@AlisonCreekside @gemelliz @Norlaine I don't trust them at all. They've become like stock market gurus...bullshit and fuzz. I have never forgotten on the morning of Trump's victory HuFFPo declaring 98% confidence in a Hillary landslide. It's all bollocks.

"It is not the case that “AI gathers data from the Web and learns from it.” The reality is that AI companies gather data and then optimize models to reproduce representations of that data for profit."

"The productivity myth suggests that anything we spend time on is up for automation — that any time we spend can and should be freed up for the sake of having even more time for other activities or pursuits — which can also be automated."

@sullybiker @arstechnica @AirlineReporter Something to watch for as they continue as part of the Crew-9 rotation of space station crew... So far every astronaut who has flown the first crewed flight of a new spacecraft has been inducted to the Astronaut Hall of Fame after completion of their mission. Big feathers in their caps.

@AstroHawk @arstechnica I felt bad for them in the sense that this program must have been professionally so exciting. Williams having to hang out on the ISS sounds amazing, but she's been there and done it. They must be privately disappointed they could not complete their program.

@LifeTimeCooking That looks great! I really like Lebanese style; such great vegetable dishes and white meats.

@dch Was it..2003? I think Germany and several neighbors had severe flooding and they flew in volunteers to help.

@dch Water where water isn't supposed to be is awful. I hope the city gets through without too many problems.

@scattapilla Oh my God people just have no idea. You end up broken, or running the country.

@yngmar I can still feel my back tightening when I think of a bolt just losing all resistance as the thread in the block gives up.

@nyquildotorg She also does that thing where she blames Trump for Obama's policies, but this is normal now.

@yngmar At least they're not so fussy with alignment like a shaft fitting.
