The word “potentially” is doing a lot of work there.

In many cases of piracy, the result of not pirating the work would not have been more income for the rights holder, it would have been the person just not acquiring a copy of the work at all.

The entire paper is already sub-field (AI) in industry (software engineering) specific. No stats are perfect, but I think these ones are pretty damn good for something where peoples role are pretty poorly determined in the first place. Of course you’re welcome to try and find better ones.

The “pure tech” companies I’ve worked at have been roughly equivalent or better than these stats, but at that point I’m sampling from software engineers in general (not having worked at an AI specific company), and my sample is unlikely to be unbiased anyways.

Isn’t the fact that he’s repulsive sort of the whole complaint?

Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad… here are some stats

Satellites go beyond the moon, but not starlink satellites (or any future competing large mesh network of satellites), they are in in low orbit to minimize latency. I haven’t double checked with math or anything but I don’t think they should be high enough to be in sight of much more of the moon than the earth is.

Both “on the earth” and “on the moon” provide about the viewing angle of the sky (a semi-sphere). Unless we’re tracking an object with multiple of these spaced around the earth to get 24/7 recordings the moon doesn’t seem worse…

Even then, with two of these you could put them opposite eachother just barely into the “dark side” (side facing away from earth) of the moon and get nearly 360 degree coverage. You’d have to not literally be on the boundary/leave an earth sized gap in the coverage, but it would be pretty damn close.

But it claims it will become decentralized (unless something has changed in the last month or so).

Pretty sure these people are trying to build a stylish helicopter more than anything else.

It looks like it’s a giant quadcopter with wheels and a car shaped shell. It’s hard to believe it has the lift to lift multiple people anyways…

I’m betting on ultralight. And toy for rich people, not for practical use.

Just in case you’re not aware, armored trains are (or were) a thing. In the US they were used from the US civil war to early in the cold war (at the end there to transport nuclear weapons).

In the rest of the world… the most recent use is by Russia in their invasion of Ukraine.

It’s literally a fork of wine.

But from a practical perspective, you tell steam to start the game and it starts it, installing and using proton as necessary. If the developers haven’t configured it you have to first click a button in preferences that says “use proton” (paraphrased), but that’s it.
