This is my concern with AI in general. Cost, both real and monetary. Right now Microsoft and VCs are dumping money into AI operation to help with growth and adoption. What happens when AI's business focus moves from cost to grow to cos

I don't get how you claim CPUs are the same as 20 years ago? Maybe the clock speed is the same, but they are demonstrably denser. Lithography continues to improve as extreme costs, so wins are eaked out. The numbers don't seem to

It’s a bit slower to upgrade so there isn’t as much delight to counter the negative. In the 90s you had to constantly upgrade. A 1995 computer wasn’t going to work in 2004s environment. But a 2015 computer still is largely functional now. N

There was a case a few years ago of the military buying bodies donated to science to perform blast testing. I imagine there are also some people with tastes, culinary or sexual, that others would find abhorrent.

Pretty much any ecological method like this is illegal in the USA due to lobbying from the mortuary industry. They really want to get their dollar. You have to be embalmed before you can be cremated which seems like a huge waste. But lettin

Go get a Masters and hope to get an internship that converts into full time. Otherwise you are going to grind yourself into dust.

This has to be the most cliche collection of films that entry level buffs think are great, but never watch anything else because they don't have the required levels of sex, action, or isolation. Coming to a dorm room near you!

Waymo appears to be the real deal. Last night I saw one navigate a situation with a hesitant pedestrian better than most human drivers. And before people chime in with "ideal conditions," it was at night in the rain. I never trust

Probably colder then. Even though its a warmer temperature than the air, you are going to transfer heat faster by touching a solid than air. Faster heat transference is perceived as cold. Similar to how a stone floor will feel colder than a

Warmer or colder compared to what? Holding nothing? Holding a liquid also at air temperature? You gotta clarify the scenario more to get a good answer. Also our perception of temperature is terrible, we can only really tell differences and

There are whole genres of games that use procedural generation to build levels. Level building then becomes a meta task of designing tilesets and algorithms. Some games work well with generated levels, some do not. Categorically saying you

I would be careful about Hollywood loss numbers. Disney is in it for the merch. That said, I wonder how those movies stack up to older greats like Cars, Toy Story, or Monsters Inc. They are only true failures if they fail to sell toys. Whic

Mathematics has probably already classified all knots that are human tieable. So from there you could iterate these knots in different physical positions, and perform different tests on them. The topological space has been investigated, now

Very cool. I have been trying to do something similar with tilings, but there is more information to be encoded. I am targeting something similar to the ability to render the tessellation catalog [1] and perform searches. Turns out there ar

I think there is a kind of grief associated with growing up that people don’t talk about. When you are young and inspired it seems like life is long and you can do anything, branching paths with unlimited doors. Once you're an adult, y

I view burnout as a psychic wound. You should be aware of it to treat and not let it fester. At the same time, if you are always messing with it then it won’t heal. I agree there is probably a balance, and we are currently focusing too hard

Not for the button batteries. They are especially dangerous, because the physical distance between the poles is small, and your digestive tract is filled with electrolytic solutions. They can cause chemical burns and even death. https:&#x2

No, that is for generating the Unsubscribe buttons in the email client itself. They also require a link in the body itself. From the google doc: Marketing messages and subscribed messages must support one-click unsubscribe, and include

Its 5000/day for marketing, and if you are sending 5000 emails a day, you probably should have unsubscribe links. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#requirements-5k You also need a link, not just li

Senders will need to implement a single-click unsubscribe link within emails if they haven’t already, to allow recipients to easily opt out. It does in the article. The industry has clear definitions for things like one click unsubs

The anti work subreddit was founded by people who were truly anti work. It was then co-opted by people in low and middle wage jobs venting about poor working conditions exacerbated by the pandemic. Its a great example of how moderates sanew
