It is also important to realize that an atomic clock will only give you a steady pulse. It will count seconds for you, and do so very accurately, but that is not the same as knowing what time it is. If you get a rubidium clock for your gara

It might be a reference to Netanyahu and other high ranking people of Likud who has supported of Hamas for decades, both directly and indirectly via Qatar. It is uncontroversial and there is even a well researched Wikipedia article, but for

Comparisons with deterministic tools such as calculators will always lead astray. There is no comparable situation where faced with a new problem the AI will just give up. If there is the need for an expert, the need is always there, becaus

It's always entertaining to hear such absurditites presented with a straight face. An alien studying our race would struggle to understand who would even care about this. The obvious solution is, of course, to just allow people to pass

There are plenty of companies today where "not using AI enough" is a career problem. It shouldn't be, but it is.

With OpenAI, the most bullish analysts calculate that 40% of the world's population will be users in three years time, and they would still lose money on every sale. That's a bold bet.

Sounds very likely. Perhaps if you are sufficiently big you could also get a small kickback from someone like VISA? Operational expenses must be fairly low.

That's not how those NFC cards work. They are payment middlemen. They are full cards on their own and just pass on every charge to your other card. Just like Google Pay.

Telco capex was $100 billion at the peak of the IT bubble, give or take. There's going to be $400 billion investments in AI in 2025. Just saying.

Perhaps. But does it matter? There is a million tools to investigate complex data already. Are you suggesting it is more useful to develop a new tool from scratch, using LLM-type tools, than it is to use a mature tool for data analysis? If

There is a deluge of financial scams across all Meta platforms but also Twitter. A centralized platform have all the right to moderate content, but they must also be liable for obvious scams. Either you are an open messenger like the postal

Sabotaging is much too strong a word. The fever is not essential to the immune system. If taking down the fever makes it easier to cook food or do something else that is important to you, go ahead. We have had fever suppressors for so long

If you have seen say, for example, the Windows source code, you cannot take certain jobs implementing Windows-compatible interfaces that are supposed to be free from Microsoft IP. One could say your brain has been "infected". The

The only legal way to do that in the proprietary software world is a clean room implementation. An AI could never do a clean room implementation of anything, since it was not trained on clean room materials alone. And it never can be, for o

A completely level playing field. There's probably never been a more perfect free market than that in free software. It turns out that most people who say that value free market capitalism never really did.

It can be anything between easy and impossible depending on the temperature difference. 200 C steam is easy with a commercially available turbine, but 50 C is really hard. There are things like Sterling engines that can capture waste heat b

You speak theoretically but metropolitan areas in these countries all have those pipes in place and in use for the better part of a century. Using heat for heating has many redeeming qualities. Heat is high entropy and it is not a good idea

That's .. not the least bit surprising. It's not ancient or anything. It's still under commercial support from the vendor, even if it is sunset.

I think we agree. Of course a NAT router with an application proxy such as FTP or SIP can relay and rewrite traffic as needed. TCP and UDP have port numbers that the NAT software can extract and keep state tables for, so we can send the ret
