Hydrogen is a neutral atom, which made it tricky. But turns out neutral atoms, and even neutral anti-atoms, can be trapped because they have a magnetic moment, which can interact with an external magnetic field.

They are saying it does make economic sense.

From the summary: Google believes that launch costs will "fall to less than $200/kg by the mid-2030s." At that point, the "cost of launching and operating a space-based data center could become roughly comparable to the reported energy costs of an equivalent terrestrial data center on a per-kilowatt/year basis."

If that's true then space based AI farms are inevitable.

Yes, there were never any riots or looting before Jan 2025.

Why not ban their account permanently, ban their IP address for a few months, ban their hardware id's permanently and post their account information to the internet labeled as "cheater"? That's what I would do if I was CEO.

Yes.

Still an order of magnitude safer. 4.6 per million miles vs .41 for waymo.

Taxis were involved in 4.6 crashes per million miles.. All vehicles on the road (private and commercial) had a crash rate of 6.7.Dec 30, 2024

The tundra and much of the taiga – the sometimes swampy coniferous forest of high northern latitudes – were once a grassland ecosystem known as the “mammoth steppe.” It was home to abundant grazing herds of antelope, deer, caribou, horses, bison, and woolly mammoths. At the end of the Pleistocene, these herds vanished leading to an ecosystem conversion away from abundant grasses toward a more shrub-dominated community.

The tundra ecosystem that arose in the absence of these large grazing species is now affected by and contributing to human-driven climate change. Without large animals to compact and scrape away thick insulating layers of winter snow, extreme winter cold does not penetrate the soil. That fact, coupled with significantly warmer summers, accelerates the melting of the permafrost and the release of greenhouse gases that have been trapped for millennia. From a global carbon perspective, the carbon release from the melting of the world’s permafrost is equivalent to burning all the world’s forests 2 ½ times.

The work of Dr. Sergey Zimov shows promise that tundra can be converted back to grasslands with the introduction of grazers even 10,000 years after their disappearance.

Why would you not want to help law enforcement with a cold case?

Facebook doesn't have to make a copy of the book. They could feed the download stream straight to the ai tokenizer.

If everyone did that there would be no tiktok videos.

And tiktok chose not to follow the laws in the US. So that's on them.

If you want it to stop all you have to do is convince Israel's neighbors to stop attacking them. The day that happens Israel will stop.

One alternative is simply, practicing best security practices, keeping your systems up to date on security patches, not exposing unnecessary services and hardening your systems manually, proper admin training. Rather than relying on some bolted on top software to keep the computers safe. Those people have neither of these problems.
