You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

My ex-husband is one of the rapists at Aella’s simulated rape orgies that John Wentworth, Nate Soares, and I’ve heard Eliezer Yudkowsky also attended. He was an emotionally abusive partner and, until I left EA/rationality, he used the cult to keep me trapped. Journalists please DM.

Of course with all the real world derates from charging, temperature, aging, etc, maybe 10 miles is more realistic. I'm not sure what percentage of a battery you'd need to save to make it worthwhile...

Quick maths, I'd guess you could fit ~2 kW of PV on roof of a big delivery van. In sunny parts of US you can get 5.5 peak sun hours on average so 11 kWh daily. The EDV van Amazon uses quotes 160 mi on 100 kWh so adding roof PV gives 17 extra miles on a sunny day ignoring weight/aerodynamics.

LLM: There is no way that is happening, you'd have to be functionally brain dead to even consider it. There are decades worth of literature about how this won't work. You'd need systemic failures across multiple independent chains of government. Complete loss of self interest! Talking meat:

Yeah I've seen these too, seems amazing to live above your grocer. There's even a costco in LA I think that has units above. But I imagine its far riskier and difficult to pull off compared to a normal 5/1 and you'd need a tenant 100% committed to the location before you break ground.

Sorry, this was a one-shot? No follow ups? As in you told Opus "make me a cool science music video about evolution" and it sent you this? Or did you pick this one out of a few different tries? Either way that's fucking insane if so.

Sean @solive.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah I wouldn't expect one building's residents alone can support a store, I meant more that it should provide a good base of business. In addition these 5/1s are often clustered and located on large streets so you'd have multiple buildings and passerbys to draw from.

Sean @solive.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Being a 60 second walk away for 5 floors worth of people who can afford rent in a brand new apartment should be plenty of its own demand, I would think. If the rent is reasonable it should be easy money if you're selling coffee, booze, and/or food.

Sean @solive.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Probably the spaces are too big and the rents too high. I've seen businesses share the space. Maybe the owners should consider renting out stalls or something so the rents are more approachable.

Sean @solive.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah same but I suspect that's an orthogonal issue with financing terms. My personal theory is that they are incentivized to choose "no tenant" vs "lower rents" for valuation reasons or taxes or something.

I have a masters degree in engineering, have taken multiple graduate level courses in (outdated) machine learning, signal processing, and information theory. Dirichlet, Bayesian, sure, I've done some of this math. Still no fucking idea what's going on in here. Turbo-encabulator levels of confusion.

I didn't even know "they" could be offensive to some. I'm so far outside of this space, I simply did not know. Of course I'll do my best to use someone's referred pronouns if asked but I'm afraid I'll default to they on accident sometimes just because it's so versatile.

When I say John Roberts is a liar, hack, anti-democracy ideologue, and enemy of the Constitution, I do so in a civil manner. No yelling or cursing here. But since he will be remembered as an utter disgrace who tried to destroy the republic but failed, some in the future might say it less civilly.
