This was a well-written and thought provoking article. The USA bashers out there should contemplate a world where the Chinese PLAN has assumed the role of the US Navy. Hint: it wouldn’t be pretty. Where the essay goes off the tracks is in i

We should get to the point fairly quickly where “written by AI” is far less relevant than the accuracy and timeliness of what was written… Were the points made in the article valid? Mostly, it was well worth a read, with or without AI invol

One issue with private, for-profit organizations is their major focus is “creating shareholder value”, which is apparently the modern way of saying “making money”. That, along with competition (if applicable, see below), drives them towards

We shall see about how much of nursing can be automated. I do think that the human presence of a nurse (particularly if of the opposite sex to the patient) is helpful. That could still be provided on a less frequent basis. As to the rest of

I think you’re failing to factor in the rapid improvement in robotics. I was at the hospital a few days ago, and was pondering the numerous nurses who were wheeling around portable nursing stations with monitors and various types of equipme

They’re a threat to those fearing deportation or arrest for criminal activity. If you’re not in those categories, you have exactly nothing to worry about. I’m a lot more worried about the giant NSA data centers like the one in Utah, funded

Good! Illegal aliens shouldn’t get credit from any source. They’re bad risks, especially if they get deported…

You folks are both mentally ill, and extremely misinformed. One might say brainwashed…

You’re misconstruing the situation. Only 10 million subscribers means a vast growth opportunity. I think there’s easily potential for a billion subscribers eventually.

We’ll how that prediction turns out… My informed opinion says that you are wildly wrong. (Also don’t forget the Starlink related military contracts that SpaceX has.)

Starlink is wonderful for many reasons. It allows technical folk to live wherever they’d like as long as they’re working remotely. The mobile applications, particularly in the case of airline aircraft, have also been compelling and worth a

Since you have such strong (and numerous) opinions… AI is a tool, and one that governments of all stripes will use for many things, including military applications. It’s overly simplistic to say “AI was used to bomb things”. There’s always

Pretty funny to be downvoted so heavily. Sadly, it appears the average HN reader is pretty far left and woke. China is NOT your friend. I didn’t even express a preference for or against AI…

Nonsense. The sea floor in those areas is soft muck, 20,000 ft or more deep. The waste, likely packaged in torpedo shaped structures made of corrosion proof, high density, high strength materials, would arrive at somewhere around 150 MPH. B

We should all keep in mind that foreign interests, primarily China, are astroturfing to drive resentment in the USA against AI and datacenters. National governments are largely viewing AI as a strategic capability. That’s not to say there a

A much better, safer, and cheaper idea is dropping suitably packaged waste on the subducting side of the Mid Pacific Subduction Zone. It’d be inert long before seeing daylight again… The only downside is the “waste” is quite valuable. MSRs

>Trucks and guns pose outsized risks to bystanders, and if you don't agree with that, you are either being grossly disingenuous or you're just extremely stupid. In the case of trucks, you can literally just go read OP's ar

My impression was that Gossamer has good Rust FFI rather than basic C FFI, sharing struct layout etc. I may play around with Gossamer and see how it really does performance wise… The syntax similarities help make for a more painless two lan

All three points are erased by its ability to call Rust functions… It’s not a bad approach, in that for most general programming one doesn’t need those things. Granted, macros can be convenient.

It doesn’t have a garbage collector, it uses reference counting with a cycle detector. So, no GC pauses. It should be suitable for hard real time systems.

Ha, sure, not five years from now what about 10? Many times technological paradigm changes have been quite unexpected.

There are no scary vegans, but the humane harvesting of animals for food has occurred for millions of years. Consuming animal protein is also one of the healthiest things you can do for your body.

Neither trucks nor guns cause a single death. The people using them may cause deaths. It also should be pointed out that in many cases, both large vehicles and guns save lives. There is absolutely no denying that larger vehicles are safer i

No, they lost their state of the art missile and drone factories as well as all of their nuclear facilities. Not to mention their navy and Air Force… I’m pretty sure the “fresh and energetic leadership” won’t enjoy their positions if hostil

You’re anthropomorphising. Actual AI is like the Terminator. There’s no human feeling, it will do what it’s designed to do. No emotion, no remorse. Cue the swarming drones… :/

Access to space is almost infinitely valuable. It is literally the only way to retrieve extraterrestrial resources, which are effectively infinite. It also leads the way to extraterrestrial manufacturing, which will be a revolution!

It’s been confirmed that the entire crew perished, and sadly the max complement of eight was aboard. RIP!

The answer seems to be large, lightweight sunshades to protect the radiative coolers. That would avoid the degradation due to UV radiation mentioned in the article and would also increase the efficiency of the coolers.
