Worse than "Washington says it wants Europe to arm itself". There's the business of threatening to take Greenland for one thing.

I'm not sure. Most bubbles are characterised by people overpaying for investments because the prices are going up - whether dot com shares, tulip bulbs, houses in 2006 etc. With AI there's not so much of that. A lot of investment

I dunno if he's lost the plot so much as repeating the "AI is rubbish, the investment is a bubble, it'll all crash" plot at the rate of 10,000 words a month year after year.

Well an obvious solution would be to back to Russia and do something else. You don't have to invade other countries and have an empire. I'm a Brit and we gave up on that about a century ago and it hasn't been so bad. The whol

From my understanding it seems fairly accurate. A lot of the stuff is pretty public - if drones blow up Russia's stuff they obviously know about it. Also drones get shot down so both sides can have a look at the tech. The reporting see

The Ukrainians seem to be dealing with it by switching to bots, drones and the like as much as possible and moving human resources back. I'm not sure about the Russians. That would kind of make sense for them too but things seem a bit

It's not a prefect system but I don't use a landline and set unknown incoming numbers to silent unless I'm actually expecting a call. Someone important trying to call can always leave a message but the spammers never have.

There are other technologies. GPS is an obvious one though it can be blocked. I think HIMARs used GPS with inertial backup if it's lost. Also with modern image recognition you can give the thing a picture of what it's supposed to

I don't think it really works like that. The bbc doesn't sit around think - ah let's push some warmongering propaganda. That's more a Russian thing. Also re Europeans not suing for peace etc. - it isn't a war betwee

I get your point but on the other hand humans live quite well in places like Medicine Hat say where it swings from -40 C in winter to +40 C in summer. Against that the likely warming by say 2100 is I think 1.5C up from what it is today whic

An obvious counter hypothesis is the amyloid is produced to counter an infectious agent. It is a reaction to that, not the cause. I think HSV-1 has been hypothesised. I'm not that up on it, just saying there are alternatives.

Not by my prefered definition. I like science being the study of nature through reason and experiment. Reality trumps consensus.
