Is it now known that light is the primary mechanism? It's crazy that we still don't know for certain. Being outdoors also often means just looking at things that are further away as well as more eye movement.

If you had to do it over again, which procedure would you choose, or would you skip it altogether due to the potential risk?

Nor is such a company productive when looked at from the outside. Google might be a good example of this. Each team likely seems productive internally because they come up with new products quickly but customers wonder why the company is p

This works great until someone comes to the show with flashlight augmented with a simple chip to send the right frequency and does his/her own crowd painting :D

I would love to see an experiment where the only type of regulation allowed was to price unpriced externalities.

It's called Full Self Driving Beta. That means FSD is the goal not the reality. If you don't see the advantage until it is actual FSD, then simply wait to purchase/use it until it is out of beta.

Most investors in McDonalds are institutional and thus it's people's retirement and 401k money. That is generally actively used by people, and injected back into the economy. As long as population or automation continues to incre

Your inability to carefully prompt an LLM does not indicate an LLM's lack of ability to solve a problem.

There are also now enough people with solar that it may not be catastrophic. Many of those solar + battery systems have enough electronics to make syncing to grid relatively straightforward. I wonder how quickly you would see small neighbo

If this model spec represents the best school of thought of humanity, I kinda hope OpenAI fails at alignment. - Assume best intentions from the user or developer - Don't try to change anyone's mind - Follow the chain of command Ta

Ridiculous to say "follow the chain of command" without defining the chain of command. The entire point of Asimov's stories was to show how much latitude there is even seemingly extremely clear and straightforward laws. In t

Yes, there's something deeply unsettling about making a user feel heard while being careful not to change anyone's mind. To me, this translates to: waste a user's time and take no action. I value my time above all else so to

I'm not sure moderation is that much better. Some moderators strive to be fair but the majority will still vote and moderate based on preferences. There's also the quantity issue, most low-value comments don't break any rul

The problem with Usenet style interfaces isn't just spam, it's low value comments. Comment voting somewhat solves this but most people vote based upon how much they agree rather than the comment's discussion value.

A key aspect that you didn't mention is consistency. This is what explains the behavior of both sides. Customers generally know that Starbucks is not the best coffee you can get, but they don't have to be the best. Just like any

The world has mostly been changed by those who went off and built something themselves or with a small group. Let's not forget that the world's largest famine was only 60 some years ago and was due to someone persuading a country

To subtly imply that the articles are of such sublime quality that they will still be referenced in 10,000 years.

My idea can't be wrong, it's the world that must change. That about summarizes these types of articles. Solutions that do not require the world to change its behavior should be favored. Perhaps we could launch seed containers in

They were and still are effectively donating capital. It take quite awhile to make a return on EV charging investment especially since EVs are relatively rare and EV charging tech is relatively new and requires a lot of maintenance to keep

House of Cards did a good job of showing just a handful of the ways that favors are traded (or power subtly asserted) between the intelligence agencies and politicians. The founding fathers understood this risk and went to great lengths to

I hope you don't take part in any modern medicine because almost every modern procedure was built upon a long history of extremely risky experiments that probably should have never been allowed.

What action can they take? As long as there's a market, there will be supply.

These 28 will likely get quite the settlement, employees are foolish not to participate. Can Google afford to take this to trial in the Bay Area? Nope so they will have to pay out.

You could adjust the focal point and use multiple reflector satellites and it likely wouldn't be super noticeable from the ground.
