We thought that consciousness was the core of what made something worthy of moral consideration, because only life showed conscious behavior. Now we have machines that can output behavior indistinguishable from consciousness. I think that r

That CNN website is great, except it still has a huge cookie banner. Looking at the cookies of the site, I think the only cookie it sets is that i clicked on the banner. Most of the size of the page is also related to the banner it seems.

This is one of the best, succinct lists of motivations for hybrid warfare i've seen. But i could suggest another potential benefit for russia: If russia already operates under the assumption that they are in a (cold) war with EU/N

How does it solve for time without location? With GPS location and time are one solution to an equation with 4 unknowns (x,y,z,t). Without location you won't know the time delay between you and the transmitter.

I appreciate the effort you put in the comment, and úsed sources rather than just voicing unsubstantiated criticisms. But still, the mentality in this thread made me double-check if i'm on hacker news or bureaucrat news.

I have bought the new SQ probes and went back to only buying the older version. The new ones are heavier, but that makes it harder to put them at an angle, they fall over more quickly. And the probe heads are bigger so you can't put as

The hub motors on the car in the OP run at ~24k RPM (faster than any production electric car AFAIK) and have a multistage planetary gearbox for reduction. Pretty much all top Formula Student cars now use hub motors. Mainly for packaging rea

Super capacitors are highly overrated by the general public. They really aren't that much better than lithium ion except for in a very narrow power/time bandwidth.

The strangest thing to me is that apparently this material has been developed years ago, the video of a piece floating was uploaded 3 months ago, and apparently it's easy to produce more samples, but the papers still reads like they ha

Reddit going downhill is mostly because they are trying to become more like Meta. A competitor should be less meta, not more meta.

I think the original goal, and one I still support, is for websites to realize that they are better off with not showing the banners and just defaulting to "no". It's been surprising to me that an industry that has been somew

When I tried waymo a month or two ago a remote "driver" took over. When we called the support center about it later they told us that it's not them literally taking over the controls, but only giving some additional guidance

You are probably European? The US uses CCS1 which doesn't support 3 phase anyway.

The problem for san Francisco is that they just attract more homeless whenever they try to help them. You can not solve poverty in a single city with open borders, you need to solve it for the whole state/country. Especially if the cit

The program in the article linked is specifically targeted to some of the poorer neighborhoods in Amsterdam. These neighborhoods are known for them being largely inhabited by the descendants of former slaves and colonized people from the fo

"Sydney" clearly wasn't well suited to the task it was given. But I hope these early widespread LLM's will be saved somewhere and at some point released to the public. It feels like we are at the start of a new chapter

There is one thing that might point towards Russia blowing up their own pipeline: Before the pipes were destroyed completely, the Russians were coming up with all sorts of strange excuses for why they were reducing the amount of gas deliver

I wonder how much value there would be in having some level of dissimilar redundancy in (soon to be) NATO air forces. All NATO countries having fleets of the F35 makes us vulnerable to any kind of weakness or bug that adversaries are able t

All these proposed strategies to live with variable storage only work for short term variability, in places close to the equator. In my country, there is an almost 10x difference on solar energy between Summer and Winter. While (domestic) e

Twitter gave a firehose access to just about everyone who asked in 2010. My university used to do all sorts of data science experiments with Twitter data around 2012.

A lot of industry like datacenters and vehicles are moving to 48V. 48V is right on the limit of what is considered low-voltage and therefor doesn't have special safety requirements. And because it's a multiple of 12V, it can work

A part of why gas prices are so high right now in the EU, is because of ETS (emission trading scheme) prices. EU industry has to buy CO2 emission rights, and the prices are at an all time high right now, causing coal plants to stop producti

Those kind of comments are not paid comments, but just a way to get spam links on a site. My personal website (which has comments hidden, but clearly the API still works) is completely filled with comments like that.
