1/ This line, that because a Chinese company has a minority stake in Hinkley Point C, the UK Labour government must be “anti-Scottish” to have blocked the Ming Yang wind turbine factory, on national security grounds, is very easily debunked.
2/ The Chinese involvement in new nuclear was a decision made in 2015 by the David Cameron government. gov.uk/government/new…
3/ And in 2022, the Rishi Sunak government reversed that position by moving to exclude any further Chinese involvement in new nuclear, on national security grounds. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2022-1…
1/ Simply using a 💩 emoji on the state-mandated Russian messenger app MAX is enough to result in a user being convicted and fined, or potentially even imprisoned. A recent court case highlights how the app is blatantly being used as an instrument of repression. ⬇️

A great day for Hungarians, Europe, and all who respect democracy and the rule of law. Magyar now carries that blessed burden of the people's will.
As for Orbán and his globalist elite sponsors, Trump and Putin, they will take this as another reason to avoid free and fair elections at all costs!
As nice as it is to make fun of Vance for failing to save Orban, it's not about him. Orban's kleptocracy failed the people. Most Hungarians couldn't care less what America and the Trump admin wanted. US influence has evaporated. They'd had enough of Russian interference already.

True story: I once had a section 8 tenant threaten to shoot me.
BUT... she was inherited; I didn't place her there. But I definitely removed her!
I've had hundreds of Section 8 tenants since, and it's been GREAT.
So - here's EXACTLY how to get Section 8 tenants who pay on time, every single month, backed by the government. (And... don't shoot you.)

Contact your local Housing Authority and ask to become an approved landlord.
It's free. Fill out the paperwork, schedule an inspection, and get your property listed. Most Housing Authorities have a landlord portal online. Takes about 2-3 weeks.
The number of landlords who skip this step because they think it's complicated is insane. It's a form.

Make sure your property passes HQS (Housing Quality Standards) inspection.
Working smoke detectors, no peeling paint, functioning plumbing, safe electrical. It's basic habitability stuff.
If your property can't pass this inspection, you have bigger problems than finding tenants. Fix the property first.

🧵For the record, I am not pro-woodchipper, or pro-porcupine, or pro-Iran. [Explained in #2] I am trying to keep the potentially coming Great Energy World War sea battles in the realm of reality, and not a recurring fantasy of our Navy's glory days of WW2.
This coming sea war will not be Tom Cruise in Top Gun slapping around Grenada, Panama, Libya or Venezuela. Iran can bite back.

I'm trying to keep our side from doing extremely stupid things.

3. Already, we have exposed our inability to close with Iran. Sending 2 destroyers dashing in and back out while VP Vance was in Pakistan engaged in negotiations with Iran merely highlighted our reluctance to bring our main force near to Iran. This will have repercussions across Asia, and around the world, as nations realize that when push comes to shove, they will be not be able to depend on the US Navy to ride to their rescue.
@SHL0MS i strongly agree humans are not perusing arbitrary goals, just diverse ones. i suppose to me the question we're answering has always been "do we have confidence the goals of these minds will lead to global perpetual human flourishing", which is a pretty small target
@SHL0MS i don't think either my or eliezer's arguments actually need "the subspace has totally arbitrary correlation free goals", the argument just requires "we dont have very high confidence that the structure very strongly gives us good goals"
@SHL0MS the line of "general mindspace is unconstrained goal wise -> we don't know very much about any individual construction mechanism so we don't have such confidence there -> some realizable (human) minds already have goals that would destroy humanity if scaled up" seems to hold ?
You wake up. Your phone says "Action Required: Sign In." Your password fails. The recovery email is already changed.
Your entire digital life: banking, photos, work, is gone.
But if you set up these safeguards beforehand, the hacker just hits a brick wall. Use these 18 rules to build an unhackable digital fortress:

But if you set up these safeguards beforehand, the hacker just hits a brick wall. Use these 18 rules to build an unhackable digital fortress:
1. The SMS Vulnerability
Situation: You use your phone number for two-factor authentication. A hacker calls your carrier, pretends to be you, and ports your number to their SIM card. They now get all your security codes.
System: Remove your phone number from critical accounts. Use an authenticator app like Authy or a physical security key.
Why it works: App-based codes generate locally on your device. Without physical access to your unlocked phone, the hacker gets nothing.

2. The Password Manager Trap
Situation: You did the right thing and got a password manager, but you used a master password that you also use for your Spotify account.
System: Create a completely unique 20+ character master passphrase. Write it down on a physical piece of paper and put it in a safe. Never type it on a public computer.
Why it works: Your vault is the master key to your life. Securing it with an offline passphrase isolates the risk.

PSA that we retroactively ran an AI writing detector over all the pitches we got, and found that we advanced human-written pitches ~2.4x as often as AI-generated pitches.
1/3
1/3
2/3
- We did not have AI writing detectors running when we initially vetted the pitches
- Some AI-generated pitches were great, and we focused on the content, not on punishing LLM "tells"
- ≥2 humans vetted all initial 500 pitches, plus one Claude
- about half of pitches were >80% AI, if the detectors are to be trusted, which they probably aren't

3/3 My thinking is:
- AI can turn a busy person's 50-page doc on an idea into a great pitch
- AI cannot just ingest our RFP and produce a great pitch as a response (yet)
So the people who had an idea spelled out could use AI to refactor it and do a good job, and the people who didn't couldn't.
Moving forward we'll use AI writing detectors but not punish AI writing in isolation -- only when also coupled with a lack of substance, which low-context AI writing is prone to producing.
