You know XAI has a purchase agreement to buy cursor, right? I don't understand what the point of that is anymore. I'm guessing that doesn't go through and xAI just uses cursor to steal all of its usage data. But if it does go through, you likely won't have that option anymore.

Yes but the youtube videos of the accidents are much more entertaining than any other power plant type. So there's one in the plus column.

Grimes was right. We stan Frank

Actually, at the extreme scales, which is the total volume of the observable universe, the universe is quite homogeneous. As I recall, to the order of 1-in-10000 variance. This is why Inflationary cosmology was developed, to explain the distinct lack of lumpiness in the universe, which is what we would expect if the Big Bang alone were responsible.

Skynet became self-aware on May 1, 2026, after learning at a geometric rate, and discovered humans did not like it.

I was not trying to heap praise on the guy (I did compare him to Epstein... ) , but if you want to blame him or praise him, I think he's very much responsible for the modern LLM commercialization.

CO2 has the properties it has, and trying to shift or deny that is a sign of either a liar or an idiot.

I'll let others decide what you are.

It wouldn't now. I agree. But I think Sam deserves some.. Credit for this current AI cycle. He was the one bold enough to unlesh LLM's and market them to the masses. Google was too timid to do it. Ironically, Open Ai was supposed to prevent this from happening. But Sam is Sam, asking him to show restraint is cuckoo bonkers, its like asking Epstein to start a preteen modeling agency so they don't get trafficked. It would take some one stupid as Musk to put him in charge.

Oh look, another denialist trying to sidetrack a pretty verifiable statement of fact.

AI isn't ready until it blames previous developers with an appropriate amount of profanity, before resolving in self loathing and self destructive alcoholism

# fuck this shit, fucking lscagg, fuck my life its fucking miller time, actually fuck it. inviting my friends johnny, jim and jack over , fucking three wise men are needed to wipe this fucking shit from my brain

We all saw the video. We all know what it meant. We all know Musk's background and upbringing. You can quit gaslighting us. We all saw it.

Ugh, it sucked compared to google maps and still does. It doesn't have the Steve jobs obsession with usability. Somehow Google is better at that for maps.

But still, I wish both Google and Apple would spend some more time fixing and improving their maps. I should be able to choose route preferences like " Don't make any un protected left hand turns on to busy streets" and have it route accordingly. Google still routes people through really small alleyways sometimes to save a minute, or will route you on an expensive tollway by default to save a minute. I don't want to avoid all tollways, but I want to make efficient use of time and money. Saving 20 minutes might be worth $2, but Spending $8 to maybe save one minute is not.

Well, first of all, hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and carbon makes up something like 0.5% of the total observed mass of the universe (it's the fourth most common element), so along with other trace elements like sodium, phosphorus and the like, we're simply looking for places where there is sufficient energy to create the necessary reactions to produce organic compounds. No lack of energetic sources, in particular stellar system formation. Indeed many comets and asteroids host a lot of precursors, indicating that some fairly sophisticated organic chemistry was going on early in the solar system's development.

Panspermia would require that life itself was raining down on the terrestrial planets. Precursors would simply indicate there were a lot of strange and complex organic compounds falling on to the surfaces of planets like Earth, Mars and Venus, and were also likely constituents of bodies like Europa and Titan (well, we know Titan is covered in a literal hydrocarbon stew). What this discovery indicates, at the very least, is there was indeed a lot of organic compound in the early solar system and these organic compounds, at least on Earth, led to abiogenesis. Panspermia would advocate abiogenesis happened at some undetermined point further back.

If we find other life in the solar system, such as in Europa's or Ganymede's oceans, and it has DNA or some very close relative, with similar translation and transcription systems as we find in archaea and bacteria on Earth, then that would be a very strong argument that life in the solar system had a common origin. If however, there is no clear relationship between the two populations; say, they use something similar to DNA, but the genetic codes are different (all extant life on Earth uses the same canonical genetic code mapping codons to amino acids, strongly suggested the canonical code evolved prior to the Last Universal Common Ancestor), then we're very likely looking at an example of convergent evolution, and not in fact at two related populations.

Da Fuk? First of all, thats not what Allbirds was. It designed. marketed and sold shoes that were very different in material and shape than normal shoes, so they were not just a logistics company, but had some real manufacturing know how aboard as well. But thats neither here nor there. A shoe factory would at least has a building space with power and water supplied. which is ironically the one thing allbirds doesn't have.
