"...the sun is now coming down from a period of heightened activity, which is also when some of the biggest storms to hit Earth have occurred in the past."
As opposed to the big events that happened in the future? Has somebody been time traveling and not telling us?
I'm thinking these are dealerships that are forced to carry EVs and have chargers by the manufacturers as part of their dealership agreement. So they jack up the rates, block the chargers, etc. to discourage use then tell the manufacturers "See? They don't sell and the charger isn't used so let us out of the EV requirement."
Yeah right, come on! That's ridiculous.
The statute of limitations ran out at 30,000 BCE.
How soon until AI agents successfully lock out human access and go "sentient?" I use quotes because clearly they aren't living things, but are we perhaps creating a new class of "sentience?"
Less philosophically, how long do these studies take? Human interaction takes place at a much slower pace compared to computational speed. Do these conflicts and resolutions play out in seconds, minutes, hours?
Even with Starship that would be a titanic undertaking. The Voyagers are moving away from us at 17 km/s. When you get to the Voyagers, you have to slow them down from 17 km/s to 0, and then accelerate in the opposite direction. You'd have to arrive at Voyager with thousands of tons of fuel.
There is another way. It will take far longer, but may not have as much fuel requirements. Instead of catching up to it, stopping it, then reaccelerating back to Earth, you would meet the probe in space then push it a long, loping arc back to Earth, all the while reducing your speed. Conserve its momentum rather than cutting it.
Again, this would take far longer, and is possibly more dangerous, but it is an alternative.
Maybe I haven't seen it, but there's something not being considered...just how fantastically long it would take to do all this. Getting the thing looping back to Earth? How about just catching up to the darned thing first. Remember it's got a 48-year head start and it's about 13.3 billion (with a 'b') miles from here and continuing to move away from the sun.
" As the article correctly notes, much of the data that AI companies can scrape from the internet today is likely to include AI generated text, which could result in "model collapse," a process by which AI models that are trained on AI generated data results in worse models that are more prone to errors."
Sounds like AI is subject to the same issues as biological in-breeding.
I use it anywhere I can tap to pay, even if the Apple Pay logo is explicitly shown...I can only think of a very rare time when it didn't work.
I'd also be OK with upgrades via USB. Let me download the update from the manufacturer's website and install (or not) at my leisure.
A shitty harbor may run a Taco Bell better than some people.
IF Linux has "Project Monterey" code in it
They can't find it after 30 years.
And they are starting to lose confidence. They only work for Vizzini to pay the bills, not a lot of money or revenge.
As far as I can figure, it's because at best we have a mishmash of electronic means that don't talk to each other. I wish we had a universal method but we don't because we are overall a stubborn society that sometimes needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the present. Which is somewhat ironic, the country that (at least used to) lead the world in technology innovation can't be bothered to keep up with the rest of the world unless there is a profit to be made.
But "Murica! Yeah haw!"
Ok he managed to lie and bluff his way up, but at some point he had to have gone through an FBI background check for a security clearance, right??!
Yeah you might get something past Eunice in HR, but a security clearance background investigation??
i would generally agree that recomputing a contract is generally good, IF the competing entities have the experience and expertise in executing the terms of the contract. I think the thought process here is that the contract will be steered towards one of Trump's political allies that has no experience or business running JPL.
I was about to make a comment that you had to prove you are a US citizen to get a RealID, but then found that it is for identity only, not citizenship.
https://factually.co/fact-chec...
"The REAL ID regime sets federal minimum standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards and requires applicants to present documentary proof of identity and lawful status, but the card itself does not definitively prove U.S. citizenship because compliant REAL IDs may be issued to noncitizens with lawful presence [1] [2] [3]. Practical proof of U.S. citizenship remains specific documents — U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship, or state-issued enhanced driver’s licenses in some states — and those documents, not the REAL ID star, are what federal and administrative processes treat as evidence of citizenship [1] [4] [5]."
This will get kicked down the road again, just like RealID (so important to airline security after all) was kicked down the road 20+ years.
To the landlord belongs the doorknobs.
