Yeah, that's true in many fields with these AI agents. They demo well, but when you put them to actual work they fall right on their face. Even worse, the harder the task you set for them the more they lie to you. It's like hir

The problem is that cancer is your own cells, so immunotherapy solutions are always going to be balanced on a knife point. If you make the tiniest mistake it is Lupus.

Have you seen the DOGE team? These are guys who have definitive opinions on waifus.

Definitely don't use ChatGPT to try to learn about something you have no knowledge of. It's impossible to separate the bullshit from the truth if you don't already have some foundation in the field, and chatbots often try to

IMHO the biggest thing is that they were their own customer . There was no requirements gathering, ui/ux consultation, third party bug reporting, just like you said. They were eating their own dogfood and loving it. No overhead mea

Not just digital, this trend started back in the analog TV era. Gaming consoles certainly contributed as well. Note that the decrease in crime coincides with a decrease in teen pregnancy, but also a decrease in fertility rates in general.

Back in the old days authors didn't know how anything worked and there was no Internet to look things up and no budget to do research so they were forced to make a lot of the stuff up on the spot. In retrospect a lot of those choices

At the same time I feel like a lot of companies grow much larger than they need to be simply because of bigger is better mentality. How many of Uber's 30,000ish employees are involved with making sure the app and backend database are

You are going to demand that these very old, often suffering from dementia, strokes, Alzheimer’s, etc… Americans go out to the state capital to defend their existence in front of a literal death panel? If they get their benefits cut off th

You think it is not possible that people born in homesteads in the 1920s and 1930s in rural and isolated communities don’t have birth records? Or immigrants from countries that didn’t have paper birth records?

It's only for texting so it doesn't really matter. That said Iridium is so slow it's mostly only useful for texting type situations as well. Even the voice is so heavily compressed and laggy as to be mildly unpleasant to us

This seems like it should be totally expected. Iridium's engineering efforts are largely in the past, they're purely in the revenue extraction mode at this point. Your job description is basically just "maintain obsolete le

Not the part where they plug the panels into a wall outlet. In the US getting the permits for grid tie is a huge expense and hassle so it would make no sense to do it for just a couple of panels. You need permission not only from the loca

The tenant pays for the utilities. Because the apartment complex is not paying for they they have no incentive to install energy efficiency upgrades and will instead install only the cheapest hardware they can buy.

It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint that animals that eat grasses should also fertilize the grasses so their food supply remains abundant.

Even without the fallout you're still looking at a nuclear winter just from blowing all of that rock dust into the atmosphere.

I feel like back in 2016 when a reporter asked Donald Trump if he would disavow the Proud Boys and most peoples response was “the what boys?” If you aren’t immersed in the culture you don’t know who the movers and shakers are.

There is a certain point where the calls for calmness come across as "stop making noise about the coup in progress". People should be calling out the people blatantly breaking the law and undermining the foundations of society.

Max has gone to crap since the merger though. They cancelled a lot of the quality content and added a bunch of cheap and awful crap like reality shows to the service. It's like someone bought a Rolls Royce and riced it out.

You have to be careful with that too. I had a tech come out to fix what ultimately ended up being a faulty ONT and doing the same thing, hooking his test modem up to the line to make sure it wasn't my router causing the packet loss.

They don't have to replace all of the Taiwanese manufacturing, just the chips that are US bound. There are plenty of customers in other countries that need TSMC chips.
