> Bradbury describes the fully automated smart home, but its technology does obviously not extend into the garden exterior. In the 7th to last paragraph, second sentence, he lists …

We cannot allow a Torment Nexus gap!

It's not depicted as brave or noble in the film. They are quietly sneaking around, whispering and miming to each other. Once injured, Polyphemus immediately speaks, leading the cre…

> Nolan didn't want to add "cruelty to animals" In one scene, Odysseus doesn't even blink as a puppy is thrown off a cliff.

With respect to Dr. Wilson, most of this reads like "A three hour movie didn't include every detail I've enjoyed during my lifetime of study." Every suggested addition just reminde…

AI companies just need to capture more than half of the entire global entertainment market to avoid insolvency. Seems unlikely, especially before the investment money runs out.

They're selling it for AI. Unless retro-nostalgia explodes and gamers are overwhelmed by a desire to pay for tokens (more than ai users), that doesn't change anything.

Thanks

It wouldn't have been. I had an N9, it was amazing, but even before the "burning platform", it was clearly too late to the market share and app races. Consider that it didn't reall…

I'm curious to know what constitutes "higher end". Obviously a theater release isn't going AI yet, but where down the scale do they start using it?

I never took Roko's Basilisk seriously, but now I fear that it will come true in part. The richest, most powerful people control the AI and they seem willing to use every tool to p…

I think the closest right now would be the Tor Browser.

I don't have personal experience, but I've heard it's not viable. The biggest issue is that Amtrak offers the service on a "best effort" basis, which means that if the train you wa…

No. Short interest is at 15% and cost to borrow is .36%.

If Cohen's "large move" was to buy EBay, investors could have done that themselves. They would have gotten a better deal on shares in the new company. Also, they'd be up 50% over 1…

It's a similar story for Venus fly trap plants. It has a tiny habitat so it's exotic. They're easy to breed so it's cheap to start selling them. But their limited habitat is being …

- The mandate is for rear visibility. Car manufacturers choose to implement it with the back-up camera. Beyond that, it's obviously safer to be able to see everything behind the ve…

This is an interesting comparison. So what's the AWS equivalent that can actually provide returns on the titanic investments going into AI?

That comparison doesn't make any sense. Socialism is an ideology. Accelerationism is a strategy that can be used by a person of any ideology. A communist can be an accelerationist,…

We have HIPAA in the US for health care data. There have been no disastrous consequences to holding people and organizations responsible for breaches.

Which accelerationists? Accelerationism is a strategy, not an ideology. Two accelerationists might have directly opposed beliefs and goals.

> Note that the (edit: US) postal system is a for-profit system. That's not correct. If USPS makes more revenue than their expenses for a year, they can't pay it out as profits to …

> alcohol, tobacco, internal combustion engine Yes, the companies providing these products are sued a lot and are heavily regulated, too.

I didn't notice it as well, but it definitely does. Double check the green smiley face, below the mouth. Since so many people missed it, I wonder if the author did too.
