I am a neuroscientist, not affiliated with Deepmind. I can´t speak for the other AlphaThings,but AlphaFold dramatically changed the way the biomedicine field deals with protein structures, shortening the gap between hypothesis and experimen

They will never mass-sale this unless they unleash porn. We know it, they know it. Nobody is paying $3500 to look at their emails on a visor.

So are they banning VPN and SSL too? Those are not fringe techniques.

Knowledge is not becoming meaningless. If anything, we are approaching a phase in which it will get even more value because only people really able to master and recognise knowledge will be able to ripe all the fruits of AI. I would not con

Whatever CD is measuring, is going down as a trend. So one cannot blame the obviously ethereal nature of CD for this.

I am a scientist and I've setup a mastodon instance on my own server, with remote file hosting on S3. It was pretty painless and in a few days 200 non tech-savvy people have joined and started contributed. Some migrating from twitter,

AI do not simply fish contents from an existing database. Instead, they use a repertoire to extract rules and create new instances, exactly as we do when we learn to speak. DALL-E can create an image of something even if it was not in its t

You do not see the tautology in your own statement: "These language AIs do not have the capability of believing anything" ? If that is your starting assumption then, yes, they will never be sentient even when they will be. I am a

"Neither LaMDA nor any of its cousins (GPT-3) are remotely intelligent.1 All they do is match patterns, draw from massive statistical databases of human language." This is what we, humans, do too when we talk. All these people tal

I once read the suggestion to build a powerful cloud datacenter in orbital space, powering it with solar panels. That would solve any overheating problem too.

chaos has nothing to do here. Look, it's really very very simple actually. The higher the concentration of greenhouse gases, the more energy gets trap in the atmosphere. This changes the balance and warms up area of the planets that di

That graph is a known fraud. See: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97... Don't trust the CATO when it comes to climate (at the very least). They are known negationists. If you understand b

You've missed the point. It is well known that co2 is a greenhouse gas. You can do the experiment yourself with some children using a plastic water bottle, a thermometer, and a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. We understand this phy

I am a neuroscientist and a good portion of my laboratory's scientific output is code. I can offer a perspective. Every few months, a case like this one emerges. A published software contained a scientifically relevant bug and this may

Does the swap in the position of the two cities compromise the findings in any way? If not, it's an irrelevant mistake like misspelling a word. What do you expect them to do? retract the paper because they misspelled a word?

You were heavily criticized because you said nonsense. Cancer research also relies on millions of lines of code but you would not say the same, would you? The science of climate change goes well beyond the models. The models account for onl

I have the very strong suspicion that the driver has turned autonomous drive mode off, perhaps to be able to watch tv or something. She seems extremely distracted by the dashboard and there is no way that sensors could not alert her of that

Perhaps this is true in some countries. In the USA and Europe, the average professor works 61 hours a week and encounters very high levels of stress, linked to continuously having to obtain research funds.

I do understand your point of view. Technology hardly ever "just works". Probably the only device that never went guru meditation on me is my microwave. Having said this, when it comes to updates, archlinux is really orders of mag

I have been an arch user for more than 10 years now and three things make the difference for me: - a very mature community of users. The arch docs and forums are really good. If you ever have a problem, you'll find a solution in no mor

I think the most interesting aspect of all this is that it's a clear evidence that even machines possessing highly sensitive data (like NHS computers) are super vulnerable to any remote penetration. The request for a ransom may just be

Piaggio is not exactly a startup but yeah, this gita may just be some kind of proof of principle product for a marketing stunt. If not, because I see no market for it.

There is nothing better than Arch. I have been using linux daily since 2005, tried multiple distros and now all of my machines (laptops, desktops, PIs, remote servers) run arch. Hardly ever a problem and making packages is a so damn easy co
