(Ignore my laziness with the Indiana routes) anyways a #proposed #amtrak network. North East Regional could be renamed Tidewater and go Norfolk-Boston S. There would be a Virginian Service Newport News-Cumberland, MD to provide limited express services between the #MARCBrunswick line & #VREFredricksburg line (with potential extension to Doswell and Richmond) plus a possible VRE network to serve greater Richmond and Williamsburg/Hampton Roads replacing NEC service

New grubs landing in #ubuntu #proposed with 2.12 memory management, allowing us to allocate large initrds. I could allocate 1G in qemu, on a 4k laptop it might be about 400MB - framebuffer eats space too.

So, i #proposed in a paper that we should conduct a #survey for potential habitable transiting planets around more mass stars that are located close to the #ecliptic plane. Previous studies had already noted that #star systems near the ecliptic, the plane of #Earth's orbit of the #Sun, would be able to view the Earth in #transit.

Such a survey would give a short list of mutually detectable targets. We can then listen or look out for signals from them. (12/n)

#BOOK AND #ARREST #ASAP! without prejudice!

About four years ago, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was appointed to the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence by the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

It was a powerful perch.

Congress tasked the new group with a broad mandate: to #advise the #U.S._government on how to advance the development of artificial intelligence, #machine_learning and other technologies to #enhance the #national_security of the #United_States.

The mandate was simple: Congress directed the new body to advise on how to enhance American #competitiveness on AI against its #adversaries, build the AI workforce of the future, and develop data and ethical procedures.

In short, the commission, which Schmidt soon took #charge of as chairman, was tasked with coming up with #recommendations for almost every aspect of a #vital and emerging industry.

The panel did far more under his leadership. It wrote #proposed legislation that later became #law and #steered billions of dollars of #taxpayer funds to #industry he helped #build -- and that he was #actively_investing in while running the group. If you're going to be leading a commission that is #steering the direction of government AI and making recommendations for how we should promote this sector and scientific exploration in this area, you really shouldn't also be #dipping your #hand in the #pot and #helping_yourself to #AI_investments.

Five months after his appointment, Schmidt made a little-noticed #private_investment (AKA INSIDER TRADING) in an initial seed round of financing for a startup company called #Beacon, which uses AI in the company's #supply_chain products for #shippers who manage freight #logistics, according to CNBC's review of investment information in database Crunchbase.

The commission was, by design, an outside advisory group of industry participants, and its other members included well-known tech executives including

WELCOME TO #ORGANIZED_FAMILY OF #CROOKS

AKA #ILLEGAL #TECH_WANNABEES MAFIA

ALL #THIEVES AND #LOSERS!!

#Oracle CEO #Safra_Catz, Amazon Web Services (#aws) CEO #Andy_Jassy and #Microsoft Chief Scientific Officer #Eric_Horvitz, among #others??

Schmidt's investment was just the first of a handful of direct investments he would make in AI startup companies during his tenure as chairman of the AI commission.
"Venture capital firms financed, in part, by Schmidt and his private family foundation also made dozens of additional investments in AI companies during Schmidt's tenure, giving Schmidt an economic stake in the industry even as he developed new regulations and encouraged taxpayer financing for it," adds CNBC. "Altogether, Schmidt and #entities #connected to him made more than 50 #investments in #AI_companies while he was chairman of the federal commission on AI. Information on his investments isn't publicly available."

"All that activity meant that, at the same time Schmidt was wielding enormous influence over the future of federal AI policy, he was also #potentially #positioning_himself to #profit #personally from the most promising young AI companies." Citing people close to Schmidt, the report says his investments were disclosed in a #private_filing to the U.S. #government??????? at the time and the public and news media had no access to that document.

#CUBA INTERNET CONNECTION? #IS_IT_SAFE? In the #Aftermath of the #Cuban #Government's response to #Protests throughout the country, the #United_States government is weighing what options it has for #restoring #communication_services on the island nation. Internet service is currently #suspended throughout Cuba, and some ham radio frequencies are even being jammed in Florida, preventing even rudimentary communications with the island.

In an attempt to remedy the situation and reestablish communication networks in the one-party socialist republic, some officials in the United States government have #proposed #launching #sophisticated high-altitude #balloons made by #Raven_Aerostar over Cuba to provide wireless internet access from above. While the plan sounds good on paper, there are some doubts about how well it could work.

#Disco #Proposed #Kernel installed amongst other goodies, time for bed, really this time (:* Night

Oh and I'll snag the latest version of the #Disco kernel #Proposed while I'm here (:*

On the #Disco front the dependency conflicts have been sorted out on the main server, upgrading 140 packages now. #Proposed

Reinstalled the newer version of #ClamAV on the laptop. I'd removed it because it appeared it wasn't keen on the new kernel that was installed on #Disco #Proposed Thought I'd see if the new version would work, turns out it does, but in the process of removing it I got rid of the shell script I used to check downloads using inotify and I've forgotten where I got it from.

Not that there's any great risk, but it was nice to have.

I don't even use #PHP I just got annoyed at yet another constant error warning in /var/log/syslog #Disco #Ubuntu #Proposed

Meanwhile, latest thing to need to do, sudo apt remove php7.2-intl, so that '/usr/lib/php/sessionclean' can run successfully without moaning about a missing symbol in intl.so after a #Proposed #Disco package update.

I like running development versions of distros. #Disco just got the 5.0.0 #kernel (Bit of a hop up from 4.19) in its #Proposed branch.

In case anyone is wondering, #Firefox in #Proposed #Disco #Ubuntu is now version 66.0~b13+build1-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 rather than *~b12+build1-*

Though it turns out I might be here longer, firefox-dbg is a bit large and there's an update for it on #Disco #Ubuntu #Proposed
