I came to the comment section just to look for a comment about the LS120. Great idea but the media failed like crazy. I still regret ever owning one.

Palantir slams Europe because Europe doesn't need Palantir.

Search for "A genius way to restore dead soil" on youtube and see that it is actually quite doable. In a fairly short time frame.

The moment your garbage is collected you have basically donated it to the garbage collectors. And if they dump it on a government site then they donate it to the government. So the content of the drive isn't even his own anymore.

Pavel Durov can testify that any CEO not abiding to the low risks being detained.

Most spam I receive comes from a gmail account so I'm inclined to put gmail on a blacklist. They really screwed it up big time and now they promise AI generated spam.

I'm not sure modeling after a Squid Game guard was the best move.

It's even worse it seems: "As opposed to code generators trained using copyrighted code (GitHub Copilot, among others), StarCoder 2 was trained only on data under license from the Software Heritage, the nonprofit organization providing archival services for code."

Plus, if you build vertical solar power installations you use way less land and get a bit of shade in return.

One problem with current AI is that is gets trained to become the perfect conman. It's trained to give the most appreciated answer of all options. For regular use that isn't a problem, but for players with bad intentions it can get problematic.

For now the shading tells it al. AI generated art I've seen so far look more like photographs of a plastic doll. Which does not represent art if you ask me. The painting in the article has a very different shading which really represents what a painting would look like.

Functional programming is all fine and dandy until you have to extract ICY data from audio streams over the internet. It will have it's place but not everywhere.

If you can easily translate C++ code to Carbon then the security features could be implemented in C++ itself skipping Carbon entirely.
