Depends on what you want to do. UHF/VHF handheld radio can be had for 20-30, uSDX or QMX type small low power HF radio is closer to 100. You’ll also need battery, antennas (perhaps tuner) and something to put data in and out (headphones and microphone or cw key or audio interface to laptop) (no idea if it’s good but people use it)

Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.

I don’t know if that man ever figured out what is the point of having a hobby

e: also note how nicely it dovetails with surveillance thing, i guess this is (part of) why EAs are fine with all of surveillance, including palantir, is because how else will their personal ai slave agent know them better than do they know themselves

ai bubble isn’t over until zucc’s skin sloughs off, releasing hundreds of millions of souls he absorbed trying to behave like a human https://www.404media.co/mark-zuckerberg-posts-deranged-6-500-word-essay-about-giving-everyone-ai-superintelligence/

Reflective side out, and on the outside this should work. Aluminum foil or a thermal blanket would also work and are lighter

what do you think are odds that they just jumped on chatbot hype train

racing in wrong direction seems like bad idea, maybe it’s fine if you only care about speed

set of hex keys and potion that gives you caffeine overdose. 10% chance of notebook with cursed knowledge

good luck cajoling blahaj admins into any timely bans

0.25% ish

i’d still try hydrocarbon solvent first, because it’s least likely to damage it

nah it’s the usual: greed

would you believe that all but one authors are from a single startup?

first of all, who the fuck calls you a leader. second of all, you fell for a marketing piece, because if you read it you’d figure that what happened is that some model spewed 700000 candidates, that was filtered down to 285 by actual scientists, then when made and tested it had >90% failure rate (16 viable) and all are closely related to existing phage

“somebody burned square kilometer of rainforest to do phage madlibs” would be more accurate title

You can’t critihype it when you call it phage madlibs from the beginning

thiel’s lawyers are gonna merc him

almost certainly both will damage print. something like lighter fluid (or hexane) won’t, but it should loosen glue. trying to dislodge sticker with a razor sometimes works even better

some people suggest vegetable oil, but then you’re left with oily fabric

waaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside

Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.

They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.

Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.

look out for breathless boosters “warning” everyone that ai will kill us all and it’s definitely not used as a marketing strategy

this is silicon metal surgical siliconE has density almost equal to water

There’s plenty shore NPPs cooled with seawater so it’s at least partially solved problem, not that these are right people to solve it. Guess they’ll fail in disruptive and innovative ways. Seawater also only touches one side of heat exchanger, that is until it rusts through. The expensive things should have deionized water running through them

I bet that things will corrode anyway, because of sea spray
