   I very much appreciate this reply. You basically perfectly elaborated on what I lazily threw out there. With that being said, most of my friends are senior software devs and they think the same thing is bound to happen. We often joke about

   I suppose, if a huge proportion of workers get replaced by AI software, leading to mass unemployment, there will be impetus for governments to step in and force corporations to contribute to some sort of UBI or social wealth fund. If AI gra

   I Agree. I know people on a four-day work week with loss of pay (20%, proportionate to the one less day). They are all happier. It's the "...with no loss of pay..." part of this article which is problematic.

   So let's use cork to plug all containers. We can then worry about microcork instead. I'm pretty sure that would be safer and more sustainable.

   I've no single clue as to the future of image formats. All or them (or almost) have merits and stuff they suck at. I've been building a service which makes no judgement about it but tries to provide all the choices. JXL will be ad

   "which should not exist under leading planet formation theories" Every time I read that something should not exist based on current understanding or theories, especially in the field of astronomy, I cry a bit.

   Incredible work. Short, sweet and simple. I hadn't expected to enjoy this as much as I did. I can't wait to see where it goes.

   I agree. I'm also not sure why this isn't the leading theory of what's causing the gravitational weirdness, yet still manages to evade our detection. (Disclaimer: I know nothing)

    I'm reminded of this wonderful talk from Clara Sousa-Silva[0], a 'quantum astrochemist'. At one point in this fascinating talk, she mentions that aliens would immediately be able to identify Earth as inhabited by life, becaus

    Weirdly enough, my dad spent roughly the same on my college (in Ireland). I had no hopes nor expectations as to how my degree would end up being of benefit. It allowed me to see another part of the world, and "learn how to learn"

    Depends largely on what you need to grow your company, in terms of the supply chain and whatnot. I suppose there are indirect costs as well, in terms of the stuff you need to buy and how those things have been influenced by these stellar ec

    I truly hope that the common theme of the likes of "JWST Just Found Something Which Should Not Exist" etc will not be augmented by stuff like "we used AI(tm) to figure out X, Y, Z". The last thing we need is hallucinatio

    I love you Toto. I hate that my dad bought you and created demand for the breeding of your kind for simple human gratification. May you rest in heaven and I'll see you at some point in the future.

    I'm sorry for your plight and I genuinely hope there will be a much more tenable solution in the near future.

    So it's a trade-off between increased risk of cancer[0] and the consequences of type 1 diabetes? Doesn't sound like a fun trade-off but I don't know anything. [0] https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/cause

    So, banning high-powered chips to China has basically had the effect of turning them into extremophiles. I mean, that seems like a good plan </sarc>. Moreover, it is certainly slowing sales of one of the darling companies of the

    I think you missed my point, or I wasn't clear enough. Your point is exactly the one I was trying to make. I think I must re-examine my articulation.

    +1. I also enjoy the "China be stealin' ur data and personal info" angle. As if the incumbents haven't already done that, and are still doing it, as their core business practices. This whole thing should be an eye-opener

    I recently picked up a NVidia Jetson Orin NX developer kit (16GB, 100 TOPS) and it performs admirably well on inference at <= 40W power draw. Would love to get my hands on one of these things.

    When I looked at the title I imagined it was an AI plugin for idtech 5 for the next Wolfenstein game. Though I suppose the Berlin wall wouldn't have been a thing at all if Wolfenstein's Nazis had made it that far.
