AI in health care, (and pretty much any sector that could kill someone), should be strictly regulated.

I doubt anyone on HN would have any interest in normalizing that practice. But almost everyone who will be wronged by these systems are going to be up in arms. I think we'll see a lot more of this sort of thing in the future. Your car

With respect. Go to the map of school attendance percentages by nation. Once there, compare Senegal's school attendance percentage to the attendance percentages in the rest of West Africa. And the bad news is that percentages in Senega

China is the "enemy" in the sense that we need someone competent to keep the military industrial complex fed with money. Good "return on propaganda investment" for those guys. Smedley Butler told us how this was all gonn

All definitions of "enemy", are views "from inside a bubble". I suppose if you have people shooting and bombing you, "enemy" is a fair label to put on them. Those are the only types of "enemies" that

This. I'm 100% certain that Chinese models are not long for this market. Whether or not they are free is irrelevant. I just can't see the US government allowing us access to those technologies long term.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true. It only matters that they spell your name right. Threads filled with inaccurate posts like that are a large part of the reason that educating the general populace on security issues is so difficult.

It isn't that unreasonable to ask for an education system that pushes kids as fast as the kid keeps up with and eases them back if they regress Surely you can see the damage this would do to the majority of children currently being t

My unpopular take is that people, and definitely the government, would take gifted options more seriously if there weren’t so many kids who did nothing more than learn the multiplication table early being classified as gifted. You limit enr

One of the big issues is that the people making the memes, never actually met any of the people we're all talking about. It's easy to dismiss if it's not real for you. If you've been moving between say, Cambridge and Som

I'm not Nielsen Ratings or anything, but that would be consistent with what I would think. Fox viewers being older, and older being consistent with tv viewers. Younger being consistent with TikTok, YouTube, InstaFaceTwit intake.
