Climate science is much more complicated - there are many things you could disagree with beyond will tons of carbon change things, yes or no. Like are we doomed or will it just get a bit warmer before we switch to solar for example. There a

The thrust of the argument seems the wrong way around. It's roughly: - Knowledge of how to make Fogbank etc. was lost when the people retired and or died. AI will make things worse, especially for code. In reality if they'd used A

There's a lot of that going on in the Ukraine war. Defenses include other drones to take out the attacking drones, shooting them down and cutting communications to them.

There was a certain arrogance from Trump - the Ukrainians offered to help out with years of up to date experience countering Iranian style done warfare but of course no.

I think an EU type agreement might be the way to go. Separate countries but in a union. I know Xi would hate it as he wants to be the ruler of all but compare say France and Germany - years of peace under the EU arrangement with Ukraine &#x

The water between Taiwan and China makes it pretty hard to invade unlike Ukraine or Hong Kong. It's how Taiwan came to be in the first place - the Chinese government retreated there to escape the communist take over and it's held

Speaking as someone along the lines of an excitable AI maximalist, I think he never asked one about the "the bits vs atoms barrier". Robots and similar, duh. This feels to me like someone in 1905 saying ok the Wright brothers mana

Mice seem to have quite a good representation of the 3d environment around them and motor skills. I had one in my flat run off an jump through an approx 1 x 2 inch hole 6 inches off the ground and about 10 inches from where it jumped from.

At the moment it's not possible for anyone. If tech cracks it it would likely become affordable like most technology.

The AIs seem to be getting better faster than the training on it's own code thing becomes a problem. Dunno about the juniors. Maybe they'll become 'prompt engineers'?

We used to keep similar axolotls as pets. I believe the abandoned pet thing - they are fun for a while but then you wonder what to do with them. We donated ours and the tank to a school. They'd probably survive a while in the wild in t

I wasn't really saying starving. Just hungry enough to come ask for food and eat it. I think the lady in question was likely drug addicted but even so usually even the addicts are fed.

10,000 barrels per year seems super low. Some figures I found of google estimated total fossil fuel in the earth 1.90E+16 tons (all the hydrocarbons, not just easily extracted) say it got there over a billion years that would be approx 2E7

As an occasional visitor to the US from England I was surprised by how expensive it's become. The US always used to seem cheaper than England I think largely because the government got out of the way so houses were cheap because you co

The question seems a bit silly like how much liquid is there in a glass. As much as you put into it I guess. You can tell roughly by how it makes you feel. The one I just had at Ronis Primrose Hill had a pretty good whack. Probably about 20

I have it down as a normal exponential tech growth thing. Silicon solar was invented in the US and would have got big without the Chinese although they have sped it along rather. It's been fairly close to Kurzweil's doubling every

I think you're over thinking things. China has traded with Europe for many centuries and it will continue. If we have some tariffs then so what? The Chinese buy a lot of European high end fashion - Gucci, Prada, Rolex etc. In the UK a

Maybe you could have humans verify other accounts who want anonymity? Like I'd be willing to say jtr1 seems human and also don't mind verifying with a passport scan as I'm not personally that bothered by the anonymity thing.

Not all of them. It's hard to get chart hits with AI. I've got a friend who tries but the AI songs are all kind of mediocre.
