AI can absolutely create decorative items that may be pleasing to the eye, like many an unskilled artisan who has learned to replicate a decorative form (or Romero Britto, FTM) , but it is not art. Art is a response from the artist, often provocative, that channels their consciousness into their creation.
They should've looked at the abandoned Aerojet facility in Miami - quick intracoastal access up to Cape Canaveral from here. https://www.abandonedfl.com/ae...
I agree with the statements about Apple's podcasts app - the shortcomings made me finally switch to the frequently recommended "overcast" app and after a few days of it I'm regretting not switching sooner
currently completing 3-6 monthly, depending on workload. It would've been 6-10 in the past but as the need for glasses grew my pleasure reading time declined

Spider Kiss/Harlan Ellison (1st time) Complete Sherlock Holmes/Arthur Conan Doyle (re-reading the collection) Sorcerers Ascension/Brock Deskins (new, amazon freebie) The World Until Yesterday/Jared Diamond (1st time) Man & Spirit: The Speculative Philosophers (re-read) The Center of the Cyclone/John S. Lilly (re-read)
definitely, except more complex patterns that spirograph was capable of. The real-time flexibility of adjusting the patterns (and the apparent ability to morph into 3-d projections) are really neat.
Anyone not familiar with MAPS: Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies should check them out and support them if possible. They have been at the forefront of supporting research and helping researchers navigate the complex legal/political terrain for decades. Highly recommended group.
...and his characterization of the Intercept as a "leading American news outlet". Ha!
but otherwise I believe you are correct. Her actions if accurately reported did not constitute anything that could be justified under whistleblowers by any stretch, and she did clearly violate her security clearance and responsibilities.
At least, unlike Snowden, she didn't in it for self-aggrandizement and more nefarious purposes.
Two people, snacks & parking in Miami Beach easily can exceed $50. I have a home theatre with a 104" screen, so I'd absolutely go for this over dealing with going to the local AMC for most films. The only time it doesn't make sense is for movies which I'm the only one that wants to watch them.
to phrase it like that - it's far far far better to scrub a launch with the slightest potential for error than to have a failure. The launch director must always err on the side of caution.
I was reading the article earlier, and I used to do this with a mandrake distribution on an old PC via iptables. I'd do it again, but I don't see any of these mini PC's that have 3 or more gigabit LAN ports so that I can preserve the load balancing setup I have with the cisco RV320 i'm currently have.
Anyone seen any of the low cost boxes with 3 or 4 gigabit ports? I realize that potentially a USB ethernet dongle might be possible, but I doubt any USB-based solution would be robust enough.
Claiming that because some group may have some percentage of bad actors does not justify the criminal behavior in any way by police officers. In Miami Beach, the PD has a documented history of attacking anyone documenting crimes by police officers and destroying evidence. Bad officers are bad officers are bad officers and should in all case lose their certification and jobs. Any officer that breaks the law is violating their oaths and obligations to society.
When I canceled my disc service a about 18 months ago, it was nowhere close to that fast a turn-around anymore. For many years, if I watched a movie right away and sent it back the next day, most weeks I'd have two different movies. 7-9 movies a month. By the end, if they got the returned disc on a thursday, it would be tuesday or wednesday of the following week before I got a new one. It was down to 4-5 a month, at higher cost. And I'm not in a rural area, I'm in a major metropolis with a NetFlix distribution center.
Netflix was good, especially when it was reasonable to have both streaming and discs - but when the price went up dramatically to have both, it became less and less appealing. I finally ended disc service because my queue was loaded up with discs that showed "short wait", then "long wait", then "unavailable" without ever becoming available. Things were disappearing completely from the queue as well. Having only streaming became less and less worth it because when they did their purges in the past, I always had some discs in the queue to keep me reasonably satisfied. But having only streaming made the purges too painful to keep giving them money.

Worse, Roger Stone didn't have to put up a penny to get out on bond.
the rule should be "For the purpose of liability and insurance requirements, any self-driving car is considered as being driven by the CEO"
So when Jack Krafcik goes to jail for one of the cars killing a pedestrian or passenger then maybe they'll slow down the rollout.

John C. Lilly - whoops.
thanks for the link to edge.org - now something else to keep in my list.
In return I gift you the entire collection of Manas - Explorations in Ethical Thought

I haven't seen such a fun pattern-based game since some of the early mandelbrot fractal generators. Cool concept and execution.

Yes, I've been wondering the same thing! Get this crap off the site!
a) nothing to do with slashdot's "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters".
b) blatantly partisan
c) questionable news source
Crestron integration!

TecNica was one with a focus on Nicaragua and Africa. Sadly they appear to no longer be active.

Came to say this - the description sounds exactly like they are using a layer of wax.
