I can’t believe how much people want to find a reason for this with great certainty. It’s impossible to prove either way…

We can conclude nothing, except that humans do stupid stuff and usually conspiracy theories are incorrect. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Do we actually know if NIH was doing gain of function research (on Corona viruses) in the Wuhan lab

The salary ranges in London are different than the US.

Arguably the cooperation between the US and China has lead to the most economic growth and prosperity in human history, it's a shame the US and China are returning to a former time.

So you want them to be infinitely more litigious? A serious question though, what does happen when AIs are filing lawsuits autonomously on behalf of the powerful, the courts clearly won't be able to cope unless you have AI powered cour

I would say social media should be required to put in 15 minute breaks every hour by default and maybe you can switch it off. That would be a reasonable compromise.

Can’t all of these things be said about light mode too? I find dark mode considerably better and would rather all sites offered a choice, especially the author’s!

When you have issues in different repos but in the same board it seems very confusing that you can create them and then have to assign them to a repo for them to move out of being a Draft issue (well maybe it is not an issue yet rather a ta

I wish we would ban social media for at least 2 days per week, these apps are extremely distracting and will be seen like gambling addiction in the future.

I do not understand this thinking at all, a parsed response into whatever rendering engine, even if extremely fast is going to be a large percentage of this 500ms page load. Diminishing it with magical thinking about pure database queries u

I doubt they attach like that I think it’s just for the video… looking again there are holes at the top and bottom of the joycons presumably for some kind of locking mechanism to fit into.

The NATO stuff is such propaganda, the idea has always been imperialism and to take the people and turn them into Russians.

Wow I did not know this and it is fantastic news, surprised Taiwan allowed this as they see chips as being the most important reason America would intervene if they were invaded.

How stupid, if you’re going to send bomb threats do it from someone else’s computer…

I don’t disagree but an issue could be that there’s plenty of people out there who would happily make up therapies that sound like they could work and take people’s money for unsound treatments.

“Breeding psychopathic cows seemed like a good idea until they took control” seems like a very weird comic book plot line or something :-)

Yes, it made me think about animals panicking so much before slaughter that they often have heart attacks. And dairy cows who have their babies slaughtered who cry for weeks. Maybe these are apocryphal stories, but we are very much trained

I’m looking forward to seeing what this makes of Simon Willison’s LLM SVG generation test prompt: “Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle”. It’s quite amazing the progress we are seeing in AI and it will keep getting better which is

To be fair the same is true for road cycling and drivers, I've had some very lucky encounters by predicting the worst possible outcomes and managing to get lucky enough to avoid them. Especially in the UK or US where the car rules the

I don't really mind how they police things and it's not the point of this announcement. The technology firms think Trump could be so dangerous to their businesses that they are willing to completely give in pre-emptively to this t

I want this for YouTube videos as well that can summarise the content and just take me to the things I would find most interesting in the video, almost like auto chapters that skip all the “and later we’ll be discussing really interesting t

I just did this and used the app Emma but it is awful at breaking down and categorising transactions and the analytics seems to take a back seat to selling you some debt or investments. I’m tempted to build my own to be honest I think there

Yes in mice but this is startling to me that you can just drop a random protein from one species and have it work in another. Whatever weird programming language life is made from it seems to be a surprisingly forgiving environment. I wonde

I have no idea what that includes? For example presumably Chinese goods that Americans buy are excluded? What about shipping? Etc.

War with China is starting to seem increasingly likely, we need to seriously prepare our industry now to manufacture things again and stop giving them our technology. The NSA/CIA need to start making systems more secure by default and

As per usual Elixir does this correctly and even has a setup that allows all tests to run against the database in a pristine way in parallel: https://hexdocs.pm/ecto_sql/Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.html

The people working on it will still be allowed to move companies and people talk to each other informally. These Chinese groups working on this with far fewer GPUs appear to be getting 10x results tbh. Maybe they have more GPUs than claimed

The last paragraph of the article hit me very hard: “I don’t know how I could have saved my son by teaching him to tell lies,” Ramarao said. “The ethics with which I raised him took his life today.” Even calling him a whistleblower is quite
