>mainline of the genetic stream This is a tricky concept. Could it be said over 50,000 years ago that Homo Sapiens' ancestors were the mainline? I wouldn't retroactively call it that because it presumes that it was clear at the

What's interesting about coding is how self-incriminating it can be. Unless you are being sly (which apparently was not the case), you are writing down your whole intent.

1% error would arguably be scarier for that 1%, just pointing it out. I hope this tech evolves along some strong regulations on how they are used as evidence.

Personally, I'm wary of policemen and politicians trying to grasp probability. The general public's perception of the subject is not mature enough, and all these high tech sci-fi stuff is being introduced to a society were phishin

Let's agree on that just for the sake of argument. Systems change, but once settled facial recognition will not go away. You might find yourself engulfed in hell before you know it.

I'm far more worried about what happens when the next tsunami strikes. Getting rid of tons of contaminated water sounds important, or the sea will come and take it in one go.

Those are able to feed off radiation, but they don't shield other beings from it. It's not like oil-eating bacteria.

And the reason why the dotcom timing was off was because the internet hadn't already permeated everyday life. That's when the network effect paid off and consolidation merged startups into giants. Will the same happen to AI? Uses

Yes, it's tiresome. Not refering to this one in particular, but many internet champions of truth aggrandize their Goliath to post shitty myth busting articles. In a recent post I chose to say "mistaken belief" to avoid soundi

On top of everything else commented, there's the matter of how delicate you need to be about it. I do hope no one ever tries to down a satellite with a railgun, as debris might create a runaway effect that brings about a dark night. Us

Speaking from ignorance, I would expect that official research would encompass military grade material science, to which amateurs don't have access realistically.

It's going to be interesting to see non-state actors get their hands on a railgun. Possibly handed by a state actor, of course.

I'm much more worried about ideological persecution than targeted advertising. It's very easy to think you are doing the right thing, everyone thinks that.

Turned out it was a mistaken belief. Basically, thickness invariance in medieval glass had to do with the manufacturing process, and the viscosity of glass is not observable in a human timeline. https://ceramics.org/ceramic-

It is, in the sense that I wouldn't expect it to happen, at least to me. But it's not unrealistic that some CEO would actually listen to you about the matter and put his foot down to make it happen. These are not matters difficult

Maybe not directly scamming exploiting this mechanism, but it might destroy the healthy habit of URL checking and being aware of what is going on. Instead people are given a false "seamless" experience. In the future similar white

The dreadful consequence of finding life on Mars would be that we could never go back to seeing Mars as just another innocent rock floating around the neighbourhood. It would forever become a harbinger, reminder that life can come and go on
