Well, they tried to put a government sponsored moat in the way of other people building AI companies that would be competing with them. Thankfully, they mostly seem to have whiffed the ball on that one. This plan of theirs to monetize the c

I think I’ve been self “medicating” this way for at least 30 years.

You might want to try setting it up as a virtual co-working site for demo purposes. Set up little virtual offices for people working in various kinds of projects, with the acknowledgment that they can be talked to if they put up a little gr

My favorite head slapping dumb part about Microsoft’s Silica is the goofy little robots that are the only means to find unlabeled, unadorned identical glass slabs. No human readable filing system, no cartridge to protect the 7TB slab from

Right, they say almost exactly what I said above. "MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting some of the Company’s systems. Promptly after detecting the issue, we quickly began an investigation with assistance fro

Yes, I think that MGM has actively shut everything down, rather than some massive hack that has effected all these separate systems. Best guess is that with the F1 races coming soon with what is expected to be the largest cashflow through V

I was disturbed to hear from people first hand in Vegas saying it was making the ATMs inoperable. No details on how inoperable, like if it is just certain banking features or everything. The ATMs should not be effected in the same kind of

Large Language Models are not Large Knowledge Models. The only ‘knowledge’ that can be expected of LLMs is that which has been repeated over and over on thousands of online documents. It is AT BEST a side effect of learning the likely form

None of the Apple apps they showed for the VisionPro had any substantial photogrammetry mapping. They didn’t paste virtual TVs to the walls, or place furniture into an empty room. All the Apple apps were contained to virtual floating scre

I have used a LOT of custom keyboards, looking at an Ergodex DX1 on my shelf now. I wish this is something I could be confident in. but, them not treating the screen as a display I think significantly limits the utility of this. You have t

Autodesk has been looking for a Product person to lead their implementation team for USD for the past few weeks. Looks like it is solidly on their biz plan for the next few years.

I had a repeated crash of Factorio. It was from one of the 30+ mods I had running and it only crashed after 14+ hours of straight gameplay. I considered the crash a Quality Of Life feature to make me stop playing and get some sleep. With F

I know this seems like ‘If all else fails ‘hit with lunar boot’, but hit the back of your head pretty hard. It’s a weird motion so practice with you hand in front of you. - Hold your right hand in front of you. - Cross your index finger ove

Since I haven’t seen this mentioned. It has been remarkable for a temporary solution to let me sleep when my tinnitus is particularly loud. Basically cover your ears with your palms and snap your index fingers loudly on the back of your sk

I just did a quick look through the doc but it does not appear that they take into account that Dyson shell elements would try to radiate waste heat directionally to the north and south of their orbits as to avoid too much thrust from radia

I like the idea proposed by I think Larry Niven the SF author, that speech started as a way to bypass and augment the corpus callosum so the two hemispheres of the brain could get more in sync, and provide a way of organizing, "do this

It is not direct heavy constant stress that causes the damage to the stem cell, but the heightened reaction in Fight or Flight scenarios. This was all in the study. Being under constant stress, which is measured via cortisol did NOT cause

Not so, from the article "LG 4K UHD TVs w/ webOS 2.0" Which are 4K TVs and likely support the Netflix 4K standard as well.

Super-predator Civilizations solve the significant problem of blaming the silence on a psychological quirk rather than statistics. When you are making assumptions about the millions of civilizations, it is absurd to think they ALL retreated

Two Scifi examples that come to mind are a book, GreenFlies ( http://www.amazon.com/Greenflies-Andrew-Darling-ebook/dp/B00... ) that has a fun example of a super-predator type-3-ish civilization, and the motivations

This may sound silly, but it seems like there could be a MythBusters episode specifically on this to prove or disprove how likely these no-knock raids are needed to prevent an effective coverup of evidence. They could actually make some act

I saw a reference recently that summed up why I dislike The Big Gang Theory: "Nerd Black Face." It is treating the nerds and geeks on the show as unself-aware fools for "real" society to laugh at.
