I assumed they would be masers or at least something with high directional gain. Otherwise your zapping a bunch of other stuff. Someone else said it's only a 2km range.

I'd be more concerned about small planes or other drones. But if a little shielding fixes it, then this will quickly be obsolete as it's trivial to dd shielding if you're a malicious actor.

Aside from the potential scale, those arent really new ideas. The scale could actually be a hindrance. Once it's used, it's future utility drops dramatically. Kind of how the intelligence community don't want to burn their ze

I feel like a lot of those other uses are more aligned to the three letter agencies for intelligence and influence if were talking mostly about gen AI. I assume the next best place (excluding munitions and their delivery systems) would be c

Potentially collateral damage too. You zapped some drones 100 yards away, but what about that airplane a couple miles out?

I think I've used more electrical tape covering LEDs than I have for any other purpose.

Wow, not one mention of the real reason sports betting became legal - the tax revenue. "50% of all men below 50 have an online sports betting account" This might be misleading. Many people created accounts to get promotional credi

"As C3P will tell you: CSAM distribution on Tor onion services is not inevitable." Lol, are we using the regular internet as an example of preventing all CSAM? We've known for years that owning enough nodes results in the com

By that measure, all stories are bogus. Even things like how a story is framed (NLP scoring for positive vs negative sentiment) would be a made up part of the story since the evidence and facts reported typically do not provide explicit evi

The story isn't bogus, it's just blown out of proportion. That's unfortunately how most news articles work, especially ones related to crime. The ironic part is that this article is just as much "bogus" with the ass

I think it would have been more interesting if they spent any amount of time exploring the causes. Such as basic life sustaining tasks being easier so there are fewer distractions from trauma. Or feedback mechanisms around effort, success,

Yes, and the article explores none of that. Complaining about stress from rent being high would be much more palatable if they explored those types of things, or simply didn't mention it at all. Instead they focus on the stress being f

This article makes a lot of assumptions or claims with nothing to back them up, mostly the parts about a system built to traumatize, Charlottesville as an example, etc. It seems to be entirely lacking any context of what life was like in pr

In general, I think this would be a great idea. There's little chance of it passing.

That shouldn't be a big deal since they're a finite portion of the market. You should have a robust enough model to handle people leaving, including unavoidable scenarios like retirement and death.

That's not a bad thing. It means you've added one more senior to the societal pool. A lot of the talent problems today are due to companies not wanting to train and focusing on cheap shortcut options like outsourcing or H1B

I find the summaries to be helpful. However, I find some of the detailed points to lack a deep understanding of technical points and their importance.

"making 150k if they'd trade 10k/year to get an additional 10hrs/week of free time back, and I think a LOT would say yes." Excluding childcare, I'm not sure people spend 10 hours per week on domestic tasks. We

There isn't any real gap time. It tends to generate things quickly, then you have to code review it all.

Long and short of it is that the word Pyrex in any form is to be considered a marketing term. If you want borosilicate glass, then you need to to confirm the composition some other way.

"Really does not sound like that from your description. It sounds like coaching a noob, which is a lot of work in itself." And if this is true, you will have to coach AI each time whereas a person should advance over time.

This is mostly just a benefit for mixed teams. If you have entire departments offshore, then you have less cross-zone interaction.

"The hollowing out of the middle class in the US isn't because of immigrants, it's because of a sustained campaign by capital to reduce the power of labor over the last 50-odd years and to concentrate wealth as best they can.

Just to add, we are also offshoring 300k jobs every year. This makes the impact even larger.

"it's equally easy to point to income inequality for this." Of course - they're connected. Taking advantage of labor is a big part of income inequality, including the way H1B is used/abused.

"...to expand their Indian offices." Was there any reason for them not to? It's cheaper than H1B anyways.

The median is actually $133k per the BLS. The upperbound for middle class pay is over $100k in all states, approaching $200k in a couple.
