La surprenante lettre envoyée par Gabriel Attal
  • Je pensait que c'etait la NFP cette fois-ci 😅, mais ils savent tout mieux que quiconque.

  • ML mods deleted a post about charging a 15yo russian with a 5 years sentence over anti-Putin leaflets
  • Sounds like their arch-enemies are not even the CIA and fascists from any country (they are not even that good at identifying them). What they truly fear and hate is russian dissidents and people who actually live in the Baltics, Poland and Ukraine and understand what is really going on and can deflate their skewed worldview. They don't see them as enemies, they see them as traitors.

  • Crazy United Kingdom mods restrict users to five post per day
  • France didn't let you post if you didn't have enough karma in that sub...ok.

  • Problem is this is a Cell vs C18 fight. Don't let Cell win and absorb C18 :/ neither can win.

  • I get that you don't need to be a professional instrument player to make good music...or be a professional composer...but if everything that takes effort, knowledge, experience and practice is done for you, what are you really contributing? Curation, maybe?

    This is great for people who make indie games to focus on gameplay and structure. You can make a full soundtrack and background images in a 2 minutes for free. But you can't say it is going to help foster the creativity that great composers valued, because you will eventually see e.g. music at the top level, as styles you can remix with some characteristics, but won't be aware of how they are built and can be rebuilt to create something truly new.

    This will limit creativity, because we will associate novelty with a high-level remix/fusion in a preset number of dimensions instead of the much higher possibilities coming from complexity underneath.

    ...it's like I'm talking about low-level programming languages vs high-level ones :)

  • This smiling robot face made of living skin is absolute nightmare fuel
  • The self-repairable part is odd to me.You need to keep feeding, oxygenating it and to prevent infections, otherwise it will rot :S Besides, on humans the healing relies on blood for platelets and crusts to form and a whole immune system...it needs too much babysitting to be called "self-healing".

  • Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms
  • I think it's pretty clear they want to own it, not ban it.

    First, they will use the rights of artists to gather popular and lawmaker support in their war against AI-content, then big labels will integrate it to turn around and screw creators over. It's a classic.

  • I was surprised it took them this long. But this just means that labels want to own AI songmaking, this is not good for creators or listeners either. Rick Beato was talking about this today:

    YANGON, Myanmar — An alliance of Myanmar ethnic armed groups has accused the military government of repeatedly violating a China-brokered ceasefire in the Southeast Asian country's north this month and causing civilian casualties.

    Battery swapping is a technology that could solve one key barrier for EV adoption: consumers’ range anxiety and the long waiting time for battery charging. Wouldn’t you feel more assured on a weekend trip if you knew you could stop at a swap station and replace depleted battery packs with fully char...

    SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Finds
    futurism.com SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Finds

    SpaceX's growing Starlink megaconstellation could be hindering the Earth's ozone layer from healing itself, researchers find.

    SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Finds

    Abstract from the paper in the article:

    https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024GL109280

    Large constellations of small satellites will significantly increase the number of objects orbiting the Earth. Satellites burn up at the end of service life during reentry, generating aluminum oxides as the main byproduct. These are known catalysts for chlorine activation that depletes ozone in the stratosphere. We present the first atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulation study to resolve the oxidation process of the satellite's aluminum structure during mesospheric reentry, and investigate the ozone depletion potential from aluminum oxides. We find that the demise of a typical 250-kg satellite can generate around 30 kg of aluminum oxide nanoparticles, which may endure for decades in the atmosphere. Aluminum oxide compounds generated by the entire population of satellites reentering the atmosphere in 2022 are estimated at around 17 metric tons. Reentry scenarios involving mega-constellations point to over 360 metric tons of aluminum oxide compounds per year, which can lead to significant ozone depletion.

    PS: wooden satellites can help mitigate this https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01456-z
