It was all over the second Google changed their motto from “don’t be evil”.

I always find the same study referenced, which was good science but also almost 30 years old. I wonder if this is still true for modern batteries?

Do you though? I mean, a satellite orbiting the sun between the earth and the sun could cast a large shadow, right?

One thiest view of morality is that it is arbitrary, so literally anything that God does is good because that is what goodness is.

What an amazing song, thanks!

I mean, we call the software that runs computer players in games AI, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

License plate readers? Facial recognition? Speech recognition?

Europeans caused massive death in the Americas. I do not think we should replicate that model.

Also, the chance is small, but there might have been a separate biogenesis (beginning of life) on Mars. Sending humans with our dirty microbiome would almost certainly wipe any evidence of that, and possibly cause an extinction of an entirely separate form of life, which would be a crime even more horrible than the extinctions and genocides which we have caused so far.

Let’s just leave Mars alone until we’ve studies it more and are certain there is no life. Colonizing the moon seems challenging enough for a couple centuries…

It had too little memory, but was clearly a step towards phone perfection. I am still bitter that Nokia hired a Microsoft loyalist who killed the Linux line … shortly before killing the whole company.

I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.

The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…

A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.

So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.

This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆

This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.

He was asked if he has an age limit. Misunderstanding the question about what his maximum age would be, he replies that he wouldn’t be like a Congressman who had sex with 12 year olds.

He said 12 is too young for him.

I’m not the person you’re asking but surely they just told the compiler to treat warnings as errors after that. No warnings can creep in then!
