As I understand, it's been identified as one possible vector, not conclusively proven to be the only (or even largest) source.

If 90% of workers are able to effectively sterilize their uniforms, will that solve 90% of the problem? Less? More?

Given premodern population sizes and literacy rates, historical texts probably don't exist in anything like the quantity that internet posts do. Even if they did, the information may not be relevant to the modern world.

No need for this? Your glib dismissal belies the passion and dedication involved in this genius masterwork. Nobody ever "needs" art, but surely it enriches our lives.

Yep. I expect they were feeling tired and the smartwatch readings just confirmed it. If they really felt like coming, the readings wouldn't stop them.

Worth noting is that the article is from April 2022 and used gpt-3. The "friend" was an imaginary friend, not a dead friend, and so probably more prone to taking actions which would appear in a fictional context. From my research

Your first paragraph is like saying "this train conductor does transportation, so we should let him fly a plane." Perhaps knowing security proves that the author is intelligent, and perhaps some of the same skills apply, but it&#x

IIRC The 3-tier system is law in California. Of course, many people use more powerful bikes and there's little enforcement.

Tangent: this article contains the claim regarding DUKWs on D-Day: "Only one boat made it to the beach—the rest sank, taking soldiers and supplies with them." From what I can find this seems to be highly inaccurate and while there

I don't know of any reason why they couldn't make the Chevron Doctrine law. However, I doubt that the Republican congressmembers will let it happen any time soon. Disclaimer: I'm not very informed, I just did a little Googlin

In an ideal world, I agree. But Congress is made up of the most electable people, not the most competent people. I would rather they recognize that and delegate rather than trying to make laws about complex topics which can easily backfire,

The Chevron doctrine, which was recently overturned by the US supreme court, stated that US courts should defer to the regulations of US agencies such as the FCC. As I understand, under Chevron, functionally, the FCC's regulations on t

I guess it's not a principled stand in favor of free speech. They just want to sell games. The CCP can block them in China; Blizzard can't.

On the contrary, in academia they can do lots of damage by encouraging the same behavior in new engineers.

Forward by Isaac Asimov? I'm surprised he would have his name associated with this.

I don't know if we ever will get a singularity, but if we do the last comment before we're obliterated will be something along these lines.

It sounds like you're accusing Wikipedia of being both too easy to edit ("everyone can write things there") and too restrictive about who can edit ("they don't care about facts... Crap editors and political propagan

I brush and floss every day but the cost is not trivial. Saving ten minutes EVERY day for everyone who brushes would be a massive, massive success. Not to mention it would improve health for people who can't get into the habit.

There was a huge fight over what proportion of these trucks would be electric. Wikipedia says 75% of the initial order of 60,000 trucks will be electric, and after 2026 they will all be electric.

They look like Google glasses because they have the same design constraints: small lens and needing to fit a lot of electronics in the frame. If they could make them look normal I think they obviously would.

I believe that the system is currently working, in that it does less harm through wrongful/excessive punishments than would be done by criminals against innocent people in its absence. There's room for improvement, of course.

Nobody would take that job. If they did they would be hyper-cautious and never prosecute or sentence anyone. Better to just abolish the judicial system. Maybe you disagree, but I think that would be worse than the status quo. There's a
