We can solve those problems directly or indirectly by tying superman to a dynamo. With free energy even the issues with materials can be solved over time.

News@lemmy.world•From ‘Tudo bem?’ to ‘Gracias,’ a growing share of US residents speak a language other than English

News@lemmy.world•Musk calls for Trump to be impeached as extraordinary feud escalates
1·1 year agoFor the impeachment itself, assuming the Democrats all vote for it, Musk only needs to buy 9 republicans.
For the trial, he needs to get 20 republicans for the two thirds. It’s not going to be cheap, but it sounds doable.
The problem is that leaves Vance in charge, and a focused autocrat is not an upgrade.

News@lemmy.world•US slams ICC judges with sanctions over investigation into Israel
4·1 year agoGermany it’s because of the holocaust (funny that it never translates into wanting to make a safe homeland for Roma people at all costs).
US it’s because of Christian death cults wanting a new temple in Jerusalem because they think it will bring Jesus back.

Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft wants a version of USB-C that “just works” consistently across all PCs
8·1 year agoIt still solves one end of the problem. The cable problem probably needs enforcement from law side.
The solution is turning this on its head and having a law saying which weapons are allowed.
Granted it’s hard with how the archaic constitution of the US is written and how creatively the conservative judges read it, but decisions like this give room for states to try more tiered access to weapons.

News@lemmy.world•Bill Gates: Microsoft founder to give most of $200bn fortune to Africa
111·1 year agoWhich still has no material impact on his well being and keeps most people distracted from his behaviours from all kinds of inappropriate conduct at Microsoft to his efforts to rehabilitate Epstein after his first conviction, with a bunch of economic crimes and things that should be economic crimes in the middle.

Technology@beehaw.org•Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference'
43·1 year agoLike all dating apps they have a strong incentive to promote superficial short-term connections over long term relationships so they have repeated customers. The worst thing that can happen to a dating app is their users finding a long term partner.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Sorry, Cthulhu -- you'll always be my number 2
41·1 year agoConsidering 3 major world religions claim the text was inspired by their god, the discrepancies make it at least highly suspicious.
Good luck getting actors and directors to understand hyperealistic and method acting are not ideal on every instance.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he will look into possible pardons for the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
7·1 year agoThat’s how it effectively works in most of the Western world. The head of state usually issue pardons but on advise of the government (especially in countries where the head of state is not the head of government) or an independent comission.

News@lemmy.world•Salman Rushdie cancels college speech after pushback from Muslim, civil rights groups
71·1 year agoThat’s a big leap considering the article mentions this is about his position on an ongoing ethnic cleansing and not about his religious views - though I suspect his religious views are colouring how he views the acceptability of crimes against humanity when targeting some groups.
I have very little sympathy for religion in public spaces but I’ve even less for pro-genocide people.

We understand reasoning enough to know humans (and other animals with complex brains) reason in a way that LLMs cannot.
While our reasoning also works with pattern matching it incorporates immeasurably more signals than language - language is almost peripheric to it even in humans. And more importantly we experience things, everything we do acts as a small training round not just in language but on every aspect of the task we are performing, and gives us a miriad of patterns to match later.
Until AI can match a fragment of this we are not going to have an AGI. And for the experience aspect there’s no economic incentive under capitalism to achieve, if it happens it will come out of an underfunded university.
