They always call for 'further investigation'. Looking at this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.10356.pdf My general impression (no more than that) is a whole bunch of people crowding into a paper. The paper is m

I used it in a design. What I remember (it was a while ago) was the lack of OS and driver support from third party software houses. It was a mistake to use it.

I just think that's such a clever idea. It doesn't take a genius to go to JC when you're 15 years old and a lot of high school bullshit disappears. It's the sort of system that works only so long as not too many people

I'd warm up to that concept if the article was: "We don't know what in the hell is going on here. Here's our source code and data set of x-rays and race. What do you think?" It could be that in the realm of machin

If anything has changed urban design, I'd say that it's the huge growth and normalization of homeless populations. You'll see a disinterest in building urban parks, so-called 'hostile' architecture, less interest i

Just to throw this out there. https://c19ivermectin.com/ It's a pity that the whole issue has become politicized, but that's modern times for you. That's why ivermectin is called 'horse dewormer' r

That's a good answer, although the neo-Nazi groups appear more dangerous in terms of what they might do not what they do. It seems to me that the real threat here isn't so much terrorism (or things that rhyme) but given the amount

I just assume that any population level that can't be maintained on pre-20C. technology is probably dangerous. You'll either see a crack-up in terms of society and/or resource depletion at some point.

While I agree with you on overpopulation, I would guess that the 17B number comes from 8B * 2.something years. Back of the envelope, it's odd that air pollution is around 100x as bad as cigarettes (which admittedly not everyone smokes)
