I think many people (myself included) think there is something wrong with developing new nuclear bomb technologies specifically.

I was in exactly the same situation last week. A risk of a serious illness was identified and all of a sudden the red carpet was rolled out - next day appointments for procedures that typically take at least weeks to get scheduled. Now that

I see other people in the comments saying that this might be used to limit people's rights. I don't view that as a good reason to not pursue this research. We have existing legal frameworks for ensuring people's rights are pr

Contrary to many people's expectations, the most typical profile of someone who kills themselves is a 33 to 44 year old man who presents no warning signs and leaves no note. This is a tool that could be extremely helpful for addressing

I think it's there for people who may not be familiar with what fusion energy is, so they can understand that it's a potential climate change solution.

Scientists have developed artificial wombs, although they are fairly limited right now. They supported a premature lamb fetus from the late 2nd trimester for four weeks in an artificial womb until it could be kept alive by traditional neona

Healthcare wait times vary a lot country to country: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/health-ca... 27% of cases take one month or longer to get to a specialist in the US. Compare that to 61% Norway an

I'd argue the images he generated are good enough to use in an indie game (based on the expectation that good gameplay would make up for the jank).

Blender as a Python module is extremely helpful to me as someone who is allowed to install Python modules but not software on my work computer.

I agree that things don't move in one direction all the time. Iran, for instance has certainly de-liberalized (although they might be re-liberalizing, fingers crossed). The overall trend in the past couple centuries seems to be towards

So if I understand what you're saying correctly, you view talking about suicide as something that's going to potentially spread suicide/suicidal ideation and therefor if you're going to talk about it that's got to b

It's not clear to me that discussing the effect causes the effect. It's an effect that's been specifically documented in response to media coverage of suicide. The consensus from suicide prevention orgs seems to be that compa

I think they were referring to behaviors associated with mass psychogenic illness, which is probably a lot more curable than many OCD cases.

Yeah, most of these fines are nothing. It's shameful.

It’s a temporary order to get them to stop while the lawsuit continues. They’ll probably be fined, but that could take a long time to work out.

I think the confusing here is between a “cease and desist letter,” which is a letter can anyone to anyone else warning them that you’ll sue them if they don’t stop doing something, and an “injunction to cease and desist”. An injunction is a

Well it demonstrates that ability. You could imagine a more refined version of this being a better version of Google's knowledge boxes (which also have the overconfidence issue). Similarly, knowing when you're not confident enough

I understand why people are somewhat frustrated by the "safety bumpers" on this. But I would say that I am actually really impressed by the quality of those safety controls. This is an AI that seems to know what it can and can not

Seems like intentionally processing and reframing, regardless of the medium used to write, would be the way to go.

People don't want to do complex bidding schemes. Even Vickery auctions confuse people - look at how eBay has to call their Vickery auction "automatic bidding" to alleviate that confusion. A threshold effect could certainly ex

Saying that 2,4-dithiapentane has nothing to do with truffles is like saying that vanillin has nothing to do with vanilla. It’s artificial truffle flavor. I happen to enjoy it, I’d just like to be charged a fair price for it given that it’

The system proposed in this post has the advantage of correctly pricing every seat individually without anyone having to put in multiple bids. The people buying earlier are paying the highest price and get to choose the best seats. Those bu

Is there anyone who thinks we shouldn't use the entire animal if we do kill it? As I understood it, most of the backlash against "pink slime" (lean finely textured beef)* came from the misconception that it was artificial or

This list entirely ignores many of the highest rated apples. Adam's Apples, a long time apple reviewer, has six top ranked apples ("three stars, exceptional apple worth a quest"), all of which are exceptionally hard to find.

Seems like a weird take to me. Chemical rocketry can meet all of our space "needs" (e.g. satellite launches) and many of our space "wants" (e.g. solar system exploration, large space telescopes). The "chemical"
