New coal mines go BRRRRTTTT!

When they talk of "progenitor of the type 1a supernova" they mean if, as a result of drawing in the mass of the other star, it reaches enough mass to collapse into such heavier objects as neutron stars and black holes.

It would require (IIRC) about 3.5 solar masses or so.

This sounds more like bragging than useful numbers.

Five times the size of Paris

Enough electricity to power Switzerland

We are adults. We can handle numbers. How many square km/mi is that and how many MW?

You know, I've seen people try this while foraging for mushrooms and herbs. From what I remember, about 1 try in 20 it would say a plant/mushroom was fine to eat when it was poisonous.

I guess this is what happens when we "take all the warning labels off things and let Darwin work his magic."

What, they give you the design brief, level spec notes, and you get to look at them and pretend it's running code?

Chamber of Commerce has already got the ball rolling on that.

Okay, so on one side we have Meta, on the other Luxottica.

This is quite possibly the most horrid team-up ever. It's like if you got a shit-demon and the living personification of colon cancer to start a two-piece band.

Just make a uBlock filter for it.

You could read the attached press release, or even watch the video.

Human pilot: F16
AI pilot: modified F16 (X-62A)

The AI aircraft was an "in-flight simulator" that had a human onboard, and very precisely calibrated limits that would give the human full control in two situations:
1. if they asked for it
2. if the AI approached the limits of what the F16 could handle

Neither of the takeovers were triggered.

An AI Safety expert should have at least a little doomer in them—that's their job. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, meet somewhere in the middle.

When? When? You have been saying this for like a year or so now, while cranking out models and saying "this one for sure will do it!"

So, fucking when? Every day that goes by where it doesn't is another nail in your BS argument's coffin.

This has become the modern money-making meta, hasn't it? Come up with some BS new tech that doesn't do anything you promise, hype it up, sell your early-investor shares and bail before the legal system can catch up to the scam. Hell, they're only just now "about to put the legal screws on cryptocurrency." That's a laugh—you are still a whole scam ahead of the legal system that can't help but play catch-up.

Look, the half-giraffe is a beloved and much useful unit of astronomical measurement—but I am willing to compromise.

Averaging the two, I propose, the three-quarter-giraffe.

Hahaha!

This isn't about improving JPEG or compatibility. This is about controlling enough standards that they can bury all other browsers by requiring them to "keep up" as Google implements them on all their sites, and can claim "Your browser is slower here because you don't support the latest standards!"

A quick search of background stuff on IMDB reveals they got $1000 for 45 mins initially, then got updated to $6000 to extend the project, then got $60,000 to make it a full feature-length movie.
