I think UBI is a horrifically bad idea. However, I don't think good OR bad results from studies like this are remotely relevant. It's like testing air pressure by patching 1% of a hole. The effects from testing a subset of the

My son was in Japan a few years back, and said that there was a 'help wanted' publication for the city he was in. It was released in two volumes, one for men, one for women. I seem to remember he said they were blue and pink, bu

I read that absolutely credulously. I thought "137 years ago? Would that phase transition under pressure be widely known around 1890?" then after a few moments of pondering... "wait a minute!"

It's a massive amount of data. Not just video, but all senses, continuously. Also, I think an important aspect is that the training data is interactive. From day one, an infant sees his own hands moving and begins testing cause and

"Are masks effective" is the completely wrong question, anyway. The question should be "how effective are masks?" Preferably, "How effective are masks against X under Y circumstance?" In relation to Covid, I t

They aren't collecting gender. They're guessing at gender. If they're doing it right, they're just storing a score representing likelihood. I don't think it's a given how the courts would rule on that... eve
