Reminds me of the Rebecca Zahau death in San Diego: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Rebecca_Zahau She tied her own hands behind her back and hung herself from the interior balcony. Ruled a suicide. In the US, mo

The whole article seems like typical apologism to me. If you look at that graph showing thee difference in price for various components, the difference in "distribution" and "body and chassis" (in absolute dollars) is gr

I kept bees for about 15 years. Personally, I see 0 reasosn to have any kind of "award" anyway. This is a purely subjective process. Different people like different things. Honey is as varied as the forage that it's produced

This assumes glutinous consumption has no consequence outside of whether or not it bothers _you_. All of the 1st world massively overconsumes. The most wealthy are the most egregious. This has consequences outside of jealousy. Although for

Let's understand the underlying economics: Do they want to make more money, or less money? hmm... The answer to why it's so expensive (applies to pretty much everything, not just printer ink) is: Because it can be. Price and cost

Just to add a current link to this conversation: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/consciousness-mig... An article suggesting that consciousness is embodied in the active fields, not the synapses themselves.

I agree completely. This is unsubstantiated hype. Transferring our consciousness into "the net", or some other fuzzy concepts are so far removed from reality as to be complete fiction. This includes freezing our brains and reanima

This seems as expected to me. The LLM's statistically average everything they've trained on. I would expect them to do well at any kind of fuzzy emo sort of task, as well as (at almost the other end of the spectrum) in identifying

The article doesn't mention fussion, but to me this concept (along with electric storage everywhere) makes much much more sense than any form of nuclear in terms of providing for the future.

ck2 can you say exactly which js noscript is blocking? I block all js and I'm only seeing the blue butterfly, no text. In the twitverse, I could at least read the post with js disabled, but I'm not getting there on bluesky...

The article is mostly focused on race tracks, and especially drag racing. But to me "hot rodding" explicitly means street racing. And in street racing, and driving fast responsive cars in general, electric is the future. I just re

Actually, it is available 24/7. Now, wouldn't be awesome if there was a global power grid that could provide power anywhere on the planet? (still cheaper than fusion) No need to cover all of Michigan, the area available on flat ro

The title of the article is of significant interest, however the article text never tries to assess a price, it just spends a few paragraphs on a goofy analogy trying to describe what the pricing would involve. Potentially great subject, pr

Was a study really necessary for this? Do "AI" fanbois really think LLMs work like a biological brain? This only reinforces the old maxim: Artificial intelligence will never be a match for natural stupidity

Personally, I don't see why anyone uses milk in any form, raw or otherwise. After being raised to think it was somehow not just OK, but almost mandatory to consume, I stopped all milk consumption, and almost all cheese and other dairy

This almost seems more like an OS than a desktop. (microservices, messaging) I guess my opinion is biased given my longterm use of "window managers", specifically fluxbox. Maybe the features of this are more in line with the devel
