Ot to rain on your parade. But I made videos, songs and pictures, wrote stories back in ca. 2006 when I was 16 and read my first AI book. Without AI. I see AI as a useful tool, but doing art with it is extremely bland compared to the real t

Your comment got downvoted, because on this site it is frowned upon to write lazy, confrontative and uninformative comments. If you don't have an argument that furthers the discussion consider not writing instead. Simple systems have t

It might be seen as this ideologic thing, but I don't think it is to the degree many people believe. I have lived in Iceland. Most Icelanders are pretty open-minded and an astounding amount of them have lived abroad for at least a year

Situations change, asking the same question a few years later is good, not bad. Especially since getting into the EU isn't BAM you're in , but a lengthy process with many exits along the route. I am convinced if a country doesn&#

Well, depends. Maybe it can go up to 900mph¹? ¹ drivers are responsible to get the car into a low earth orbit themselves and need to be familiar with the orbital maneuvers needed to accelerate the car to 900mph

Good thing they never claimed to be writing in that style then. Not sure what you're working yourself up over here. Authors are allowed to write about a method of writing without having to apply it themselves.

Really? I know people in the hardware space for whom the tariffs have been an unmitigated disaster. They had to go through a lot to not lose their customer base outside the US. I have seen many US-people with businesses swearing about that

Yes, it should be illegal. The default expectation when you buy a device should be that something as simple as a power supply can be replaced. I could agree with you if products that fail with the regulation have to put these shortcomings f

It is probably better to just thermodynamically ballpark the whole thing. How much energy goes in? Some percentage of that is gonna need to be radiated out either directly as IR radiation or by pushing a heated medium out (water, air). So

Turns out, it is hard to understand a potential future problem if your salary or comfort in the present depends on you not understanding it. Climate change is pretty much the same.

Ah yeah, the myth that a society can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Do you really belive we can't both address the root causes and install AC? Which other things do you believe a society can't do at the same time?

No. The societal impact of crypto currencies is net-negative. I know the original idea. In 2009 I bought coffee using Bitcoin. I had to wait 30 minutes till it went through despite using a fee that back then mirrored what PayPal would take.

Sure. But you have to weigh any application relative to (1) how useful it is and (2) how easy it would be to rely on a carbon-neutral alternative. And I would argue the usefulness of bitcoin is negative from the viewpoint of a free society.
