Between 5-7, depending on how you count. Although that type of whataboutism is entirely irrelevant to a space arms race.

What a weird comment. I never claimed the USA doesn't have similar things. It's an arms race. https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4198/1

That depends what you mean by "open ocean"? Vessels near ports or in defined traffic lanes frequently maneuver to avoid collisions as per the rules of the road. Outside territorial waters it's less common but still happens oc

Ya, that's a hilarious comment from the Chinese after they have literally tested their own anti-satellite weapons. But then their diplomats have never been short of chutzpah. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/china

I don't know why people keep posting that silly quote. Outside of fantasy novels, in the real world the most expensive footwear is often the least durable, and you can get decent boots at Walmart for <$50 on clearance sales.

Exactly. The whole notion of "quality" is so subjective that it never was and never can be a norm .

That doesn't make any sense. The most expensive cars are also the least reliable. Rich people have multiple cars so when the Bentley has an electrical glitch they just drive the Porsche.

Hey now, you're going to kill the whole fitness tracker industry if you let people in on those secrets.

The "embodied" part isn't going to be solved in 4 years. Robots break down constantly. You guys making these ridiculous predictions have obviously never worked in a factory or something. Heck, I've gone through a bunch o

That is not an actual problem that needs to be fixed.

Toys like HuggingFace get hacked all the time. So what. In the long run AI automated security scans and penetration testing will be a tremendous aid in detecting and repairing vulnerabilities in systems that actually matter.

OK, I've listened to the warnings and they still sound like the usual nonsense by out-of-touch techies who spend too much time lost in apocalyptic sci-fi fantasies. In the real world it's still hard to move around physical atoms o

If you define a market narrowly enough then pretty much any company has a "firm grip" on some market. That doesn't mean much in terms of overall market dynamics or broader power. My local neighborhood taqueria has a firm gr

You assume incorrectly. I flagged your comment for breaking site guidelines, not downvoted. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with how the site works but it's not possible to downvote a reply to one's own comment. The button isn&#x

Those are silly questions entirely irrelevant to the point above.

Life is hopeless, be more cynical, failure is inevitable, there's no point in trying, etc etc. Yawn.

X and Starlink don't even remotely have a "firm grip" over the social media or Internet access markets. They have many active competitors.

Embrace the pain. It's a good stimulus to avoid stagnation and improve your situation.

Russia can use fake accounts and VPNs to run their agents in data centers in neutral countries.

Athletic shoes are still popular for streetwear. But it's a fickle market where style trends count for a lot more than performance.

But what if I want certain other humans to get killed?

Nope. Even if China agrees they'll hide their real activities. You're so naive.

What a naive, ignorant comment. China is catching up fast on GPU fabrication. They're still a generation or two behind but they can just throw more hardware and electricity at the problem. This is not something that we could ever monit

You shouldn't be down voted, AI native companies have already moved up to the next level beyond writing individual PRs.

China might pretend to coordinate in public but you can assume their secret research labs are racing full speed ahead.

Yikes. Hopefully you never gain any power or influence. The last thing we need is more economic central planning. I sincerely hope that you fail.

At least in urban areas I've seen it's almost always better to define the sidewalks separately. The routing for pedestrians is often significantly different than for vehicles. This matters when the data is fed into Strava or Garmi

by nradov 1mo ago
There are much easier ways to identify the approximate neighborhood where most people live.

by nradov 1mo ago
In a lot of areas the sidewalks and crosswalks aren't mapped even though they show up clearly on overhead imagery. I try to fill them in when I can, although this should probably be an AI task now.

Ugh. Writing with pens has always been so uncomfortable for me. (Yes, I've tried good quality pens and different writing techniques.) Typing on a keyboard is so much faster and easier.
