Yes, I'm aware. And that's my default minimum starting place which works until you realize that google maps routed you through a private gated road and you need to readjust and reroute while out of cell-range. Or a large section

>Who ever uses those built-in things? I do. I use it only as a backup or corroborating source of info in situations where the maps are never quite right, but that happens quite frequently. I spend a LOT of time out of cell-service thoug

Are we just ignoring the potential for totally novel forms of prion-like proteins? Like there are many other proteins. If another of them is prone to catalyzed misfoldings like prions are, that could be a seriously humanity-threatening ev

Hey FYI, this isnt the place for that type of comment. This isn't Reddit, and we don't want it to become such. Unnuanced, potentially inflammatory quips about a vaguely related current political situation just aren't appropr

If your business model relies on fairly draconian control over the liberties of individuals in ways that defy normal human social norms (like propagating and giving away plants), then its probably not the right business model. Not even jus

I actually think this is one area where AI and statistics applied to player behavior are actually the right answer, similar to how they catch chess cheaters. I've seen videos where cheats are particularly easy to detect if you are also

The transformer architecture absolutely keeps state information "in its head" so to speak as it produces the next word prediction, and uses that information in its compute. It's true that if it's not producing text, ther

No, it doesnt typically work that way at all. The tax man just wants to get paid. I grew up in an area known for people growing cannabis before it was legal. An enormous amount of taxes got dodged through cash land deals, but tons of peop

I think the AI is only as good as the person wrangling it a lot of the time. I think it's easy for really competent people to get an inflated sense of how good the AI is in the same way that a junior engineer is often only as good as

Observing passive observation systems over those distances is pretty unlikely even with an optimistic view of future technology. But perhaps not impossible. We have all kinds of space radars though that are active.

I totally agree! It's the first article from quanta that made me afraid.ofnthe direction they're going. Scientific American kept drifting to looser and looser footing through bad analogies and not talking about the underlying mat

For sure. I live in an area with superb air quality and going down to LA and trying to take a run feels like smoking a couple of cigarettes.

We can't REALLY answer questions about what's inside the event horizon, but some real work has been done on what BH mergers look like, though even that as I understand, is extremely difficult model. https://m.youtube.co

Even if the swept path issues were not an issue here, that method has been tried and tested, doesn't work, and is considered bad design practice in the field of traffic engineering. There's a great deal of evidenced backed enginee

Those are not the same at all. Search for "swept path analysis" for just one component of what you're missing. (There are many other components of design of a curve like this to consider.) A 90 degree change in direction is

No. I'm a licensed civil engineer in the US. The license comes with an explicit duty to the public, to uphold public safety. I am in responsible charge of the work I produce and personally liable for the safety of that work, in perp

Yeah as far as I know, in French words are always pronounced consistent with how they're spelled. The same is not true in English. Americans complain a lot about french spellings '-ioux', 'eau', etc. but they offer

That's certainly how CA gun laws are. They're almost all performative and make things very annoying or expensive for legal owners but do very little to dissuade illegal use. Yet, if you own guns and do anything with them, it can

Those benefits are taxed ad income under existing rules. It's not even close to being that easy to abuse.

It seems strange to me that someone would want to punish a corporation for maintaining a larger reserve with which to handle economic downturns and the like, allowing them to continue to pay and employ those same employees instead of just l

Depends on the kid too. All 3 of my kids could lift their head up when they were born. A couple of times I forgot all babies aren't like that and picked up a friend's baby without adequate support.

Most of the American parents I know practiced bed-sharing including myself. But we would also answer "no" when asked about at the doctor's office because that's the "right" answer. So... I am skeptical about a

Most people seriously looking to shoot down a drone would be using a shotgun and bird shot, so that's essentially a non-issue.

That makes sense and sounds consistent with what I was saying. I guess it wasn't clear to me what you meant by "biasing" the funnel. You obviously need to bias your recruitment efforts, and more than slightly if you want pro

That attitude is a very recent phenomenon and may not be as widely supported and obvious as you seem to believe. I for one use seat belts, and I want them to be required to be manufactured in vehicles, but I believe it should be a personal

Wrangling LLM's is remarkably like wrangling interns in my experience. Except that the LLM will surprise you by being both much smarter and much dumber. The more you can frame the problem with your expertise, the better the results yo

What's funny is my initial impression of Anglish is that it reminds me a lot of German.

Yes. The activity can be anything from exercise to manual labor, or being exposed to various bodily fluids. (I have kids.) My wife is a nurse and so she usually has a shower after work in addition to a morning shower.

Your reasoning is totally sound up until the final clause. The "correct" answer isn't biasing evaluation pipelines, it's ensuring you have proportional representation in the pool of applicants.
