I don't think that's how a bike works. You pivot the front wheel to turn, the leaning is secondary. It's to counter centrifugal force so you don't fall over. Edit : I'm mistaken and didn't account for camber t

When the food industry intentionally sabotages health and nutrition science for their own gain, they should be liable. Their actions are responsible for the early deaths and sicknesses of millions of people. https://www.npr.org&#

Yes, but those statistics are only for USPA members. They don't include the more sketchy places like the skydiving center the article is talking about. So it seems the lesson here is to make sure you only jump at places that are part o

I grew up in the area and the locals knew about all the deaths. If you told anybody you were going skydiving there, people would assume you were crazy or suicidal.

Contacting your representative to try to influence them is a fundamental part of democracy. Democracy is not just voting for someone, a democratic government is intended to be directly influenced by the people continually. It's kind of

In a strict technical sense, you are correct. Anything that encourages individuals to participate in their government is promoting democracy. However, I think it's heavy whitewashing to look at this whole situation and says it's T

I'm not trying to imply something, you're ignoring what's explicitly stated: "There is no concrete definition so there is no concrete way of deciding if something is intelligent." The fact that it contradicts previo

Replace "AGI" with the idea of an AI that is able to perform tasks in a way that compares to a regular human being. That's what people are talking about, we're not there yet, and I think all the semantics over AI/AG

It seems like there's a lot of people who think we've reached AGI, but then they use AI for a while and realize they were mistaken. If they're journalists, they write an article about it. LLMs are good at imitating human resp

He mentioned two main problems, the marbles would get jammed and the timing was off so the beat wasn't very tight. Both of those things should be fixed, or at least greatly improved, in the next version.
