Europeans will absolutely get what they deserve here.

I think it's safe to say that the European style of democracy, where for some reason every single decision is closely scrutinized and can be vetoed by just about anyone, and every industry is regulated to the point were any change is essentially impossible, and new industries are killed before they can even get off the ground, has turned out to be a bad idea, and the US should immediately turn away from these kinds of policies before we follow suit and become irrelevant.

SEO killed search. If anything, AI has made it slightly useful again.

If you’ve ever tried to argue with an LLM, it quickly becomes obvious that they don’t even really know what words mean, and this article explains why. They don’t actually have any real life experiences to relate to those words. They’re not trying to understand the world, they aren’t even really exposed to the real world as a source of data, all they’re really trying to accomplish is arranging words into patterns that humans will find authentic and convincing. That’s the main thing these models are optimizing.

Yes, but we’re not counting on them to become super intelligent and solve all the worlds problems.

I've used them, I am well aware of what they are actually capable of, which is mostly expanding a small piece of text into a large one without adding anything of value. In most cases, it sounds like a highschool student trying to BS their way to meet a necessary word count without really engaging with the material. Trying to call it "superhuman" is actually hilarious.

Yeah, it seems like AI coding is totally misguided today. AI would be good for helping people with syntax, or identifying typos. Maybe you could use it to produce early demonstration versions of software to help set requirements, but using it to actually write code doesn't make sense for any kind of real product you intend to ship to customers, especially if security is any concern.

I'm not saying IA itself is not useful, but that AI generated content is not useful. There are certainly things it does well that can improve your productivity, but generating answers to questions, generating complex code, writing stories and things like that are not among them.

It’s good for a handful of things, but as a rule content that is largely AI generated is not useful. AI chatbots and ai generated answers to questions are not particularly informative and often contain glaring logical contradictions, nonsensical statements, and even factual inaccuracies. AI, in its current form, will never be able to think, make decisions, or teach students. It’s as if we created the world’s smartest insect and asked it to raise our children, when it should be summarizing wikipedia articles and filtering spam.

The only reason anyone is talking about this is we’ve made it too hard to build new power generating capacity on earth.

The booster has worked property through stage separation on all but the first launch, and has had 8 landing attempts that would have been successful apart from things like GSE problems or extreme descent profiles meant to push its limits. The final 3 block one starhips made it to near-orbit successfully and survived reentry to splashdown. The initial block 2 starships had some trouble, but the final three all made it to near-orbit and the last two both survived reentry and splashed down successfully.

You have to keep in mind that this is a development project and they are improving the design with each test flight, they're not just failing over and over again, or having a small number of successful flights at random. Even the block three ships are not the final planned ideration. SpaceX intends to mass produce these, and fly them at an incredible rate. If you think about other things that are mass produced, like cars, they make tons of prototypes and release candidates before they settle on the final version and tool up to mass produce it. What SpaceX is doing with Starship is no different. They really want it to be as inexpensive and reliable as possible. It's nothing like any space development project that's come before.

They are initially streamed on twitter, but they will still post them to YouTube afterward.

They haven’t completed an orbit because they want to be definitely certain they can deorbit it reliably as it is not demisable. They have absolutely demonstrated that it has the ability to reach orbit and survive reentry consistently.

All those goals are reasonable when you consider the assembly lines they are building and their success with recovering the first and second stages. Consider the launch rate of Falcon 9 and then consider the fact that they are building twice as many launchpads while designing the boosters to be immediately reflown.

The only real question is whether they will have the same initial teething problems with their third generation of the rocket that they did with the first two, but I doubt they will.

I am serious, this 1984 insanity should not be legal. Editing old photos and videos without some kind of disclaimer should not be allowed, and the original must always be available.

Of course, with Apple dropping support for the Intel macs, I have to replace my mac too, but there’s no chance I can skip that, since I need it to develop iOS apps.
