The Catholic Church was funding a lot of research for a long time. E.g the Elon Musk of his time, Galileo, was famously sponsored by it and when asked to contrast his theories against the established view, sperged out so hard against the pe

Or at least never been on the receiving end of an oppressive regieme. Look at e.g. Germany. Plenty of ex-SED members are happy the relive the past.

Dont mistake malice for incompetence. Friendly reminder he EXPLICITLY ran on protecting debt-limits in the German constitution, got elected on those promises and then changed course literally on day 1 after being elected.

I'm honestly surprised this issue in general didn't cause nearly every company to immediately ban all AI. Why do these companies put so much effort into fighting right to repair to avoid IP leaks any halfway serious company could

I'd be very interested in more info, but am going to doubt this for now. Usually just the intra-day deformations of the terrain between the towers through hydrological activity should far exceed what GNSS can achieve. It is just VERY V

As another EU citizen I'm strongly against it. There is a reason one of the 5Ds of the Potsdam Conference was "Decentralization". This is just way too close to the nationalist-wing ideology of the 2nd International. Combine t

It also applied to other things existing at that time, like warships, canister shot in cannons or machine guns.

I don't even think it'd be this direct except maybe in the begining. You already can monitor things like heart rate via motion amplification and track how and when they go where. And probably many other minor factors I can't

Why shouldn't AI be able to sufficiently model all of this in the not far future? Why shouldn't have it have sufficient access to new data and sensors to be able to collect information on its own, or at least the system that feeds

I'm in no way an expert, but IMO there is a major misconception in the free-ish software community that profit should be at most secondary to offering a fair and as good as sustainably possible product. I strongly disagree with this. I

What is the point of telemetry if your IDE launching in under 10s is considered the pinnacle of optimization? That's like 100B+ instructions on a single core of your average superscalar CPU. I can't wait for maps loading times bei

IMO too many people come to the conclusion that Qualcomm will in some way screw up the Arduino takeover at the expense of the community. And I think these people are right, but that is not necessary a bad thing. There is just about no reaso

Regarding NixOS, I'm mostly afraid of them going on a user purge after their developer purge. You just never know who this group of people will come after next, especially after they started defining "Fascism" as "anyone

Discouraging higher education, IMO, isn't a bad thing. Academia is too much of a walled garden that is too easy to enter. This resulted in higher ed becoming a defacto requirement for many professions that could have been open to profe

Unless you mow your grass too low. Always assume the old rule of "your grass reaches just as far underground as it reaches up in the air" still holds. Also if you mow your grass drastically shorter or you let it grow for a long ti

You can also use just heat. Like a long propane torch or one of the newer electric infrared ones. It doesn't need a lot of heat, a short burn (like a bit less than a second) is perfectly sufficient to make them wilt within a few days.

Don't spray herbicides everywhere (unless you're certain that's what you want or need). Instead, just spray each weed a little bit, right above where the leaves connect to the stem.

IMO the goal is a bit different. It'd be just way too much data to track people successfully, even with on-device filtering, especially because everyone with ill intentions would just use non-backdoored devices for their malicious acti

Require all people who received higher education to work for their country first for 15 to 20 years. There's no point in being able to buy an outrageously fancy toilet with remittances if there's no sewer to hook it up to.

IMO it's exactly the right layer, just like for ECC memory. There's a lot of potential for errors when the storage controller processes and turns the data into analog magic to transmit it. In practice, this is a solved problem, bu

You can still do this for boot code if the error isn't significant enough to make all of the boot fail. The "fixing it by plugging it in somewhere else" could then also be simple enough to the point of being fully automated.

Kind of my fault, I specifically thought only about the powerplant + fuel part. Of course nuclear is much more complex as a whole, because it comes with at least two, sometimes three different business sections attached by default: Producti

The only reason nuclear is more expensive than any alternative are absurd regulations, reporting duties, the practice of financing these projects on borrowed money with high interests and that many of the companies running these projects ar

The rules were updated on Oct6 to allow media outlets to report using any information even if classified and unapproved for release, as long as they didn't solicit it or were given it with the premise that it won't be released. So

There is an updated draft of the rules from october 6th that rectifies this and some other prior issues. I'm honestly not sure which rules the media outlets actually want changed.
