Do you have sources for any of these points, or are they all personal opinion?

She doesn't mention what shifts she's working. Waffle House is open 24/7 in many locations. Given this is a "side gig" for her, there's a good chance she's working slow shifts.

Is it really a "treehouse" if it has nothing to do with a tree? I would call this an awesome rocket playset, and really wish I had something half this fun and sophisticated when I was a kid. I think the shaker/rumbler synced

My brother is in HVAC, so my perspective on this is biased, but in general there's a blue collar shortage because the job still sucks. First, you have pretty high barriers to entry in the form of apprenticeships and per-state licensing

Thank you for providing links! The first one contains a lot of the same doubts I have and points out that this is an exploratory project explicitly because the ROI is unclear. The second one is a bit strange. Here’s the actual paper [1]. An

The fact you got downvoted for saying this shows how little critical thinking is going on around here. If people think this is a good idea, show us the numbers: how much would this cost including running all the cabling, building substation

1) where can I use it? Compare this to what’s come out of OpenAI in the last two years. It’s like science fair vs. a company making actual tools. 2) how is it helping Alphabet’s bottom line? I haven’t seen it helping here either.

I don't think you would need to assemble anything in space. Starship's planned LEO payload is about a third of the entire mass of the Ariane 5 rocket that launched Juice. If you have that kind of mass budget at orbit , your delta

This is a problem of broken economic models that assume infinite population growth. Not a problem of “societies” or of “survival”. Economics will need to change and hopefully we will reach a global population level that is more sustainable.

I agree with the parent comment. The quality of output images from MJ v5 is vastly better than anything I’ve been able to get out of SD regardless of which tuning model I’ve tried. SD’s underlying model on top of which everything is built j

This is a pretty good summary of the complexity of the issue legally (worth reading the whole thing). The plaintiffs pretty clearly either don’t know how ML works or are deliberately misconstruing the facts. But the real question is how a j

I feel like you’re romanticizing what actually happened. Just look at makerbot, which was a very strong force in the early development of consumer 3D printing. Damn near all their hardware and even their file formats are proprietary.

Up to 25% improvement compared to conventional rocket engines according to the Wikipedia page. I haven’t found an actual ISP measurement for this NASA engine, though.

You make a good point, but I think there's a qualifier that convergence in this case is convergence to mass-market appeal. Everything looks the same because that's the aesthetic that most appeals to ~75% of the population. What&#x

Going to have to disagree with you. I tried Hololens 2 extensively and found it pretty bad. Terrible UI/UX, crappy field of view, muted colors, not-great resolution, and just not all that more useful than a VR headset with decent pass-

Nope. Even if you pass the criteria, it's still a waitlist. <You’ll receive another email when it’s your turn to test Bard.> I'll update if they actually grant access today.
