You shouldn't eat or breathe building insulation either, but we banned asbestos there. Anything where inhaled microparticles = cancer should not be in any consumer product. Yeah, benzene in gasoline, but the body can metabolize that

These guys say it's a certain strain of gut bacteria that causes Parkinson's: https://yle.fi/a/74-20030498 The immune system declines in old age and it migrates from the gut to the brain. Certain groups of g

Don't be too excited. They are as toxic as asbestos. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-nanotube-d... And, more recently, airborne nanotubes are leading to cancers: https://www.nature.c

I imagine the factories of the future will be 3d printed and look like metallic fungus. They will be serviceable only with robots that can slide around in narrow gaps to inspect them. They will mostly be operated in the dark. Perhaps they

The democrats have been in power for 30 years in California. Blaming Regan at this point is completely totally ludicrous.

Canadians are so incredibly passive. They let the government do whatever it wants. I think it's because they trust their government so much that when you get the Trudeau administration, which is about as bad faith as a government gets

Since you asked: Here's my first novel: "The Undeserving Future" https://a.co/d/aQ1Nn4G which is basically 1984 and Brave New World but for a future dystopia based on eco-totalitarianism instead of Stal

No doubt you'll see an Android/Apple split and the Apple people won't be able to date the Android people because of incompatible augmented pheromones that smell funny if you're not on the same platform.

Not many people have read my novels because they are extremely dense and technical near future stuff, but I've made interesting friends from writing those books. In fact, one contact I made basically paid for the whole two year invest

I avoid getting in small planes since the statistics say they are as dangerous as riding motorcycles.

You laugh, but people in incel circles are heralding the nascent arrival of better than real AI girlfriends. She night as well live in your toaster or fridge if you're trying to be energy efficient.

Can't you run the model in reverse? Brute force through various random parameters to the model to figure out which ones make a difference? Sure, it could have absurd dimensionality, but then it would be unlikely one could even grasp

Slashdot curates a lot of good stories even though the comments section is, IMHO, garbage.

If you can figure out which 90% we need when they are in seed stage you can become a billionaire venture capitalist. It's like someone spent their whole life searching a thousand volume library of where's Waldo books for a pictur

The Houthis have shown that with the proliferation of advanced cheap drones we're starting to enter a period like the 18th century where random rebels can compete militarily with nation states. The ATF and FAA don't know how to h

Last time I checked, being a member of the communist party in China is not a racial classification. That the Chinese Communist party allows no immigration and brutally suppresses minorities in its borders might be. Speaking of which, did

You're failing to account for the most common cognitive bias on the entire internet which is : "People I agree with are smart. People I disagree with are stupid."

It could be that the technological civilization arose extremely quickly, and only in certain limited geographical areas before the population could grow to overwhelm the earth with industrial production. They might have had a completely di

I mean it's pretty ridiculous to invest in food. However, with the way things are going, preppers who eventually eat all their storable food after a few years are actually going to save a lot of money. Too bad that, except for a few

I think the movie "Her" buried the lead. Why have a girlfriend in one's ear when one could have a compilation of great entrepreneurs multimodally telling you what to do?

The black box AI models could calculate epicycles perfectly so the middle ages Catholic Church could say just use those instead of being a geocentrrism denier.

What if our understanding of the laws of the natural sciences are subtly flawed and AI just corrects perfectly for our flawed understanding without telling us what the error in our theory was? Forget trying to understand dark matter. Just

I've been to a number of big construction sites for business purposes. When I hear, "this is a $40 million dollar project" and when I see all these workmen, equipment and materials moving around, I think, so this is what $40

The used GPU market is also being driven likely by grey market sales to China as they are prevented from buying directly by export regulations. Some random ebay seller is not going to be checking if the person they are selling to is some s

Kind of feels like they are implementing China like full blow AI surveillance state here, and just waiting to flip the switch on it. They probably have all the bills sitting in a drawer somewhere for the next pandemic or whatever the heck

Does Europe have QSBS? I think that leads to the serial entrepreneur and angel thing.

Something that fits all of that is a career as a professional athlete. Are you any good at golf? ;)

The politicians are gunning extremely hard for open source AI. It's crazy. "Soros argued that synergy like that between corporate and government AI projects creates a more potent threat than was posed by Cold War–era autocrats, m

This reminds me of P=NP. It's hard to find a sha256 with a given number of leading zeros, but it's super easy to verify. It's hard to make Microsoft Office, or a Pharmaceutical Drug, but easy to see that they work. The con
