All I want is health insurance with low premiums, freedom to choose my providers, and a $50k deductible. Like, actual insurance for catastrophic risks. What we have now should not properly be called insurance. It's more like a mandat

I frequently find that my data service is completely broken even when I have full 5G bars. Inflating by one is lame but doesn't explain this behavior. Is this a T-Mobile thing or is it widespread these days? I don't remember it ha

I also recently subscribed to ConsumerLab, and I'm glad I did. I wish they could test products more frequently as things are bound to change from batch to batch, but it's a whole lot better than nothing. I don't take a lot of

GPT-5 scores 58%? That seems way too high. GPT-5 is good but it is not that close to AGI. Also, weird to see Gary Marcus and Yoshua Bengio on the same paper. Who really wrote this? Author lists are so performative now.

Another reason people use Nvidia. You know that Nvidia is the most used backend and the most likely to have this kind of bug found and fixed before you encounter it.

Seems to me that a camera like this is necessarily, at least in part, a closed system that blocks you from controlling the software or hardware on the device you supposedly own. It's hard for me to think this is a good direction. And a

Exactly. The plane can land with one engine or even no engines, but it can't land without a pilot in a functioning cockpit.

This is polycrystalline diamond, which probably scatters phonons anyway, so it seems naively like using a single isotope wouldn't help much. But that's definitely an interesting fact and I think you're right that it probably

If this can enable practically unlimited 3D stacking of CMOS layers, it could be hugely consequential for computing. On an unrelated note, I like the writing style of this article a lot. This is how science journalism should be. It reminds

Yes, and this is one reason why eczema is correlated with allergies, because it allows allergens to pass through the skin more readily. And it's probably also a reason why babies put everything in their mouths; they're training th

Hmm, at first I was thinking "why OCR?", but maybe the reason is to ingest more types of training data for LLM improvement, e.g. scanned academic papers? I imagine all the frontier labs have a solution for this due to the value of

Yeah, I see people pooh-poohing the idea of humanoid robots being useful this decade, saying it will take at least 20 years. Oh yeah? Instead of 5 years to render all human labor obsolete, it will take 20? The magnitude of that change is so
