  • Seems to me that such a system could be taken even further to also operate artificial appendages, a wheelchair, or even a MANTIS suit.

    I just hope that someone discovers a way to reverse sclerosis and neuropathic diseases soon so that none of this is still needed. But the more tools in our toolboxes the better.

  • So… nothing to stop those export tariffs on energy and steel now?

  • Why not announce it when you’ve done it? Intent only gets you so far.

  • Most Jews want to go to Israel about as much as most Anglo Saxons want to go to the US.

  • Notice it’s to protect Jewish organizations, not Jewish people.

    Apparently it is now antisemitic to speak out against an organization you disagree with, even ones that bear a strong resemblance to what would otherwise be labeled a terrorist organization.

    The problem of course is that there ARE antisemites out there mixed in with all the people upset with the US and Israeli governments.

  • Exactly. People see “AI” and think LLMs and diffusion models. Those are both probabilistic translation engines. They’re no more intelligent than an AC/DC converter, just a lot more complex.

    However, there are neural networks and sense arrays in the field of AI, and those are designed to replicate the process of thought.

    The real route to a thinking AI is likely a combination of the two, where a neural network can call on expert systems including translation engines to do the heavy lifting and then run a more nuanced decision tree over the results.

    Thing is, modern LLMs and diffusion models are already more complex than a single human mind can fully comprehend, so we default to internally labelling them as either “like us” or “magic”, even when we theoretically know them to be nothing but really deep predictive models.

  • So who is the new president? I’m hoping it’s someone with strong liberal roots.

  • I’ll second the SQL database here. Especially since most people who use a spreadsheet actually treat it as a database in the first place, and not as a way to lay out data in a 2D table.

    But if a hierarchical table is really what’s desired, any visual database interface should do the trick.

  • Love the socialism but hate the socialist.

    They’re calling out the hypocrisy of “conservatives” who depend on and appreciate social policies but then label anything they don’t like as evil socialism.

    American freedom of ignorance at its finest.

  • I hate to be the one to point it out to Trump, but a significant number of famous cards living in the US are actually Canadian. And if he deports them… well, then he won’t have them all, will he?

  • In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.

  • Pew’s latest study suggests that Trump would have won even if they all voted.

    Mostly because the majority of Americans seem to be OK with face eating leopards.

  • On the plus side, he found out all of this BEFORE entering the US, instead of entering and being abducted by ICE.

  • Lesson here: Don’t accept a plea deal if you’re not born in the US to US citizens, unless you’re OK to be deported when your plea deal ends.
