About 0%. Looking at historical timelines, the rapid change we are seeing now is unprecedented. The forced heating lines up exactly with the additional C02 and methane we have pumped into the atmosphere. We are causing this, full stop. (No

Let's not beat around the bush. This is standard climate change denialism. It's the trope that there is nothing here to worry about because, who knows, the earth COULD have been warmer in the past and it still exists now. It'

They've been doing it for years. Everything you put on their servers is a source for them to train on. At FB Messenger in the mid to late teens, the suggestion and auto-reply models were trained on the entire corpus of unencrypted mess

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The FSD confuses a firetruck for an empty lane and drive full-speed into the back of it. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we stop taking

I think it's really telling that every "pronatalist" in this piece is a man. It is quite easy to go around saying we need more babies when your contribution to the process is having sex, not actually growing the child and bir

I don't know who you work for, but something tells me your boss didn't publicly fire a huge chunk of the engineering staff being like, "WTF are all these people good for? lol"

Interesting project. How do you propose to sanitize the results? I used your example endpoint above and called it for chartreuse. Instead of just giving me a direct hex code like `#0000FF` for the blue example, it returned `The hex code for

These are the scales at which neither General relativity nor the standard model (QM, QFT, etc) dominate, so you cannot just ignore one and do the calculations with the other. To solve systems at these scales, you need a working system of qu

To be additionally pedantic as a physicist, dW = 0 means we have extramized the action. Technically, we are looking for a path of stable action (i.e. a small change to the path does not change the action), so both maxima, minima, and even s

On a side note, the author's example is exactly why I have chosen to not use FSAs. Sure, it saves me 20% or so since it's pre-tax money, but is my stress, time, executive function, and sanity all worth that? Plus if I screw up and

Wow, that's quite the accusation. I did some quick searching and couldn't find anything, but it's not the sort of thing that I would expect to be easily findable. What leads you to believe this?

My favorite solution to this is to embrace the technology and have students really learn its uses and limitations. Tell the students to prompt their LLM of choice to write an essay on a given topic or set of topics. Have the students includ

Doing something like that takes massive public investments in changing our roads and infrastructure. Given that this money will come from the public, I would argue that it should be spent on publicly accessible tools and services, like enha

This reminds me of when MIT was putting student hacks, like the fire truck on the dome, on the front of their promotional material while prosecuting those same students for exploring unlocked areas of the campus.

I can just say that I live in the middle of the US and it currently costs me about 4 cents per mile to drive my Volt on electric and about 9 cents per mile to drive on gas. The factor was closing in on 5 when gas prices peaked.

This doesn't actually compare marginal costs. It factors in fixed costs like the cost of the charger for the EV amortized over five years. It counts road taxes for both types of vehicles, but road taxes are marginal for gas vehicles an
