They are still jerking on these 50+ years old achievements, without having new ones. "Space race" didn't stop after Venera landing, and soviets/russians are thing of the past now. Aside of useless ISS trips, they have no relevance in space anymore.

> "Won the space race" because of the moon landing is Hollywood nonsense.

"Won the space race" because they were first at the very beginning is a nonsense too. Following this logic, China won rocket race because they invented first rockets centuries ago.

Enlighten us.

> Then when Harper came in he killed the registry mostly for ideological reasons.

The registry was started mostly for ideological reasons.

Yeah but pi digits are essentially random noise, but any human is a precisely build system. E.g. there are exactly two identical eyes with nerves going to this precise area of brain, every time.

It's more like mega-efficient archive utility that unzips a few GB into a human, I just can't fathom it.

Why would I let anyone brainwash my kids with opinions that I don't like? Why do my kids have to be bullied by these problem children?

> As a parent

I guess you still want them to go to a good school, not a ghetto one. And most likely you don't want them to be brainwashed with ideas that you personally don't like.

I maintain a photo library project, I feel your pain. JPEG format is so crooked in so many ways.

It's shame that after so many years of development we ended up with such horrible formats like jpeg and mp4.

How to easily identify a person in even more myriad of scenarios? If we have license plates for cars, we need to have them for people.

What do you know about Russia in 90's?

They are anti-gun "progressive" nuts, how can they be "conservative". Their "normal" was destruction, so people voted trump in just to stop this idiocy (by starting a new one)

Get rid of license plates.

Remind me, why do we need license plates?

If there's a reason for having them, why don't we require them for people? Let's make everyone walk with their id at the front and back. We're for public safety here, right?

Who is going to elect and oversee them? I don't want to be governed by China or Russia.

But people still love movies where everyone is an idiot, like Jurrasic Park or Interstellar. I wonder if it then translates in their real life decisions.

Agree completely. We're like sheep that are cluelessly watching other sheep being slaughtered.

> How does society resolve this kind of abuse of the democratic process?

By choosing "people-vs-individual-politician" fight over "people-vs-government-system". Like, literally, make politicians personally responsible for this bs.

Society can't win this without fighting the personalities who drive it. In the end, there's a individual that pushes this, so this very person should be targeted personally.

Someone said it's an asymmetric conflict, so we need to pull it to our (human-size) level and fight on our chessboard.

What stopped the baltimore kid from getting any valuable/marketable skills? Why did he drop school? In the end, it's a sum of all their little personal decisions. Sure, family and environment play their important role, but it's still personal fault.

It wasn't the most loved part of k8s, to say the least.

Yeah, it will be funny to see people turn 180, Fox should do that just for teh lulz.

Obviously for OpenAI, because they providing the service. Same for my doctor, my pharmacist and my lawyer. What was your point?

WTF with all these comments. Regardless on OpenAI reputation and practices, I don't want NYT or anyone else to see my conversations, I completely agree to OpenAI here.

Sometimes devs go too far with that, e.g. with timestamps, like "2 days ago". Just give me ISO timestamps I'm dying.

Any language is like this. There shouldn't be too difficult to say "two files have been uploaded" even in Polish.

Taliban is "minimally trained people"?

Shooting from comfortable sitting position at a range != modern combat.

Dude, you know what I'm talking about. One week of training doesn't make you any good for modern military. You can draft retirement homes with the same success.

It will not raise any cost, these "soldiers" will pose zero threat.

Because it's one week "training".

How much will you "train with weapons" in one week?

I wouldn't call Russia weak. They have their strengths, one of which is insensitivity to losses. They can grind 20000 soldiers to get a small town, and nobody cares. Also, total control over population, brainwashing the youth, military-oriented economy.

Also, Russia knows how to operate in Arctic, and has real combat experience that none of NATO countries have.

> To think they'd have a shadow of a chance against NATO is a joke.

Which NATO with what army? Do you think Bundeswehr is combat-ready? Is society in any NATO country (except Poland and Finland) ready to fight?

Russians will easily take Baltic countries, for example, is it NATO? Will NATO commit into full scale war with Russia over Estonia? They don't even have guts to block shadow fleet tankers and shoot russian drones over their own territory. Or forget doing something, they can't even stop buying russian oil and gas, because their population will pay more and be upset.

Ukraine stopped them like a bag of teeth would grind teeth of someone who decided to eat them. West is not Ukrainians, even after all these wake-up calls.
