ICE is federal law enforcement. You are not allowed to interfere in their operations when they are lawfully engaging in immigration enforcement activity. If you do, you will get arrested. This is just how the law works. They can't go a

This entire take is nonsense. I just used ChatGPT to diagnose a very serious but ultimately not-dangerous health situation last week and it was perfect. It literally guided me perfectly without making me panic and helped me understand what

Is there no worry in giving the app your password? I would never just give my password, especially my Apple account password to a random app. Is this program reliable? However it looks like a program that I want to use.

More wood behind less arrows. This is good. Most research is universal basic income for PhDs with no really benefit. Even worse, most research can’t be reproduced anymore. We need to identify the highest quality research projects and fund t

It's not hyped. It's the most effective way I've seen the people around me lose weight. Some of them have lost a tremendous amount of weight very quickly. But a know a couple of them that went off it and the weight came back

every commit in every open source project should now go through an AI to see if it can detect anything nefarious. I'm sure there are ways to fool it but it makes it a lot easier for bad actors to get caught.

The blue light “science” is a fallacy. I think N=8 in the original study and the difference in sleep was about 15 mins.

I’m tired of living in a world where everything is financially engineered and those sociopathic money-hungry deviants use every trick in the book to turn all of us into life long subscribers. What can we do about this?

They are on nvidias balance sheet. You also don’t sell freshly baked chips the way you do cookies. Just because they are hot out of the oven doesn’t mean you sell it right away.

They define unvaccinated as anyone who wasn't vaccinated by Nov 2021. What if they got vaccinated afterwards?

I bought 64 GB DDR4 RAM for $189 in 2022. The exact same memory is now almost $600 on Amazon. How can this not impact PC sales and the sale of other electronics?
