hypothesis: FB's legal team successfully lobbied the execs not to with the position that Facebook does not need to give any governmental body an excuse to investigate them. And the legality of LLMs (re: copyrights) is a fine excuse to

Ironically, "educable" is tough for me to get out. It's a very mouth-full-of-marbles word.

What about the fact that I can get Stone at my corner liquor store in Rhode Island? You know, the one that doesn't have a great selection.

What's the benefit of carbon fiber's strength-to-weight ratio when making a submersible? I guess you can have smaller motors to drive you around on the bottom, but the vast majority of the travel is controlled via ballast/buo

I understand that it's a tragedy of the commons for how we got here. To clarify, I think you're saying fear of reprisal is why we haven't seen intentional climate engineering. I don't think you're saying it's i

Is there any reason I shouldn't be for climate engineering (e.g. spreading sulfates into the atmosphere) today? In my mind, that has moved quickly from, "We probably shouldn't due to unexpected consequences" to "We

The Afsluitdijk just got heightened and reinforced. As someone who's biked across it, I'm psyched because now you can bike on the North Sea side - previously, there was only 1 bike path on the Zuiderzee side. https://th

Dude, someone said it looks fantastic, a purely subjective observation. And then you disagreed. It seems disingenuous for you to start disputing someone's logic.

This is inline with what my wife thinks. She's a psychology PhD who studied schizophrenia in young adults. The way she phrases it is that the current best guess is that schizophrenia is a developmental disease.

I have no idea why your replies seem to think you're being outrageous. I've seen the image from one of the AI services that is a very clear almost-reproduction of a Getty Images photo. I wouldn't want to be the defense's

Not who you replied to, but if you agree, even a little, with the phrase, "the social contract between employees & employers is broken in the US"... well it goes both ways.

I can't say I understand what will become of things if those investors go belly up, but I can't say I have any sympathy for investors who've made the housing crisis worse. Let them crash and put the houses back on the market.

You're right. The turntable would have a lot more angular momentum. It has to be easier to maintain precise RPMs.

I love the idea, but it looks less-than-ideal to "play" it live. I watched the first video and you can see the handler struggling to place & adjust notes. Why not have the scanner sweep across a stationary circle? Not turntabl

I don't think "production during the war" is the point. I believe the point GP is making is that production can continue after hostilities cease if and only if the plant is intact. Being beyond the range of 155mm artillery ma

We got the grandparents Aura smart frames. It's trivial to add photos and short videos. They get to see a new pic of the kid almost every day. As soon as anyone visits their house, they immediately see recent pics of the kid. It's

I love the idea that LLMs will get watermarked in a way where you can ask them who they were built for and they just tell you.
