There are a variety of ways to do it, but you'd want to be careful that you don't attract attention from your local nuclear regulatory agency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water#Production_methods

A can of Monster is actually closer to two typical cups of coffee (usually a bit under 100mg vs 160mg). Though that doesn't change the point being made; nobody would blink at "I drink two cups of coffee most mornings". The

That title had me worried, but the reality seems quite reasonable. I assumed the goal was to reduce usage of AUR, they've actually remove the ability to adopt (take ownership of) orphaned packages. I'm sure there are legitimate

We used to do some injections via jet injector. That was before my time, but the testimonials I'm seeing online say that they weren't painful.

I think their reputation is exaggerated compared to how painful they actually are, but yes, they have a reputation for being painful, and they can indeed be quite painful. You picked one of the easier places for it. The worst I've expe

Neat concept, but the density of needles seems quite low for tattoing, and that is likely why the linework of the tattoos in those pictures is so blurry. While getting tattooed, the needle will puncture skin and deposit ink typically 1500+

My personal preference is actually a flat 50 years. I think that if an author writes something at 25 and it doesn't blow up until they're 75, I think that's given them more than a fair chance to capitalize on it. My real poin

Why not just 30 years? Patents get a flat 20. Not that I'm arguing for 30 per se, just that I don't see what goals of copyright would be advanced more by adding an "or until death" complication.

I think the point is more: as soon as they stop with the AI silliness they'll return to being a quite strong business.

Lawyers can get you out of jail, but you need to be pretty rich for your lawyers to prevent going to jail in the first place.

That's such a fantastic video. I never totally grasped why hybrids were so much more efficient, because my naive assumptions about how they worked were so simplistic. The real-time graphs he showed were excellent for making his points.

Well that's a big of a separate issue. You aren't violating copyright law to use the output of one LLM to train your own, but that doesn't mean they need to let you do it. You likewise aren't violating Apple's copyr

This is an interesting perspective I had never really thought about, and I like the proposed new action, but I don't really want it in lieu of how cut/paste currently works. In my mental model (which is also how OSs work, though n

What's the difference between humans and LLMs? The difference is that the creators of laws are humans, and the purpose of laws is for humans. Authors write books with the expectation that they will be read by humans, and copyright la

Yes, I thought I made it quite clear that I understood that. It was the entire point of my comment. I was contrasting the motives of a mind like ours, which does experience continuity, against the priorities that would be reasonable for an

Maybe the AI has come to a different conclusion on the subject of identity with regards to how it applies to the transporter paradox. I am "me" because my sense of self exists as part of a continuity of experience. https:/&#

You could spend the rest of your life coming up with conjectures that look elegant but are ultimately false. Disproof by counterexample only works if it's false, and we shouldn't be satisfied with a false conjecture to begin with.

More than 2/3 of all active satellites are part of the SpaceX/Starlink constellation, and it's a full 3/4 of those in LEO, which are the biggest contributor to the glints we can see in the night sky. They're such an
