3) I use out of date hardware and software as much as possible, being rigorously paranoid to never expose it to anything risky, and keep it locked down as much as possible. (Which means little Internet use... which is…
Seems like the next logical step, really.
Arguably, allowing anyone to create very believable lies is a world-changing superpower.
My understanding (as a very amateur astrononer) is that it's an entirely different sort of scope - very wide field, with the ability to track extermely faint objects, rather than magnification of a much smaller field.…
It's not just "any individual with a telescope" though. It's stuff like the Simonyi Survey Telescope, a set to map the southern sky down to below 27th magnitude that's in trouble.
Except... I find I get more useful results from bing, ddg, kagi than I do from Google. (Not great results, but reliably less contaminated with pure junk.) Obviously, my personal search habits aren't going to match those…
That we're so lacking in real hope and dreams, so people buy them a few dollars at a time from gas stations.
>Whether or not copyright has "worn out its welcome", it continues to be a legal reality in the US. Unless you're a billion-dollar corporation who needs to feed your LLM.
We already had 'minor planets' (asteroids). Planets are a continuum, from small rocky or icy ones the size of large moons, to "terrestrial" ones, to ice giants and gas giants.
There is (or was several years ago), one on display at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum in Nebraska. You could walk right up to it. (As is the case with most of their aircraft.) Gloriously strange little…
You're joking right? Look at the "morality" of America's wealthiest and most influental citizens, and how rarely they are ever held accountable for anything. Our nation has been rotting from its head for decades, and…

And how often will those "plausible looking commands" create obvious or subtle problems that cost far more than 30 minutes?
>it's not as if they have done nothing that benefits society, that we all use daily, forgetting how much of it would not be possible without the contributions and innovation from these companies. Perhaps I'm parsing…
One in over a decade, for $23 billion. (And it's arguablely a failure, as the Senate is still earthbound, and likely to remain so for the forseeable future.;))
The author thinks that Helsing & company killed Dracula... and that is certainly the narrator's desperate belief. But as Fred Saberhagen pointed out in his more modern telling of the tale, Van Helsing himself maintains…
That last part sounds like the Orz from Star Control II. Almost sensical, in a vaguely creepy way. Like an uncanny valley for langauge.
I'm having trouble seeing AI as anything more than the next bitcoin - frightening because of the people who are adamant it will do things it really can't. In particular, the hallucination glitch seems impossisble to…
I'm going to repeat a comment I made a few weeks ago: George Dyson has what I found to be an enlightening metaphor for how our relationship with information has changed. It is repeated here:…

What is better or worse though - a million 2/10 sites or a hundred million 3/10 sites?
Good question. Seeing this certainly makes me think I need to make politely scraping a few valued sites (mostly forums) for backup as personal reference a higher priority.
I always assume the vast majority of show-related decisions (not just at Amazon, but everywhere) are made by executives who base their decisions on C-suite politics.
I was following various live coverage (just as an interested observer) and it sounded like there were orientation issues with the Peregrine lander after separation. It seems possible tgat it could have used so much fuel…
