It looks like twitter was down for 2.5h. [hn] Previously there was a fire in twitter server farm which caused some availability issues. Gee i wonder how well these gas turbines are serviced

Bad news for Trump’s Golden Dome: He can’t build it without Canada

does awful have taglines enabled? this would be nice as one

ai can't generate anything that is not averaged dogshit made by grinding every political cartoon to pixels and compressing it to paste. it categorically can't generate caricatures, for example. it also shows a degree of creativity and familiarity with literature unlikely in average propmptfan. and also text is legible

you would need something silly like 50x more interceptors than ICBMs and SLBMs and these are more expensive and technically harder than either

The NMD program is limited in scope and designed to counter a relatively small ICBM attack from a less sophisticated adversary.

also ground-based interceptor is more expensive than ICBM, and you need one for each warhead and maybe also for decoys, and probably more than one to be reasonably sure. since everyone operates under MAD it doesn't matter if you destroy most probable adversary's nukes on the ground or in the air, so that's one of reasons why ICBMs are a thing, and then SLBMs as a second line. cue arms race. ABM are considered destabilizing and are limited by treaties

ai could never make this

it's not solved, it's just companies saying that they think it will be solved in the future

none of that shit works and won't work for a good minute, cryonics is rapture for nerds that take scifi way too seriously

what we already know tho is that because there's one payment to store meat popsicle effectively forever and this shit is ran by true believer techbros, it tends to run out of money pretty regularly. that means they run out of liquid nitrogen and meat popsicles thaw, and this already happened more than once

there's no practical defence against nukes

France also has warning shots, js

rocket lab is 4x too big (that's quarterly revenue, not annual)

Maybe their idea is that publicly embarrassing oligarch boss of that company would be more effective in getting them to either use source code or buying a license

how your email finds me:

“LaSota also bragged to me (my interpretation, I admit) that her theory must be cool because it had had a huge effect on her friend Chris/Maia Pasek,” Salamon said in an email. “Namely, it had (according to LaSota) caused Pasek to kill themself.”

"people commit suicide after meeting me" is a weird thing to brag about

That's the same article, it just skips title but leaves subtitle

but that would require effort
