Ideology is a tool, to say nothing of the people who adhere to it.

More than 350 million vertebrate animals are killed by human driven vehicles every year. In general, autonomous vehicles are much better than humans at dodging animals.
A compilation I made of @Tesla’s FSD stopping for animals, and often saving their lives:

The electricity bill for a normal winter at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is $18,000,000.
Today, the generators use jet fuel.
Time to go nuclear?

En la NASA ya voltearon el parche oficial indicando que la tripulación viene de regreso a la Tierra.

@thehorizon2b2t They could launch, it would just take a Saturn V to launch Sputnik.
Their real rockets would be insane.
English
curious would it be like physically impossible for any intelligent species living on kepler to launch a rocket into space? like its already barely possible to launch a rocket from earth so I imagine if gravity was just a little larger you'd be kinda fucked
Jaia@Jaiathalien
Earth 2.0 exists it’s called kepler-452b and it’s 1.5 billion years older than our sun meaning it has been potentially hosting life before our planet existed

The dorks who found reasons to be cynical and critical about this mission look dumber by the day. This whole thing has been so cool. The crew has been sharing the Gospel the entire time. And now this moment. If you can't be inspired by this, you're dead inside. An empty vessel.

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment. I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

@William_TM_ They weren't very forward thinking. If they actually made a deep space network, they'd have to call it something else now.

.@AJamesMcCarthy have you seen this?
Anyone following @NASA @NASAArtemis Artemis II mission should check this out!

I don't think people understand how insane Renaissance Florence was.
In a town of about ***50k people*** you had the following people all alive at the same time:
* Leonardo Da Vinci
* Michelangelo
* Raphael
* Amerigo Vespucci (explorer for whom America is named)
* Niccolo Machiavelli
* Sandro Botticelli
* Lorenzo de Medici
What happened to all that human capital? Did the intelligent men of Florence migrate elsewhere over the coming centuries?

Demonstrating the relationship between system variance and errorless automation.
For self driving cars it looks like:
Buildings -> Railways -> Roadways
For the assistant robots like Optimus, it looks like:
Factories -> Hospitals -> Homes

Elevators used to be manually operated and were especially risky if the operator was tired or inebriated. Now, you just get in, press a button and a modern elevator, if inspected regularly, is extremely safe.

@the_culturist_ It's always struck me as odd that Tolkien thought this ...
...yet he protected his works with laws and family.
Instead of protecting them in the way of the great legends...
...by open sourcing them.

Tolkien once began work on a sequel but abandoned the idea. He said it was too "sinister and depressing" to write, and "not worth doing."
LOTR ends with the perfect "eucatastrophic" twist: a glimpse of final victory over evil, by the guiding hand of divine providence. Tolkien found it too depressing to consider how men would once again tear things apart:
"Since we are dealing with Men it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice and prosperity, would become discontented and restless – like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going round doing damage. I could have written a 'thriller' about the plot and its discovery and overthrow – but it would be just that. Not worth doing."

A sequel movie to the ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ trilogy is officially in the works. Plot synopsis — 14 years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began. Stephen Colbert is co-writing the script.

The rapidly shrinking Department of Education is abandoning its headquarters, widely regarded as the ugliest building in DC.

@goldstein_aa @msetechnologist @codewithstefan @GoogleResearch what's your point? you don't think it does what they claim, yet you acknowledge that LLMs do what they claim... so, which is it?
I mean, it's also fair to just hate Google I guess.
English
@msetechnologist @codewithstefan @GoogleResearch Google has 117,979 patents. They're a for-profit company, right? If they knew a group of their researchers had stumbled upon the most significant invention in several decades, I doubt they would have just given it away like that.

@KiloVoltaire @CodyLibolt Americanism is sophistry and yet so successful that none of its adherents care to admit it

100% buIIshit. The way forward was not to institutionalize tyranny under the guise of pretty words.
1. If everyone is equal, no one is free.
2. Government can only dispense or violate rights.
3. I didn't consent and I don't consent.
4. Adversarial democracy and universal suffrage are self-destructive to society.
5. If you believe a better system can't exist, you have a closed mind.
6. The founding fathers had a great idea, but the system they crafted produces the opposite of liberty.
English
“If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
“If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people.
“Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.”
-Calvin Coolidge

@CodyLibolt "Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.”
Yes.
