Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

This is insanity.
An enemy within is destroying everything of value that belongs to the people.

Trump administration takes aim at satellite that measures carbon dioxide and crops

Some people keep saying "AI isn't just probabilities, AI understands," and then AI puts a toilet next to the office desk, both of which are in the kitchen with no sink.

This is not something an entity would do if it "understood" what those things are.

Earthion on Steam Earthion is a side-scrolling space shooter developed natively for 16-bit systems. Guide space fighter pilot Azusa Takanashi in her fight to repel the alien invaders and save planet Earth.

YES - Earthion is really good fun
Great graphics and sound. Concise levels that don't overstay their welcome
Range of difficulty options to suit all
Nice price

Only neg I can think of is I keep misreading the title as Earthlion... but that's just my brain :D

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong".

Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

It's so duff.

Google would only payout via this particular service , and only in USD. If Payoneer paid out to a different currency they would take a cut for themselves.

It's to drive folks into taking store credit option instead

PSA if you had to open a Payoneer account recently (eg to get a payment from Google etc), close the account once done with it else they bill you an annual inactivity fee.

Crapnackers!

I spoke with Torben Bakager, the co-creator of the influential Amiga shmups Hybris and Battle Squadron, about the impact of the Amiga launch on game dev 40 years ago.

Such a pleasureโ€ฆ my first computer, an Amiga, made me fall for shmups, and inspired my career choice.

This is great, as ever. When AI "lies" or "fawns", it is not because it is trying to please you. It's because that's the semantic search space the prompt has sent it to.
