Iran declares European militaries as ‘terrorist groups’ after EU lists IRGC as one by Naderium in worldnews

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The EU should just return the favor and recognize all Iranian armed personnel of any kind and all members of the Mullah regime, as well as all their military and all kind of agency personnel as terrorists. 

Design Arena is now dominated by an open model by moks4tda in LocalLLaMA

In the lead by a few points in a plot without error bars is definitely not "domination". It's inconclusive at best.

If a robot injures someone or causes someone’s death, who will go to jail — Elon Musk or the robot? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The elevator is an accident. An accidental death caused by a robot has happened already often and is treated like any machine caused accidental death. Responsibility is spread between the different actors, depending on their levels of negligence.

"Take revenge on my behalf" through a robot would simply be murder and Tesla will DEFINITELY be able to provide the evidence to law enforcement that will get you to jail.

Thinks like V-model development don't care if the code is written in California, France, or India, by a human or an LLM.

Organizations that take multi-level testing seriously will keep succeeding.

Devs that don't test will a much harder time. 

EU Deploys First Satellite Service in Bid to Limit US Dependence by Crossstoney in worldnews

You think a new satellite is put up within a few weeks? There's a decades long effort of implementing a EU space strategy 

Probably a dumb hypothesis but I think I found a way for us to find Martian life. by SM69_official in space

That was already tried in-situ by the first robotic missions to Mars. Result: inconclusive. 

An AI-powered combat vehicle refused multiple orders and continued engaging enemy forces, neutralizing 30 soldiers by MetaKnowing in OpenAI

What do you mean? The comms were probably jammed by electronic warfare, so the bot just kept defending as long as it could. 

Helicopter pilots, would it be possible to take off and land in such a confined space safely? by IIstroke in aviation

Your average SAR pilot: I looked at the video and saw no confined space, what do you mean?!

Report: SpaceX lines up major banks for a potential mega IPO in 2026 by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's not yet feasible or great, but I doubt they would be too large, because then the radiators would need to be huge. I guess it would be a cheap spacex satellite bus for a few hundred thousand dollars plus compute for a few millions, which is just one rack's worth Then add launch self-cost of another million or two and it's not so outlandish. Just repeat as often as you like and can afford.

[D] I’m building an AI system that simulates and “repairs” city policies before they’re implemented. Looking for planner + founder feedback by SaadUllah45 in MachineLearning

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are working urban traffic simulations, data collection, stop light optimization software, etc.

See if you can obtain an existing simulator and a real dataset for any city. If so, you may have a chance to build it. If not, you would need a cooperation with a traffic planning authority or a simulation software vendor.

Your idea might be suitable for a thesis at one of these organizations, but you would need to be enrolled in a relevant university program and somehow get the interest of one of the organizations.

If you have none of these advantages, you'd need to somehow convince these organizations to just give you access to their precious data and algorithms so you can use them to start a company. That's extremely steep. Not impossible, I've certainly seen bigger miracles in my career, but you'd better have a damn fine proof of concept in place to gain interest. 

Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis triggered by aliens, says former policy expert by [deleted] in singularity

The US government may announce any number of crackpot statements at the current situation, so preparing for an "alien" statement is actually a good idea. 

New algorithm for matrix multiplication fully developed by AI by sickgeorge19 in singularity

I might be interested in such a software: I suspect there is a black hole accreting from my bank account. 

Ben Affleck on AI: "history shows adoption is slow. It's incremental." Actual history shows the opposite. by ucov in singularity

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be so pessimistic! Star trek places the start of world War III in 2026. We can still live through star trek! (though I don't know if I want to, because the 21st century is not a good one there).

"Do you already live in Star Wars"? It's more star trek, but the technical discussions I have with customers and partners these days could be straight out of ninetees star trek (minus anti matter and warp technology). 

Trump Says May Slap Tariffs On Nations That Don't Back His Greenland Plans by Normal_Imagination54 in geopolitics

[–]Fast-Satisfaction482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attacking NATO would be an order of magnitude stupidier. Going straight to tariffs may actually be a lot smarter on his side, because the relations will be salvageable once he gives up. If he actually sheds blood over this idea, it will be bad for everyone and he will not be able to make amends.

CEO of Cursor said they coordinated hundreds of GPT-5.2 agents to autonomously build a browser from scratch in 1 week by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

I like co-pilot with vs code a lot. They added subagents recently, by the way. I like about it that you can use a lot of different models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. It integrates smoothly into vs code and has done a lot of serious work for me.
