If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.

The actual paper instead of a press release about a paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core...

A 767 operates at Reynold's numbers between 30 and 40 million which is to right side of the curves in this paper where the with/without lines come back together.

Interesting, but the hyperbole is multidimensional.

Generally, it is gambling if the result is largely based on chance. So, in the misnamed "prediction markets", if you have insider information it is not gambling, and if you don't have insider information it is gambling. Since most people do not have insider information, these sites should largely be considered gambling sites.

I usually see someone post about Betteridge's Law to say that if the headline asks a question the answer is no. This headline question is clearly a yes. If you weren't already constantly worried about your job, AI is definitely going to push you to worry. In theory, there will be a lot more work for everyone to do. In practice, the cost of AI will force businesses to choose AI over human employees.

I don't think it's vibe coding. I think the huge increase in storage costs is driving this change. Which is caused by AI, which is associated with vibe coding. In a roundabout way, you're right.

They are asserting that humans are going to change their ways despite all the evidence to the contrary. There is only one scenario that is anything close to realistic in this report and that is the one labeled "H". The rest of these are wishful thinking. To get the "HL elbow" shown at 2080, humans would have had to have radically changed their ways in 2010 -- we clearly didn't do this. There is a lag of roughly 70 years from the time we change the atmosphere to the point where the earth approaches a new equilibrium. We have done nothing over the last 70 years but push further way from the "1850-1900 equilibrium" ... which already wasn't an equilibrium situation. In order to see the downward trend predicted for "M" that starts in 2100 we would have to cut so far back on emissions in the next four years that by 2100 the atmosphere would be back to 1950 levels. Why would anyone think this was even a possibility?

AT&T does force these transitions in the rest of the country, often without the customer even being aware. Many people who think they still have POTS to central service are really plugged into a box like one of these: https://www.peplink.com/produc... that convert their POTS line to cellular. I have a friend whose last gig at AT&T in Virginia before retirement was trying to stomp out POTS. California is not allowing AT&T to do things other states have allowed. Various states have different rules, like in some states AT&T has to wait for storm damage in some cases to make the switch.

Buildings like New York's 33 Thomas Street https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... are in every city at various scales. AT&T desperately wants to stop paying taxes on these buildings and sell them, but they can't so long as there are live POTS connections going to these buildings.

I just can't think of a more dystopian term than that.

nothing is "free". there are always resources that must be used.

It almost seems that there should be an international organization handling this that does not need sole funding from the US. Admitting that the US simply cutting USAid funding led to this means that the rest of the world really was depending too heavily on US participation.

ZLibrary never recovered. You can watch the takedown action on the library tracker dashboard here: https://open-slum.org/ Anna's archive at this moment has one endpoint of four down.

Victory.

While I may disagree with you, at least you're honest enough to admit there is a debate there, and I can most definitely agree that it's a pretty fine line. Most people I speak with, when framing this question, are ALL in on their viewpoint and refuse to see any other possible viewpoint.

Damn, reading through these comments is like watching my grandfather make stupid idioms for politicians he didn't like, and likewise viewing it at witty. It's not. It just shows your lack of restraint.
MAGAt , Democrap, whatever.
I guess I should be happy people do this, it lets me pick out the moronic from a crowd of comments.

I mean, this is literally a discussion about Ebola in the Congo, and the Trump pile on is immense. Do you spend all day pondering such things?

the population of Gaza has increased roughly 600% since the 70s.
Meanwhile, the Jewish population of Iran? 85% down, same time period.
