How many satellites would it take burning up in the atmosphere to raise the aluminum content of the atmosphere by just 1 part per billion (not million)? Each satellite is 300kg, it would take 57 MILLION satellites. The cost to do that at cu

Isn’t this basically the situation in Europe? It seems like that just supercharges brain drain by incentivizing all the smartest and richest people to just move away to a place with lower taxes and less bureaucracy.

It's extremely difficult, and as I said it will be easily abused by any government which is looking to manufacture consent among its population. One person's definition of harm is completely different than another person's. &

This is the same concept as "separating art from the artist". i.e. can you appreciate the creation without associating it with the personal foibles of the creator? If you went around scrutinizing the personal failings of every sin

I don't think this is a straw man, a huge number of people in my life (non CS people) think AI is a dead-end, that it's just a stochastic parrot, that it'll never be able to do many things that humans can do. I have had many

I think this is a little bit oversimplified and I don't know that it's even true at all. It's basically the opposite story of what's told by "Bowling Alone". That book was written in the year 2000, when the aut
