Should it though? I'm not seeing the article touch on it, but I can not imagine the newtons per watt being all that high even in ideal circumstances close to the earth.

I actually wonder how it compares in efficiency to a photon rocket. The magnetic field even in low earth orbit is not all that strong, so I imagine you have to expend a whole lot of energy to get much translational movement out of it.

That is the odd part about their restructure.. apparently xbox is profitable, but lower margins than their other high margin businesses, so they are cutting it back to have fewer offerings? It reads like they are doing it less for the company or money, and more personal brand since being in charge of nothing but a few well known blockbusters is better social credit than many small titles no one outside gaming has heard of.

I am not even sure it is really about trump or the party, and I doubt the energy companies actually care about things like this. DeSantis is deep into the 'cruelty as a status symbol' thing, and evangelicals eat that up. They don't seem to really care what he (and others) do, as long as it hurts and upsets people they see as inferior...

That they made peptides part of their marketing pitch says a lot. This is not a tool for doctors or researchers, but hussle culture biohackers and dropshippers. Now they can be even less creative and hands off with their snakeoil.

I suspect when they picture 'any clinician around the world', they are picturing biohackers running unregulated supplement websites, like that guy who claimed he built a billion dollar company with nothing but AI.

While 'AI" has gotten a lot of pop attention latetly, the actual systems (and the problems they cause) are much older.... 2011 is _WELL_ within the timeframe someone can blame 'AI'. People have been trying to turn over these kinds of processes to various models since at least the 80s.

So... a big bonus for law enforcement and device owners, not that useful to hackers?

Ah, I thought they were referring to inclusion of some kind of LLM based tool right in the editor, kinda like how various full IDEs now have one built (or plugged) in.

Ahm.. what are LLMs doing in VIM in the first place? EMACS I can understsand, that always was a kitchen sink, but it feels like a really strange thing to include in VIM itself.

Researchers within the DoE (and pretty much everywhere else) have been using machine learning in their work for decades. This kinda sounds more like a handout to various companies and reducing the number of tools researchers have access to.

The majority of the population is not steeped in tech culture. Knowing about ublock is a bit like knowing which fork you are supposed to use.. a good way of signaling your membership in a particular subculture, but not something most people know since they have their own subcultures to signal.

I sometimes wonder if we are going to see the bottom fall out of the ad industry as a new generation grows up expecting ads to be ignorable garbage.

I do not think they are preying on each other, they are the same group, preying on retail investors and other bagholders.

Judges. Texas is a very 'might makes right' state, judges and other officials are very friendly to corporations and affluent individuals, so people and companies that do not like the legal system protecting other people from them have been flocking there.
