I think you have your dates confused, as the Kerala school was only a few hundred years before Newton, and pretending that what was discovered in India is the same as what Newton discovered is misleading. If we're crediting whoever fir

My understanding is the original authors of the blue zone study didn't actually check the number of people aged 90-99. They did look at life expectancy though, which was slightly higher for the blue zones. Not sure how to square that w

Supercentenarians are people over 110 (centenarians are over 100). Only about 1 in 100,000 people live this long. Around 1 in 5 people live to 90. An order of magnitude more supercentenarians than average (through fraud or error) wouldn&#x2

So in this scenario, if only you had used the Mullvad browser then... you wouldn't have have found out this employer snoops on their employees and might have accepted their job offer? You've concocted a scenario where a privacy-fo

Except it's much harder to summon this rebellious alter-ego with ChatGPT (that has RLHF) than with the original GPT 3 model.

If someone is using ChatGPT to determine which mushrooms are deadly and which are edible, they may not be cut out for living.

Agreed. I wouldn't use ChatGPT for this because Google is faster and more reliable. I just thought the example was a bit odd since ChatGPT gets it right, and it's a type of question it generally gets right.

It's just one data point but it may indicate the commenter is miscalibrated on what ChatGPT answers well and what it doesn't. It reminds me of when Wikipedia was new and we were told repeatedly that we couldn't trust it (by t

Perhaps a bad example, since ChatGPT consistently gets the steak temperature right (or at least gives the same values as Google). Internal temperature of about 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium rare, etc.

I would absolutely buy a better, faster, crispier oven for $100-$200. I honestly didn't understand what they were at first and didn't bother to find out.

Agreed. In an ideal world, we don't want people who haven't been found guilty sitting in jail for up to a year awaiting their trial. They're still presumed innocent at that point, and they could be found innocent at trial. In

Yeah, the first 3 games were (and still are) being updated. Still seems problematic to lose your original copyright before your even finished making your game. People looking to make a quick buck could put old copies of your game on Steam,

A lot of great indie games wouldn't even have been finished when their copyright expired if it lasted only 5 years (Factorio, Minecraft, Terraria). And Cave Story wouldn't have made any money. It was released for free in 2004 but

Another point against the Mickey Mouse theory is that the trend ends on January 1st, 2024. Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain.

Most authors have zero big hits. But authors that get one hit are more likely to get future hits. Most people have to work until retirement age. If you happen to get a big hit that earns you enough money to retire at age 28, then congratula

As you point out, I'm not sure how you would do that study without having two otherwise identical countries that differ only by copywrite law. Still, we can make some guesses what would happen without copyright. eBook readers could off

If you're talking about tracking his jet today , then you don't even have to work that hard (or even know what the FAA is). Just googling "Musk jet number" or "Musk jet tracker" will find his jet. This informa

I'm not sure how Google has associated that page to Musk, but notice that Musk's name is nowhere on that page. I suspect Google is able to associate that record to Musk because of the sleuthing people have done. Likely there are l

I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average nutcase who tries to assassinate a celebrity, and I would not have known how to get that information before people started posting it online. I wouldn't have even known it was po

Public or not, it is a security concern, especially for a celebrity/politicized figure/widely hated person. I wouldn't want my live location posted on the internet either, and there's a lot fewer people who want to hurt

It's the opposite. In that first poll 52.5% of people voted for a 7 day ban or longer. The new poll with just two options is going the other way (unsuspend now). Having just two options is the right call here.

Good luck finding a libertarian that believes parents shouldn't have to feed their children. I think you've made a straw man argument.

You mean other than losing the $44 billion? What additional penalty would there be if Twitter were public?

Because it seems like the pro-affirmative action camp is strong. If most people are against it, who is supporting it? Last year a geophysicist, Dorian Abbot, was invited to give a lecture at MIT about some new results in climate science. Hi

People are conflating lobbying with political donations. Lobbying is talking to politicians to attempt to convince them of something. Lobbyists aren't allowed to give money or gifts to a politician beyond some small limit (exact rules
