You'd think so. But at least Germany struggles massively with missing personnel to staff trains (which includes roles beyond the driver). As far as I know there is no automated solution on the horizon for any form or scale of train traffic. The only self driving trains I have experienced require tight control of the rail environment (entirely underground or lifted above the surface) and special stations with airlocks.

Maybe there is just more money in self-driving cars. But I'm pretty sure they will happen before wide spread automated trains. Which sucks.

Nein, bitte, bleib nicht. Warum gerade der?! 😭 Zumindest ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer das die FDP zusammen fällt und an der 5% scheitert

Gibt noch einen weiteren: Infrastruktur zur Herstellung nuklearer Waffen und Randbereichen wie Medizin und Raumfahrt. Aber beides in Deutschland nicht so relevant. Bei ersterem hoffe ich es zumindest stark.

Well I don't know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

They are mostly ice crystals. But they form around soot from the exhaust. There is research into reducing those emissions to reduce contrails since they contribute to the greenhouse effect https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-dlr-study-finds-sustainable-aviation-fuel-can-reduce-contrails/

So the conspiracy guys are kinda correct that the contrails are bad, but once again for all the wrong reasons.

I mean technically, aside from the name, all statements on the right are correct I think. Don't think huffing turbine exhaust is healthy for you 😄

Which in turn highlights the problem with all these omnibus bills where you have to vote for the bombs for genocide bill if you want school lunch funding. Doesn't invalidate your point, but US politics is beyond bonkers.

Ah the dark days before PBR... If only gameplay had also evolved with graphics.

What awful waste of human lives. And I guess there is no good way to die in war, but this just seems so atrocious for everyone involved

Yeah, no, that is not what the article says. AlphaChip is better at component/module placement in terms of connection length between them.

Not to say that that isn't cool. But it is not recursive. That would imply that the chip with shorter connection length improves the models performance significantly, which they do not claim at all. Because it would quickly reach diminishing returns.

There is a thousand things that go into making chips. Many will benefit from the automatic optimization of such algorithms. But this doesn't suddenly give you a new manufacturing node or anything comparable out of thin air. Just a marginal improvement on existing design.

If AI is only a "parrot" as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that "AI" is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn't researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with "AI safety" as part of "Alignment"). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make "AI"/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/"AI". Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.
