Based on the title, I was expecting this article to have instructions for calibrating an air quality sensor, rather than just explaining different error types.

Medical leeches are still very much a thing. They’re used to help improve venous circulation after plastic surgery around reattached body parts, help with burn recovery, etc

It’s potentially nice for the consumer. If I could get personalised audio and video content created on demand for me, that would be pretty amazing. But it does disincentivise people from creating content rather than just consuming it, and I

> Is there really a difference between a human flooding the market using AI and a human flooding the market using a printing press? Yes. A printing press only floods the market with copies. An AI floods the market with new derivative wor

Parents often let their children struggle and make imperfect decisions, and it's entirely possible (though definitely not guaranteed) that an AI superparent would do the same for us. I think it's becoming clear that humans are fun

In the article they talk about using artificial electromagnetic fields as an alternative to sticking random antennas in the soil, which apparently works well too

Climate change absolutely won't be solved in twenty years if everybody stops having kids. What's your logic there?

Your child will have their own relationships one day, and for better or worse will model those on the relationships they've spent their lives watching others have. What sort of relationships do you want your child to have?

The widespread reports of smells in the air, headaches, dead fish and other animals makes it hard to believe that "all the readings are at normal concentrations". Although what they actually said is that all the readings they&#x27

Not any more - check out dreambooth. You can train a stable diffusion model to generate images of a specific person or object quite easily now. It's well within the realm of AI art enthusiasts, even those with no technical experience.

There's a register for censorship decisions made in NZ: https://register.classificationoffice.govt.nz/Pages/Screens/... As you can imagine, most of the decisions seem to be focused on CSAM. But it also lists

I agree that if all CSAM was virtual and no IRL abuse occurred anymore, that would be a vast improvement, despite the continued existence of CSAM. But I suspect many abusers aren't just in it for the images. They want to abuse real peo

In their video they state the the optimised versions run at 70 FPS. I'm very tempted to replace my Teams camera with this.

You said he was frustrated with his coworkers and superiors, but that's probably due to not hiring many other intelligent officers. Hire more intelligent officers and you'll have fewer frustrated intelligent officers.

I don't think volunteering to fight in warzones is compatible with being a parent, but it's also not something relevant to the experience of almost any person here :) The number of people who choose to do things like that is small

You're right that it costs time and money, but I don't see that as proof that parents have to stop living their own lives or become boring. I do all the things listed above. I also have kids. They aren't incompatible. The big

Why can't parents travel, date new people, have ridiculously cool hobbies, read, and talk to random people on the street? As far as conversation topics go, my friends and I rarely spend more than a few minutes here and there discussing

Docker isn't a good fit in HPC environments, but you can achieve a similar thing using Singularity.

I'm not sure that it is a problem in Python more than other languages. It might look worse because many Python projects use tools such as CUDA, which are notoriously dependent on the specific OS, architecture, method of installation

Why would two million people shaking keys be more impactful than the sanctions that have already devastated Russia's economy? I don't particularly disagree with your stance, but I'm not convinced Russian protests will change

Soldering heavy gauge wire is more about having thermal mass in the iron tip than high temperature. That is part of why you can buy different tips - selecting the tip with the right thermal mass will allow you to quickly get the workpiece u

You're not wrong, but the "couple percent of your lifetime" high stress period is still long enough to irreparably damage relationships. Not everybody enjoys time with their kids, either. I'm truly glad you do, but that

If you want to summarise my point, it was that your analogy was poor. It doesn't make any sense to compare sending a resume in response to a job listing with adverts for products I have not requested information about being inserted in

Just as an aside, a CPU from 2022 will generally be much faster and efficient than one from 2014, even if the clock speed is similar, due to architecture improvements.

I don't think that's a good analogy. We don't generally post our resumes as inline adverts on web pages, or on billboards outside tech campuses, hoping for a job. Companies start the conversation by creating a role and giving
