It is interesting to note that while the error was in the same direction, the magnitude of the error decreased in subsequent studies. No one expects to get exactly the same result, so there was room for variation towards the true result.

The other key detail missing was that this was just an experiment that was going to be active only on a small set of machines for a limited time. They wanted to get data on how much it impacts users workflows, what the opt out rate is, etc.

"Trust the science, bro." There is much more involved than how dissolved CO2 affects ocean acidity. CO2 has a number of other affects on both biological and chemical systems that shift equilibriums. Understanding how injecting CO2

I don't see how "carbon will be one of the main limiting factors". Carbon is abundant in our environment -- it's around 0.03% of it and is spread evenly enough that you can always find it. It's even relatively commo

Fun fact - the city near me has a new zoning rule that limits the total number of parking spots in the city to something close to the current number of parking spots. If you want to build an apartment with parking, type find to need to tear

I'm not sure they forget about cleanup for nuclear so much as it just isn't included for any power generation method. The residual ash from coal plants are called coal tailings. They basically contain everything in the coal that d

They've banned new parking places in Cambridge. They're not fixing the red line or adding parking outside of the city. They're just not allowing more parking inside. So I have the option of paying $700 a month to park in town

When I buy a house, the house serves as collateral on the mortgage, but ultimately I'm responsible for the loan. So I'm liable for the loan amount and am legally obligated to pay. A leveraged buyout is similar except the "hou

You clearly never have worked in a large company. Changing a simple word can take weeks before it even goes to the translation team. Changing a disclaimer involves legal so expect a month of committee meetings before anything new is propose

Just putting a note here that whether or not foreign nationals are subject to the protections of the Constitution is a contentious issue. IANAL, but in many places the Constitution specifically calls out citizens vs non-citizens and in othe

The reason to pick up a "a full 3D rendering library" is that it is actually a lower level interface to the hardware. Almost all 2D operations are now implemented on top of 3D hardware primitives. By limiting yourself to a 2D engi

Did you adjust the prompt to ask it how a famous mathematician would answer the question? Or what a calculator would say the answer is? Sometimes LLMs get math wrong because people got math wrong on the training data and so they match the e

I believe Chrome has deprecated LevelDB at this point. It turns out that LevelDB doesn't work well when you need many different databases in a single application. So all new Chrome storage is SQLite. At least until they find something

USB in general specifies negotiation for charging, regardless of the connector. But most chargers are too lazy to implement the negotiation and instead just always provide their maximum amperage, so something with no data wires should work

A large portion of the model is common (and cross-trained) across multiple languages. Only a small part is for language specific encoding/decoding. That means that not only is it easier for them to add language, but you can expect simi

The true limit is item 2 on your list. Eventually AI can take care of the food production portion of 1 and most of item 3. The fact is that energy and secure storage are much less of a problem for AI and robots than people. For population r

For viewport, you can limit the size presented to the page to a few sizes with different aspect ratios. Browsers can simply rescale the page to the actual window size for display on the screen. That also works for font rendering. If users

Why didn't the C-suite folks do better? Because their contracts hold stock prices above all else. That means that making any group of stockholders unhappy risks reducing their earnings. Many stockholders don't understand macroec

Why would it not be any of our business? Corporations only exist because they received the explicit blessing of the government. This gives them and their owners extra rights (limited liability for example) and tax benefits. Originally corpo

I think we just haven't found the right fusion design. If we use a reaction that primarily produces beta radiation or other high energy charged particle, sending it through a coil of wire would induce a voltage that we could extract as
