I've had it since I was a child. Am 40 now. I get hypoglycemic episodes (confirmed many times with a glucose prick test - symptoms are loss of mental focus, cold sweats, shaky hands, overall fatigue and lethargy, voracity to eat), solv

maybe it is because I spent a lot of time with AI generated imagery but I would figure notice that this is an AI image right away - even ignoring the hands (the days of us being able to do this by eye is numbered though). Surprised that the

wait, standing against someone who wants to give the state the rights to kill me (a heretic by their definition) is xenophobia now?

but the old prices were not about revenue, or number of employees or profits either.

Not everyone is that averse to needles. I am not a drug user but I don't mind needles, so I wouldn't care.

They do but, well it depends. You need to find the right product at the right time balanced by multidimensional inputs (time, competition, having right connections, luck because you need conditions to be similar when you are ready to ship,

Revenue means nothing. If I sold $10 bills for $9 each, I'd have billions in revenue in a week. The path to breakeven here will be long and arduous, impossible if for some reason twitter gets the facebook treatment from the population.

I think they are there to figure out "the lay of the land". I don't think they'd be assessing code line by line. Just there to figure out how everything is connected, what the ongoing projects are, what is on fire etc. d

PANTONE does not work that way. A converter like that would only allow you to see similar colors on your screen but would not guarantee the likeness of the color on different devices / print. So such a conversion would be lossy.

With open source, you would not be able to get it in the first place, period. PANTONE has intellectual property here and no crowdsourced / opensource alternative exists if you want to do what PANTONE provides for you. Here, you have th

Yeah I definitely do not want a VR winter. Meta uncoupling Facebook from the VR devices was a good move. IMO Oculus should have stayed Oculus under Meta's umbrella and have done its thing. When it went blatantly under Meta and proudly

I mean in theory you could, but there are time limits, mental limits, psychological effects in play. That opportunity is not always there so you can't expend the mental energy (and time) to treat every position as an entirely new chess

Also from a game theory point of view, it doesn't make much sense. Magnus would have nothing to win from such an encounter but a lot to lose. In his position I would never take such a deal. Whether he is cheating or not, it doesn'

The difference with chess compared to casino games is that at this level of play, you only need 1 or 2 BITS of outside information to gain a huge advantage. You can decrease it to 1 bits if you agree on the meaning of the signal beforehand.

Why? It is not as efficient. I can buy everything from stores but I use amazon, same thing. I don't actually use facebook though because I don't care about anyone really but for people that care, it is a solid platform. There is a

yes, common sense. people are known to get decapitated on impact. limbs flying everywhere because of the accelerations involved. traditional helmets get ground on asphalt enough to develop actual holes. what makes you think something worn

I believe there is a difference in legal responsibility when you are involved in an accident where there is a fatality involved. Also tax money is involved in the care of the injured regardless.

If bittorrent was invented today, it would probably be tied to a cryptocurrency scheme.

Yeah, no. Crypto does not provide (or even support) the experience I talk about when I say "great".

How do you know that when you write a simplish function for example, it is not identical to some GPL code somewhere? "Line by line" code does not exist anywhere in the neural network. It doesn't store or reference data in tha

It's also worth reflecting on the fact that banking being terrible is predominantly an American problem among the developed nations. Even in 3rd world countries, banking is pretty awesome. Checks have been obsolete for decades, any kin
