It's a continous, demoralizing nightmare called scrum in an administration oriented company.

This kind of age restriction is indeed pretty stupid, Andrew Wiles was too old for the Fields medal for example.

That shows the dominance of the financial market and the economic power over the structures of society. We find completely normal hundreds of billions be redirected to the owners of the capital but we would find an anomaly to think of a technological project that could bring real progress and costed that much.

Whatever PPP-adjusted total GDP might indicate, I think the main idea is to create a graphic where China is ahead of the USA economically.

>Beef cattle use nearly 60% of the world’s agricultural land but account for less than 2% of global calories and 5% of global protein consumed.

Sure... We're going to create 5 more planets to provide all the pasture needed to feed the world with your food of the future.

I think that patents should only be enforceable if there is a commercialy product or service using it in the interval of maybe 5 years since the patent was registered. People making money by buying patents and suing companies is downright evil.

Explain this story better, please.

Go is played in a a bigger board though and has this kind of recursive nature where a subset of a go game is also a go game while chess is more ad-hoc.

>I don't know about your example, animal carcasses vary a bunch and it would have to be great at not leaving any meat wasted.

Cutting meat in practice is an activity that's more complex than it looks and for sure carcasses vary a lot, but even taking in account all their variation they still follow a pattern. At some point I'm sure we'll have robotic AI arms that will be trainable just like chatGPT is, so after being trained by a profession with thousands and thousands of hours, the hypotetical intelligent robotic arm eventually learns to do the job just fine 99.99% of the time and that's enough.

I think that at some point AI will enter the domain of repetitive physical jobs, like for example an experienced butcher will train an AI arm that eventually will learn to slice meat correctly since that's an activity that normally works with a reasonably standardized product(the animal carcass).

Keeping that in mind, honestly for me it's hard not to be very skeptical that it would make any economic sense in the next many decades to have an expensive humanoid robot performing tasks with a very low aggregated value like moving boxes one by one. Just because it's a robot performing an economic activity it doesn't necessarily mean it will be productive or competitive.

>We are rapidly approaching an inflection point where the rules of capitalism don't work anymore. The road bifurcates there and I'm not sure that we are capable of getting the good ending.

What are you talking about exactly? Can you elaborate?

>According to our best current model, no, the laser beam will never stop passing by matter, of approximately the same average density as the matter we can see.

I didn't understand this part, why would the laser beam would never stop passing by matter? Because of the metric expansion of the universe? Isn't it reasonable to assume that there is a skirt of the universe where matter keeps expanding into nothingness?

As I understand it, before the big bang the whole observable universe was contained in a small sphere and then it started to expand metrically. Is this interpretation correct?

Another thing: suppose I point a laser beam to the space and by chance this laser beam never finds any kind of matter in its way, where is this laser going to? To an infinite void? Is it correct to say that stars radiate energy to the infinite then?

I used to live in a subtropical region when I was a child in the 90s and it's pretty remarkable how hot the winters are today over there. That experience alone taught me that no way the climate change is not real. It's a bit like with the economy, you feel something is pretty wrong, but a lot of people for one reason or another will deny and try to brush it off, then after many years you get to see articles about how tough times have been in the last X years.
