Yes, and the first fucking line: proves me right,
and proves you WRONG.

Not very difficult to grasp. The commonly known name is the wrong name. Pretty clearly stated in the article. And it is inaccurate on top: as it is "american" and not English.

"Chinese" and "communist" are adjectives modifying "party".
The word "Chinese" is not in the name. The word in the name is: China. A noun.

Circling in a so called "halo orbit" perpendicular to the line from earth through the moon.
Around Erath/Moon L2 Langrange point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It is called "Halo" as from the point of view from Earth, it is behind the Moon, and circling just outside of its ring/ball shape.

Thanx, very interesting.
Raises the question: what took them so long?

Now lets see when I finally can write an "App" on a "PC" and just "move it" onto _my_ tablet, and launch it there.

Why are you citing fake news sites, when you can simply link the correct site?
This: https://www.energy-charts.info... is the official EU portal for all about electricity (and other energy) in the EU.

Germany decided 2000 to shut down nuclear.
Not 2022.

2022 was 3 years ago. Are you fucking stupid? Or is that a stupid typo? Has nothing to do with Fukushima.

The exit was set to stone LONG before Fukushima.

Higher GDP doesn't translate to better standard of living,
Of course not.
Just double all prices in your country, and you have doubled (actually much more) your GPD. Simple.
And? No one has any benefit from that inside of your country ... and quickly the exchange rate versus any "world currency" will adjust ...

It is easy to have a high GPD, if a lot of it is selling and buying fictional assets on a stock market. As in futures, sell and buy options, and however all the "derivates" are called.

Just move the London stock exchange or the New York one to lets say Bangkok ... or Kuala Lumpur. And their GPD will explode over night. And if you move the NYC stock exchange: it collapses in the USA.

Well,
as much as you are right ... there is still some funny dampener on the European potential crash :D

The idiotic taxes US imposed on _everyone_ including Europe, let many mid sized companies bail out of the US market.

So the US themselves helped us to decouple our market a bit from our former biggest customer.

It does not shield us from any catastrophe happening over there (e.g. oil prices are still super important for the EU), but 10 years ago a sudden crash would have had more drastic effects on Europe.

The problem is that the current world crisis (es?) look so damn orchestrated. War in Ukraine, Syria, now Iran, and US at the verge of a civil war. South America struggling ...

Disruptive AI ... cloud and data centers in general, crypto miners. I mean seriously: we have two IT/computer driven energy hungry "technologies" that hardly benefit mankind in any way. Sure, I can now ask my photo gallery to automatically create folders for every picture containing cats and or humans, and name them by date or place or face recognition via my contacts (or even scrap some social media sites for the names of the people on my photos). However: I never use such features.

There are simply to many people on the planet that have way to much money, and use it for bullshit, instead for something reasonable.

Look, father, that other guy there, they say "he is worth 100billion", just founded a space travel company!!
Oh, son, yeah, wow, that is a good idea. Let's do it, too!

It probably made me 5 times slower because it gets hung up on a stupid thing, misinterprets me telling it what the correction is, does something different, rewrites the whole thing, introduces different issue

I argued with an LLM for about an hour about how to properly escape paths with whitespace in them for passing to AWK. I could have fixed it myself quicker, but I wanted to see just how many times of going 'No, you have to because " it'd take before it'd realize what the actual issue was.

It took a *long time*

So the only thing the attacks need to steal information from your system is to already have access to the system to run arbitrary code on it. Gotcha.

What you seek is always in the last place you look, because after you find it, you stop searching.

It's just a contract, not a philosophical treatise. We should be more worried about their goals and intent regarding what they plan to do with the technology. There will be plenty of time to debate the true merits of the term, and what threshold needs to be crossed before consciousness should enter into the discussion. The more pressing question, to me, is what are the limits of this current technological trajectory and what do we as a society need to prepare for to handle it? What they decide to name it will just be marketing term for a product. And without a solution to the model collapse problem, the biggest issue I see is how to filter the deluge of content. We're already on the other end of a firehose we largely have no control over. The Internet may have connected us, but most of us still have little idea how little control they possess or how targeted the content they consume really is.

Yeah, management hates when workers stand up for their contracted rights.

"picky" you say. F* that. If she's right then they are wrong. That's that. Yeah, I'm sure they wish their slaves were more "flexible" and didn't call out Union violations. Sheesh.

On a scale of 1-10 what's your confidence level the following countries don't have this capability today? USA, Mexico, Canada, UK, France, German, Australia y? The US is allied with Israel. If Israel has capability that would imply to me our other allies do, as do we.

The problem is basically the fixed costs of the grid and all the other infrastructure, and the employees.
Strictly speaking: half of the cost on a household energy bill are grid costs.
If the energy costs ZERO ... the grid is still there to be paid.

Regarding Greta, some moron claimed I was "faithful follower" and had no clue about science.

He obviously did not grasp her simple 4 words :D alas, such is the world.
