An actuall global event that killed hundreds of millions of individuals is a very different thing than what Musk is doing, without any such precipitation... I do not agree that firing should have been on the table, however this is not an Ap

I'm not sure the old search engines are any good anymore, though, so we don't really care... That's kind of the point. AI has just been more terrible news after terrible news. It is NOT a good thing. Unless you know, you like

Your average person will be blind sighted either way, at least one way they have a much better set of tools to help them out, once they are blind sighted.

1) If possible, don't run shell scripts with Python. Evaluate why you are trying to do that and don't. 2) Python has a bunch of infrastructure compared to shell, you can use it. Shell scripts don't. 3) Apply the same you used

Some quick research suggest, though, that the production of biodiesel is far more intensive (algae/oil farms are needed, then a process of procurement, production), and not without its own environmental concerns.

True, although this is a Red Herring of an argument. Ammonia batteries does not mean "Ammonia Cars", I never said it did nor meant it should. They are, however, excellent in areas that likely already required a hazmat suit (genera

I think the concern here is somewhat misplaced...ammonia powered passenger vehicles are probably a bad idea. But there's no reason that needs to be true for e.g. automated shipping industries. The danger to the water seems relatively l

Direct solar energy output, perhaps. Seems potentially simple to boil it off with heat.

Sibling commenters mention industrial uses, sustainability means far more than just cars or electricity, part of why the focus on electric/cars is so short-sighted (never mind the issues electricity distribution brings to the table)...

The real issue are the road rage drivers who can't wait a minute and start honking behind you. We all get it, we are all late now and then, but unless you are literally trying to catch a plane or a boat, in all likelihood you can sit y

This is difficult, because the mess that is mobile(?) (Android?) development could be better in general, but that also sounds like your software just is poorly designed... When it's a "works for me" on one platform but falls

Again, this sort of mind-rot is the worst... What happens when your general approach (ignore the margins) means the "bona fide charitable causes" can't operate because they all require top-of-the-line equipment to even be fun

This is still not helped by other input methods, stenography helps with the navigation too... Ctrl clicking though symbols is all well and good but you often want or need to do much more complicated things than that. So, yes, input speed is

As I said in another comment, I think the part of visual languages their devs are blind to (pun intended) are the input method(s). We can all agree that keyboards are a) large b) necessitate being able to type (need hands) but we don't

It's like you have never watched a Terminator movie. It doesn't matter if you are bad at using the tool if the AGI can just effectively use it for you . From there it's a simple leap to the AGI deciding to eliminate this hum

I think the converse(?) to this though is that the words public static are inconsequential. Sure, if you are incapable of learning what a couple adjectives mean you won't go far, but that holds for much more than software. Rather it&#x

Agreed. I still feel like the author is missing the forest for the trees. Bash is not great to write e.g. a red black tree in or do complex image processing, but you don't have to maintain a Java install, download libraries, or setup a

I think you'll find upon inspection the hard sciences are based on consensus reached and not overturned for centuries, not generations. If you were arguing with me in the 11th century perhaps you'd have a valid concern, at the poi

Filter bubbles are real. If you spend your time watching (low quality) videos with a bent (anti-feminist/transgender, e.g.) you begin to believe that is the majority discourse. Its similar to homophobia - a small (tiny) portion of the
