Hypothesis : Result of last years bomb-scare and evacuation?


Or Caesar's being hacked last year and a belief (right/wrong/indifferent) that they don’t want to be hosting the kind of folks who could do that.

It's really much more likely the people that are in the business of defending against just that.


The world trembles as a world-class AI researcher takes an interest in a factory automation game :)


Isn't that what Musk actually does? Makes the machines that makes the machines. :)

Every one who works for him should know that we need to ditch our burner inserters asap and get to ... wait, not solar... solar + nuclear with a circuit to turn it on and off depending on steam.


Ever heard of grey goo? ;)


Yeah there have been a couple of attempts, mostly leaning on the "recursive blueprints" mod:

Taking huge inspiration from Folding@Home, and my teenaged fascination with SETI@Home, I threw together a prototype framework to distribute small-molecule "Docking" experiments to tackle the coronavirus epidemic.

Source code is here : https://github.com/cjmielke/quarantineAtHome

We currently have about 50 volunteers pitching in both CPU and GPU compute time, and we have already performed >100,000 docking experiments against two of the coronavirus proteins. You can see which proteins we are targetting here : https://github.com/cjmielke/quarantine-files/tree/master/rec...

Want to join the community? Windows and Mac builds are available, but you power users can jump right in with a docker image :

CPU : sudo docker run -it -e ME=<YourUserName> cjmielke/quarantine_at_home:quarantine

GPU : sudo nvidia-docker run -it -e ME=<YourUserName> cjmielke/quarantine_at_home:quarantinegpu

Ask me anything!


I currently work at one of the largest hospitals in the country. Can confirm! The corruption in the healthcare sector is disgusting and hard to fight. I blew the whistle and got retaliated against, in complete violation of CA law. Tempted to go to the press.


This is also what I don't understand. Why tempted? You should have done it already


Easy. Doing so is career suicide.


This is indeed what I've learned.


Career suicide would imply that the corruption you're talkin about is the kind that gets people arrested. At least tip off the appropriate agencies off the top of my head I don't know who you are but the FBI sounds like a good one


Nothing arrestworthy, but definitely shameful behavior of a high-ranking hospital official allegedly defrauding a large multinational company and attempting to shift blame to low-level employees that had zero involvement.

MDs no less! Forget the Hippocratic Oath!

Perhaps white-coat fraud is the equivalent of white-collar-crime in the public health world. Nothing matters more than the bottom line. Not even human lives.


Better headline : "FaceBook disrupts the phonebook business with knew lookup app"



We're all safe if none of us get seduced by sleezy suspicious sexy cylons

Avoid Tinder


Doh!


Only if the fuel cooling ponds double as a "small world" boat ride.


If you think about it, it seems that the industry here is obsessed with solving all kinds of theoretical AI risks.

We should probably get a resolution on the table banning the use of ED-209s before people get killed.
