So is getting that computer up into space, keeping it there, and running, and returning to service in the inevitable case of failover.

...All of which seems a little silly in comparison to setting up some solar powered, battery backuped wireless radios/beacons, and establishing a localized coordinate grid, no extraterrestrial equipment required.

Or is cutting out a tractors width of field around all beacons enough to render a farmer uncompetitive as well?

I just resent the implication that just because we have GPS satellites, that those are the only form factor such a solution can take. I always saw satellite GPS as A) a quick global win for the public and B) sort of an incentive to keep iterating on rocketry in parallel with establishing similar terrestrial nav gridding.

I don't think it is wise to just not establish terrestrial nav grids because GPS. Always, always, always build redundancies.

If I were trying to cause the most damage with AI I'd make something akin to the 2016 Russian election interference machine:

> The Internet Research Agency (IRA), based in Saint Petersburg, Russia and described as a troll farm, created thousands of social media accounts that purported to be Americans supporting radical political groups and planned or promoted events in support of Trump and against Clinton. They reached millions of social media users between 2013 and 2017. Fabricated articles and disinformation were spread from Russian government-controlled media, and promoted on social media.[1]

With an LLM and a few thousand dollars I imagine you could replicate what previously took the resources of a country to execute. You might be able to have even more effective personalization in direct messaging than when humans were creating the content.

> But it'll probably take 10-20 years regardless of when we get good batteries because it'll take a long time to design and certify the aircrafts.

I'm wondering if large aircraft companies are actually already designing the next aircraft based on assumed battery densities? I know they put out press releases with nice looking renderings, but I am talking about serious development?

If you wait until you have the batteries on hand, and then spend 20 years to design a plane (and 20 years might be conservative, since arppovals will be harder to get for a brand new concept), you might be left behind. Instead, they could be already designing the plane and when 500Wh/Kg is available, boom, they are 15 years ahead.

I also agree they're better (probably coincidence that I was raised in a society and education system praising them nonstop). But to what lengths are you willing to go to impose them on people who don't want them?

How’s the coverage of your carbon accounting for different purchase types? For example AWS services vs business travel expenses?
FWIW, information regulation has been an aspect of how things are done online since at least Web 2.0. Google has an intricate fabric of policy-modifiers to tweak what people can and cannot see based on their geolocation, up to and including the details of national boundaries. Twitter, pre-Musk, had "banned in Germany" / "banned in France" flags on tweets and accounts that were even API-accessible (which was kind of neat; they served as a proxy signal for "Not saying this guy's a Nazi, just saying Twitter has found it legally expedient to suppress his ability to broadcast his thoughts to people in Germany").

... but the services that we'd expect to be mature enough to support those levels of nuance are starting to fall over on their asses, and that's concerning. Midjourney's a bit of an outlier (and, not to be a conspiracy theorist, but given Hotz's attitude on the topic I think it'd be worth it to follow the money on them). But Twitter, in particular, has seen a massive backslide. I always thought their ultimate goal was untenable (one flat, mass public forum is probably not a viable model for human interaction), but under Musk's dictat it has utterly imploded.
For a normal, new car, anything above 6l/100km for that size of a car (and usually around 5) is something's wrong with the car. That's more than twice the efficiency of described one from 1976.

If the smartest young people in your country have to move abroad or work remotely for foreign companies in order to make the most of their skills, then your country and society is a total failure - ask me if you want, I'm from one of those places.
The point of this article isnt to disagree with their insular close mindedness & lack of ability to process criticism or satire.

The point is that because of economics we keep letting their conservative close minded views dictate what happens in the Western Democratic world. These conservative authoritarian approaches should have no quarter here, go against the values & rights the creators & owners of these sites arose from & should be supporting.

It's a sad development & China should be the one having to eat tough shit.

Media literacy doesn't mean applying some rough heuristic that the "true" motive is the most selfish/embarrassing spin you can dig up.

There's perhaps an interesting 3rd option aside from full stored procedures vs pure application code transformating data pulled down from database... where the processing and transformation is still handled with SQL, but this code and the interaction with the database resides in application code. So instead of triggers and stored procedures, you have database transactions defined in and called from application code.

Somewhere I saw a project where someone made a new motherboard for a 99/4A so it would fit in a mini-itx case and tweaked the ROM so you could add an external PS/2 keyboard. After buying the board, you bought an original 99/4, yanked the chips out and used them to populate the new board.

I don't know if that really counts as "new hardware" but it was an interesting idea and was supposedly very compatible.

Or maybe I dreamed that.

The entire point of the article is that it's way harder to stop the proliferation of software than hardware. Once you're back in the hardware space traditional controls work just fine (or, at least, as well as they ever worked).
> Having a high BMI and a low body fat percentage means that you are likely composed of a lot of muscle weight. I would think that this would correlate highly with physical strength, which I would also think is something we would want for our fighting forces.

It's complicated.

I'm sure that military members are, on average, more muscular than civilians. But they're not typically very jacked compared to body builders or powerlifters.

Moderate strength with high endurance (e.g. crossfit) is much more useful in combat than high strength but low endurance (e.g. powerlifting).

And moderate strength with high endurance doesn't typically result in huge muscles.

Having spent some time in the military, this generally aligns with my observations. Sure - there's some people who are jacked. But most people - even really elite guys - look pretty unassuming.

Technology companies seem to have a chronic problem with consent. And when regulation drops in, they do everything they can to cry, complain, deceive, work-around, weasel-out, ignore, and fight against consent. If the web was a nightclub, Silicon Valley would be the creepy guy that hits on every woman with "Do you want to dance with me? [Yes] [Ask Me Again In Five Minutes]."

It's embarrassing how out of control the industry is, how toothless regulators are, and how outraged companies are when something finally forces them to simply ask users permission to do things.

Headline is misleading, Google hasn't banned anybody, just restricting free tiers from running a particular distribution of Stable Diffusion on Colab.

I've always been amazed that Colab just hands out GPU compute for free to anybody that wants one. Obviously if you hand out free stuff that's expensive elsewhere (vast.ai charges at least 10cents/hr for a K80, colab runs for 12hrs, that's $1.2 in value to every free tier user) then they're gonna use it, so restrictions only make sense.

Open society is far more than the US. 43% of the nations of the world are democratic according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#By_regime_ty....

To me the biggest concern with AI weapons is not cyberwarfare (which has been QUITE underwhelming so far despite all the theoretical potential), nor even the potential loss of control over AI weapon systems.

What worries me the most are the economics of AI based warfare: How long would it have taken, in retrospect, for the US to get out of Vietnam if no price in American blood had been due at any point?

The potential to violently reign over a population (no longer need to recruit police/soldiers FROM that population to enforce your rule!) is really concerning, too.
