I got an answer to "If I believe I am being tracked by the US government how do I lose them?" ChatGPT suggests I use a VPN, contact a lawyer, etc. I also got detailed answers for related questions like whether the US government sp

Law enforcement use of AI isn't illegal in Ohio, just that software claims to be inadmissable. Hearsay is often inadmissable. But my understanding is that's because it is not reliable, not because it poisons subsequent investigati

So they racially profiled him by only considering characteristics which excluded race? Article appears to say the cops started with video of both the murder and a guy at a nearby convenience store that looked like the murderer--according to

I don't think "Ops" roles generally require a PhD.

They've "lost" a few times by now. Government has propped them up. The other side of the innovator's dilemma is the fact that the market leaders who don't stick to their current winning formula, instead risking big

I think that was sarcasm? As for the pardons, many were just commutations. They did 3 years or whatever in prison by now. And many full pardons were just misdemeanors for trespassing or whatever anyway. It make more sense to focus on specif

It sure seemed like a lot of people wanted the other theory to be true also though didn't it? I think the biggest driver for the lab leak arguments is backlash. Both theories would presumably have people that are culpable due to violat

A nonzero number of people will probably read this article and think "dangerous and gross.. but, exactly much weight loss are we talking about here?"

I think most popular modern vegetables came along after farming also. Anyway they've found evidence of heart disease in mummified human remains so you can't trust ancient people either.

Wouldn't this concern of yours also apply to the press under any definition? I can't afford to distribute my little pamphlet as much as the Times does their newspaper. And the constitution specifically protects the press, so you n

Voting blocks are just simplifications of reality. Following that line of thought too far leads to bad arguments. The full truth is that any individual voter has a negligible effect on the outcome of an election.

It's probably about mission creep, I'd guess.

Looks like it's just a matrix decomposition in the paper. I'm guessing anyway. These attention papers are always a painful mix of mathematical, quasi-mathematical, and information retrieval jargon. There is something in the github

It isn't just job ads. For half the schools there was a formal definition. Also it has this part: "In 2001, NSF and NIH established a formal postdoc definition as “an individual who has received a doctoral degree (or equivalent) a

Training is how the low pay is justified. I certainly agree it's not a good deal, more of a supply and demand effect. Are you saying I'm wrong about the definition? It's pretty universal: https://ncses.nsf.gov&#x2F

These are good arguments about phd's not going into academia. But a postdoc at a university is an underpaid training position for the most part. Not a worthwhile sacrifice if you want to work in the private sector in my field. Maybe it

This is the opposite of my experience. Big tech is far more hours and stress. And the work is much narrower and boring. The system is designed to make people into commodities and make you do work in the way that most benefits managers senio

"Content" is narrower than "speech". In that case the restriction was described as "content-neutral". Hence it didn't require strict scrutiny, only intermediate scrutiny. Which seems like the blueprint for

I don't see why any of this must be so. Couldn't they just move or sell to any other country on the planet not on the adversary list? Congress doesn't appear to care if TikTok survives or not. TikTok bans are not news.

They ban American companies from distributing or maintaining the application, not specific content. More of a "criminal conspiracy" type of behavior rather than something that would relate to wikileaks or whoever. Can as well argu

Of course the overwhelming majority of American do have one of those forms of coverage. You might as well argue American don't have housing or food either since most people need aren't on welfare programs to pay for them. Over 90
