then let it die.

It's computing for satellite customers not for ground based customers. I believe the idea is to allow space based sensors to communicate with the in-orbit AI to help monitor for interesting events. Getting data from a sensor satellite directly to a ground station is a difficult problem that can delay interesting data by hours waiting for it to fly over a ground station. You are also bandwidth limited which limits how much data you can send. If you can send the data to this cluster on demand for processing in orbit you can analyze it and only send the interesting data back to earth. And since it's a cluster that can talk to each other you can send it from node to node to a satellite that is already over a ground station shortening the data deliver as well.

This was me. I was around 7 or 8 when I saw it. Our family had gotten our first computer. I think a VIC-20 and this movie fired my imagination. It was part of what pushed me into computer science. Loved the movie as a kid. I'm almost afraid to watch the movie again to ruin the childhood nostalgia. Definitely won't watch the sequel. Star Wars was utterly ruin for me by the first sequel.

Also curious what type of scientists. That would be interesting.

Totally agree, don't need a quantum computer to do this. Worked with a company in 2000 which built a random number generator with a laser, a mirror, and a photon detector, we also certified it's results. Not a big deal, been done for decades.

Honestly copyrights need to be a quicker removal from software that is written for a specific hardware platform that is no longer in production, I'm thinking like 5 years.

The mid-range phone is just an 2 year old high-end refurbished phone. It falls into that $200-$400 price range. Advantage is that you can know before hand whether the model is reliable because it's two years old and if it had problems the reviews have plenty of time to reflect it.

No it's not the company's "social responsibility" it's the parent's responsibility to make sure their children are taken care of.

That seems pretty small compared to the physical, mental, social and economic loss that could be attributed to people playing their games in general.

This is the real problem. That it will enable a small set of morally corrupt elites to wage war without any checks. At least in a conventional war you people actually fighting the war act as a partial check. You still have to convince the human pilots, drivers, and operators that your war has some legitimate reason for being fought. Even if the reasons for the war might be stretched, or made up. It still raises the difficulties and slows things down somewhat.
But if AI even enable a very small set of people to wage a full scale war, the wars will happen much more frequently and for much worse reasons.

Domain knowledge is not overrated. Not that you have to know everything about it before hand, but learning the domain knowledge is absolutely key to communicating effectively with your customers, and developing products that meet your customer's needs. Without domain knowledge you just a cog and because of that highly replaceable. When you have domain knowledge you can not only code what is asked, but actually innovate to make tools that the customer didn't know they wanted.

Because that is the culture of Hollywood, dark, depressed... Is it that hard to determine? It's just culture. Yes, I know I didn't read the article, and it's not metaphoric darkness, but...

I think one of the flaws about the podcast business model is the assumption that the show can or should last indefinitely. There seems like very few podcasts that would fit within this paradigm. Maybe sports commentary, news, etc. But most would just exhaust their subjects within a short time. Maybe a year or two at most.

It seems like it would be advantageous for the industry to model a little more around how TV works. Meaning creating seasons of programs that have a planned end. Also learning how to promote new offerings over old offerings to make more room for new programs.

The irony of this sentence is staggering: ""TikTok is China's backdoor into Americans' lives. It threatens our children's privacy as well as their mental health," he said on Twitter."

It's seems crazy, but living in UT I've seen huge natural gas pipe lines going over 7000+ mountains. I suspect that the it's not as difficult as it seems at first.

As a test case the boring company could be contracted to drill a tunnel to death valley and make that a shallow inland sea. No pump needed... The lake effect from that would be interesting. Probably raise the rain fall all over the west.
