Maybe AI is good for something... (kind of).

From the page:
"... I have never, ever seen any topic provoke more apocalyptic levels of debate and outrage among technical types than the Fourier transform.

This tool must get misused and misinterpreted by more people than anything I've ever seen. ..."

I hope you guys realize this is actually the real Jesus, cleverly getting back in the game in a semi-covert way, after a 2000 year "vacation".

Personally, I'd pay extra to contact the actual God, if he isn't too busy, doing God knows what.

Lots of interesting points I hadn't heard about before in that article. Including this:

"The Transformer Crisis: From 30 Years to Three":
"...multiple Level 2 chargers operating on a single distribution transformer reduce its operational life from the typical 30-40 years to just three years."

From the video description:
"Spot the robot dog is Boston Dynamics’ flagship product — but the company still can’t find a use for it. ... the internet fame that made them known for robots that can seemingly do everything… except anything useful."

I'm sure Telsa's Optimus won't have this problem. /s

>"they might just be idiots":
Probably some, but you can get the same kind of bubble-making decisions from smart, generally successful people.

Smart, successful people can be the worst. That past success can make them overly optimistic, and willing to follow the current hopes-and-dreams stampede.

The WW2 dual-propeller P-38 used a similar approach:

From Google's AI-Overview:
"The P-38 Lightning's counter-rotating propellers significantly improved stability by canceling out engine torque and providing an exceptionally stable gun platform."

From some of the almost comically suspicious ads I've seen there, YouTube have a similar "problem" (or money-making opportunity from their viewpoint I guess).

Picking a name like "Cluster" shows the difficulty of choosing project or brand names that work in all major international contexts. As long as the name works in Europe (ESA), I guess that was the main thing.

I hope they haven't been reading the bible!?

"In 1 Samuel 15:3, God tells Saul to "utterly destroy" the Amalekites, killing "men and women, infants and sucklings, oxen and sheep, camels and asses". Similarly, Deuteronomy 20:16-17 instructs the Israelites to leave "nothing that breathes" alive."
