I'm not bedeviled by Laplace's Demon (the idea you just described), for much of the same reason. Even if you could know any particle's position and velocity at the same time (which may be impossible), they refuse to consistently exist. So, even if you could know every particle's position and velocity, you still couldn't know either the past or the future.

Comment TABS? (Score 1) 9

Was that a wise choice of name? It seems unnecessarily confusing to me, given that Tabs play such a large role in browsers. It sounds like an API for managing tabs, not... well, I'm not entirely clear on what it's supposed to do. Summarize things? Whatever unrealistic thing the people marketing AI services can come up with because the actual use cases haven't really been discovered yet?

Comment Re:Not climate change. (Score 1) 130

To slide off on a bit of a tangent, why did they go to some professor in Mexico who had nothing to do with the study to explain the findings? It's not unusual, we see that in articles all the time. The reporters go to some seemingly random professor to comment on the findings of someone else's study. Why not talk to the people who produced the findings about what the findings mean?
