Manned missions have always been a budgeting headache because they take a lot of money, a lot of time, and a consistent Congress, the last one rarer than the Holy Grail. US unmanned probes are more often on budget and have been quite successful overall.
("Manned" sounds misogynistic, but "humanned" and "peopled" sound awkward.)
Well played sir. Could only be funnier if it were signed by an AI.
Is that a joke based on reading the article? You should know that never happens around here... Or maybe not, looking at the UID.
However the story has big potential for funny, so I'll check for details at 11.
Anecdotal evidence: In my dotage I often take a morning nap and it doesn't seem to affect me whether or not I drink coffee with breakfast. But I may have some kind of REM sleep disorder...
Probably because Ctrl-Shift-V and Ctrl-V would be reversed in a sane GUI world.
Look up Richard Dodi and Paul Bennewitz if you want real evidence about how they will dispose of ordinary citizens for their military psyop campaigns.
It's a "UFO Story" but literally nobody investigating the phenomena believes that it was a real UFO story.
Still, a smart American entrepreneur died at the hands of military intelligence.
Dodi is now "on the UFO circuit" giving talks to chumps.
> the fact that killing off all mosquitos
Literally nobody is proposing this.
is to keep quiet about it.
...why focus on just AI? Liars have been around since the dawn of speech, and long before that if we include creatures who mock sounds and looks to trick prey.
Basically the ACK with at least some concurrence, but I wonder (again) how long this discussion might have gone on if Slashdot allowed for persistent topics. Some topics are fundamentally too deep to discuss meaningfully in a the standard time unit of Slashdot. (Basically one day until it falls off the front page.)
You could replace "mosquitoes" in that headline with polio, smallpox, measles, AIDS, malaria, or any one of a thousand different pathogens. No one is agonizing over eradicating them.
Except RFK Jr.
But it will generate generations of buzzwords for salespeople to dupe clueless managers with. It's a sales efficiency algorithm. It's like greatly improving on a traveling salesperson algorithm, but by using deeper bullshit instead of better routes.
Hypercard influenced VB, one of the most most productive dev tools ever. We somehow de-evolved into bloated buggy learning-curve-heavy web stacks. Ooga Booga.
Most of the complaints about VB-like tools are fixable, but too few bothered to apply some R&D, instead throwing the baby out with the web water, giving us fucked up frameworks on top of the brain-damaged DOM and CSS. You humans are doing it wrong.
Git off my productive lawn, you wormy little buzzword fuckers!
If God is perfect, why did He create discontinuous functions?
