Comment Relying on flawed AI is just as dumb (Score 1) 80

There is a tendency for humans to attribute more authority to a machine's interpretation than is reasonable, especially if the machine is a black box and generates authoritative-sounding text.

Using this in a military context is fine as a planning aid but it must NEVER be relied upon as a single source of truth in operational matters, like whether a nuclear attack is incoming. That is extremely dangerous.

As much as I despise Elon Musk he seems to have hired competent people for SpaceX, or at least accidentally allowed competent people to hire competent people.

Unlearning legacy practices can be important if you've reached a developmental plateau but there's not really much evidence SpaceX has plateaued.

Comment Might as well say 'the last nazi' (Score 1) 27

Russian Imperialism created the Soviet Union, and Russian Imperialism survived its collapse. It is a cancer on the world, the war in Ukraine being only its latest metastasis. The Russian world is a corrupt, totalitarian hellscape on par with Naziism, where individual rights don't exist and human life is expendible.

Calling someone "The Last Soviet" has the same energy as calling someone "The Last Nazi".

No good person should or would appreciate it.

Comment Re:Problems with whole institution rankings (Score 2) 35

I would tend to agree with the comment about teaching quality. I've attended everything from Community Colleges to prestigious ones. Some of the best teachers, in my opinion, were at the humble Community College. The high ranking schools can have absolute tyrants, who are more interested in getting students to figure out and jump through their hoops.

If I'm paying big bucks to learn, I don't care about the reputation. I want to be presented the material in a manner that I can make use of in the future.

Comment Re:Who is financially sponsoring this bill? (Score 3, Informative) 453

20% of Wyomings power is from wind. 75% is from coal.

And 90% is from right-wing bullshit that the faux "cowboys" eat up because they think it makes them look manly, when it fact, they're some of the biggest welfare queens in the country. Their government ranks #5 in the states most dependent on Federal money, then they brag about not having a state income tax.
