That's domestic flights in the UK which are stupidly short. Short and long haul flights are at 150g which is already less than ICE cars at ~170 and not far above the average bus at 100g. Though obviously no where near electrified rail.
Just when gas prices were spiking and countries that were heavily invested into nuclear were making massive profits and their citizens spared the worst of the price increases, I was reminded of Cameron cancelling the new generation of nuclear power plants in ~2010 as they wouldn't be ready until 2022.
its the Financial Times, they know exactly who they are charging that much, and those people will spend that about of money without even noticing its gone.
Mandatory conscription for a defensive only military is the best solution to defense imo. Professional armies tend to lead to poor young people doing a disproportionate share of the dying and encourage governments to use rhem abroad as they "signed up for it".
Ah yes, totally got me there with the obvious logical link between liberals over egging Trumps link with Russia → no state has ever or will ever try to push narratives on the internet.
That's nonsense, even if you pretend Taiwan is a part of China, which is clearly nothing more than a useful fiction for all parties, there is a space even at the narrowest point of the straight that is just EEZ. Which is a region that is free to navigate but the host country has exclusive rights to minerals, fishing etc within that region.
Humans were the best at weaving until looms came along, humans were the best at welding components together until industrial robots came along. Humans were the best at doing double entry accounting until digital computers came along.
I just don't see this current wave of AI of being any different than previous technological advances that became tools better at specific tasks than humans.
This is one-way, hunans don’t win back ground.
No they dont they open up new gound as technology increases the range of the possible, as the article talks about
One critical wild card is how many new jobs will be created by AI even as existing ones disappear. Estimating such job creation is notoriously difficult. But MIT’s David Autor and his collaborators recently calculated that 60% of employment in 2018 was in types of jobs that didn’t exist before 1940.
Its fine you guys: the Israelis have decided its legal for Israelis to burn down Palestinian houses that a Hamas fighter once stopped beside to tie his shoelaces.
Did you even read the paragraphs I pulled out, not even the article itself?
Then Compton abruptly switched perspectives, acknowledging that for some workers and communities, “technological unemployment may be a very serious social problem, as in a town whose mill has had to shut down, or in a craft which has been superseded by a new art.”
His whole point was technology does not reduce the amount of employment as a whole, but it can focus pain on particular communities that get displaced by technology. I just don't buy into the tech bro singularity cult that AI will grow at an exponential rate and replace everyone, AI will be a tool like any other - extending human capabilities but not replacing them entirely.
Not the OP, but yes it absolutely should. The idea you can legaly block someones creative expression because they are using elements of culture you have obtained a monopoly of is obscene.
We dont have anything that passes the Turing test. The test isnt just "does it trick people casually talking to it into thinking its a person" its can it decieve a pannel of experts deliberately try to tease out which one of the "people" they are talking to isnt a human.
AFAIK no LLM has passed a rigourious test like that.
If Russia was in a strong position now there would be no point trying to negotiate now when theres a 50:50 chance trump is in power next year and massively strengthens their hand.
jpgs are too large to include on the blockchain so instead links to hosting urls are used, how well do you think uploading video is going to go?
All an NFT does is prove this wallet created this token pointing to this URL and then it was exchanged with these other wallets at given times, none of that helps with truth verification. Unless you trust the veracity of whoever is doing the uploading of the footage, but if you trust them there is no need for a blockchain in the first place.
People are still trying to pitch nfts to do basic database functions in 2024? I thought we'd moved on from this.
All an NFT can do is trade a url between people, all it does is say "yup this is the url alright, and this person owns this ticket pointing at this url" it adds nothing to authenticating footage.
The problem there is the paradox of efficiency, making something more efficient ends up using more of it not less as the increase in use stimulated by the greater efficiency outweighs the reduced input used.
It is a fancy auto complete, just an incredibly fancy auto complete. In the same way that a computer that can run VR games, simulate the evolution of solar systems let you access something close to the sum total of human knowledge over the internet is a very fancy pocket calculator.
