this would have been an AMAZING use of Georgetown in Seattle. Already mixed residential-industrial. Put a trade school and an engineering school down there, and it would have been phenomenal.
A quirk of American college towns becoming so wealthy is schools that train thousands of engineers annually are surrounded by expensive homes or protected farmland. American engineering schools should have adjacent industrial zones to facilitate spin-off technologies & startups!
