There's a damn good reason i hold very few bonds.

Impossible to tell, but there's factors making it more likely to happen this time than in previous generations. Probably the biggest factor is the declining population, which no government around the world has been able to materialise

As a kid i remember being fascinated by technical difficulties screens, EAS tests, etc. Generally anything that unwittingly revealed the technical aspects of running a broadcast station. This was before we really knew how to use the interne

It would be nice if health insurance were, well, insurance, and not some bastard mix of cost sharing and collective bargaining. The closest you get to "catastrophic only" insurance is an obamacare bronze and/or a high deducti

Back in 2009 I remember reading about how dead salmon apparently turns up brain activity in fMRI without proper statistical methods. fMRI studies are something frequently invoked unscientifically and out of context. https://www.w

This argument hinges rather strongly on whether or not AI is going to create a broad, durable, and lasting unemployment effect. Tractors did not cause this phenomenon because jevons paradox kicked in and induced demand rendered the problem

Well, Mamdani wants to make transit free. Car taxes can probably help a lot to pay for that.

There are modern VLIW architectures. I think Groq uses one. The lessons on what works and what doesn't are worth learning from history.

Can't help but wonder if this was motivated in part by people feeding papers into LLMs for summary, search, or review. PDF is awful for LLMs. You're effectively pigeonholed into using (PAYING for) Adobe's proprietary app and

I've always suspected this mentality had a lot to do with why Peter Thiel is like that. Growing up in the wreckage of the AIDS crisis and thinking to yourself, "I don't have to go down with them. I don't ever have to be

Well at the very least he confirmed Regin continues to circulate.

Why do I get the feeling both of these are a diagnosis of exclusion, and there's not particularly any hard evidence that radiation is causing these uncommanded manoeuvres? How unlikely is it for Airbus models specifically to be vulnera

Begs the question of how it escaped GM's clutches. All EV1s were leased with no buyout option, later recalled, and most crushed.

Feels like a bit of a reasonably forseeable misuse. The chip should have been designed with a type of override that lets you reset it.

Does anyone know if this is predicting the entire image at once, or if it's breaking it into constituent steps i.e. "draw text in this font at this location" and then composing it from those "tools"? It would be rea

yt-dlp's days are fairly numbered as Google has a trump card they can eventually deploy: all content is gated behind DRM. IIRC the only reason YouTube content is not yet served exclusively through DRM is to maintain compatibility with

What I find very interesting is the strong resemblance to dreams some generative image/video AI can produce.

I have such vivid memories of experiencing many of these things in infancy and early childhood. Especially pareidolia, mild object activation, and scenery slicing. Hasn't really happened much in almost thirty years. Is there any resear

The AI bubble is also the same seven companies that have been making all the money for the past decade. The answer is don't worry about it if you're buying S&P 500. Just keep buying, leave it go, and don't touch it. Prefe

HIV prevention has been reduced to a twice a year shot given mainly to MSM. It's pretty damn close to the original goal of a vaccine.

Your money has to go somewhere or it will rot to inflation. If you're ultrabearish on stocks, snap up bonds. If you're bearish on stocks and bonds alike, snap up gold. Either way, bare minimum of what to do with your money long te

Sometimes I feel like I started investing late at 26. Already, six years into the best decade for compounding in your life. But such was the power of compounding that I had reached a substantial net worth by age 35. So even just nine years

We're all asking it: any impact on AES?

I was tempted to knee-jerk dismiss this as "don't write your own database, don't even use a KV database, just use SQL". And then I remembered the only reason I'd say this is because I went through designing my own D

Yes, but the idea of chatgpt slowly devolving into Skibidi Toilet and "6 7" references conjures a rather amusing image.

So it does the exact opposite of causing cancer. Ironic in the face of vaccine hesitancy.

If documentation is a side effect to providing accurate and effective AI context, it's pretty logical there will be a significant incentive to maintain it.
