I guess you're right. Never thought I'd understand Abe Simpson's POV as he shook his fist at the clouds.

I'd mod you up 100% for that laugh :) thank you for the smile.

Let's hope the ink that will coat little Suzies mouth doesn't fade too fast. Then we can look for any kids with toilet-cleaner coloured mouths and know their parents are not keeping these things locked away in cupboards out of reach.

Yes, babies swallow weird stuff... but if bad parents didn't leave them on the table where young mouths could ingest them...

We've already all been inconvenienced by the cover screws - unwashable Blue mouth for a few weeks might teach the parents not to leave dangerous stuff lying around in their spawn's reach.

If I need to use AI, I will use one from Hugging Face that has had it's puritan guardrails stripped out. I don't need to see the bias of America's screeching moral minority on my devices, ever.

Ideal when you need some power in your backside! But it it less burny to your derriere than Carolina Reapers?

AI won't stop the racism. Dog whistling wins votes, so don't expect the politicians ever stop stirring up an electoral advantage with their three word slogans like "stop teh boats".

There are certainly a lot of regulatory barriers to overcome, but many countries including mine are a few years into a many year process of trying to work it out.

If the technical problems around handover can be solved, feasibly it's as possible for a company fly autonomous urban deliveries as it is for Mr Musk to put his orbital trash up in his fcc allotted particular stratum and spectrum too.

And as with Mr Musk's orbital trash hurting astronomy, highways of drones carrying people's doordash/deliveroo/speedpoutine/hungrypanda/mcdelivery/bikenosh/ubereats are likely inevitable and will hurt recreational drone use and everyone's ears. That joyful incessant buzz of quadcopters 24/7.

These upcoming drone delivery companies will buy the government and magically solve the legal issues, they've done it before.

Just the niggle of that handover, and I don't trust AI's 20 fingers to be able to avoid a powerline and the subsequent crash, and drop on someone's head during a routine AI hallucination.

I think most AI redteamers knew this one.

https://www.govinfo.gov/conten... is an FAA notice requiring the plane is rebooted every 22 days due to a bug.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 787–8 and 787–9 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive cycling of either the airplane electrical power or the power to the three flight control modules (FCMs). This AD was prompted by a report indicating that all three FCMs might simultaneously reset if continuously powered on for 22 days. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

They could have said 'almost 3 flux capacitors' and made more sense.

Although I see a lot of FT8/4/etc CW still seems to be very active, and growing. That growth is from increasing numbers of people going QRP at POTA/SOTA/IOTA sites where CW will get the message through when little else can. FT8 is great and all, but you do need all that extra equipment, and if one is hiking up a mountain to activate it, one really doesn't want to be carrying all the extra electronics, nor the batteries to power it. 73 from VK3

With a price rise from $17,99 to $32.99, forget it. Can afford Netflix and Prime and Apple TV all from savings by unsubscribing.

What is absolutely shocking is that the police actually bothered to investigate.

I want tell you about Smith County Texas, where this happened, they got three stop Signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars, Being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it.

I wish companies riding on the coat-tails of hysterical lot's moral panic would stop. It only encourages them to screech more. This isn't about protecting the children. This is about trying to make their sleezy, illegally scraped database of faces, built from the ground up as stalkerware, look legitimate.

A lot of these are already done in Australia and New Zealand.

No smoking in business. No smoking in public buildings. No smoking at buss, train and tram stops. No smoking in public areas of apartments. No smoking within 20 meters or so of a school. No smoking near any doorways. No smoking a car with children in it. Punitively heavy taxes (25 pack is $48.95 in 2022). Plain paper wrappers. No advertising at all, not even sport. In shops, no displays, cigarettes to be locked inside cupboards and hidden from view. the list goes on.

We can't charge more for health insurance, as there is social healthcare.

Smoking rate in New Zealand is 9.4%, Australia is 10.7%, Smoking rate in the USA is 23% This is the next logical step.
