Nature around Chernobyl seems to be doing well.[1] Maybe we have the wrong goal here. Why not use this stuff to protect sensitive areas from the most dangerous and destructive force on the planet, people. Find a few endangered habitats, pos

My go-to with any 'thing x could wipe out everything or is better than everything' is exactly this. If nature hasn't found it then I don't worry as much. That doesn't mean this shouldn't be considered and studi

Actually, no, it is rational in this context. And until we realize that, and vote to ensure companies can't get to that point, this kind of business will keep happening. I will say it very clearly, companies do not care about people, t

Yes, that calculus is probably happening right now, but my point was that we are to blame for this so violence against UHC is unacceptable. I see people that are mad at healthcare, and I am one of them. The industry is clearly evil, but we

It is easily arguable that the US just voted, with a clear majority, to continue to support the policy makers directly responsible for keeping this system in place. The government is doing what we are asking for and we are arguably getting

This line of argument appears to ignore the morality of acting rationally. No matter how repugnant its actions appear to be, UHC is acting rationally when it squeezes more profit from people. It is even acting rationally when it denies clai

It looks like a lot of people have taken this statement to be proof that the poster doesn't believe in 'regulation'. When I read this I believe the poster is pointing out how the US has a tendency to politicized anything with

I agree, 'room temp' isn't exactly precise. Even if it could work at 'room temp' if it didn't work just above that it would be too finicky for a lot of applications. Somewhere around there is likely the 'm

How interesting..... Of course liquid nitrogen + milk (with one or two other things) is worth more than the sum of its parts.

The great thing about watching advances in superconductors is that any day we could discover the first true practical room temp superconductor and that one day changes the world immensely. I personally think we are likely to find one in the

It is clear that Jones and his relatives have moved money and assets around in order to shield them from the verdict. Now, money that should have been already given to the victims is being used to steal back the megaphone that caused harmed

The recent 7.0 at the southern edge of the CSZ is a good excuse to review earthquake preparedness. A lot of people don't thing of the PNW and 'the big one' but the reality is that this earthquake will eventually happen and wh

I had been on the fence about turning this on or not since I wasn't sure if turning it on would block legitimate reasons for stabbing me. I mean, I probably have deserved it many times. Good to know those reasons won't be blockers

What I want is to have a 'pay me for ads' option that links payment info so that I get $ for viewing the ads if enabled or doesn't show the ads if not enabled or the ad service isn't willing to pay up. At least this way

This has been my thought over and over as this. has been going on. So many people are murdered in this country and this one murder probably got 1000x the resources applied to it compared to the rest. Justice should be impartial so this case

No need for conspiracy here. I'd be surprised at this point if McDonald's wasn't running that type of software on all their cameras 24/7 and using to better profile their customers. Is there actually a law against it? Th

This isn't destroying anything so I'm not sure why you say this has anything to do with the broken window fallacy or why this could be bad for the economy. Since there is confusion here, I'll pose this as a different thought

Does this matter without meaningful US privacy laws? Can't China just buy metrics and ads to get the same access?

This focuses on fertility, but the bigger deal here is it creates jobs. Because when you reduce the availability of labor you create more jobs and spur the economy. Not only will more people have jobs, but they will have more time to spend

Of course, the elephant in the room here is how does this impact the risk of a Cascadia earthquake. This had to have just added a lot of stress to the southern segment.

'better' is always a loaded term with ASR. Gemini 1.5 flash can transcribe for 0.01/hour of audio and gives strong results. If you want timing and speaker info you need to use the previous version and a -lot- of tweaking of t

Most of the above infra is predicated on limiting RAM so that you need so much communication between cards. Bump the RAM up and you could do single card inference and all those connections become overhead that could have gone to more ram. F

How big is NVIDIA now? You don't think breaking into that market is a good strategy? And, yes, I understand that this is targeted at gamers and not ML. That was the point of the comment I made. Maybe if they did target ML they would ma

The bigger point here is to ask why they aren't designing that in from the start. Same with AMD. RAM has been stalled and is critical. Start focusing on allowing a lot more of it, even at the cost of performance, and you have a real pr

give me 48gb with reasonable power consumption so I can dev locally and I will buy it in a heartbeat. Anyone that is fine-tuning would want a setup like that to test things before pushing to real GPUs. And in reality if you can fine-tune on

12GB max is a non-starter for ML work now. Why not come out with a reasonably priced 24gb card even if it isn't the fastest and target it at the ML dev world? Am I missing something here?

We should be encouraging small farms, hobby or not, because diversity breeds innovation and durability. We have propped up big ag too much. Subsidies, to any sector, should always trail off as size increases to encourage diversity and durab

It looks like most American farmers don't want socialism (looking at the recent elections). Why is socialism, collectively protecting farmers, OK? Shouldn't we instead implement the ideology that America voted for and actually sta
