What's the capacity of the battery on the Bye aircraft? The company website did not have specifications. In any case it's amazing how quickly this has progressed.

Absolutely agree - despite all of the advances in "AI" (quotes used deliberately), I simply don't see fully automated moderation happening any time in the near future.

I'm reminded of this great quote from "Soul of a new machine": He went away from the basement of Building 14 that day, and left this note in his cubicle, on top of his computer terminal: "I'm going to a commune in

I have traveled New York to Seattle by Amtrak in 2016 and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Sleeper class is not cheap in peak season, but its well worth the cost at least once.

Permaculture is going to become a very important subject for study. I have recently gotten interested in the subject and the results have been amazing even in very unpromising conditions. Geoff Lawtons work in Jordan is inspiring: https:&#

Exactly the same - no matter how much I have on my mind, I can usually get to sleep very quickly listening to audiobooks. It has to be a book that is a somewhat interesting but not too absorbing. And as you say, it has to be an audio book y

Indeed, every university has a "development" office precisely to collect "bribes" openly.

At the moment, these are just text files and I keep all of the facts that I need to know in them. The "semantic" file is organized by topic and the "episodic" file is like a diary. As I said, this is very low tech but

I spent a lot of the early 80s writing Prolog, first on DEC-10 Prolog and then on Quintus Prolog. Too bad this great document was not available back then!

Inspired by the work of the famous psychologist Endel Tulving ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endel_Tulving ), I have come up with a simple technique that works for me. I simply keep two text files called "Episodic&

That _is_ very generous but usually when people buy cars, they need to sell their old car, especially true now that people are rolling over loans from old cars into new cars. So lets suppose, you sold or traded in your old car and then boug

It's not bad except that video playback in the browser is not really up to the mark. Wouldn't a Chrome book be a cheaper and better solution for people who need to a general web browsing system?

Unless you have a need for using the GPIO pins or the camera interface, I really don't see a compelling use case for SBCs in general. I am happily using a network of Raspberry Pis to control my model railroad and I have track sensors

The presentation you linked to by Sarah Roberts was very interesting to say the least. Highly recommended. She adds a lot of information about the condition of content moderators in other countries.

I read this book when I was in college and it had a profound impact on me - it was one of the primary motivators for me to get into computer science. Then when I came to the US for grad school in the mid 1980s, I got a programming job on ca
