I don't see a reason to separate training when we evaluate AI intelligence.

What about evolutionary intelligence optimization pressure? Genetic algorithms are smart enough to make life. It seems like genetic algorithms don't care how complex a task is since it doesn't have to "understand" how i

plant growth is not doubled yet, but this is still really neat. “We’re not at the point where we’re outperforming wild-type tobacco, but we’re on the right trajectory,” Gunn said. “We only need fairly modest improvements to Rubisco performa

Well after seeing the second video I'm pretty convinced it's superconductive or a good scam. The effect was probably just not strong enough in the first video.

well that one looks great. Maybe in the original video a superconductive effect was there, but not strong enough to frame lock. But you can see it in the newer video.

When does the hanging copper maintain a position in the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtVjGWpbE7k All I see is the normal dampening and dragging effects that I show in my physics classroom.

And I think that's what we are seeing in the video. The eddy current effect isn't permanent like in superconductivity. They have to keep moving the magnet around.

Isn't this how copper already works without superconductivity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENgdSF8ppA

Copper does this already. It's not like ferromagnets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENgdSF8ppA

Well normal copper does this in presence of a strong magnet. I don't think we are seeing superconductivity, just regular copper Meissner effect. Super conductive would frame lock the copper. right?

They also go wrong with large scale phenomena like inflation, dark matter, and dark energy.

midJourney lets you upload a reference image. For a portrait of someone's face this produces consistently the same person.

I have a 2 year old desktop apple computer and GIMP gets about 2 fps for simple tasks like using the pencil to draw. (maybe it's better on linux or PC)

Braking distance isn't a function of mass. Turns out the momentum from higher mass and the increased friction from higher mass balance exactly. I should say this is true for the physics of sliding friction forces, which aren't su

It's important that digital textbooks are more than a pdf of the pages found in a traditional textbook. You can do so much more with an explorable interactive experience. I shared my attempt at this on Hacker News a few years ago. ht

My understanding is that plastic is almost never recycled in America. Does Australia actually have a working plastic recycling system?

Mass and energy are same thing. They effect gravitational pull the same. If you compressed the Earth the energy it takes to compress the Earth would increase the mass-energy of the Earth, and this would change the orbits of planets.

A law in science isn't used the same as how you are using the word. A law isn't a really good theory. Laws are mathematical predictions based on data collected. Often it's just an equation that fits some data for a range of

Is nature made of waves or particles? The annoying answer is neither. The wave model and the particle model are approximations of nature that are each accurate for different conditions. Quantum field theory describes reality with wave funct
