"... saving an average of 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight..."
And a gallon of av-gas is $7.84.
What about all the crashes and incursions and lack of staff?
Bread and circuses. Doesn't the LLM cost more in resources from the power grid? Does $627 per (number of seats * ticket price, which is
A dude with 3,000,000,000,000,000 spent 500,000,000. Aka, 1/6000. If you had $10, 1/6000 is 0.17 of a cent. Who cares? That's nothing.
Cool.
So, are you for or against being a catalyst for change which is known to be *DEVASTATING* for humans and other living creatures on this planet?
Seems like a rewrite of interfaces (and, everything), in Rust would be of large benefit.
How many more code-injection vectors do we tolerate? Especially, with automated fuzz testing (etc) of agentic connectomes.
Seems like the 20th century modality needs to go the way of DOS 1.0 EDLIN. It's bad for UI/UX, and is poor separation of concerns/security from the implementation/integration/maintenance side.
The *WHIPLASH* of these two statements:
'Improvements to LinkedIn's detection systems have resulted in a 40% decline in views of content classified as AI slop, the platform said last month. That's not to say LinkedIn is entirely opposed to AI, Roth said, adding that "not everyone is a born communicator."'
YET -
'Roth said. "A lot of times now today, they'll run it through Claude or Gemini or wherever, they'll post it on LinkedIn and it will perform poorly. And then they come to the team and they're like, 'Why did this do badly?'" Roth said. "And the best thing you can do is give it back to them and be like, 'Did you enjoy reading this? Do you see yourself in this?"'
Essentialism is lame; people are born as a human. So participate. Learn to speak. Learn to read. Don't be illiterate. Don't be inmumerate. Rise above. Master yourself, and in so doing, emancipate yourself.
Use your self-awareness to improve and add to the palette of skills and abilities through your life.
It's not that hard. And I'm a programmer, so you *KNOW* I am the ultra-laziest in terms of applying time and space to problems (aka optimization!).
I get that different people have different priorities, but -- in the way that a radio transceiver is useful IF you know things like frequency, signalling mechanics, signalling protocol -- humans learn languages and use that to reason. To not develop your mind, is to throw away your greatest strength.
These were people who worked in defence so anywhere behind the Iron Curtain was right out and I imagine Cuba would have been too. Even Austria was considered a risk, probably because so many spies would hang out there from both sides.
Or so they told me. I can't be entirely sure they weren't exagerrating.
Yes, certain destinations were off-limits to people who chose to work in defense, however that falls far shy of this "Exit Ban".
The US saying "If you travel to Cuba, you may face charges when you return" or even "You have been charged with a specific crime, so you cannot leave until the charges are resolved is significantly different from China saying "You are important to our plans, so you cannot leave the country at all, and neither can your immediate family", or forbidden a US citizen from leaving because of visa inconsistencies, much less the common situation where Chinese employers require staff to surrender their passports.
Yes, a judge can require the defendant to surrender their passport as a condition of bail, but the USA lacks effective exit controls, so that isn't actually a high barrier to exiting (but makes it tough to come back).
If, as the article suggests, this is an "Exit Ban" on certain individuals and extending to their family members, that's significantly more restrictive than anything the US has imposed on defense workers and top scientists other than during wartime.
Yes, people with sensitive jobs and a security clearance are strongly discouraged from visiting hostile nations, with a subset even being required to submit their travel plans before any foreign travel, but this is explained clearly when you accept employment directly with the US government, or start working under a government contract, and you're always free to not accept the job offer. And yes, all US citizens were for many years prohibited to travel to embargoed nations (Cuba). But this was nowhere near an "exit ban" on key personnel, much less on their family members!
When I held a clearance, I was never forbidden to leave the USA. I might not have a job when I get back, but that's not the same thing at all.
Person, the reason the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- has the NULL HYPOTHESIS as "no correlation", is because OF THAT. Your senses LIE!!!!
Fucking take your left and right hand, and 3 buckets if water of different temperatures. Let's say ONE is HOT, ONE is COLD, and the final is LUKEWARM/GOLDILOCKS.
Put your left hand and right hand into C and H, respectively. Wait. Minute.
Put both in the lukewarm.
Do your hands agree on temperature?
No. Fucking pay attention to your mental biases. That's why science is a DISCIPLINE OF MIND.
FFS.
"This ALPR mass surveillance â" the indiscriminate, continuous collection and retention of location data on every driver, regardless of suspicion â" should not exist. But because it does..."
Because of all those who predate upon those with lack of critical thinking skills.
"Wake up to reality" is the double-think that they say is dumb when they pejoratively call people "woke."
"Woke" is just a word for "slave that doesn't know its place."
It only applies to black men.
Per the statistics, police shoot and kill quite a few white men as well. Nobody gets worked up about those dudes.
OTOH, when you dig into the individual incidents, pretty much all of those dead white men were actively attacking the police, usually with a weapon (), so it's difficult to get to worked up about those deaths.
Yeah.
They completely ignore panserpmia.
They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.
They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.
"An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."
Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.
As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."
Ignore them.
Everything seems obvious once it is explained.
Why do 12-14 steps of algebra, when calculus works in 2?
Obvious. People should know calculus.
Yet they don't.
Define Green's Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- is obvious.
Everything is obvious *IN HINDSIGHT*.
How does a society treat its citizens, specifically parents and children?
Autism -- is human psychology being maladaptive because of this situation. Parents aren't there for their children to imprint-upon. The psychological distress is real. Depersonalization is a result.
This depersonalization happening during acute childhood development phases, exacerbates the problem of social disengagement.
People should be treated as people, not chattel.
Also try not to get your image into the image recognition software's database.
FACESNXT is fed from all Florida-issued photo IDs, including driver's licenses. So pretty much every Florida resident is in the database.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office submitted the poor image to a statewide facial recognition database maintained by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), running a facial recognitio program called Face Analysis Comparison and Examination System (FACESNXT). This draws from a mix of sources including booking photos and all Florida state issued IDs and driver's licenses.
So good luck keeping your face out of that database if you live in Florida.
The summary left out his best line. Something like:
"Our engineers figured out how to create a brain. It takes 9 months."
Woz truly is one of the greats. And I am going to leave this here: the $2 bill story: https://www.coinbooks.org/esyl...
