I think, the general idea is to make this very accessible. But obviously, there will be a price to pay: buy this Matebook - no Wifi, but hey you can get this very sweet, data-limited 5G plan for only USD50 a month. Get an unlimited plan for

well, except for the mentioned trades, they are all lifestyle businesses and luxury things. With 80% of the population not being able to afford this regularly (and being super price concious) and a large portion of the remaining 20% being c

*source: jobs where you are paid the minimum wage, but maybe you can cut that down a little by building a rent-seeking company. the only things which might remotely be well paid (trades/construction) generally have some relatively high

I work in computational materials science (where ML brings funding) and a funny paper of this kind is here: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.11... - they are literally trying out 100

nothing in "investigative reporting, commentary, criticism, and provocative personal essays" is, what I consider news. q.e.d. vox.com: "Vox explains the news.". No shroud of being objective here either. q.e.d. slate.com:

is CNN really putting up anything except news - of which reuters/AP/UPI already give a pretty good overview for free? And while all the left/neoliberal (and clickbaity) things you noted are free, they are less concerned with

wait, isn't the point of AGI that it reasons like a human? E.g. for a simple (SEO-plagued) query like "disassembly of consumer electronics X", I get actual, worthwhile content and not a 5min video-ad? Basically every mildly i

Given that we have AGI around the corner cough , building a model which discriminates SEO-spam from original content might be viable, don't you think so? Or for every new domain in the index you check whether it's legit or not by

yes? if you want to have kids by 30, a PhD probably isn't right for you. A career in science might as well probably not work out. So what, not everyone needs to procreate?!

well, if museums would drive the same marketing campaigns (read propaganda or simply media based manipulation), this might easily change... Also generally the amount of time you can spend in museums is somehow limited, as most don't al

given that the bespoke companies (Inditex, H&M) are regularly selling off half their stock at 50% off and meanwhile looking into insolvency every few years, I think you overestimate their execution. Producing a shirt probably costs 40ct

the cool thing about this solution seems also, that it conveniently alleviates the "need a screen"-problem of the windows-screencapture-approach.

with the non-bonded interactions parametrized with dimers it might work... sometimes (might be good enough for a lot of things though)

Why not pay them directly in a functioning economy, if its worth it? Why do you need to skim from random (!) other ventures to finance this kind of business? I'm also not sure, if I understand this correctly, but 32% (or 1 third ) see
