We, as humans, don’t know what we’re creating here.

They tried this with the Fiero using snap-on plastic body panels. The panels ended up being expensive and few people took advantage of it.

Apple demanding to do everything itself when it doesn’t have a car is going to keep it out of the market. Qualcomm doesn’t have anything close to an M1 chip, which Apple could already be selling to car makers.

Clickbait. They buy and sell often. And not just in Silicon Valley. And all companies do this …

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like you wouldn't need an especially powerful quantum computer to do this.

Yeah Einstein good job, so they would use another cooling method. What's your point ?

They really want people to return to the offices so that their investment in said offices makes sense.
Employees saying "no" is what's causing them to have to choose to sell them instead.
I don't understand how this is inconsistent - if you had a car you haven't driven in two years, might you list it for sale rather than continue to pay registration/car payments on it?

Headline is redacted, the article says it can be considered if the author puts a considerable amount of (human) effort in it and it's not just a prompt.
Makes sense to be honest.

That sounds ideal TBH, doing whatever makes the most sense for the given situation instead of enforcing a bunch of rules just cause that's the way it's always been

There are a lot of exotic materials that definitely fit the bill but we need economies of scale to make it viable financially.

Sure, but once something is acted upon their will be a change. The moon is also mostly comprised of titanium and lithium, some of the lightest elements. Sure, landing to plant a flag might not do much, but constant travel, or even strong magnetic forces required to generate power may have lasting consequences.

I read a book in which the obliteration of all life on earth from the Chicxulub asteroid was averted by ancient kung fu wizard dinosaurs. Equally realistic!

Thorium is great, but it complicates fuel handling. Almost certainly they'll use highly-enriched uranium, just like the rest of the space nuclear reactor designs.

The moon is vastly more massive than you seem to think.

> terrestrial reactors rely on water for cooling and power generation through conversion to steam... which probably isn't going to work on the moon.
You can safely assume that the engineers working on this have thought of that. There are options that work on the moon. This isn't the first nuclear power plant designed to operate in a vacuum; e.g. NASA built and successfully tested one a few years ago.

That is not really compatible with the other news saying these companies really want their employees to work in the offices.

Er no. That's NOT what the copyright office said.
AI generations must be excluded from registration and only human authorship will be accepted.
Given that in the US, registration is required to bring a suit to protect copyright, it won't be possible to bring any action to the courts to protect AI generations as they can't be registered.
Therefore, AI generated art can't ever be protected.

Hmm, it is definitely new territory.
It's just a chat bot. It analyzes text as math and learns to produce text that resembles real human interaction.
But at the same time, it would be weird to think I could be speaking to an AI right now and not even know it because you're so realistic.
