Strangely, industrial accidents weren't a problem when automation was only taking poor people jobs.
As soon as AI starts hallucinating as accurately as the average journalist, lawyer and HR officer, suddenly there is a problem. Even with non-LLM based automation.
(ONE robot-related minor injury after two years operation and tens of billions of USD in product moved? Give that company a medal!)
There's an easy way to tell - if the deer is wearing a mask, its the human variant, otherwise its the wild type.
Vacuum is inside everything too, even if you prefer a particle conceptualisation of matter.
IPFS.io can host files of any size if you set up your own node. As your video attracts more viewers, more nodes will host it.
The weakness of IPFS right now is that few viewers are running their own clients, most are using gateways like Cloudflare and GameStop, and these are chronically overloaded.
Maybe dual-list on YouTube and IPFS, with a link to how people can get set up?
Everything exists in a vacuum.
Give or take a few virtual quantum particles :-p
Until about the year 1500 AD, most of humanity lived, worked, invented, litigated and organised community projects without ever being part of a state.
And they did so despite lacking Bitcoin, TCP-IP, and elliptic curve cryptography.
Statists are slaves who still imagine they could be slave owners.
Thanks. Its adjacent to some stuff I've worked on, so I thought I'd share my 2c :)
I really think the hosting cannot be centralised. If its centralised, its a honeypot for the censorious, the avaricious and the stalker-y, henceforth referred to as government.
I love Bittorrent, but I am yet to see a good integration with the HTML world.
https://ipfs.io is a newer protocol that integrates better, and clients are available for every major platform. Its still a bit slow out of the gate for high-def long-form video, but the more people who watch (and cache) an IPFS-hosted video the faster it gets!

Very interesting, and a valid point. All technology (and all life) requires a metastable energy gradient, and combustion would have to be the easiest to bootstrap.
Our technological toolkit is very dependent on oxygen combustion, an important engineering barrier to space resource development.
The authors point out that paper cannot be ignited below 18.5% molar fraction of O2 at standard temperature and pressure. Not mentioned is that this proportion is largely independent of pressure, which is not intuitive at all (and why high-oxygen low-pressure spacecraft atmospheres are so dangerous e.g. Apollo 1).
Also not mentioned is the importance of atmospheric nitrogen in supporting combustion.
Combustion needs a fuel (reductant), an oxidiser, and heat, as most of you know.
Nitrogen (78% of air by volume) is far more than a spectator - it has a low specific heat compared to most fuels (so it doesn't take away too much heat) but a low kinematic viscosity (so when it does gain heat it moves away violently, mixing fresh oxygen in close to the fuel). Nitrogen is also extremely inert chemically, so it doesn't interfere with the complex chain of reactions that comprise combustion.
If Earth had a different buffer gas instead of so much nitrogen, combustion could be much more challenging, and require much higher proportions of oxygen for sustainment.
CO2 has a much higher specific heat, and water vapor a higher viscosity. Chlorofluorocarbons are both, plus they break down and quench the free radicals on the fuel surface.
I used to work with a guy whose doctorate was in combustion chemistry, next time I see him I'll annoy him with questions about this :-p
There is ten tonnes per square metre of matter shielding between each square metre of Earth's surface and the Karman Line. That is orders of magnitude more shielding against cosmic rays than even fragile complex slow-breeding critters like us require.
Magnetospheric shielding is only directly important if you're in orbit.
(It protects out upper atmosphere from erosion of light fractions by the solar wind, which is very important but a separate problem).
Released Israeli hostages discuss their fears when in captivity.

Sure!
Merry Christmas, Nostr!
I literally did this for my dad, using big iDesk icons and a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, HDMI-ed to his big screen.
He wasn't well at the time, and he passed away two months later, so I couldn't really say if this is a good way to do it.
His Kodi RPi was working, but the TV-style five button interface and deeply nested menus kept losing him.
Try it! Netflix is a bit obsessive about preventing password sharing, so they're rather heavy-handed in what they block.
But if Kodi's web browser is supported when you try it, I daresay it will stay supported.
There are a number of different "skins" for Kodi that can totally change the UX. Too many, perhaps!
Netflix is pretty hostile to FOSS attempts at accessing it.
If they need reliable Netflix access, you're going to need a big brand...
I approve this message.
Incandescents are tolerant of voltage fluctuations, and will just briefly brighten or dim instead of "letting the smoke out" like an LED.
I have a stash of them, for when govt mismanagement of our grid here levels up. The big orange "Edison" types are my favs.
What Patrick said.
1. Get Raspberry Pi and SD card
2. Install this - https://kodi.tv/download/raspberry-pi/
3. Install the mobile app
4. Reboot, connect to wifi
5. Start surfing channels
Took all of twenty minutes when I did this for my dad.
(Of course, I then spent hours downloading extra plugins and connecting it to Dad's paid Kayo Sports account. Don't do that!)
Ukrainian soldiers play a Slavic variant of Curling / Lawn Bowls, in the snow.
But with landmines.
Because that's what they had lying around.
( Don't try this at home, kids. Really. )

Neighbours try to save a woman and child trapped under their destroyed home, after they were targeted by an airstrike.
I don't really need to tell you where, by this point...
