Astra correctly answers all 10 questions in the $2000 lightning round!

And now on to the final round. To win $32,000 cash, a brand new Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, and an all-expense paid vacation for two to Puerto Vallarta, all you have to do is answer this single question to the satisfaction of our judges:

The Riemann Hypothesis: True or False?

Literally this dude has dozens, if not hundreds of people working on PowerBI for decades if you count the roots of PowerBI and he's like "look what I can do". It's a dashboard, nobody cares about your dashboards, ever. Dashboards are great for your personal use case but boring to literally every one else.

And just a few months ago he's out there claiming that it will end all software dev jobs and the best he can do with it is make a dashboard? Should have stuck to the stories about ending the world.

Tim Waltz is a criminal mastermind. He's been hacking other states' water so that he can keep all 10,000 of his lakes topped off at the expense of hard working Americans.

Changing out running code on the fly probably increases the number of corner cases by an order of magnitude.

What could possibly go wrong?

Sure, 204 Mtonne (Tg) sounds big, but over 60+ years, it isn't, only 930 tonne/day. About 2 kBpd, not that it matters because CO2 is spectrographically saturated on the physically-dictated absorbtion wavenumbers. More only reduces the altitude.

Crashes are now rare in general. When I was a kid, it seemed like there was a major air crash in the US almost annually. I may be wrong, but I don't remember a full-sized airliner (bigger than a regional jet) having a catastrophic crash in the US since shortly after 9/11 when that Airbus lost its tail and crashed in NYC. (Being a natural pessimist, I find this outcome hard to believe and would have lost a good deal of money if I had bet on it.)

However, there still continue to be a large number of hard landings, runway slideoffs, engine fires, cabin fires and other emergency situations where the passengers still need to evacuate quickly because their lives are at risk. (Not to mention the "Miracle on the Hudson".) The safety briefings are still relevant in all those situations.

is why I'm sticking to just toggle switches and blinking lights.

Quite so. Measuring anything quickly changing requires relevant reference points. Using age might be convenient, but requires justification especially in something as bursty as human development.

Doing otherwise invites fishing for desired conclusions in a pool of data. Experts know they should not be trusted and need to prove up. Anyone who claims "Trust the Experts" does not understand expertise.

Linked? How, some corelation? What r2? More to the point, how is this possibly free from the "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy (it came after so was caused by what came first)?

Most likely, both are symptoms from some underlying cause. Potentially with benefits like IQ.

I don't know why your reading comprehension is so bad. I would have totally preferred it if any of them knew how to drive a manual or wanted to learn how. But they didn't. How does that make *me* sexist?

The biggest deterrent: Girlfriends and/or wives. They don't know how to operate one, and they have zero interest in learning how. Now you have all sorts of logistical problems.

America will retake the lead in AI the same way we did with EVs: Just ban the ones from China. Problem solved.

Because a zero-day is any flaw made public before the developer knows about it. One of the main ways this happens is by noticing that hackers are breaking into systems using a heretofore unknown exploit.

Romero doesn't do any victim blaming on id here. He tries to show sympathy, which apparently Carmack still has no idea how to do. Sucks for everyone at id, and I honestly haven't really enjoyed any of their games since Doom 2 but they will have have a place in many gamer's hearts. Everyone how worked there deserves better than to be downsized this way.
