Did you drop this /s?

Why all the effort? Wait a few weeks and Microsoft will have renamed it themselves anyway.

Well, there really are a lot of Chinese tourists around in NL, and groups of them do have an odd tendency to discuss things and look for guidance on their phones in the strangest places. Next to general tourist things I mean, like going to stop and look around at the top of a busy and fast moving escalator :) so I get why it ends up in a book. Is that racism?

Ah ha ha turning the picture upside down to give us anxiety hm? Not gonna fall for that trick!

“This Obama… is it in the room with us now?”

This is my primary point of hate on genai: they are barely more ai than flipping Markov Chains or Horse_ebooks.

Also, I think the Register’s point was not about feasibility or profitability even, but more that no one at STEP can explain where the money is going at all; it might be research and reactor, but just as well shiny new macbooks as a New Year’s present for everyone and ’is mum.

Cold fusion is a different and entirely mythical idea.

And I agree, I meant that I’ve heard both hot and cold fusion predicted.

Great, massive step forward. Rust’s memory safety will prevent potential PE vulnerabilities (and more).

You say that but I’m not sure

I’m not quite the brightest bulb in the package, can someone please explain? Does it have anything to do with the missing “of” in “4 out 5 dentists”?

Be that as it may, I’ve been hearing that (cold) fusion is just 30 years away for about 40 years now. I appreciate the effort but simply burning money would probably have generated lots more energy than fusion.
Grumpy whining aside, the problem here isn’t the expensive research per se, but more that STEP can’t explain where all the money is going into:

As for what STEP has done to encourage that added investment, that’s anyone’s guess - by all accounts it doesn’t seem like a lot has happened with the project of late.

Ooh swear word bingo

Username checks out

Aw poor Israel getting bombarded? Let’s see… who started chucking missiles first hmmm? Oh yeah!

Wait wat, grovelling and eating grub and dirt? /s

Nee dat is wéér anders. Even kijken … út it Fryske lân komt een mân mè lânge tân… of zo.

Dutcher than Dutch, don’t worry. Good to have you back mate!
