It’s not scientific racism, it’s racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

It’s going to take a while to torrent a movie on the 40 meter band.

Isn’t there some way to use the liars paradox in Star Trek to destroy super intelligent computers? That would seem such a more satisfying way to destroy it.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

If they don’t blink and you hear the servos whirring, that’s a pretty good sign.

Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the “speed of light” can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to “null geodesics” in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

The system can be overwhelmed by having too many incoming rockets, so it does have its limits.

Any function is computable with a big enough table.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don’t know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there’s probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

How about oriented (not orientated!)?

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn’t get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.

Like “Weekend at Sam Altman’s”?

AI is statistically generated word salad.

Stock holders demand infinite growth. If the management doesn’t make money, they put in place new management. A company is only worth the value of the next stock buyback or dividend. It’s baked into the structure of corporations, especially publicly-owned corporations.

My guess is Intel’s management is full of inflexible dead weight that doesn’t want to adapt to the new reality that PCs are only going to become less and less relevant as a computing model. Like other companies that had established cash-cow businesses like Sears with its mail-order catalog, Kodak with film, Motorola with analog mobile phones, etc., current management doesn’t want to jeopardize their positions by allowing a new business to dominate, and so the company is doomed to a slow death.

Ah, the “there is no such thing as altruism” argument. But perhaps reward and benefit transcends a single individual:

The GPIO engine is a simple state machine that can be programmed to implement high-speed data transfer, digital video output, and many other purposes. It is one of the best and most innovative features on the Pico.
