Does it concentrate in the brain specifically, or is it distributed throughout our bodies? The brain is about 2% of the mass of our body. Is there 50 spoon's worth of plastic in our body? I'm feeling a little skeptical.

>the new AI privileges are only available to the primary account holder and not the rest of my family. Heh. Things like that drive my wife absolutely crazy. I get to tease her about Microsoft wanting my OK if she tries to do something

I feel similarly, personally. I can't imagine needing emotional support... emotions are tools of my psyche, and needing another's help would mean that something was broken within myself that I needed to fix. That doesn't mea

Absolutely. My pathetically small local LLM is in some ways vastly superior to cloud-based models that are orders of magnitude larger. Not in ability, but in how I can use it.

One important point (I think) is whether the cause or outcome of the box can be understood or predicted without full emulation of the entire box. Can it be distilled down to a more simple set of rules, or is it a chaotic system that turns

I can't stop my wife from cleaning everything we put in recycling. Not just a rinse-off, but completely and immaculately cleaning them. Sometimes in the dishwasher. I think the net environmental benefit of our recycling may be below

I listened to an advice show many years back. The vast majority of callers had a question that could be paraphrased: "I have this problem, and I should do X, but I really want to do Y." The host would say, "do X." Once

Yeah, I got a negative impression of the guy. It looped around the parking lot for five minutes. I'm not a fan of self-driving cars, but this doesn't seem like a huge deal.
