How is this under the FCC’s authority?

Even if they aren’t, it’s best to assume they are and stay the fuck away. Hydrazine is nasty

Ok, solve space is cool. But let me know when it’s ready to tackle more than a “hello world” level design problem.

To bluntly put it in a nutshell, and state the obvious:

If you don’t understand the problem you can’t be sure that the computer does.

God forbid we invest in the future. Investors need those profits now!

That heat goes out into the world, it doesn’t just disappear

Sure the sun is a proximal cause…

But are you really going to tell me that you me that tho evidence that temperatures are getting warmer is bunk? For starters check out the top diagram here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#

Would you argue against the physics of greenhouse gases? https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-pinpoint-the-quant...

Are you too young to have noticed climate changes over time in your life?

Edit: And the accumulation of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_the_atmosphe...

I draw a lot to figure out engineering details. I used to make beautiful drawings in diagramming software (draw.io and the lil). But man, it took a lot of time. Now I scribble on printer paper unless it’s something I plan to share.

A small price to pay to increase the standing of a select few. /s

To be clear I don’t see gambling to increase one’s wealth as a vision. That’s playing a game.

Vision is seeing a change that could be made. “I could be richer” is about as banal as a vision could get.

This is an insane take. Of course there are other areas that are growing or could grow if there was investment.

The problem is an absolute lack of vision on the part of those holding the capital.

Meeting the challenges of climate change could hold huge opportunities. Look at China’s massive expansion in renewables, look at the expansion of renewables in the US despite political headwinds.

Have some imagination, break out of your echo chamber. AI ain’t the only game to be played.

The skepticism is from people who are making money emitting CO2 and don’t want to stop making money in the same old way. It is well documented that oil companies have been sewing skepticism for decades, go figure.

A desperate bid to get around data center bans: disguise them as homeless encampments

Perhaps they’re afraid announcement would trigger divestment

Sewing machines are a great example. Perfected mechanically, now available with screens. The mechanical part can easily outlive the electronics.

Electronics are consumables / disposables unfortunately. Tho we could make them much more reliable if we cared to.

I thought the point of driverless cars is that they are supposed to be better than humans.

This should be excepted fork that goal. If this is accepted, what would be the next thing to be deemed unrealistic?

A quality bike can last a really long time.

Just pick up your instrument and make some noise. DAWs are time sinks.

Music is about the “feel” first and foremost. Playing music on a physical instrument or singing is a feel thing.

DAWs are tools for polishing what was created with feeling into something “produced”. If that’s what you want to end up with, that’s ok. Just be clear with yourself on which you’re trying to do.

What a bunch of fluff.

The problem is that prediction markets are excellent vehicles for corruption as demonstrated by the article discussed here.

You're arguing that corruption is a good thing.

Insider trading is unethical, and has long been recognized as such. It is outrageous for you to suggest that it is a good thing.

It is not a free market if there is insider trading. If insiders are trading other market participants are by definition getting screwed by what was advertised as a fair, impartial system.

You certainly wouldn't participate in a market where you did not think you had fair odds. Tho maybe you're inclined towards the rigging side of things.

Finally, since you're trying to work the information angle, would you care to share any legitimately meaninful information you've gained from prediction markets?

I would love it if real people did that, and then acted on what they found with moral integrity.

It's not about it being occupied, it is about what is happening inside.

“Got off” would be more appropriate

How is searching encrypted data not going to be used for exfiltration? What a terrible idea.

I’m sure you can name benign useful things you could use it for. But it seems to me you’re blatantly overlooking the obvious flaw.

There is no getting around doing search on encrypted data reducing the level of secrecy. To have an even minutely useful search result, some information within the searched corpus must be exposed.

Waste… I can’t stop thinking about the waste of human talent and potential. The waste of resources to run AI data centers. The waste of the now old school CS ethos. Yea, wasteland checks out.

Fish are pretty sensitive to temperature. It may seem like a river is a great heatsink, but it isn’t without side effects.

Ok, great movie. But man, I hate that this is what everyone thinks about when they think of nihilism.

It is very challenging to truly believe in nothing. I think it is much more realistic to see nihilism as a label applied to others’ belief systems that we find entirely void of valid belief.

Organizations described as Nihilistic Violent Extremists do have beliefs that motivate them, they are just vacuous beliefs in the eyes of the vast majority of human beings.

However if you can show me someone who can convincingly claim to be that they really are a nihilist I would be curious to see it.

While we’re at it let’s get rid of wire transfers, and transactions by bank id / account number. Something more fool proof and transparent is far overdue.

The social constructs were the entire point. The spacey stuff was just a vehicle to get a more relatable protagonist into the story.
