Yodkowsky shouldn’t be taken seriously. Especially after him saying that any person or country working on banned AI research should have their data centers destroyed via an airstrike.

Which would then require Israel to use missiles. Which would be more complicated. Both logistically and politically. Also, it would be like playing whack-a-mole and risk of lot more collateral damage. Not to mention expensive. At least wi

I don’t know much about RTOS. But am aware that JPL uses VxWorks for planetary rovers and orbiters. So wondering if JPL or other entities will replace VxWorks with a Linux RTOS implementation at some point.

Certainly lot cheaper than a missile or two.

Gary Oldman is currently starring in this show on AppleTV called Slow Horses. Amazing actor.

Depends on where you live in the U.S. On the west coast, you’ll definitely pay 2x the national average. I live in the south-eastern part of the U.S and electricity is quite a bit cheaper at 12 cents/kwh. But even here it varies by regi

Yeah. The PRC has this process down. None of the long term side effects of colonialism, but the benefits of immediate access to resources.

Armstrong was also quite good at handling the Lunar Module Research Vehicle. A flying machine that was notoriously difficult to fly. Even though he had a close call when he had to eject out it during one training flight. https:/&#x2F

I've known about pigeons being used for communications and even bottle-nose dolphins being used for clearing mines in WW2. But I'm just curious if they've ever attempted to use crows for reconnaissance or early warning syste

I’m surprised no one has attempted to train crows for use in asymmetrical warfare. At least before the advent of cheap drones.

It doesn't work well with TSA. It's hit or miss. At Hartsfield at least, half the times the reader comes back with an error. So the TSA person will ask me to show my physical ID. Initially I thought it was my phone, which is an ol

Down here in Georgia we got this option couple of years ago. It seems that only place its valid is at TSA checkpoints. But its still doesn't work well at TSA checkpoints. I've made several flights this year and on half of them,

Yeah, it has been pretty bad in win11. But at least you can disable the bing search. (For now)

Everything hooked into windows powertoys makes it even better. You can then simply search from the launcher bar.

Why would lowering to 16 from 18 make a difference? Plenty of data out there shows that age demographic is the least likely to show up on election day and vote.

Usually someone allowed to defect has some value in terms of information they can provide. North Korea while a threat, isn’t exactly a near peer competitor. Especially in defense capabilities.

Sandpaper also come in different roughness. So in this case maybe a 300-400 grit sandpaper?

etravelsim is where I got a 4gb esim for traveling in a few Mediterranean countries recently. Worked great and was cheap. Only issue I had was apps that were dependent on a phone # like WhatsApp acted a bit weird. But other than that ever

Even then they don't really examine the card. Most of the time I just flash my card for a brief second while I'm walking and the person at the door just nods and moves onto the next person behind me.

by nirav72 2y ago
Unless I read it wrong - it seems that the change is that instead of a person waving you into the store when you show the card, they'll require scanning the card. Not sure how that will stop anyone from sharing their card with a non-m

For low usage like on a NAS ,they are fine for me because they usually last me about 5 years. Maybe more if I don’t replace them for larger versions. They’re about $50 cheaper than other better performing models. They’ve also outlasted eve

I was looking at TubeArchivist. But didn’t like that it required 3 separate containers. Then I found Pinchflat on the selfhosted sub. It works as a single container and was easy deployment. Has been working well. https://github.
