Geez, at least they had a sense of style and pose back then. The ding dongs we have now look like they just got out of class and are heading to the cafeteria to make fun of the foreign exchange students.

But for the lulz, what was its response and why was it more than 1 word? (I have yet to see a non single purpose driven Instruct AI actually adhere to the single word directive on a complex topic.)
Surprised Pikachu face
But in all seriousness. Always looked at them as Middle Class version of payday loans. Never would have considered one but gosh darn… If things don’t improve I can see myself begrudgingly getting one for something I need.
Didn’t the US do that in Vietnam? Issue an evacuation order to an area and then declared anyone remaining an enemy combatant?
As a salaried employee. i demand that i get tipped my salary
Now to get me to resubscribe, get rid of all that ridiculous TLC, Discovery channel bullhsit. I ain’t gonna subsidize that shit.
Dude, top ten expositions of all time. Up there with the importance of pizza delivery.
I mean say what you want, but thats legit how new tech is being developed right now. My favorite book is Cryptonomicon. It came out in 1999, But the premise was that the main characters were going to build a currency backed on cryptography. There was even a side story in the book where one of the man characters is looking for a specific investor who is obsessed with trading cards. The main character sells the investor on the idea by saying how the technology could easily be adapted for distributing digital trading cards.
The dude basically predicted Bitcoins and the rise of NFTs in 1999.
Lol, Interestingly enough. The hacker who steals the book realizes that each copy he makes can’t have a ractor so he substitutes it with a computer generated voice. I distinctly recall him acknowledging that it’s not as personal as a ractor but is adequate enough for the purpose.
Everyday we get closer to the book The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson where the main character has stolen from him a book he created called, “A Young Ladies Illustrated Primer” The thief turns out to be a hacker and mass produces copies of the book for orphans.
The book itself is an AI that assess the users surroundings and intelligence level before creating stories that are relevant to the user that also educates them.
I can see this being a net positive if done correctly. But I don’t think the tech is there yet.
Here is the neat part. ATC controllers in training needed a huge bump in recruiting numbers 10 years ago. These jobs aren’t something you can pull people off the street to do. There can be zero mistakes, trainees need to be vetted and undergo tons of hours in training and education to be experienced enough to work unsupervised in the tower.
I reckon we are past the point of no return with the current system. Either we are going to see a reduction in operational airports or we are gonna see a lot more automated systems directing traffic.
Lets also not forget that this is peanuts compared to the national budget even if it was true.
I am not saying to cut the national defense budget but can you imagine the low hanging fruit that can be gained just doing an audit.
Surely banning homeless encampments will solve the homelessness problem.
Is it bad that things are so bad that this is a win win? like, chance of it being built with Boeing quality? Win. Bugged? Still better than Signal so win. Foreign adversaries threat that uniquely only affects those on board the plane? win with some collateral damage.
I am not seeing a downside
Am I misreading the article? They are using rockets to ship payloads anywhere in the world in the span of a few hours.
I initially thought nukes too. But why “ship” nukes using this? An ICBM is already the preferred mode of shipping a nuke to an intended target anywhere in a few hours. Rods of god don’t make sense either since they are kinetic weapons and need to be dropped from orbit.
I guess, this could make organ donations an international effort at some point.
I honestly can’t think of a single situation where completely discreet orbital payloads costing a billion dollars makes sense.
Even if the payload is split up into dozens of cube satellite like payloads. what on earth is valuable enough to send and keep in orbit but disposable enough that it burning up in the atmosphere is not the end of the world?
Isn’t Israel known for its tech firms making phone security bypass tech (I.E. NSO Group and their Pegasus SW?)
Engineer here. You’re salaried but treated like an hourly employee. You get paid to work 40 hours a week but get “told” that working less than 45-50 hours a week makes you a slacker. Your exempt which means you don’t get a mandatory 30 minute unpaid lunch or a paid 15 minute break every 4 hours. Vacation time is normally unlimited but requires manager approval so if you get the old “boomer” type that drank the corporate cool aid, good luck getting any more than 2 weeks worth approved regardless of years at company.
Sorry I digress, My job starts at 8:00 but I slide in to the daily standup at around 8:10. No one notices or cares. Afterwards, I get a cup of coffee, catch up on vital correspondence and questions from overseas coworkers. It’s sometime between 8:30 and 9:45 That I realize the Bangalore Software team sent out an emergency meeting at 11PM last night for 5AM This morning. “Oh well” I think to myself and sip on my coffee catching up on what I missed. Turns out one of them forgot to plug in a machine. They crack me up.
From 9:45 to 10:00, I have conditioned my body to take a shit. I time it for exactly 10 minutes. My second one is precisely times for between 4:00PM and 4:15PM. I figure those two times are freebies to my 9.5 hour forced work schedule. Upon returning, from my “break” I begin to actually work.
I design things using CAD software cool stuff. I am content by 10:10AM I have my headphones on, I am doing what I actually went to school for. I begin to think this is entirely worth all the other stuff I put up with. I get in the zone and time flies.
Its, 10:25AM. There was an emergency on the production floor. They tell me its a problem they have never seen before. They assure me they have taken all the proper diagnostic steps have been taken and I need to look at whats wrong to prevent a line stop.
I think, “its go time” I follow the techs down to the line and start diagnosing the problem. In no time at all, I find that they never checked the test wiring despite that being like in the first 5 steps of diagnosing a problem. I head back to my desk. Its 2PM by now, I microwave my lunch and work through it. Distractions happen maybe I get an accumulated total of an hour or two of design work done before its 6PM and I head home.
Yup…… You could tell me to switch jobs but every company I work for in my line of work is just like this.
Yeah, they got cloudflare running on their domain so even a bridge won’t help for that specific site. Depending on what you are using it for you can find alternatives with more RSS friendly sites. RSS-Bridge can track music releases through apple music even if you don’t use apple music. I am pretty sure you can find alternative sites for other types of media releases.
I find this the best place to find RSS feeds that just work with out bridges:
Please let it be stupidly implemented such that I can convince the AI to pay me to fly Delta. (IMHO, how are they even a big airline player? I give it they are a step above Spirit but that’s all they got)
