These temperatures are non negotiable by my wife. Women will burn the planet.

This would be the funniest scene, at the last moments of the movie "Artemis: Forward to the past"

It is a major event but only in some terms:

1) it feels like a movie series, sensational, scientific and humane

2) comparing it with the previous attempt 5 decades ago leads to interesting conclusions about our technological progress and limits

3) it's almost useless and I didn't expect NASA and the Congress to pour billions for a 10-day ride

Wish them all good and safe return to home.

My kids are exactly the same age. The younger already ordered Lego Nr 42221 for his Easter present.

The luckiest were us that got into adulthood during the 90's. Traditional studying at school and full digital afterwards. The last generation. That's the cause of the reverse Flynn effect: diminishing IQ of 18-yo's after 1995.

As is usual for such a distant past, we can't answer basic questions: how many persons and where they were distributed, how their evolution and life was and mostly why intermediate species between modern human and the rest of primates don't survive today.

Now it's evident that a Rep POTUS mainly surrenders to the military/oil regime while a Dem to the banks/funds one. Tech and movie industry usually follow and adapt to the leader.

So many lessons from this. Never use Family Link, never keep multiple accounts on a device, always be prepared for the disaster. One must suffer for the rest to learn. Google is a shefferd for our digital life.

After 20 years as a doctor, if any AI rivals my expertise (mental/neuro disorders) then, I believe, it will deserve the Nobel prize. There are so many fuzzy factors and interconnecting mechanisms in the human biochemical factory, examined with both rigor and intuition, that one cannot encode even for one patient. Medicine is easy as science but difficult as art.

Being on topic, the best is to enhance the doctor's opinion with an AI helper but never completely remove him/her.

Modern AI absolutely excels at wrangling "fuzzy factors and interconnecting mechanisms".

That's the one lesson we learned in this AI wave quick. Things that used to be "a computer can't do it because it's not a formal task and it doesn't have the intuition for it" are now well within AI's reach.

Life is still hard to encode in digital format and there are two objects: the doctor's brain and the patient's body. Today the first step is the most difficult: the data to train on and the prompt to infere from, which, for medicine, need deeper and wider LLMs. Let's not talk about the acceptable failure rate and who takes the responsibility after a disaster.

Fire, pets, electronic chips, all advanced human civilisation step by step in different stages. It's hard to estimate the relative importance of each.

Speaking so generally, the ancient Greeks noted that all these are means for achieving higher goals. How many people think about that today? Quantity is not followed by quality.
