"Jacob Arnold, 30, a sterile processing tech"

Is his ability to bear children important to the story?

From a utilitarian pov yes. But that's completely missing the artistic point. Why shoot a film when you could just feed the script into an AI?

It could recreate missing episodes using the extant episodes. That's something worthwhile doing until someone finds them. It's not creating a complete new series.

People want to find the missing episodes because of their historical value as actual human artistic creations, and not because they want to watch a thing that looks like an old missing episode.

There would be as much value in an "AI-recreated" missing episode as there would be in taking the audio of a modern episode and using AI to create a new video track for it.

Sorry, no, that is absolutely not something worthwhile spending energy on

Even if it's motion comic level animation, it'd still be nice to see combined with the audio recordings.

Could you explain this to a non USian???

They're referring to increasingly partisan Supreme Court Justices

Or a USian who has no idea which lawyers you are referring to obliquely, so as to look "cool" and "knowledgeable", while avoiding communication with the sullied masses?

I don't think you're a silly billy. It's a legitimate thing to confuse, because they use the same words.

Ray casting and ray tracing used to be used interchangeably (see Wolfenstein 3D) until ray tracing became a different thing.

Mini computers used to refer to merely fridge sized computers.

I'm sure theres more examples

So if c is easier. Why are we using JavaScript???

Who knows?

It's not even ambiguous; JavaScript uses syntax inherited from C, so if you can program in JavaScript, you can program in C, where you get a performant, stable, and simple standard library, instead of the framework-of-the-month club in JavaScript.

Who is this 'we'?

The vast majority have this foisted upon them by a minority of managers/shareholders.

Technically it would depend on the colony.

The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all ex colonies and all use the cent. I'm sure there are a few more, we did get around a bit.

> Technically it would depend on the colony.

Fair point. I keep forgetting how many people have weird currencies outside of Merkia.

True. The other side of 'fair' in this situation is what was the company earning.

Busting a gut to make some shareholders/managers loads of money isn't exactly fair if you aren't also being rewarded.

On the other hand, in the UK the NHS has traditionally paid people extra on the understanding that these things happen. But when it did happen the staff were asking for even more. I know this probably comes across as right wing, but my point is how we reward people for black swan events.

> Busting a gut to make some shareholders/managers loads of money isn't exactly fair if you aren't also being rewarded.

Exactly. But it's not a matter of “being paid more than the marginal value of the additional work” as microeconomics tend to frame those things.

Symmetrically, people routinely accept pay cut or degraded work conditions when the company isn't going well, even though it makes no sense from a game theory perspective (it's basically a prisoners' dilemma yet people cooperate most of the time).

By the same token, if the AM radio is receiving something other than AM, it isn't an AM radio.

Or we could just use words that are useful for communicating things.

Don't forget the trade war with the US.

Don't know why it took so long though. I knew they needed this when wikileaks was cut off from everything.
