  • If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

    That’s not too bad if it’s only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing’s management want to do with this tech?





  • They exploited old unpatched firmware bugs, then modified DNS to send people to malicious sites. A typical hack involving old, unpatched routers. So the FCC decides to ban all new routers, while allowing old routers to continue functioning. It makes no sense as a security measure. The only way to understand the ban is as another instance of Trump’s people foolishly thinking that if they punish companies enough, they’ll instantly relocate their manufacturing to the USA.



  • “Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”

    All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.














  • Several L.A. hospice and healthcare providers were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.

    The crackdown on the city resulted in eight arrests and the suspension of 221 facilities over 10 weeks, officials said.

    So raiding and shutting down healthcare facilities in Democratic states is the new distraction from the USA losing its own war in Iran and destroying the world’s economy, which was the distraction from Trump raping children?

    When was the last time the Republicans did anything actually good and helpful?
