Even if you didn’t read the article, the op helpfully included the first few lines, which say that although Honda had said they were studying rocket technology, they made no announcements about this launch until it had already occurred.
I think you’re misunderstanding the argument. I haven’t seen people here saying that the study was incorrect so far as it goes, or that AI is equal to human intelligence. But it does seem like it has a kind of intelligence. “Glorified auto complete” doesn’t seem sufficient, because it has a completely different quality from any past tool. Supposing yes, on a technical level the software pieces together probability based on overtraining. Can we say with any precision how the human mind stores information and how it creates intelligence? Maybe we’re stumbling down the right path but need further innovations.
Agreed. We don’t seem to have a very cohesive idea of what human consciousness is or how it works.
Other people replied, but to rephrase: the USB will not work with a car, and there will never be an adapter that will allow it to.
Instead you need a way to send the audio from the ipod headphone jack into your car stereo. Something like this.
It’s from the show “I think you should leave.” There’s a sketch where someone has crashed a weinermobile into a storefront, and bystanders are like “did anyone get hurt?” “What happened to the driver?” And then this guy shows up.
Interesting article for a few reasons. I didn’t realize how much Pakistan was reliant on Chinese military systems.
Very challenging situation. To me seems like the thing to focus on is lack of electoral legitimacy. Maybe I’m using the wrong frame of reference coming from a larger country, but $8 million a year for a country’s leadership expenses doesn’t seem overly expensive. But I do understand being mad to spend any money on people who haven’t been chosen by the country’s citizens.
If you read the article they seem to think it’s impressive. But you’re right, it would be interesting to know how this rate compares with other countries when they went through electrification.
I’ve seen more informative reporting from 404 media and others, Signal had more or less said they can’t guarantee security for third party apps. Which makes sense, I can’t guarantee a house I didn’t build is safe. The OP link also talks about how the hacked company is Oregon based, which is technically true that they’re registered there. But the reporting I had read indicated the company was founded and is run by a former Israeli security officer, and has offices in Israel.
Yes, that’s kind of what I was getting at - having this cloud browser thing would be significantly worse for privacy than even a smart phone.
Setting aside the financial management of the church, it’s one of the largest organizations in the world which tells people what the purpose of life is. Its members believe the person they’re selecting has authority from God to say what actions are right and wrong.
While I don’t personally believe that, hard not to see it’s a position of significant power and people have an interest in knowing or influencing the outcome.
Can you share what your reasons are for considering a dumb phone?
For me I’m probably not actually going to get one, but have idly thought about it. If I were to get one it would be to free me from the attention sink of web browsing and apps. So I don’t find it appealing to consider a dumb phone that still has web browsing but using some sort of work around.
No. Stop being a dick
Yeah, it says they’re charging him with something that has a max sentence of five years, seems like it would be a lot heavier if they could show he was planning to take action.
Sure you can. I think it’s wrong to murder people for no reason. I say something like “government should avoid baseless murder.” Maybe I’m offending people who have deeply held pro murder beliefs, but I’m right and they’re wrong.
I’m making a joke here, but to illustrate the principle that just because a country has some tradition or practice doesn’t mean it can’t be criticized. There is such a thing as objective reality.
And of course we have to recognize that we ourselves can be mistaken about the truth so it’s smart to practice a degree of humility and introspection when it comes to people we disagree with. Even so, I’m pretty comfortable saying that laws which imprison people for criticizing a king are counterproductive and harmful to a society.
The reason why free speech is a good idea is because it makes error correction possible. People come at subjects from all different angles, and inevitably someone will misjudge a subject, while a person approaching from another angle has an insight that would be helpful. In other words, people make mistakes, and if it’s illegal to point out a mistake it’s unlikely to be corrected. I don’t follow the Thai monarchy but I’m sure it’s made mistakes, and it should be legal to say so.
Sure, we’re in agreement as far as that goes. My point was just the commenter above me was indicating it should be common knowledge that Tesla self driving hits motorcycles more than other self driving cars. And whether their comment was about this or some other subject, I think it’s counterproductive to be like “everyone knows that.”
It’s helpful to remember that not everyone has seen the same stories you have. If we want something to change, like regulators not allowing dangerous products, then raising public awareness is important. Expressing surprise that not everyone knows about something can be counterproductive.
Going beyond that, wouldn’t the new information here be the statistics?
He’s a shit show, but SpaceX is still doing great. They have more launches per year than any other company or country. While they’ve had multiple launches explode recently, that’s their newer larger rocket where they’re still working out kinks.
If they can’t get that into shape eventually it could be a problem for the company, but their smaller rocket has a great record, reusable, a fraction of the cost of any other launch provider. Right now they’re the only game in town for the U.S. getting to the ISS.
I’d love to see Musk ousted, and more importantly to see real competition from other private launch providers. But don’t let Musk hate color your view of reality.
