Comment Flytrex (Score 1) 40

Israeli startup Flytrex has been operating in the US since 2020. It seems that Amazonâ(TM)s resources did not quite help it be the first to get an FAA license.

For anyone worried about drones dropping on their heads: you should be more concerned about that delivery guy driving a two ton vehicle through your street, and this is reflected in much lower insurance rate.

Comment Re:Zim (Score 2) 187

I started using Zim 10 years back and I keep coming back to it, after trying out several solutions: OneNote, Obsidian, Emacs org-mode, Evernote, and then some. The stability that Zim has is amazing. Its developer is conscientious, and has taken the path of gradual and slow development rather than trying to tackle every problem in a single shot.

Comment Same answer in every era (Score 1) 96

If this question was asked in the 1970s (50 years back), the highest-voted answer would still have been 50 years. I think this answer would remain constant with time. Forever. Hence, my answer is NEVER. Machines would never be able to "feel" the same as we do. That is why they struggle with the most uniquely human tasks like language. It is that emotion that we feel which has in fact led us to solve the most challenging scientific and mathematical problems. We possess a certain "aesthetic" ability which had led us to the right directions when solving mathematical problems. Uniquely human innovation is only possible through those human traits. No matter how much we nail it down the silicon, it will never be able to produce something uniquely human.
