You could ride a long for while claiming to recognize people but have poor name recall by saying "Hey! It's you!" to everybody, but then they could slip in someone you could not have ever met.

Anyone who slavishly uses the serial (aka Oxford) comma, and anyone who slavishly doesn't use it will create unintended word readings. It depends on the context of what is being said and intended.

Its not a matter of who it is "on". It is a matter of intelligent handling of the affair from a HOSPITALITY company. This was an opportunity to build a good-will relationship with people staying at Marriot, which could be easily spun into a positive press event for the company.

But "enlightened capitalism" is a fiction it seems.

It is not the case that this involves a "Search For Antimatter" but rather for the fundamental explanation of why there isn't any loose in the Universe. We can make it, but only by creating an equal amount of normal matter so that they cancel out.

A well aged straw man army (being 40 years old). You would have trouble finding any actual documentary support for any of these claims (that you just made up).

That means there is unlimited demand for renewables and thus it will be impossible to saturate the market with renewables. This is not the argument he wants to get people to stop investing in renewables and invest instead in non-renewables which is what he seems to want (from TFS).

So AI is going to demand all the power we can produce in our lifetimes? What if we don't meet that "demand" and allocate the amount of power that its actual demonstrated contribution to the global economy justifies? Will "AI" get mad and punish us?

The claim is an economic absurdity. The LLM frenzy is right now 2 years and 11 months old (from the time of the public GPT release). Projecting AI power demand, oh 40 years in the future, based on the power demand increase over less than 3 years is ridiculous. The current AI datacenter building race is not going to continue to 40 years. There is no demonstrated necessary AI power demand for some level of economic value.

Yep. Imagine signing up to pay someone a subscription fee that you can get a night's sleep.

A reference to selling useless products to people.

Looking for health patterns that drug makers could use to target you for a sales pitch.

Correct: "The G-Drive couldn't have a backup system due to its large capacity," merely means "we were too cheap to provide a backup".

Very few of the Middle Managers, not nearly enough, are actually being burned.

Sounds your are not going to be receptive to the upcoming wave of products that automate your home "but with AI".

It is certainly a plausible idea, and could well be desirable. The key is the implementation which must take into account the constraints of reality (what are the sidewalk conditions?). Some of the problems - like knowing bad sidewalk spots - could be handled by developing delivery maps, which could be applied to these robots I expect. Unpredictable unexpected motion is a problem but could probably be fixed with motion control algorithms. Of course not all ideas that seem plausible actually work out in practice.

Wow. Just making up "economic history" because it sounds right to him, and no one ever tells him he is full of shit.

Thanks for admitting up front your laziness.

The most important thing to understand is that the whole mission is to explore in detail the surface of Mars in an area that has never been examined before. Although over time we want to rover to check out different areas as it continues its mission it has no need to get anywhere fast. Every meter of unexplored Mars surface is, at this point, as informative and unknown as every other meter. It is making detailed observations every centimeter of the way. NASA was never thinking -- "Oh we wish we could make this thing go a lot faster, but we just can't (gnashes teeth)"! They could in fact drive it faster than they have, or could have built it to go faster, it that somehow improved its ability to carry out its mission. The rovers are being driven in fact at less than 1% of their top speed on average as it is because their mission is not to get from place to place quickly -- it is to study everything carefully. Most of the time they are not moving at all, they are static observation platforms, and that is by mission design.
