Well AI is the exploration of how to reason about how reasoning occurs. Which is why early on there was massive progress in areas such as constraint solvers and recursive problem solving (like SHRDLU) but once we started to try to do things that we don't know how we do (like look at a picture of a bird and know it is a bird) things basically slowed nearly to a stop until computing grew to the level brute force solutions could be tested.
We need nuclear recycling NOT nuclear waste storage.
If a mining company found a 94% pure ore in the ground, would they celebrate their luck or complain that it isn't 100% pure and thus could be sold without processing...
If nuclear energy used the same accounting practices as coal, oil or natural gas energy plants; they would have to pay their customers to hit zero profit.
no, the government doesn't serve the people it serves power.
Unless power thinks you as a group are worth the effort, they will ignore your mailed documents, state you failed to file paper work and you now have to deal with (problems incurred due to not having completed the paper work).
Paper processes are going away. Oh, they will keep mailing you stuff for a while but nations and states are implementing SSO systems and the scanning/indexing systems are disappearing. Replaced by "You scan and upload" combined with you extract the relevant bits so we can cut staffing again.
But the point was, there are no good XMPP libraries that would enable a willing government to easily onboard that support. If there were, it would be a very different discussion.
ssh -X ${hostname} works better than both even on ancient hardware (pre 1990)
If you are going to self-host please embrace a shell (bash, powershell, fish, zsh, etc) any shell; then you'll be fast and productive even at 300 Baud.
ok, lets just assume xmpp is reliable enough to use.
And a government agency is will to adopt it to prove that all out.
What libraries for Java/C# are available under an FSF approved license that would enable one to securely send XMPP messages to the public?
As governments don't like being mailed or emailed anything. They want you to login to a thin wrapper around a database and perform basic data entry so that they don't have to pay someone to do that data entry.
They are only going to message you to deal with password resets or data entry tasks they want you to do (legally required renewals, reviews, etc).
a liter of Urine in the fuel tank would disable them, so make sure plenty of restrooms are available.
A $5 magnet and $30 of electrical equipment could cause the electrical systems to permanently burn out as the induced voltage might go too high. so you may wish to ensure electrical diagnostic equipment is properly grounded and not connected to electrical mains.
Also be careful with unidirectional speakers, they can shatter windows and cause extreme disorientation in the drivers even if the children in the vehicle can't hear it...
Well governments will use any open standard that can reliably contact individuals (as that is the easiest way to do their jobs) That is why the 3 most supported options are:
mail
phone
email
They would use IRC, XMPP, Matrix, etc if they would reliably send you a message and enable them to reliably receive messages from you. The problem is that those options are not reliable.
The other alternative is they provide a website (that they control) that you can login in to but it is then on you to routinely login and people are bad at that and thus few organizations even support that approach.
Well water from the air might be useful in space but honestly a thermal cycle dehumidifier is pretty darn efficient
