We thought that consciousness was the core of what made something worthy of moral consideration, because only life showed conscious behavior. Now we have machines that can output behavior indistinguishable from…
That CNN website is great, except it still has a huge cookie banner. Looking at the cookies of the site, I think the only cookie it sets is that i clicked on the banner. Most of the size of the page is also related to…
This is one of the best, succinct lists of motivations for hybrid warfare i've seen. But i could suggest another potential benefit for russia: If russia already operates under the assumption that they are in a (cold)…
I have bought the new SQ probes and went back to only buying the older version. The new ones are heavier, but that makes it harder to put them at an angle, they fall over more quickly. And the probe heads are bigger so…
Super capacitors are highly overrated by the general public. They really aren't that much better than lithium ion except for in a very narrow power/time bandwidth.
The strangest thing to me is that apparently this material has been developed years ago, the video of a piece floating was uploaded 3 months ago, and apparently it's easy to produce more samples, but the papers still…
To add to the list: The Netherlands has "rijksoverheid" (government) in sans and serif. https://www.rijkshuisstijl.nl/publiek/modules/product/Digita...
Reddit going downhill is mostly because they are trying to become more like Meta. A competitor should be less meta, not more meta.
I think the original goal, and one I still support, is for websites to realize that they are better off with not showing the banners and just defaulting to "no". It's been surprising to me that an industry that has been…
When I tried waymo a month or two ago a remote "driver" took over. When we called the support center about it later they told us that it's not them literally taking over the controls, but only giving some additional…
The problem for san Francisco is that they just attract more homeless whenever they try to help them. You can not solve poverty in a single city with open borders, you need to solve it for the whole state/country.…
The program in the article linked is specifically targeted to some of the poorer neighborhoods in Amsterdam. These neighborhoods are known for them being largely inhabited by the descendants of former slaves and…
I wonder how much value there would be in having some level of dissimilar redundancy in (soon to be) NATO air forces. All NATO countries having fleets of the F35 makes us vulnerable to any kind of weakness or bug that…
This video feels like just a product page read out loud.
Based on his recent company, Jared Kushner. If he can bring peace to the Middle East then fixing Twitter should be a breeze.
Society already slows down a lot when the sun is down. Is that dystopian too?
If someone would offer me 10k in cash instead of a bank transfer I would assume they are a criminal anyway...
Isn't user-generated video mostly dead though? The vast majority of videos on Youtube, at least by viewership hours, seems to be produced by professional youtube creators. These range in scale from the "web content"…
> they are currently replacing coal power at a greater rate then France, despite Germany actively shutting down nuclear plants that still had years of life left. That sounds a less impressive when you rephrase it as…
A lot of industry like datacenters and vehicles are moving to 48V. 48V is right on the limit of what is considered low-voltage and therefor doesn't have special safety requirements. And because it's a multiple of 12V,…
Those kind of comments are not paid comments, but just a way to get spam links on a site. My personal website (which has comments hidden, but clearly the API still works) is completely filled with comments like that.
Bregman's point in his book is that the belief that everyone is greedy is more harmful than the greed itself.
As a color blind person, a lot of his "better" suggestions were absolutely impossible to discern to me, while his "worse" examples were fine. I wish more people made visualizations based on brightness rather than a hue…

I sometimes wonder if these @Home projects are actually a net good. Due to the lower energy efficiency of old hardware, or just the higher overhead from running multiple less power full machines, it might be a lot…
