How is "top" defined here? If they were dead, wouldn't they fairly quickly stop being "top"? EDIT: the article uses a list sorted by inlinks, and I guess other websites don't necessarily update broken links, bu

Seriously it was such a mess. Lag aside, they had MULTIPLE cases of either someone's mic not being on, or someone with a hot mic after they were done whispering over the stream. Almost every single transition to scientists in other cit

My understanding is that the IR here is used to see "through" the "smoke", so you can see more details that would normally be obstructed. A good way to see this is comparing it to Hubble [1], a lot of the extra detail yo

by ehsankia 4y ago
I know similar calculations were done for Hubble's deep field, but we need to do it again here: count the number of galaxies in this photo, then multiply it by the area of the sky divided by the area of this image (I think it's 2.

Wow, you can really see the gravitational lensing on that one. I was wondering which of the 5 photos [1] they'd tease today (remaining 4 are coming tomorrow). My guess was also gonna be the deep field one, especially since it maps nice

$50M is tiny compared to how much Google invested in Chrome. That barely pays 100 engineers.

I can't tell if I'm having a brain fart Sunday morning or this is just generally a very poorly written article. Can someone give a summary? I read half of it and I still don't see a single "point" being made. The cl

Not those kind, I'm wondering if any city has considered making their own infrastructure. The Ebox and Teksavvy are great, but like you say it's hard to survive on other people's infra, that's why big cities need to make

Has any of the big cities ever considered its own municipal internet? I would vote for any politician that has that as a platform immediately.

Could you share a screenshot? I don't see pricing anywhere on the page, though near the bottom it says "PAY AS YOU GO". Likely geolocation, though I'm curious what I'm missing. EDIT: used VPN. Canada version: High-s

Isn't the worry that a specie that doesn't die off will have the older generation consuming all the resources, reducing the chance at survival by the newer generation? Also, how do these species with extremely long lifespan adapt

But as I described above, people in red states often have orders of magnitude more voting power.

> A large portion of America views abortion as murder. That is not true, they are a very loud minority. Most polling puts people who really care about banning abortion (in the ways it is being done right now) at below 20%. The reason it

Forget 3-1, what about 65-1? Legislation needs to pass both Senate and the House, and in the senate, someone from a state like Wyoming has 65x more voting power than someone living in California.

It definitely seemed like they had done most variations of the idea, and they wanted to try something new. It is interesting that they don't want to try the new things under the Zachtronics names, but it also kinda makes sense, since t

You missed the point, which is that it doesn't matter which is better when they're both bad. Framing it as "I'd rather kids vape instead of smoke" is the real false dichotomy here, since those are not the only two o

Exactly, that statement would only be valid if e-cigarette had zero net impact in smoking adoption. The reality is that Juul made smoking "cool" again, just as it was going out of style. You can look at any graph of tobacco use, i

Good luck figure out the command to compose even a simple scene with a webcam on top of a desktop feed, let alone switching inputs or mixing audio. All of which are very basic thing you'd want to do when creating a screen recording. Me

I remember when you had to use Fraps to record your game, and a shitty proprietary webcam software to record that, then somehow mix them together like you said. Honestly mind boggling that there was not really a solid way to capture screen

I also think the claims are overblown, but I also don't understand all the people trying to undermine lambda by saying it just completes word sequences. Text is the input we have chosen since it's easy to work with. By that logic,

You may find random posts here and there, but if in the middle of a conversion, if on the next comment you just replied to me "PICKLEEE RICKKKK", I would definitely think that you're a GPT-3 powered bot.

There's no doubt what Lambda does is insanely impressive, being able to have any conversation that lasts more than a few lines is already a huge step forward. But yes, sentience to me requires a bit more long term persistence, like lea

It definitely matters. It definitely kills the illusion of sentience if in the middle of a conversation the AI said something completely nonsense and silly that gives a peak at its flaws. Think of it like Turing test. If during the 15m, the

Right, but my point is, financial interest for thousands of scientists is different from financial interest of a book author. A book and a peer-reviewed research paper are not the same. While not perfect, there are far more safeguards aroun

By "kicked off" you mean seamlessly migrated over. The fact that you're amazed Talk itself was still running shows how well the migration went.
