I see this repeated all the time on Hackernews and this is absolutely not the case. Aging, gut microbiome changes and an enormous variety of medications can directly induce weight gain - while diet and exercise remain the same.

You can do more than 16 videos for free on Kling per month. Let alone with their price plans. I'm sure it's not equivalent in capability, but all these models suffer from the same technical issues understanding prompts and maintai

I think you've misunderstood the objection. Lets pick something concrete. It's a medieval script, it opens with two knights fighting. OK so later in the script we learn their characters, historic counterparts etc. So your LLM can

Wow they're watermarking videos and limiting them to 720 at the 20 dollar price point? That's a bold move, considering their competition's pricing... https://www.klingai.com/membership/membership-plan Qu

Israel and Iran are antagonistic nations in an active military conflict - this is a really bad counterexample. I'd never defend Israel's actions militarily, but all countries attempt to disrupt the military programmes of their adv

Turing was punished (effectively tortured to death) for his sexuality. While awful and indefensible, the difference is that he was not punished for his scientific / engineering work. There are countless examples of soviet scientists ex

Bureaucracies are certainly impersonal, but you'd be at a loss to find one that's genuinely rule based and meritocratic. To the extent that they become remain rule based they are no longer effective and get routed around. To the e

This isn't true at all of cinema cameras - which run off v-mount, b-mount etc type batteries and are expected to burn through them, and still face the same processor and feature limitations. There isn't (to my knowledge) a single

As a fan of both, I have to admit vaporwave and twee are both dead genres - although vaporwave has spawned a host of successor stuff, the great innovation there all happened a decade and more ago. Twee will always exist, but it's hardl

That's a bit of a red herring. Why do cameras integrate so poorly with phones, which could provide this information, backup and upload images etc. Same is true of professional video cameras, which are used for much longer periods of ti

Worth noting that this is fine for academic subjects (although highly dependent for success on student interest), but doesn't work at all for skill based subjects.

That is a distinction without a difference. It's not a hoax to acknowledge that a man credibly accused and judicially 'adjudicated' of raping multiple women is a rapist. "I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her

I'm genuinely at a loss as to how that connects to anything I wrote. It's not Harris' gender that was the issue - to the extent that the position I'm taking helped shift the dial. It's the perception that she would

I think the difference is that Harris (less so than Clinton but to some extent) was seen as representing a liberal consensus that men, particularly white, heterosexual men are 'over', that the 'future is female', etc. Tr
