"Who won the 2020 Election?" I think we all know what answer will be acceptable to the White House.

I saw an AI generated video of a bird getting killed by a wind turbine, so it's a very real concern,

I have an idea, let's take heat from the ground and pump it into the atmosphere! You want global warming, I got your global warming! Yes, I understand that the global warming we are most concerned about is with regards to a runaway greenhouse effect, but it is worth nothing that EVERYTHING in modern society produces waste heat.

IDK - Maybe they meant TSMC? That would be my guess.

Dear MS,

You may pay me $100,000 to never work for you, this way you don't have to lay me off.

Thank you.

"Be Evil" as a corporate philosophy... I guess that works for some.

The Falcon 9 has been launched 640 times with 637 mission successes (one of which was successfully delivered one payload, but not it's second). This does not include one pre-flight failure. The operational success of the Falcon 9 is nothing short of amazing. It's chasing the R-7 family (Soyuz-U, Kosmos-3M, Proton) at over 1800 launches. The R-7 has an estimated success rate of 97% which is amazing giving the technology at the time it was designed.

The Falcon 1 had 5 launches and 3 failures.

Now Starship..LOL! That's a whole lotta mess there.

It's a great time to be alive.

IDK, if you spend it wisely. I just hit 50 years of age and have only had three years that I've made more than that and the last 16 years as the sole income earner in the family. I could go on a huge long humble brag about how well my family is doing, but what's the point. I'd think we are easily upper middle class.

Do I need to be that guy that mentions Aflac isn't that type of insurer...but certainly Lloyds of London will be willing to write a policy. They'll insure darned near anything.

Sweeny owns 41% of Epic Games and is third wealthiest person North Carolina. He doesn't need a golden parachute.

No, but he can slow it down during his second and third terms.

Given that cheap, one way drones are the future of combat and that the US is woefully behind on this tech, I'll do whatever I can to help Anduril or a similar company succeed.

Stackoverflow has been circling the drain for quite some time. Unfortunately they've alienated most of their users. In times past I never even tried to search for a problem on the general internet. I just went strait to stackoverflow. Now, I go strait to Claude (or Gemini and ChatGTP) if I'm out of free quota for the day.

People will take the path that gets them the answers the fastest. I can't see that being StackOverflow ever again.

"Don't be as evil as the other AIs" Yes, I think that is better. Shades of Animal Farm here.

For scoring 97th and 99th percentiles on standardized tests....turns out they are just the best of a bad batch. *sigh*
