And fission plants definitely aren't cheap.

Especially if you include the unsolved issues such as waste barrels stranded on the beach.

"But but no true Scotsman would put barrels..."

Just shut up.

I guess that proves that even this site is using AI to write their summaries these days.

That's likely part of the problem.

It stocked a bunch of cool nifty things that people talk about but don't necessarily want to buy (or buy many of/often).

The museum gift shop description sounds like that to me anyway. Like I bet it has rope loop guns there.

Sort of like what thinkgeek was back in the day.

My friend's daughter already does this for a local supermarket.

She fulfills online orders meant to be picked up completed. It's not a terrible job either.

I suspect the audrino hobbyist market is functionally zero relative to radio shacks footprint. It'd be essentially the same as the business closing financially.

I think AI is a great term.

It's ARTIFICIAL intelligence. It's not real intelligence.

The problem is somehow people think it means real intelligence and treat it as such.

A tourist to San Francisco probably thinks it's like LA since that's the majority of what we see in media too (Hollywood being there and all).

Of all you've seen is surfing, beaches, and partying in open courtyards: San Francisco can definitely be a shock.

I've been to both.

Windy and 0degrees f in a NY winter is much colder.

Which isn't to say that temperatures in the 50s (especially after a sunny day) aren't light jacket weather. But NY winters are brutal. I've never felt the cold of sleety 35 degree day with high winds in San Francisco. To say nothing of a windy sub zero night.

That's no longer true.

People getting home from work and cranking up the AC tends to be more demand than daytime in modern times.

I find the fact that it can play some games interesting and there's probably something to follow up there for those smarter than me.

(Though I don't care enough to see how well it plays the games it's "good" at).

I think it's more:

Company falling behind in AI tells everyone "let's slow down".

My understanding is that they're pretty similar in performance and an order of magnitude more expensive than the Chinese models (some of which are open weight), and behind Anthropic and even Alphabet now for work.

Only the government can bring criminal charges.

These companies can file complaints and hope the government tries criminal charges and the companies can file a civil suit.

We definitely need a way to attach criminal charges to entities that can't go to jail. I'd propose socializing the company for the length of the prison sentence before then returning it to shareholders.

Obviously, if you approximate a complex system containing 1e30 quantum particles using a couple of differential equations and a few boundary conditions, you're not going catch every detail.

It can be pretty hard to get a job that uses your potential and drugs that stabilize mood in the US. I don't think Brqve New World applies at all.

I've never used TiVo, but I'm still using MythTV after more than 20 years. (Anybody else here using it? ...Crickets.)

I ditched cable 15 years ago, but it works fine with an antenna. (Or, at least it will until they screw us all over with ATSC 3.0.)

They can't remove the auto-ad-skip on free open-source software, but I never used it anyway. It's not 100% reliable at detecting the ad boundaries, and it occasionally skips over part of the actual show. Instead, I just FF at 60X through the ads.
