I think a lot of them are freaking out about how to keep their servants and security loyal in the bunkers. Your bunker seems like a great idea until your head of security starts cutting off your fingers and won't stop until you give him all the codes and combinations to the safe.
We've lost half the world's corals in 50 years.
That's actually a right-wing myth. The government never "ordered" them to do that. They did it out of greed.
Everything you said is correct except the penguin thing. Some penguin species are dependent on sea ice, and they have been declining because of that.
Arctic summer ice is down 50% in only like 50 years. Most of the historic Mt. Kilimanjro snow cover is gone. The predictions are coming through.
You're a liar, of course, when you exaggerate what those predictions were. But you're lying out of fear and anger because you know you have been wrong, that it's getting clearer that you've been wrong, and you know it's eventually going to be so clear that even the mentally deranged in this country who don't believe in climate change will finally realize they're wrong. And it will happen soon enough that you will still be around and people you know will remember how stupid you were.
Mod parent funny-not-really-funny.
But the SCOTUS disagreed with you by creating absolute presidential immunity out of nothing.
I know it's silly to contemplate solutions in the context of Slashdot, whatever it has devolved into, but I keep thinking about that new recusal thing: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two junior partisan Justices to recuse themselves." I think that could create the incentive to go upstream in fixing the problem, whereas every other solution proposal I've seen simply accepts the underlying problem as incurable.
Clarifications in response to polite requests, though I'd actually prefer to see a better solution approach that has a better chance of being implemented. (I think the most likely path to the recusal rule would basically require an escalation of political threats... I'm not saying "That trick never works", but it's always a dangerous path.)
And the new PS5 Pro is $900. Fucking ridiculous, but not just XBox.
c/it's writing/it's worth writing/
I suppose my main point about AI would be that people want oracles and AI is just the latest version of that. I'm saying (or trying and failing to say) that's a bad idea, but don't feel like it's writing another summary of my latest experiment with Pearl Harbor and Midway... However, the AIs are changing so rapidly and one of the main objectives is to make them appear to be better oracles.
On slashdot.jp I could sort of read most of it, especially since it was largely echoing this website, but I can't write decently in Japanese so I lost interest without the interactivity.
Brings back the memories, both for the store and my old memories of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables.
I think you'd be better off to write more briefly and with tighter focus. I put some effort into trying to figure it out, but decided some of it doesn't make sense and some of it is just talking about evolutionary modules. Just now halfway through What is Thought? where he is taking the position that much of human intelligence is encoded in DNA in the form of modules that worked for certain kinds of evolutionary challenges.
You're so cute when you're naive and blathering. And your grammar wears funny army boots, too.
Basically the ACK, but I'm sure none of the tomatoes I've seen in the last half of my life were from Florida.
My friends had trouble believing it when I did it, especially since I was basically jumping without knowing where or how I was going to land. I remember at the little quasi-garage (no garage involved) sale where I was disposing of the last of my stuff that one of my programmer friends bought my toolbox because he thought I would want it again when I returned... Never say Dave or his partner Frank again... (But it bothers me I can't remember the name of the woman who was really the key to keeping Omega in business... After she got married and left the company...)
While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery.
