@johnkrausphotos @waitbutwhy the alpha zero v stock fish matches were very popular. the chess youtube agadameter got huge views covering the bot v bot match. and there was a beauty to some of the alpha zero moves.

@waitbutwhy AI content, such as art and chess matches, feels constructed, quite literally by definition "artificial," while human content feels "created" There will always be a desire for human creativity, especially when documenting real-world events, such as through photography.

We're far more interested in a chess match between grandmasters than between AIs, even though the AIs are way better. I'm noticing the same thing with video and art. Once I realize it's made by AI I lose interest, no matter how good it is. Maybe a good sign for human creators?

@ttbs1livec58408 @alan1114564 @StanCollymore Even if that happened, there are rules set in law. A request needed to be made to the charity commission (for permission) as no secondary purpose was stated in the original appeal (police and emergency services aren't even mentioned for example).

@frown_nworf @SRFielding72 @StanCollymore no she should be bound by the terms she stated all the money raised when the fund raiser said all was going to the carer, should go to him when she changed the terms to say all. additional monies would go to other causes, all that money should go to those causes. its simple

@frown_nworf @SRFielding72 @StanCollymore yes, so anyone who donated after the target had been surpassed did so with the knowledge that the carer would not be getting that donation.

@StanCollymore They can't legally change the perameters of the fundraiser. If Brendan wants to share the money with other causes, that is fine, but she can't change the cause from that which raised the money. This is ending up in court.

'They're doing all the wrong things. We don't want to be part of that.' An uncle in Middlesbrough urges Muslims to not descend to the level of these far-right thugs. There are many racists in the media looking to further their demonisation agenda. Don't give them any ammo.

Equally, you can't acknowledge that people with opinions like you have caused what is happening. A second generation immigrant attacked white children, murdering three of them. Yet your only response is to call those rioting over this act of terror 'racists'. Same with the thousands of young white girls groomed and raped by South Asian immigrants. Or 7/7 and Manchester Arena. Anyone who is outraged by these FACTS is 'racist' according to you. It's been a long-time coming I'm afraid. What I don't understand - and I'm assuming that you're an intelligent chap - is how you simply cannot envisage this not being about 'racism' but is due to a justified anger and resentment. Because you blindness is one of the things that has caused these riots.

There's no political justification for the disorder we've seen. But if people want to get into the blame game, these are the facts. The Tories were in power for 14 years. Labour have been in power for 4 weeks. Blaming Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper for this is just ridiculous.

@Sozzinski @DPJHodges @AndrewGoldthor3 @wierdohairdo it is far right hatred. nazi tattoos, burning down hotels containing asylum seekers, pulling asians out of cars. the disorder was and is fuelled by racism. a stain on our country

Jesus Dan, I do believe you really cannot see why this was incendiary. He is calling genuine concerns about massive immigration - much of it undocumented - as a response three little girls being slaughtered 'far right hatred'. Now he's more hated than Thatcher was in the height of the miners strike, and he hasn't been in power a month yet. He's got to go.

Do you know how sick you have to be to sit there like this and smile whilst they're smashing up and setting a hotel on fire that holds asylum seekers. There could've been kids in there.

Trung Phan@TrungTPhan·
The Concorde could fly London to New York in ~3.5 hours (half the time of a normal airliner). In operation from 1976 to 2003, the plane was a technical marvel and faster than the speed of sound. But it had poor business economics. Let’s start with the insane specs: ▫️Got as high as 10k miles ▫️Flew around earth in 30 hours ▫️Mach 2.04 speed (more than 2x speed of sound) ▫️Arrived in New York at earlier time than it left London (banker folk loved this) ▫️Delta wings and nose tip that could point down (so pilots could see runway, because it had to land at specific angle) Jointly run by British Airways and Air France, there were only 14 Concordes put to work (flew 50,000 total flights). What was wrong with the business model? ▫️SMALL MARKET: The thin aerodynamic design could only seat 109, so tickets were very expensive: $11k (a Boeing 747 can do >800 passengers) ▫️HUGE MAINTENANCE: Planes got so hot at the max height (110 degrees), that they expanded 30cm and sealant for fuel hardened. It took 28 hours to turnaround the plane (a normal one can do <2 hours). ▫️OUTRAGEOUS FUEL NEEDS: Each flight required 28,000 litres, for max 109 passengers. Commmercial planes needed 4x less fuel on a per passenger basis. ▫️NOISE RESTRICTIONS: Many cities wouldn’t allow the Concorde to fly because of how glass-shatteringly long it is on take-off, which limited destinations. *** Development of the Concorde — it had an “e” to placate the French — cost $2.8B and was paid for by the UK and French governments. The airlines were actually able to fly profitably for a number of years. But the economics were warped because the planes were given to them for free and the airlines didn’t have to capitalize costs. The business ultimately shuttered in 2003 following a tragic crash in 2000 and industry-wide slowdown post-9/11. Will we ever have sub-4 hour flights from London to NY again? A batch of sonic plane startups could make it happen by the end of this decade.
