I wonder how long it will take for someone to get rich enough to be able to send their own private interstellar space missions. America's super wealthy are getting very rich. At this rate we will have multiple people with a trillion do

Have to remind myself every time that the bright headlights would actually make me blind instead of flashing for a second.

My guess is that the average population of car drivers is aging. With age comes worse eyesight and and the ability to see in the dark. So a lot of people are probably more comfortable with having brighter headlights.

I feel like this begs another question. If there are proven approaches and well established practices of professionals how good would chatgpt be in that profession? After all chstgpt has a vast knowledge base and probably knows a good amoun

Yeah I had a few servers look up on me without any clear way to recovery because some app was eating up ram. I am ok with the server coming to a crawl as soon as the swap has to be used but at least it won't stop responding all togethe

You only need to defend the easy to reach parts. So the base and the cargo pod. To hit the upper parts you need advanced rockets and targeting systems.

The issue of the line falling back to earth is solved by putting the base of the elevator on water. If the top part of the elevator was cut of you could even detonate charges along the line to make sure all pieces fall into water.

But the overall crime rate is lower no? Less people experience or are affected by crime if the average goes down.

>But our society doesn’t celebrate those people like they do the latest AI engineer. He fails to mention that AI engineers probably get 4x the pay with a job that is less physically demanding.

But it would probably makes economic sense. A big cost of delivery is the personal that actually does the delivery. It might not be viable for all packages but probably for the premium delivery that promises sub 1 hour delivery.

There is a risk in hiring expertise. What if the idea turns out to not work? What if the company decides to not pursue the idea any further? Now you already hired and trained a bunch of people that are now useless.

Total energy need is not equal to total electricity need. And electricity is a lot more expensive then heating energy. So the cost savings can still be significant.

I heard a few years ago that China was building up to two new coal power plants every week causing huge amounts of pollution. Looks like they still do. Yes they scale up renewable energy but what good is that if fossil fuel power generation

My theory as a none scientist is that you need a different part of the brain to think about AI prompts compared to coding yourself. Or maybe that whatever though process you need for coding intersects with the part that enjoys listening to

Cloudflare does allow bots to scrape sites. But in this case cloudflare was alerted by customers that there setting to disallow ai companies to access there site was not working. People pay cloudflare to specifically block perplexity bots.

Maybe the issue is that people assume that a randomly selected population would consist of US citizens. What if you picked Japanese? They did well during covid. An they are know for having a strong communal responsibility. Maybe the average

I don't see why smaller societies should not be able to thrive. My grandparents said once that back in the day you could identify what rural village someone was from by their accent. Meaning populations inside of villages changed very

You cannot assume a Chinese person to be a Chinese state actor just for being Chinese. But you can assume a North Korean citizen to be a state actor as by definition he is only leagally allowed to be outside of North Korea as a state actor.

They are. Pop-ups to allow consent are required to be small enough so usability of the site is not impaired as long as the user has not decided yet. Websites just gamble on the fact that any extra profits they make offset the cost of fines.
