I guess you could say that, but this isn't really "news". There have been a variety of studies[0][1] over the past 6 months from various countries showing the remarkable effectiveness of covid vaccines. Just some people appar

I think a legal basis for the lawsuit is a bit besides the point. Twitch needs to demonstrate publicly that they are doing everything possible to stop this behavior. And legally sound or not, suing someone (or even the threat of it) is an e

Ok I see. The problem that the duck curve is really about, is not about the lack of solar at certain times of the day, but really that other sources of power need to ramp up and down efficiently around solar.

> There's a non-storage solution to the duck curve "problem" which is just to waste some solar power. Can you explain this? How does “wasting some solar” solve the problem when your max solar output is 0 at peak demand?

I don’t think this is an edge case. We are asking AI to classify images and videos of people where the results can be disastrous.

Yeah you’d think think they be extra careful on their model which classifies videos of people before releasing it.

There is a world of nuanced discussion between flippant dismissal and outrage. Please let’s try to shoot for somewhere in the middle.

Seriously who believes vaccines are the “only” solution? They are one of the most important (if not the most important) tools we have against Covid. There is no magic bullet here, just reductions in probabilities.

Right. Is this just a limit on our ability to measure, or a deeper truth about the nature of time? If QM is a guide then it might be a deeper truth.
