Materials to build Henry Ford's first factory were delivered by horse-drawn carts.

Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.

"Sir, we need to know how fast the earth spins so we can aim our missiles."

Very well then. Carry on, ensign.

Not sure off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with Planck units.

It wasn't that long ago that people were making posts on this site confidently claiming that "Maybe machines can beat humans at chess, but they will never be able to beat the best human players at go!"

More importantly, how will they be able to spot the trojans in the code that are part of the AI's plan to eliminate humans and take over the world?

Thanks for making it clear that you're a fucking ignoramus and that everything you say can safely be ignored.

It sure is a pity that there's not multiple types of evidence from biological and geological data that corroborates and extends thermometer readings.

Oh wait, there is.

Let me save you the effort of your predictable reply: "I don't believe any of it. It's all bullshitt!!!!!!! Naah naah!!!"

I don't want to unsubscribe to this or that.

I want to give natural language filters like "I never want to see a political email again, from anyone"

Or maybe "If they make it sound urgent but it's not urgent at all, don't show it to me and remind me a week before the actual deadline if it's at all important".

As others have said, unsubscribe links often do not work and it's probably all the Gmail feature will use.

Historically, any given nation's level of interest in the former has been strongly correlated with their desire to develop the latter. It's been means to an end.

LLM crawlers are understandable these days, but who on earth is actively trying to take the FSF down?

A bunch of heathen VIM users trying to stop people from accessing EMACS? What the heck?

Let's say you actually managed to take down the FSF website. Who would even notice or care? How would that help your hacker rep in any way? You'd be a laughingstock for making the attempt.

If you want a fusion power reactor, by far the most viable fuel is D+T. You'd need orders of magnitude more tritium than is could ever be extracted from trace fission byproducts.

The idea to obtain this much tritium is to use the extra neutrons from the fusion reactor itself to breed it from lithium. This is supposedly a demonstration of that process.

Yes AI may be generating a lot of code now. But you need someone to find where what was generated was weak, or inefficient.

Over time the quality of generated stuff will improve, but since so many companies are generating a lot of code today that is a LOT of technical debt that is building up rapidly.

I especially agree that now is the time to round out your skills - as stated, study design, study platforms you connect to but do not develop on. Study AI tools, find out when they work for things you work on and know well - and when they do not.

Good luck out there everyone!

Man this Superman marketing budget must be crazy. Or possibly it's an F4 promo? But then it would be a little late.

I won't be impressed until the AI has better recommendations than 4 out of 5 dentists.
