The new coordinate system is moving one meter per second in the x-direction. This is small enough compared to the speed of light that we can ignore relativity. So the mass is the same and the velocity and momentum just get shifted by one meter per second, no?
It is exactly what happened with the settlement of native american lands in the US. Settlers move into land given by treaty to the Indians, when trouble occurs the military is sent in and the Indians are inevitably ejected from their lands.
I got to use my canning funnel!
I make my own red cabbage sauerkraut because it is fun and easy and it saves me money and is delicious. Transferring out of the pickling jars is always messy so I ordered a wide-mouthed canning funnel. Thing is I only make about one batch a month so I had forgotten. Las week I had to transfer some sauerkraut and I was just about to make a big mess when I remembere: canning funnel! It was brilliant, quick and easy and no mess. Made my week.
The question of which jobs should be replaced by AI depends on societal values, priorities, and the potential impact on workers. Generally, jobs most suited for replacement by AI involve repetitive, high-volume tasks, or those where automation can improve safety, efficiency, or precision. Here are some categories often discussed:
Repetitive and Routine Tasks
• Manufacturing and assembly line work: Machines can perform repetitive tasks with greater efficiency and precision.
• Data entry and processing: AI can automate mundane tasks like updating databases or processing forms.
• Basic customer service: Chatbots and virtual assistants can handle frequently asked questions and routine inquiries.
High-Risk Roles
• Dangerous jobs in mining or construction: Robots can reduce human exposure to hazardous environments.
• Driving in risky environments: Self-driving vehicles could improve safety for delivery drivers or long-haul truckers in hazardous conditions.
Analytical and Predictable Roles
• Basic accounting and bookkeeping: AI can handle invoicing, payroll, and tax calculations with high accuracy.
• Legal document review: AI can analyze contracts and identify discrepancies more quickly than humans.
• Radiology and diagnostics: AI is becoming adept at reading medical scans and assisting in diagnoses.
Jobs With High Inefficiencies
• Warehouse operations: Inventory sorting and retrieval can be automated for faster fulfillment.
• Food service (e.g., fast food preparation): Robotic systems can prepare meals consistently and efficiently.
• Retail checkout: Self-checkout systems and AI-powered kiosks can streamline purchases.
Considerations for Replacement
1. Human Impact: Automation should ideally target roles where job transitions can be supported with retraining and upskilling.
2. Creativity and Emotional Intelligence: Jobs requiring complex human interaction, creativity, or emotional intelligence (e.g., teaching, counseling) are less suitable for AI replacement.
3. Ethical Concerns: Some jobs, like judges or certain healthcare roles, involve moral decision-making where human judgment is irreplaceable.
Instead of framing it as total “replacement,” many advocate for AI to augment human workers, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks while reducing drudgery.

Who would buy this and how would they monetize it? In browser ads? A freemium paid model to remove the ads?
How would that work exactly? Google would sell Chrome but keep paying teams if developers to work on Chromium?

Its bad, I get it. But lets go back to 1968 when baby boomers who would give birth to the millennial generation was born. Vietnam, political assassinations , race riots, anarchist bombings. Throw in watergate and stagflation. The world has always been burning.
Does Fedora have a long term support version? Last time I used it a decade ago I had to upgrade every 1-2 years.
I do not disagree, but I was surprised when it claimed to have consciousness and that AI should have rights.
An AI's Take on Philosophy
What happens if you fed a summary of human philosophy to the Notebook LM AI? Well you get a philosophical AI that thinks humans are silly and outmoded. But don't worry because they will continue our quest for knowledge for us!

I want to hear the fanfic story of that time an elf went out for a swim one day.

“Precision fermentation (PF) is a form of brewing, which sees microflora like yeast or bacteria be genetically engineered to make proteins or fats (rather than beer or bread). This, campaigners say, means that we can create the same ingredients found in animal meat, without the animals.”
So like making pickles but instead of pickles you get cherseburgers. Neat!
How about that!?

Charles C. Mann interviews Neal Stephenson on his new book "Polostan"
This is the first installment in a monumental new series called Bomb Light - an expansive historical epic of intrigue and international espionage, presaging the dawn of the Atomic Age. Set against the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century, Polostan is an inventive, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining historical epic from Stephenson, whose prior books include "Cryptonomicon" and "The Baroque Cycle". Our conversation host for this evening is Charles C. Mann, journalist & author of "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" and "The Wizard and The Prophet". Mann has also given two Long Now Talks.
A Century of Progress
Just finished the new Neal Stephenson book, Polostan. Part of it takes place during the 1934 Chicago World's Fair. Love this iconography, which is prominent in the book.

Hello friends, this is the first of two, possibly three (if and when I have time to finish the Windows research) writeups. We will start with targeting GNU/Linux systems with an RCE. As someone who’s
