Lord, when I prayed to you for a "future like what we see in the movies" .. I mean't sci-fi movies, not horror.

I may be cynical, but I think most people want people jailed just for revenge or in some cases jealousy.

I think this person should be jailed because it will provide some healing and restoration to the family. Anything to block generational trauma that could result in other bad incidents is worth it. Plus, there's also the societal protection factor. However minor the chance of a senior committing murder is, it does happen.

You don't know how good y'all have it. Back in my day you'd have to go outside in the snow and have to crank the power supply which if you did it wrong would take your arm clean off. Then you go in the house and feed dozens of paper punched cards into the computer which took 3 hours to boot and that's if you did it right .. God forbid you dropped the punch cards or put one in the wrong order. The whole thing would explode or blow a valve and then you'd have to go into the city hardware store to get replacement parts and have to weld it into the motherboard yourself.

These cold cases make me wonder, are there really a lot of "one and done" murderers out there? Did he commit other crimes and just keep getting away? I always thought these killers in unsolved cases would continue their behavior. Would be interesting to see if this guy felt any remorse or why he stopped. Makes me also wonder if many regular people can just snap given a certain set of circumstances.

Here's a reference regarding the Cantaloupe: https://scientificdiscoveries....

The biggest irony is that the USDA lab based in Peoria had been searching all over the world for a highly productive strain, but ultimately it was found right there in Peoria. Kind of reminds me of the Wuhan Virology lab and the COVID outbreak seemingly emerging in Wuhan.

Modern antibiotics are antibiotic molecules discovered in fungi and other organisms to fight bacteria that may be invading their food source. If this bacteria is resistant to 10 of them one possible way it attained that is it may have faced high selection pressure and been in a place where there was abundant rot. For example, the strain of fungus used to supply the world with penicillin was discovered on a cantaloupe in Illinois by a mold collector nicknamed "Moldy Mary" back in the 1940s. That market must have been gross because the fungus was producing an insane amount of penicillin, presumably required to stay alive.

In Atlanta and Austin, the only way to get a Waymo is via the Uber app. No user wants that -- it's obvious they've forced Waymo into that arrangement because of some legislative nonsense.. Worse, there is no way to guarantee you get a Waymo .. you have to choose "electric" and even then you mostly get a human driven car. That's why a lot of people, especially women who don't want a creepy human driver, have to order and cancel a ride multiple times before they can get a Waymo.

I need it to be able to do full length songs so I can get myself a Grammy.

AI will increase the number and diversity of jobs. It creates more and more bullshit for people to do. Until we have free food delivery service and mansions for all, there will be jobs.

The highest budget to revenue ratio for a movie that I'm aware of was The Blair Witch Project back in the late 1990s. That was a six figure budget that made $250 million.

I really don't see how prompting can produce a decent and original game without you spending hours prompting it. I mean just to get levels and gameplay a certain way would like a week or two of prompting nightmares. It's a lot easier to learn to code and use a game engine.

A product for the only time I'd be willing to use Facebook.

It must be very rare. Waymo has been operating fully autonomous since 2019 and prior to that in test mode with human drivers for years. The first I ever heard of this issue was some months ago. Maybe they did anticipate it, but figured it was so rare that it wasn't worth the extra capital expenditure per car. I'm speculating of course. But logic dictates they would have been aware of this issue since at least 2020 if not earlier.

They likely didn't anticipate it, and it's probably so rare that retrofitting every existing car isn't worth it.
