Of all places The NY Times is going to get a look at deleted logs. If any NY Times employee uses the information in that, they should be sent to jail for a while.

"computer controlled circular saw" --- seriously? Given there have been millions of these things in the air now, how many people have died by drone in a non-combat situation? And btw, have you seen a delivery drone? It would take a hell of freak accident that evades multiple independent failure modes (motor cutoff fail, parachute failure, etc) to cause a death. The blades aren't metal btw, I doubt it could get through bone.

We've been hearing the threats like that against drones. And also self driving cars.

Turns out you guys are wussies, few people want to go to jail for 20 to 40 YEARS and face terrorism charges over shooting a drone. But hey, if the idea of free meals for a few decades in exchange for being stuck in a cell with Bubba appeals to you that's cool.

The opposition to drones have nothing to do with noise and everything to do with hating conveniences for others. If it has to do with noise people would be saying making them quieter (they are already pretty quite btw and the newer ones use a tether instead of reaching ground level).

How do you know how loud it will be? The Zipline ones stay 100s of feet above ground and tether down the package. Put in a noise ordinance instead of a drone ban. We know you guys don't care about the noise and just oppose people getting deliveries.

Whenever there is a new technology, people emerge from various crevices to block it and ruin the party for everyone else. I recall when we started having horse driven carriages, a lot of people got pretty angry at the idea we'd have animals dragging people around shitting all over the place.

Uh, that sounds fishy .. I feel like we'd see some arcing on the moon if that were the case. I get that we wanna play Nikola Tesla on the moon, but solar may be easier since you have to wire stuff up anyway. Is it any better than solar + batteries?

Do... do... do you know anything about batteries/energy storage?

My guess is some sort of cold-tolerant batteries like Ni-H2 will be needed anyway as backup to nuclear. Speaking of which, nuclear is a single point of failure.

"There're" ??

Your grammar Nazi license has hereby been revoked.

It is more like a Switch 1.25 than a Switch 2, but hey if God decided there's a sucker born every minute what can we do about it?

You're exactly correct.

Proficient in the art as in able to program, or design. The error itself is recognizable by the general public -- but correcting it requires skill. Like the rocket engine blows up, but how do you prevent that? But that aside .. let's assume the error itself is subtle, would you want it make medical or life safety decisions? That's insidious. It may be OK for making a movie or ad .. but not anything critical.

They are able to reproduce in the environment and resources that are available. The equivalent of happening to be born part of a powerful buffalo herd. The species benefits because though the genes for replication were flawed perhaps they carry the genes for efficient agriculture. They contribute to the tribe, and the tribe helps them.

Seems they are fit enough to reproduce, because they did.

It can't replace anyone yet for anything, because it makes dumb mistakes. And then you need someone who is proficient in the art to correct it. For dubbing I guarantee it will F up an idiom or something like that and cause problems.

I mean one of my companies had recent hires who are "vibe coders" .. The code they produced fucked some shit up. And they had no clue, like none whatsoever, of what their programs were doing and how. I mean even REALLY basic shit about the architecture or how it connects to things and how it picks up configuration parameters etc. They had to ask the AI everything. They don't even know it to the level of which files to look in or what to grep for (something you should be able to guess at).

I was like fuck you guys .. paste me all the prompts and shit you used. That turned out to fuckball of dick words, and so we looked at the code and saw that the AI was on a crack cocaine level shroom hallucination binge.
