The full title of the video is, "Dr. Bob Abernethy Never Told Tales of Blackbirds U2s and Roadrunners the Golden Age of Aerospace". I couldn't fit that so I hope this is a reasonable su…

"Is that the case, though?" Hard to make a case in 2026 that you can be oblivious to the potential of AI to do unexpected things that could impact other people. "Did people know the mac…

But if you told an embodied AI to do a home cleaning task knowing it's a possibility it will decide to pick up a gun and start spraying bullets, then society has an interest in holding you liab…

Central NJ (if you believe it exists) is cheaper depending on the particular town but yeah, not being given away by any means. https://www.zillow.com/home-values/11267/edison…

[1] is... a read (sounds like a nightmare student, or research prof, or both). A dumb question but by my reading, that work took place 35 years ago, has there not been anything more relevant since the…

I work in the public sector and my work supports public health and safety initiatives. What does "support" mean in this context?

So if millions of people pay for something it must be helping average people but if 10s of millions of average people express concerns about a thing than what? I would assume since you were happy to g…

"I understand the frustration with the constant PR-hype these AI labs keep spewing out" Apparently you don't. "These are real problems mathematicians and computer scientists have b…

The framing of this entire issue is just wrong. "Today the reflex is back." To do what? Ban export of AI? Are you sure? Because it seems, so far, there has been some personal motivated gover…

I'm not sure what sanctions you are thinking about but generally if you want to be beyond the legal reach of a nation state or group of nation states, you just set up a server in a different nati…

The one thing I enjoy about our AI goldrush driven economy is all the cartoonish cash grabs coming out of the woodwork to try and part investors from their money. 1. 4-5x faster deployment than on lan…

I'm not a scholar of Greek history but as layman, I thought it was good and good enough to recommend. Visually it is quite beautiful and despite what the review states it does have an ethical thr…

Is their "greyness" between gambling and day trading? Sure. Prediction markets are obviously, blatantly, gambling. There is no "greyness", we've skipped the slippery slope and…

Look what they've become? You mean look at what they have been from the get go? The corrupting influence they are having on society has been obvious from the start and was predicted by anyone wit…

"The purpose of a college degree is NOT a job" Check the marketing literature for any college and you will find that is not true. The only people doing degrees for knowledge and prestige are…

Just to add, the primary failure mode of critical jet engine components is fatigue. To see, and thus learn, from fatigue failures in the field you need thousands of components flying thousands of hour…

It's kinda opposite in a way. More countries make military engines than commercial engines because military engines don't have to worry as much about efficiency, pollution, sound, and most i…

I strongly believe college is oversold but mostly because kids are told they just need to get "any degree", which is a blatant lie. It can totally be worth it if you are objectively looking …

But a big reason people only stay two years because we have had decades of companies gutting every incentive to stay somewhere longterm. Whether or not companies should or shouldn't in their part…

Weak junior hiring is due to: - Longtime trends of companies trying to externalize training costs. - Avoiding hiring in general due to uncertainty in the economy. - Companies dumping tons of money int…

No, the average worker does not live to work. The average shareholder and executive lives to extract every ounce of work possible out of the average workers.

It seems like the outcome options are: 1. AI is developed to be smart enough to actual replace people, destroying the labor force and immensely concentrating power. This seems like bs hyperbole but I …

For people looking for an alternative, Proton Pass is one, Keepass + Syncthing is another.

Unfortunately and for certain.

It's funny that this is a question when every college STEM class is taught by people who have degrees that have absolutely nothing to do with being able to teach effectively.

When you underpay teachers, people who hate teaching, and hate being teachers, will become teachers because all the people that had better options did something else.

There's a post earlier linking to someone doing that for a Tacoma
