You haven't been following A.I. closely have you? Because it's being used in many high value applications and exceeding the current human experts in those fields.

Even in it's current dumb state, combined with robots, the current A.I. can replace about 60% of human beings and that includes some fields that require a masters degree or doctorate to get a job.

That's why you combine generation and storage (and note I didn't say "batteries"). That storage can include turning atmospheric co2 into fuel.

But underlying your point is that we simply have too many people. Generating baseline power for the current population is rendering the planet uninhabitable.

Seems to me that focusing on increased efficiency would have huge payoffs. Brains do this with a very tiny amount of electricity so the potential power efficiencies are vast.

Oops... senior moment. Should have said 2024.

Spot on.

More people will do real porn too, because they can always claim it was a fake.

Don't forget about Prima Nocta.

That creepy King Charles face on your wedding night...

They are only addressing the economic argument, not the human rights argument.

Typical for EU bureaucrats.

ECB, World Bank, EU, BIS, IMF, NATO - one big incestuous club.

Some day ... when search engines are invented, I won't have to write down your references to look up at the library next week.

TIL:

apt-get install git-lfs
git-lfs clone (huggingface repo url)

regular git clone gives you tiny pointer files.

PS Thanks, Babs!

The headline can only be understood *after* reading the submission.

I'll say it again - I use ReVanced because it has accessibility settings YouTube refuses to expose (default video speed, etc.)

I use it with my YouTube Premium subscription.

Google better not violate the ADA by blocking accessibility tools - that would be a criminal act.

Seriously... this is the first I've heard of it. At 9:22 pm on 4/15/22.

> all these companies lock customers into binding arbitration

Don't assume this in the case of fraud or theft without speaking to a lawyer.

Usually the whole agreement is void if crimes are committed.

And you need to find a judge who agrees, not convnce the legal academy.

Yes, the damaged craft needed to be written off.

NASA beancounters and politicians took a risk. Astronauts died.

Again.

It was said at the time that the white paint on the early shuttle tanks served to also keep the foam together and reduce drag on it.

They scrapped it to save money and increase payload by a tiny fraction. But mostly to save money.

Engineers: this is necessary.
NASA Bean Counters: nah.

Every freakin' time.
