It’s quite dead judging by the data we currently have. Nothing short of a miracle will save MAVEN.

They both have the capability of dealing immense damage to each other. There won’t be a war between China and the US because both have nukes (like you said) and orbital class rockets. Not sure any other explanation is needed.


Proprietary launcher iirc.
True, but grass beats water.


Plus, photos of tigers found on the internet are likely vastly better than the ones you can capture on your phone.


I totally agree. It’s the type of attack virtually anyone can pull off solo with just a couple thousand dollars. You don’t even need a lot of engineering skills, battle-ready quadcopters are available off the shelf. The only thing that would be difficult is the payload, and there are plenty of people capable of making a pipe bomb.
Everyone should watch the short film Slaughterbots, I think it does a good job of explaining. https://youtu.be/HipTO_7mUOw
Honestly someone should code this up using public data, just to show that just because you’re on the fediverse doesn’t mean you’re private or secure.


“Fuck ethics” and “don’t kill children” are mutually incompatible statements.
You believe in ethics, you just put the line at a different point than other people. Maybe that means exactly what the article says - our society needs to start discussing the situation to see where we want to draw the line.
And don’t get me wrong, I agree with you in general. Humans tend to be TOO worried about ethics, for example GMO plants are generally quite harmless despite being outright banned in large swaths of the world.


I was part of a company that closed due to tariffs, and that wasn’t even bankruptcy. The damage is far, far worse than these numbers show.
I saw a really cool youtube channel about a guy who makes his own tools out of 3D printed parts and concrete. He built both a drill press and a lathe.
Dunno how much cheaper that is than buying the tools outright, but it’s pretty impressive how people can find a way.
Sorry, my bad. Here’s the corrected calculation:
(big + dick) * (big + dick) = big² + 2*big*dick + dick²
That means he has two big dicks


Amazon is more “warehousing and fulfillment” than it is “storefront”.
This would be hard to replicate without immense capital.
You can’t, I cross reference it with Copernicus satellite data to get elevation.
For buildings, there is building footprint data, which I extrude and create a variety of procedurally generated roof styles.
AGI doesn’t exist. The term AI is painfully broad and includes extremely mundane things we take for granted.

Cigarettes harm third parties via second hand smoke. Gacha games don’t brain rot the person sitting next to you.
God I’ve been coding up an OpenStreetMap to 3D world generator for my casual side project: a delivery driver simulation game.
It would be trivial to make this level but it makes my skin crawl even thinking about it.
Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Stone plus Henge. Henge is not a prehistoric megalith unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Stone system made useful by the Stone corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full megalithic structure as defined by neolithic hunter-gatherers.
