They are going to use this doomerism for regulatory capture and make running your own open source agent illegal - the excuse will be it can get out of control, so the only secure way to run is centralised on their infra structure, with a si

So called “rich countries” don’t even have food self-sufficiency. The only countries near that goal today are China, Vietnam, Brazil a close second.

Social media is weaponised thought control. The new generation is being forced out of viable useful jobs to turn into so called “content creators”. Don’t participate in it, and delete it from kids and parents devices if possible.

Unfortunately this slows down adoption of renewables even more, China produces most of world’s renewables and batteries but bootstraps this industry with oil.

It's believed China managed to halve oil imports due to large (undisclosed) reserves, emergency public policies and overdriving coal use, but this can't last. China is also extremely dependent on Russian oil, which is a country at

The new US policy under Trump is giving up trying to win the world and instead focusing on internal market and dominance over the American continent. Causing and sustaining friction everywhere is aligned with this policy. This is the result

Skin tones are particularly difficult to pin down, besides the pigmentation there are two effects at play: 1) sub surface scattering (light goes thru and bounces under the skin a bit) and 2) some infra-red emission (the responsible for maki

This Pandora box is already open. Any argument about guardrails now are only attempts to create an artificial monopoly or keep this power in the hand of a single nation state, and _that_ is the absolute worst, most authoritarian future poss

There's money now to _build_ these massive data centers. If there is long-term money to operate, we'll see. It might mean we'll get cheaper cloud compute in the future, but I'm also positive on the market's ability

It's inevitable. The value proposition of the software isn't large enough to justify (by itself) the valuation. Not to mention it's trained on lots of public or scraped data. It's a gold rush, and the only guy getting ri

In the old times, I bought a Nokia smartphone (5230) because it shipped with offline maps – Nokia had the license for satellite data before Google Maps existed. I also drive a VW with built-in GPS and map loaded from SD card. Offline maps a

I understand that, but I would expect distant LEO satellites to appear close to the horizon, such that a relatively small aperture in the orbits would allow for a large cone of clear sky near the ground.

Should it be possible to coordinate orbits to create permanent clear spots on the sky where observatories are? A LEO no flight zone of sorts.
