Reply to comment by Blakut in The European Union to nearly double the share of renewables in the 27-nation bloc's energy consumption by 2030 amid efforts to become carbon neutral and ditch Russian fossil fuels. by chrisdh79
That... Doesn't say anything about renewables?
So no, neither gas nor coal nor nuclear is renewable.

That's the point: the brain isn't simple. Last breakthrough was a complete map of a worm's 'brain'

TaskRabbit will have a lot more requests for a human to solve a captcha due to “vision impairments”, or whatever the fuck GPT-4 claimed in order to trick the TaskRabbit agent.

>Truthfully, I don't think we can create consciousness, if that's what you received from my post.
That's actually what I thought, because you wrote that "In my understanding, AGI is the representation of generalized human cognitive abilities in software so ..."

"I don't think you understand how it works, it's not a simple auto complete. The people making these models don't even understand how it works anymore, how would you?"
That's OP's response :D
edit: it wasn't OP, just a random know-it-all

Passing the test and being a lawyer are different things though. Rudy passed the bar.

You’ve figured it out, but the chuckleheads on this sub don’t wanna believe it.
Technology without social structure is just a way to replace you, the same as the ox was replaced by the tractor. Luckily, you are a human and can actually do something about it

The Secretary reports to the president. The Director of BLM reports to congress. All committees are held inside congress and committee seats are assigned to BLM staff, congress persons, and experts.
Tl:Dr Secretary is appointed by each new administration. Director is permanent.

That's a great question.
The decision to hold an auction of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico by the Bureau of Land Management would have been made by the agency itself, based on its statutory authority and the policies and priorities of the current administration. The BLM is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, and its decisions are subject to review by the Secretary of the Interior, who is appointed by the President of the United States. Point to you.
However, it is worth noting that the decision to offer leases for oil and gas drilling in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico is a longstanding practice that has been in place for decades, and is not specific to any one administration or political party. The BLM regularly conducts lease sales as part of its management of the Outer Continental Shelf, which includes the waters and submerged lands beyond state coastal waters. These lease sales are conducted in accordance with federal law and regulations, and are intended to promote the responsible development of the nation's energy resources. Congress is the deciding factor in allocations of funding within the BLM in regards to this matter.
It's not an either or, we can both be right you know.

What if every keystroke or touch or mouse click was authenticated by having some sensors within us? Our keyboards could be replaced with some extra sensors to know who pressed each key.

If we get to the point where lots of people don't have food then the problem solves itself. Sad but true.
I can't even convince people that trust me to not believe Fox News. It's very frustrating.

Dude, I won't let you move goalposts. You literally said that:
> the temp difference in the water source you are using to cool the plant will not be enough to keep the plant running.
> Can't cool your reactor if your "coolant" water comes in too hot.
Stop making excuses and be grateful you learnt basic thermodynamics today.
And stop parroting this shit anymore.

I had a very smart, tech executive, friend tell me that self-driving cars will put truckers out of a job within 10 years. He makes 5x what I make and is much more informed on technology than I am, so who am I to doubt him?
Thing is, he told me this 12 years ago.
You’re absolutely right that people get carried away with this stuff way too early. We can all hope for a post-scarcity future but keep saving in that 401k for now.

I tried to be cordial with you, I made sure you knew it wasn't a direct attack against you, I gave you the exact documents they use to report to Congress, and gave you an analogy as to why it's important they obey Congress or lose their funding entirely, and your response is:
>You really are just stupid 😂 👋
Classy. Nice chatting with you.

They don't report directly to congress no matter how much you say they do. Now we Americans have something for our government called checks and balances. Congress doesn't give BLM orders. The president does and then afterwards congress can check them after the fact. Also your analogy was pretty out there and has no relevance to the discussion. The mayor can't fucking fire a policeman for selling Crack to kids, only their employer (the chief of police) can. You really are just stupid 😂 👋
