It does look like this has been studied: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29789085/ and found no significant effects. So quite possibly an adaptive response?

You've got to actually get the hardware to a lab. And then put it through some type of process without losing state: the question is very much, how? There aren't a lot of options here. More over you're doing the classic thing

I'm not implying permanent effects. The studies involved show a marginal reduction in cognitive reasoning on standardized tests. Which is the point: if you're in a room trying to do deep work, that's likely a problem. I suspe

It does? Because from recent US election results the exact opposite would seem to be true.

This is extremely wrong: CO2 impairment kicks in around 1000 ppm[1] possibly lower. You can hit this breathing by yourself in an unventilated 3x3m room (literally measured in my house). 1 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article

This is in theory not a problem: getting an oxygen sensor to 700 degrees if it's a tiny spec on a chip is not necessarily hard or would even require a lot of power. But...oxygen concentration is essentially indepedent of CO2. We measur

Thank you I was about to post this. The most absolutely infuriating thing about fertility rate discussions is the conclusion everyone draws of "obviously people aren't having enough sex". I was sexually active for over 15 yea

The seized device scenario is starting to get very specific though: in the actual cases it's relevant like the Silk Road take down the device was intercepted while open. It's of some frustration to me that more security devices do

In the grim darkness of the AI boom everyone is watching high profitability industries move into areas characterized by having few providers due to incredibly poor margins and high expenses and declare it business genius.

The distinction has always been assinine. An agnostic and atheist both live their lives as though there is no god. Because it is equally meaningless to say "there might be a god" but describe no further characteristics of such an

Yes: the RDP experience is even if I just walk away, when I log in from somewhere else the local session is locked and inputs disabled. Then if I walk back to that console and log in, I can go back to using it directly. Near as I can tell n

Honestly if this actually worked to fold laundry, teleoperation or not, I'd buy it. Just prove to me it's deaf. I don't care who sees me naked that's their problem not mine.

Had a look and the "locked local session" problem is still not solved. The gui would be unlocked and visible on the host the whole time.

Or we could ask "what the hell are they talking about" and "can they cite even one single bit of useful peer reviewed evidence about this?" Coz really that seems like the foundational problem here: claiming something rat

That's a lot of words to act like a total tool towards people born from IVF and their parents.

I read the article and it conjectures a bunch of stuff but fails to prove it or link relevant studies. So consider then: we just did a round of "gloves are contaminating basically all micro plastics research" - it might be worthwh

Windows has quite a lot of remote admin tools that work pretty transparently over the network though. The issue is that they're historically never turned on or heavily restricted. Where the user is involved though RDP is a world class

I mean that's true but the number of UIs which simply don't add access to necessary features in the name of "simplicity" is enormous. The poster child of this is the Microsoft Office ribbon.

Because a shell is an ergonomic programming language. If you compile a binary then you're implementing another programming language interpreter. AFAIK the Go jupyter kernel does something like this but it sequentially links previous co

Worse is that LLMs are trained to be persuasive by default. The "you're absolutely right..." stereotype is because these things are A/B tested on response quality and we know from studies people reliably rate vibes bette

Go has a fast enough compile speed I feel like you could syntactically sugar it to be a command line.

That's the point: you're going to spend a lot more time compressing when you could've just been sending data. And you're eating into a limited overall power and weight budget to do rather then say, run the science on th

Distant space probes are power constrained though. It's entirely possible the degradation of their RTG power sources would be more expensive doing the compression then just sending the data as is.

I have Mullvad to avoid age check gateways, not super anonymity. I'll absolutely be taking my business elsewhere.

Requiring one function does not require the other though. "Corporate personhood" is a legal concept where how person-like a corporation is can be defined in whichever way is convenient to how we want the law to operate.

That was the Citizens United reasoning yes and it was wholly absurd unless you really wanted to empower the executive class.
