If you see the VOA broadcast sites like NE Thailand, with large numbers of towers, including receivers, redundant power transformers, well maintained dead straight roads you could land an aircraft on, on the Laos border in the middle of now

The EU could step in for the browser, that bit of common, required infrastructure needed to provide modern government services. If that was the task given, EU bureaucrats could be the best choice for managing it. Any attempt to step beyond

Tesla sell cars in the luxury car bracket in Australia. BYD and MG in the last few years started selling cheaper cars, and now dominate the market. In the last few months several manufacturers have dropped prices and released cheaper models

I imagine training time would be an issue with biological computers. Waiting for chemicals means a very low clock speed. And you can't run a 100 training jobs in parallel and merge them.

It would not be odd. Outrage is emotion, and logic has little impact. Especially dealing with groups rather than individuals. But even individuals will rationalize their boiled-alive lobster dinner, which is normal in their worldview, while

I'm sure a big chunk is people not wanting to associate with Musk (not many fans over here) or attract vandals. But it is worth noticing that a number of competing cars have recently dropped prices, trying to compete with BYD and MG wh

It is how humans operate. We don't critically analyze the situation to decide if the danger is from an autonomous device or human action, or if the animal is being playful or aggressive. Panic is panic, the whole point being to bypass

It isn't the AI emotion. It is how the malfunction is perceived. If something is perceived as aggressive, or unsafe, then it is unsafe as it causes panic and trauma. And a very real chance of death in crowds.

'described as aggressive and violent'. It is the right word, as it was what the spectators experienced. How the malfunction was perceived is kind of what the article is discussing. Things malfunction all the time. Malfunctioning i

It looks fake. Turns out what looks real is shaped by experience in Earth atmosphere at Earth scale with Earth gravity. Those 70s and 80s sci-fi movies with close ups of plaster models turn out to have gotten it right. Even things like the

Surely the liability will lie with the insurance company, like with regular doctors in the US. And if there is too much malpractice, the state can revoke the license, like a regular doctor.

The decisions will still be made, but by other Northern Hemisphere countries. Manufacturing might remain local, since the infrastructure is there. Or maybe that will get shutdown if it is cheaper to ship from India or China.

I think the situation has demonstrated a weakness. Elon Musk, unarguably the single most Hacker News person on the planet due to his control of Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter and others, and now tied up in US politics with DOGE, has completely disa

Would the FBI be able to do anything autonomously about the situation, such as arresting people suspected of illegal intrusion? They are already under threat and have motive to not tow the line.

Maybe you are right and it is still risky for sleeping adults. In any case, even high risk the standard that needs to be followed might be as simple as 'must have a physical cutoff at 30C'.
