It's dizzying to think about how immersive these things will become after the next however-many iterations that are foreseeable.

This is one of the better outcomes for plastics floating around in the oceans that I can think of. Melted and lumped into rocks it won't tangle living organisms, and it should be more inert than if it were ground into micro-particles d

I think the silurian hypothesis still holds. It's unlikely that these plastic rocks would remain in their current form for the next x million years.

The prospect of an autonomic LLM model making money by whatever means possible in order to run more copies of itself could be a bit of a problem. I wonder how long until the first 100% AI ransomware attack happens?

I think it's because everyone's swimming in the same bath. People move around between companies, things are whispered, papers are published, techniques are mentioned and details filled in, products are backwards-engineered. Progre

It's not just those areas. I had some months of "door-knocking" experience in Chicagoland, early noughties. The neighbourhoods tended to be racially segregated: Latino, white, or black. As a white person, we were often warned

The photos sit so well, just so. Great aesthetic and approach >Eschewing the socially concerned ethos that often underpinned the visual documentation of race and poverty in America at that time, Lee’s calm, measured portraits speak of a

No, but it's a very sustainable fishery (and way tastier than tilapia IMO, the other popular land-based-farm fish)

Yeah hopefully not! But this wouldn't be meant to fully represent you, just a snapshot preview mode.

It's possible that all these studies are wrong and that Vitamin D supplementation is pointless. Information is never perfect. But at this time, on the balance, vit D supplementation seems like a pretty sensible bet for anyone living in

Well what about if the bot is modelled on you, like an avatar that lets someone (or multitudes) "try you out", demo version? Or you try out interpolated versions of multiple people out simultaneously until there is an intersect.

It sounds like one of those situations where workers' rights backfire by making it so onerous to hire and fire them that it's safer not too, just in case you end up with a dud, or a role evaporates. It's a tricky balance and

It's so ironic to have such incredible technology to peer deep into the cosmos, yet on a day-to-day basis we've never been more disconnected from the heavens.

Yes, it seems like only yesterday that it was 1821 and Brazil was in the grip of Portugese control...

Same here. But to be fair, I did have some bread made from freshly ground (and freshly dried) wheat once, and it was amazing.

Which is the best SimCity (by whatever criteria you find important)? The only one I ever tried was the OG, which I absolutely loved at the time.

This would be golden. Imagine being able to text prompt for breaks, for example: A "Think" break, but with bongos and using the "Apache" pattern and no reverb.

Thank you. This seems like the only reasonable explanation I've come across after a ton of reading around.

Wow what an interesting story. It's notable that he's still alive at age 99 despite being exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation in his 20s, and a history cancer in the family.

Hah this is so true. I always watch stuff like this in an incognito mode browser.

The thing I'm talking about feels like a texture but it goes both ways and disappears when its unplugged.

My new Macbook is ungrounded, my old one was grounded. I experience these shocks anywhere I plug in, not just in one home/office, although some places are worse than others.

What's with that? I'm constantly getting minor shocks from my Macbook, often when the inside of my forearm or wrist touches a corner of the case. I thought it was a problem with my old one, but my new one does it too. There is als
