Last time I checked (in SF), Uber was $16.70 for a ride I wanted to take and Waymo was $25.40. All things being equal (or anywhere near equal), I'll pay the human driver rather than the bot.

Lactoferrin is also able to kill SARS-CoV-2. In 2020 I had lactoferrin on fabric tested by a university laboratory for a potential product. The product didn't go anywhere after that, but it was conclusively shown that lactoferrin did i

It seems to explain them well because you already know how they work. To most people, that diagram would not explain very much.

I've always interpreted the Eden myth as a memory of the development of agriculture. Before agriculture, people lived as hunters and (mainly) gatherers. The life of a Hunter-gatherer is, surprisingly, mostly leisure, because of the abu

I'm not sure about chicken cells but my experience with growing human cells (WI-38 fibroblasts)[1] is that they want to grow in a monolayer. The way we grew them normally was in those roller bottles [2]: you have some tissue culture me

Try ketamine. It's been shown to work well for people for whom other things haven't worked (and for others). Easily available online (at the moment) through telemedicine from places like this one https://www.joyous.team

So they simulated a chemical process, and the simulation ran 100B times slower than the actual chemical process? Kind of like how simulating anything in detail tends to be a lot slower than the actual thing you're simulating? Is the di

Organic Maps has the best walking directions. It's always picking interesting routes and has never led me astray. Also, if you go in a different direction, it automatically remaps from where you are at the moment to where you told it y

Your pricing seems to eliminate some use cases, including mine. Rather than wanting to import N documents per month, I would want to import M documents all at once, then use that set of documents until at some future time I want to import a

GPT-4 has gotten so much worse over the last few months, and GPT-3.5 has gotten better. I still think GPT-4 has an edge but its frustratingly dumb and loses context so often that I'm not sure how much of an edge it really has any more.

This is a horrible proposal. Power should still cost per KWh, but that price should be the sliding scale. If there's no economic incentive to save power, people will tend to do it less.

I thought that USB flash drives were not made to withstand the duty cycle required of system drives, and that's why SSDs cost more - because they have the hardware to transparently detect errors and remap them to a reserve set of locat

Apple maps has more friendly driving directions. Instead of something like "turn right in 250 feet" it says something like "go past this light, and at the next one, turn right". That's a much better UI.
