   Zero accountability, complete lack of responsibility, and a total absence of sufficient security in far too many instances. Something like this has been long long overdue.

   It seems that a primary supporter of the White Feather movement was a key member of the _anti_suffrage movement: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Augusta_Ward So, I am interested what sort of overlap with the Suffr

   It's possible that by "(modern)" the author means hydrogen bombs which are 3 magnitudes more powerful than the fission devices used in WW2.

   I would like to understand the significance of each bullet point under "Specific features of Mēris botnet".

   I understand the purpose of a botnet. I was asking for an explanation of the technical details of this apparent advancement. But apparently snide comments purposely devoid of any detail is what I'm getting here now. Cheers

   One could surmise as much, but thanks. I'm also looking for some of the 'why' perhaps moreso than the 'what'.

    Never underestimate the efficacy of light to moderate physical activity in synthesizing information without necessarily directly thinking about the topic at hand. We enter a different thinking mode, termed "diffuse", where the rel

    Fantastic news for developing nations and remote places in developed countries. Are there any existing efficacy studies yet? Didn't see any statistics in the article.

    Honestly it is! Proud to have contributed to it! OpenCAPI is the way to go forward for high-throughput and decreased connector count for memory.

    I'm in NYC. Besides walking my dog briefly in the heavy rain twice I wasn't even aware of Ida until the clear morning after someone showed me flooded subway photos looking like from the end of MGS2. I'm not sure it was commun

    I think that to a certain extent they recognize the cub-like behavior of human babies and act accordingly.

    My reticence comes from not being fully confident in our ability to regulate technologies with an essentially luddite governmental body when it comes to tech they do not wish to fully understand. Perhaps if we change how they learn about ne

    I see your point and agree that it would be extraneous to model awareness for a biomachine whose purpose is efficiency. But what of the inevitable research that will expressly attempt to create AGI using said unaware computation paste?

    I think we will have to navigate similar ethical straits in the development of both organic and inorganic sentience.

    Surely you recognize the plethora of ethical concerns behind this? Certainly there is much to be learned in terms of energy efficiency of computation but I'm undecided as to whether we should go down this path. If we do, I believe it s

    In 20 years the cost of PV installations has decreased a magnitude. Lithium battery energy density has increased a magnitude while prices have fallen a magnitude. Maybe it's time to shift expectations as to what solar can achieve when
