Precisely. If you make mistakes like this expensive enough for the police station then the problem solves itself. The real problem is that someone promised the police and the school a magic new technology that would make their schoolyard safer. So far the system probably has zero wins, and one spectacular failure. If the political and economic fallout for the failure is high enough then the school turns off the crappy system, and it encourages other schools to do the same. Potential new buyers for the system disappear and the vendor of the system goes out of business.

And we all win.

Eventually the school might even end up with an effective system that does roughly the same thing, but it will likely be structured in a way that makes it less likely that Doritos wielding young adults get assaulted by the police. It's hard to argue against safer schools. In any system like this false positives are going to be a potential problem. If you make false positives expensive enough, however, then you likely get the outcome that you want.

no.

LLMs write fiction, that's fundamentally what they do. Sometimes the fiction is accurate and can be used as non-fiction, but, it's still a form of fiction. It's not thought.

Producing a one-off in lab is completely different than producing chips at scale.

The US doesn't have the technology to manufacture a plant to manufacture the chips at that size. It would take 20-30 years.

Now, you can cut that by buying the equipment you need outside North America...

"Organic" means there is a specific list of SUBSTANCES that are allowed. This is the list:

National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances

What is allowed seems sensible, judging from the detailed explanations.

The science of AI, Artificial Intelligence, is rapidly advancing. The "Intelligence" is NOT "Artificial".

The speed of advancement is partly because AI reduces company expenses.

Untraceable transactions are too ripe for money laundering and as such generally illegal at scale.

You might not agree with it, but that's the world we live in.

It's almost rudimentary today to have fault tolerance in the design. Horizontal scaling automatically gains some level of fault tolerance unless you specifically build it without.

Which is usually budget constraint, not a developer constraint.

My sites are on AWS, and they all stayed up yesterday. But they aren't multi-region. That's the risk we take.

Quoting the story: "Human-only work is forecast to drop 27% over the next five years."

Robots will eventually be excellent for all of us. Most things we buy will cost less.

Maybe we will have 4-day or 3-day work weeks.

Humans will not be doing extremely boring jobs.

My oldest was born in 1999 and the hospital sent us home with a list of foods that we shouldn't introduce to our children until they were three years old. I remember this because both peanut butter and honey were on the list, and one of my favorite foods is peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I have six kids, and I got in trouble quite a bit over the years because I gave my infants bits of my sandwiches.

What can I say, they liked them...

It's a bit funny to me that I was actually right about that particular call. Most of the times that my wife and I disagreed about something I was definitely the one that was wrong.

Most new parents don't know anything about raising children, and even the worst parents are pretty motivated to do a good job. New mothers, in particular, are desperate for solid advice on what to do with their new child. My wife isn't keen on reading the instructions for any purchase that she makes ever. No matter what it is that she buys I am the one that has to read the instructions and teach her how the thing works. That was true with our children as well. However, she made me read every pamphlet that the hospital sent home with us when our babies were born dozens of times over. If she thought I was interpreting them incorrectly she would wait a bit, cross examine me again, and force me to show references. If one of those pamphlets would have said that the best way to insure that the child grew up healthy and strong would be to murder the father and sprinkle his blood over the baby by the light of a full moon then I probably wouldn't have survived the first full moon after my daughter was born.

Someone in the medical community decided that the best way to protect children was to keep them away from certain allergens, and they put that opinion into the pamphlets that get given out to new parents. I am sure that the people that came up with that strategy meant well, but in they theory was proven incorrect.

Fusion Energy would, eventually, be cheaper than all other forms of energy.

Fusion Energy would stop Global Warming because the carbon dioxide and other pollution of fuels would eventually be eliminated.

The Medieval Warm Period was NOT a global phenomenon. This is why we should care. And currently there Billions of people that live in equatoral zones that will become uninhabitable resulting in massive migrations, social upheaval, mass misery and as always poverty.

Trump will be gone by that time and that is what dictates the US's concern horizon. /s
