Yes, that is the argument of the climate zealot side. "But none of it matters because planet is going to die. We need to stop raping Mother Gaia and start worshiping her".

These are the same people who predicted in 2000 that we'd have a "global starvation event by 2020", as well as that Pacific island nations would be underwater and cease to exist by this time. And that were talking about "global boiling" in 2020.

Turns out reality doesn't bend that way. Regardless of strength of faith of the zealots.

Yes, because Russians are key partners when it comes to operating the ISS. They own and control about half of it after all.

It's in the name. International Space Station. Not American Space Station.

I would guess the point is that eventually games are available for more than just Windows. Because Microsoft has been trying for better part of decade to make their own "games store/app store" to compete with Valve. Down to making editions of OS where you couldn't even install software from outside Microsoft's own store. They're really trying to lock down the OS without losing most of the customers.

And while it has been failing miserably so far, the writing is on the wall and Valve would be smart to push software companies off Windows into "works on everything" paradigm.

Funny how if you look at the change log of proton, it's full of fixes for the "tricked-out crazy-straw-coded games". Which would suggest they're running anything but flawlessly.

Reminder: most of these papers cite numbers by which growth will be reduced by the end of the century. Projected total growth in the same time frame is several hundred percent. This is a factor that slightly reduces that number.

"Climate sceptics" generally argue that this sets a ceiling on cost of efforts to mitigate climate change, because otherwise cure is worse than the disease.

Again, the best evidence of someone arguing in bad faith is their pointed refusal to look up a basic fact. Examples:

Pictures of planet from space on "is earth round" argument.
Basic mathematics on "does 2+2=4" discussion.
Basic medical ethics on "do we halt studies and administer the cure if during testing we find overwhelming evidence that cure works".

You are pointedly refusing to do this. And then complaining about the dumbest grammar communist level of red herring I've seen on internet in a month. It's hard not to observe this weird behavior and not conclude you're acting in bad faith.

Do you know who else "does a catastrophically worse job than a human in specific conditions"?

Other humans.

Because they're also self-learning neural networks, and share the problem of "each distinct neural networks develops its distinct quirks as it learns" with current AI.

These people aren't hired by Elon. They're brought in by NASA in cooperation with Russian authorities.

SpaceX's only relationship with them is that they're a NASA subcontractor taking them to space.

Talk about going into bad faith with "if you use quotation marks, it must be a specific quote from someone".

On the fundamental basic of medical research ethics no less.

Fun part: you can ask current gen AI if I'm correct. Or hit google scholar. Both will tell you something among the lines of "yes dumbass, this is the fundamental basics of medical research".

You may quote me on this.

Ah, you don't know how current gen AI works. I assumed you do from your previous posting, but this post demonstrates extreme ignorance.

Current gen AI is not algorithmic like MCAS. Not even a little bit. Your false assumptions appear to come from complete and utter lack of understanding of underlying technology.

These are self-learning neural networks. Just like human brains. This is why they share many quirks with human brains.

There's no directx 12 this time, and there are no new complex APIs.

So where microsoft easily forced a lot of people off 7 to 10 by breaking games and applications, no such thing is really possible with forcing people off 10 to 11.

Fun task for you to do to understand just how utterly wrong you are on this subject: search through medical malpractice lawsuits. You'll find those "oh my god, robot would do things human surgeon wouldn't do" actually happening. A lot. To the point where surgical robots today already crush human surgeons in things like motion accuracy and reliability.

Turns out not having analogue bundles of nerves connected to musculature, and instead precise digital controls on electric motors makes for much more precise and reliable motions.

Love to break it to you that you're 100% wrong. There are actual ethics guidelines that MANDATE that if "new medical intervention is proven to be much better than current/placebo", the trial MUST be halted and all participants in the trial MUST be administered the new intervention.

This isn't even a new thing. It existed for many decades, and probably over a century at this point.

There is no income limit for the parents who claim these but there are restrictions on what it can be withdrawn for. Those restrictionsâ"education, starting a business, etc.â"coupled with how this will be claimed, means that it will mostly be used by the wealthy.

This is literally welfare for rich people.

What about slashdot?

Maybe I should make a post complaining about the quality of a site completely unrelated to GitHub or anything else in the featured article. I could use the same tenuous relationship to the topic at hand that you did.
