Apple TV came after the switch to Intel processors, so you would have to have some kind of reverse-Rosetta layer to run it on a PowerPC Wii.

Tiger had a native PPC version too

Given the model is several years old, I assume this write up with its focus on incorporating domestic materials is so Mark Zuckerberg has something “America First” to point to next time he meets with Trump.

This is not to denigrate the work—experimental design can be a huge force multiplier and making it more accessible to people on the ground is a great thing to do. One of my favorite grad school courses was an experimental design class with four students where we spent about half of the semester doing real life experimental design for a chemistry phd student who was trying (and mostly failing, before we got involved) to create a molecular filter with specific properties.

When my first child was born the nurses had a terrible time drawing blood, so they gave him sugar water to calm him down billed at $40/5ml.

Wow, a sudden change in writing style that’s not at all intended to disguise the fact that you’re an llm!

I require at least some evidence.

Your own source says there is none.

I think they’re trolling you, see their username.

You chose your sources, not me.

Besides bloggers / youtubers who have written / talked about this, there's a single news story returned by Google, which I sourced. If there were other articles to source from, I would have. Given that our internet was created by DARPA and has always been under the control of intelligence agencies / governments, it's not shocking that there aren't a plethora of sources regarding Facebook emerging from DARPA.

yeah I'm sure an immensely powerful and shadowy conspiracy trusted their most critical operation to a 20 year old college dropout. Makes sense to me.

sure. I don't think its a strong argument. You can control someone for a bit, but giving a 20 year old that much power and resource over this long an amount of time is far too loose a leash to constitute a robust plan. If we're going full tin foil then I think its more likely he's literally a robot than a front man for some shadowy cabal.

> This is, of course, a nod to the classic comedy sketch by Vihart

As a big fan of Vi Hart I was surprised to read that she wrote or was involved in that "classic comedy sketch".

As far as I can tell, after a few minutes searching, she was not.

Many of the advances in biology in the middle of the 20th century were also helped along by physicists who switched to biology, often inspired by Schrodinger's What is Life? (1946). The list includes Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and (coming from physical chemistry) Rosalind Franklin.

> AI might give them good reasons for pros and cons.

This is what lawyers do, in their briefs and oral arguments before the court.

True. But if I was a judge I might want to consult AI to get a "neutral" opinion.

AI "neutrality" is a mirage. Hopefully the Supreme Court justices are smart enough to know that.

Hopefully. If they are smart they know that everybody can be wrong, therefore it is good to hear differing opinions and argumentation from multiple sources, in important matters.

Yes, that’s why they have lawyers submit briefs and make oral arguments.

I was very pleasantly surprised when they sent me free replacement hardware to reassemble an old ikea twin bed model that had been discontinued a number of years ago. I assume they use the same hardware in other models they still sell.
