Fair enough, you have to wonder if the human body will even be relevant in 5000 years.

This seems like about the only way interstellar travel could actually work. Freeze-drying living people for 5000 years seems like a long shot. But would we engineer machines to last that long and construct people on arrival? Seems awfully long. Also, would they be fully human after being raised or constructed by robots?

I guess deep-freezing eggs and sperm would be easier.

The only person bringing SpaceX into this is you.

Why does there have to be any comparison at all? Why does there have to be a perceived competition between what Blue Origin are doing here and what SpaceX are doing over there?

There is something broken in western news media and social media, in that everything simply *must* be a race or a competition, and if one entity in the perceived competition is behind then they shouldn't even bother - it doesn't matter that none of the actual entities themselves see themselves as being in a competition or race, they dont matter, its an external thing being forced on them by observers.

The concept that an entity can be entirely about their own milestones, rather than judging their progress by measuring against another entity, is rapidly becoming an impossibility in many peoples minds.

You see it all the time, with SpaceX being used as the thing to measure against - someone hops a rocket, oh but they are a decade behind SpaceX so why are they even bothering. Someone launches a new rocket but its not reusable, doesn't matter than it meets all the internal requirements of the project and the project sponsors, its not reusable so they are so far behind SpaceX so why are they even bothering. Blue Origin launches a sub-orbital rocket, entirely meeting their own internal goals, but its not orbital so they are so behind SpaceX, so why are they even bothering...

Not everything has to be a competition.

This article echos a lot of your reasons

• It's Just Really Expensive To Take Your Kids To The Movies These Days, Especially For Something New
• Elio Is Going To Be On Disney+ In A Few Months, So I'm Not Surprised If People Wait It Out
• The Delay And Marketing Didn't Really Help The Movie
• It Feels Like Elio Is More Of An Animated Movie For Parents, Which Isn't Necessarily A Bad Thing

The "just wait to stream it" part is not specific to this film, so questionable whether it explains the failure of this particular film. But still if Disney is hoping to make a whole bunch of money from this new money stream without impacting their legacy money streams at all, then they have another thing coming. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

It looks like this guy is the maestro of the Davinci Xi, which is the standard surgical robot

I had no idea how huge these things are.

They must have some really fancy attachments to get the dexterity (such as angle of approach) they would need. I can't imagine trying to change an oil filter shoved up behind a radiator with this...

Yep it sounds like they've gotten right up there with Oracle

They're still using VMWare, they just didn't pay for a new support license. The perpetual license they previously bought probably allows VMWare to audit compliance with it. So their choices may be, quickly re-engineer VMWare out of their systems, or bend over.

Yeah. "LLM users spent less time researching, exerted less effort..." from the summary could be restated as, "their productivity went up." Whether it's worth it to get more original insights would be heavily context-dependent.

It definitely will be rage porn. But conservatives have their beef with Facebook too, for labeling falsehoods and perhaps some censoring of posts during Covid? Not sure. But accusations of pro-Dem for sure.

In any case it's not happening yet, since the average age of cars on the road continues to increase:

Actually it astounds me that the average age of passenger cars on the road is now 14 years. It's difficult to believe.

Even Tesas had a normal 12v lead acid car battery until just a few years ago, even though of course it had its huge lithium battery from its inception. I guess even a "clean sheet" design is not actually a clean sheet below a certain level, when they need to re-use traditional components and designs.

Perhaps because XBox dropped below 3 million units sold last year, the lowest number in their history.

I like Waymo, they're the ones getting it done. I know they've partnered with Uber, but I hope it's not exclusive. Waymo's technology is about a million times more sophisticated than Uber. It will save many lives. I would like to see it be used more widely.

This is why we can't have nice things. I'd like to not carry a wallet, but I refuse to have my credit card arguing with me about what to buy.

if the energy they produce more than pays for themselves many homeowners lack the capital to install them or have other uses for that capital. If government created the means for people to finance them, then they could install them.

This was already done, but without the government. Many companies would offer to install panels on your roof and guarantee an immediate decline in your electricity expenses. Basically they extended you a loan for the panels and you paid them back monthly with part of your electricity costs. Or the company owned them and you leased them.

I think these companies have mostly died off. Not sure if the numbers didn't work, or customers just couldn't be bothered, or what.

Looks like they still are. Doesn't seem to be taking over though.
