Are you saying you didn't see this coming? It is a democratic system, ain't it? So this means politicians just do what is expedient, that's why they are elected. Leaders have stopped being elected long long time ago. Not that I am for any government intervention into any of this at all, I am against it. I believe we must do what we do as a species without any collective action enforced by government, I am against all government intervention. I am totally against anyone trying to architect our survival as a species, I am all for real natural selection.

Asked the thing to tell me:

is this it?

I don't know how some people get these types of weird answers, I cannot get the damn thing to tell me the wrong time. The only really weird thing is that it is 'searching the web' while 'thinking'.

I don't think AI is causing too much of that yet. What we see now is more of a result of the boomer's borrowing all the subsequent generations into permanent debt slavery so they could give their money to billionaires.

... unfucking what the ai fucked up.

They could make a note of mileage leaving and re-entering the UK.
Penalty for misplacing the documents would be paying for all the miles.
Or keep it in a database for tax purposes.

Lots of "cute" answers I see. More seriously, the FAA is involved because it involved a flying thing. FAA regulations are designed for flying stuff, and wants a high level of safety.

If a self-driving Fedex truck did what you described, the DOT would likely become involved.

It's probably overkill in most people's homes. However, it may be more valuable in a commercial setting, such as a convention center or hospital. Cutting down on the crud even by a small fraction could be worth quite a bit.

a government or anyone may decide they need a reserve of something in case it later becomes unaccessible when needed. When can a government *need* BTC? Needing oil or food or water or weapons or gold is understandable, those are real things and it is possible to run out of these items and be in a position where access is limited.

If one "needs" crypto currency they may either purchase it in the market freely or just start their own, even Trump has done this on multiple occasions.

Note, it says "a reserve", not a speculative asset to gamble on its price.

Before AI I replaced my flagship Android phone once every 2 or 3 years. Now I am not sure, how can I replace my phone if I do not want AI functionality in it at all?

Indeed. My thought was that CO2 levels could roughly correspond to the number of people in the specific room, offset by actual ventilation levels.

IE more CO2 = more risk because it means more people with inadequate ventilation.

Conference crud is really simple. Hacker or not. You bring in hundreds/thousands of people from around the country and world, exposing most of them to even more potential disease carriers on airplanes, trains, busses, and more, then disrupt people's sleep and disgestive tracts with unfamiliar locations, schedules and food and you have the perfect melting pot to get people sick.

What can be done to help prevent it? Mask wearing might help some, along with sanitary other stuff - improve the ventilation in such buildings, including good filters, UV lights and such helping to sterilize the air. At the same time, improve air quality otherwise, because harsh cleaning chemicals can also make people sick.

It's their stated business model.

you used to be able to save it as MIDI files you could import into a DAW. In parts by instrument. That's much different than just saving the WAV

This may well be one of the dumbest questions ever asked on /. as it ignores the entirety of human history.

yes, actually yes. I would do it differently though, I would use sodium and burn it in water to create the particulate matter, this would accomplish more than one goal, it would block a percentage point of the Solar energy and would percipitate into the ocean water deacidifying it. If done xorrectly, maybe as NaK alloy it can also be used to generate power while burning in water.
