Would this kill all centralized social media platforms? Could we replace them with properly decentralized alternatives?

WikiMedia has been doing some research into alternatives to Slack and found that Matrix is the best.

Zulip and Mattermost may look cool, but they have annoying monetization structures for orgs over a dozen people.

The thing that would be World First is not molten salt fuel in general, but the specific type of chloride-uranium salt that would be used for the not-yet-built "Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment".

Linux has a number of rules for licences in the kernel source tree. "Public domain" code is not mentioned. It seems implied that every contribution has some well-defined license.

At first I thought "no they won't", because why would you bother with the Moon if NASA's not going to pay for it?

Then, I thought that NASA has already paid for much of it, via the segmented nature of the HLS contracts, and even if Starship HLS doesn't line up with Artemis 3, you might as well run the mission if you've got the hardware. Ops and fuel costs relatively little.

The article implies, but does not state, that the governments of the Asian nations in question are incapable of enforcing their relevant laws.

Is the deal with AMD still on? Looks like they're diversifying suppliers.

We can't afford to just "hope", we have to ensure AI is friendly, and we have to stop ourselves from building it until we are certain it's safe.

It was a bad idea to do this research, and a worse one to publish it. Now that omnicidal evildoers know it's possible, they'll try to replicate it.

Heinlein sounds correct. I will add:

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. - George Bernard Shaw
