This is only true in absolute numbers, because the US started so much higher than the rest of the world. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?location... Even though it started lower, Europe has been red

I wish we could, but I'm afraid the international military projection of the US would make this impossible to enforce.

Portability is explicitly mentioned as an exception to the "no RE" clauses of the DMCA, so I wouldn't expect any charge to stick, but I don't expect that fact to deter Elsevier from suing anyway, out of spite.

Indeed, for me as well, every update up to Snow Leopard felt like Christmas. I didn't understand Lion, at all. As much as I loved skeuomorphism on iOS, it felt out of place on the desktop.

No, but the perverse market forces that gave us human junk food also apply to pet food.

I'm still unconvinced. "Feral rats. Our sample consisted of 6115 (2886 males, 3229 females) wild Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) that were captured in the central alleys of high-density residential neighbourhoods using single-cap

That meta-analysis only looked at animals living among humans. Is there any evidence of wild animals living far from humans getting fat as well? If the latter are not affected, it would be reasonable to think that the former are fat because

Still, I can't see that working in a world where corporations have diverse sources of income, where investors are not necessarily invested in a given resource (or a given people/economic class), and where short term competitivenes

That works fine if the owners are invested in preserving the resource. This doesn't square well with publicly traded companies who have to ensure their operation is maximally profitable in the short term. They'd pump the place dry

Transcription factors (genes whose products modulate the activity of other genes) in the nucleus of each cell form regulation networks that are isomorphic to neural nets (with targeted activation/inhibition). Some unicellular life form

Not sure why this is being downvoted, since it appears to be accurate (searching for "remote sensing agriculture" only yields results about aerial/satellite imagery), and the linked paper contrasts "remote" (aka aer

Anecdotally, I participated, as a non-blind control, to a study assessing cross-modal perception in blind folks (how they use their visual cortex to analyze haptic stimuli). The meat of the experience was evaluating the performance of patte

Reply since the edit window is closed. I guess you could argue that an interpreter is specifically a piece of software, in which case my point wouldn't stand.

You may want to re-read the definition of Turing equivalence. You should find it in any good CS/EE book. You could bake a JS interpreter in silico . There are actual hardawre implementations of the JVM. You can also run machine langua

No. Even without those, the CPU interprets machine language. It is a hardware interpreter.

The metaphor stays apt if you take uptime into account :-) Anvils do break, sometimes, and the failure mode is catastrophic: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=broken+anvil&t=h_&iax=images&ia=im...

That's true, but you set the bar very low. Regarding user support, Google ranks on par with an anvil.

Don't forget the CPU, which can also be malicious. That being said, that problem can be worked around by throwing interpreters into the mix.

In this case, we'd be talking about hormones or toxins that get into the blood flow which distributes them to most cells in our organism. By extension, most if not all molecules that are present in the plasma.

Colors are not wavelength. Color actually has three dimensions that can be coded as RGB, HSL, LAB, or using degenerate coding in four dimensions with CYMK. Visual geometry has three dimensions, making vision a 6 dimensions thing (plus time,

Isn't AI vs ML mostly a matter of branding, the latter being a subset of the former? I thought that researchers rallied behind the ML moniker to get funding at a time when the AI winter meant you couldn't get money to do "AI&
