Is Glycemic Index important for healthy people or is it mainly of concern to people with diabetes? The NHS suggests the latter, but it doesn't seem to have a very strong position - unlike the article, which seems very sure that high GI

It's probably because there is no known or proposed potential mechanism for how "vitamins could help [your] cancer". I bet most doctors try to keep up to date on scientific studies that show promise. Rather than say "no&

There would be even greater antitrust concerns if Alphabet had a non-ads business that also brought in $100B/year. Ads is down to 85% of their revenue - they have created vast non-ads businesses which are still dwarfed by their 20% Y

The situations that call for a pilot rather than an AI can only be trained for in a simulator. The (few) hours in a simulator are probably far more valuable in an emergency than the thousands of hours of real flight.

This seems very absolutist. If we assume the technology exists to make this safe, there are a number of factors that would make this obviously less risky: 4 people per aircraft reduce the number of lives at risk from any particular issue. T

I'm sure it would be a decade-long task. But I'm not sure it's monumentally harder than either the process for piloted aircraft, or the task of automating the aircraft in the first place. And you can much more easily demonstr

I would have thought any new transport technology would be heavily automated - from a brief look these require 1 pilot per 4 passengers. Not that it would be easy, I'm just surprised something so ambitious doesn't also include aut

I wonder if this power could be useful to generate diverse viewpoints. Even though the ideas would not be genuinely novel, the fact that the model has effectively read most of the internet could still be useful. You could imagine using a pa

The speed of sound is vaguely the speed at which air can get out of the way. If you try travelling faster than that the air bunches up into a shockwave, which causes all kinds of problems and is generally different to travelling through air

If the pushback were against corporate shallowness, you'd expect at least one comment would include a suggestion of what they could do instead. But the comments here so far don't seem to do that, they seem to just be against this,

If you agree with their premise that "some people might be made uncomfortable by the existing wording", surely removing it helps those people? Is this the last remaining piece of racism in our society? No.
