The SLS is widely understood to be less about research and development, and more about pork barreling, and jobs program. I don't buy that humanity should avoid investing in space t…

Why does the reportimg say she "abandoned" her car at the beach? She was at the beach when she was located. People usually do not take their cars with them once they arrive at thei…

Sorry, what is the previous dependency? If you're talking about longevity of solar or wind turbines, given that their lifespan is measured in tens of years, it does give you some a…

Does React have story for backend? I should have mentioned that my interests lie in building backend/back of house functionality.

I'm interested in building some open source projects/libraries, with long term monetization being the addition of paid/premium additional features. I have a soft spot for (and expe…

Has it been decided that training models is fair use? Has it been decided in all jurisdictions?

The vast majority of people cannot do the structured thinking to model the real world in a fashion that a computer can understand. That is a key attribute of a good dev. If someone…

Then they should easily fall within the regulation section posted earlier. If you cannot see the difference between BitTorrent and Ai models, then it's probably not worth engaging …

It doesn't seem unreasonable. If you train a model that can reliably reproduce thousands/millions of copyrighted works, you shouldn't be distributibg it. If it were just regular so…

I personally don't think we'll all die due to climate change, but i could easily see it set off massive problems like wars over resource shortages. The pandemic demonstrated that t…

There are many nuclear powered ships. If the decision is between nuclear proliferation, or the end of the global economy, I'm betting we'll choose the former. If you have enough el…

Sometimes it is good to tradeoff solving a known short term problem, by taking on a solution with a uncertain long term issue. If the world had continued to adopt nuclear power una…

Better than what some people do: argue that the problem you have raised doesn't exist.

Normal blenders have substantially more cleanup work involved.

How do the costs of long distance, high voltage lines compare to batteries for addressing solar intermittency?

> That means the technology problem is now a money problem. This is such an odd insight. Most problems in the world can be described as a "money problem", and it's usually the prob…

Honest question: are you asking them to not express this idea? Or that they used uncouth language?

Fibre will always be better for densely populated areas. But for less dense satellite is making a lot of sense. However, for nation states there is a lot of value in having redunda…

I have yet to see a starlink proponent suggest starlinl is a good solve for densely populated areas. Are there some misguided/uneducated people saying dumb stuff on the internet? I…

Your dislike of Musk is clouding your judgement. They're not using semantic versioning. SpaceX hasn't even finished a production ready starship, they are still very much in the R&D…

English speaking countries are always popular to move to.

> South Africa ... if they can see eye to eye on political and economic issues. That's a pretty big "if". Right now South Africa is a basket case, with corruption at the highest le…
