National insurance contributions have nothing to do with the NHS. NI contributions determine your state pension (but because the money from NI just goes to treasury, NI is really just income tax with different name)

They talk about it in the article. The last figure shows what happens to the normal membrane at high pressures, it becomes too stiff/compressed and therefore cannot function (i.e. let things through etc)

It is most likely the model's fault. I once had a machine with 36 Seagate ST3000DM001, they were failing almost once a month -- see the annual failure rate here https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive-q4-201

Astronomer here. Sorry for criticism, but I think it would be much better if galaxies were shown in 3d. There are a lot of surveys providing redshifts, hence 3d positions. Then one would see the cosmic web, otherwise it looks a bit weird j

I do not find this view to be useful. The are cases from my personal experience, where I asked somewhat esoteric practical questions, that likely do not (seem) to have a clear answer in the web and I have got considerable help from ChatGPT.

I know that DOE's supercomputer NERSC has a lot of documentation https://docs.nersc.gov/getting-started/ . Plus they also have weekly events where you can ask any questions about how the code/optimisation etc

That is actually a very interesting idea. While I am not necessarily interested in some sort of build system for a paper, but being able to figure out which plots need to be regenerated when some data file or some equation is changed is use

They were to large extent provoked by misinformation about the attacker on kids party. The misinformation stayed on twitter for long time and was spread out by many people including Musk.

He's not persona non grata. He visited Russia last time in October 2021 (see recent reporting by Vaznye Istorii). (I doubt he'll escape to Russia though).

There is no need for backdoor anything, when there are public channels. I do not know the specifics of French case though, so I don't know if their case is about those or some private chats.

A channel that incites violence is against the law (in some countries). A channel selling drugs is against the law. These are few examples. I do not how the specific details of the French case to comment on the specifics. I could believe th

A bunch of people in comments here seem to misunderstand what telegram is. It is not just a messaging app, it is essentially a platform like twitter, with channels, hundreds of thousands of subscribers to those. While I fully support E2E

Because Telegram is not just a messenger, it's a platform for distributing news/info through channels. Signal simply does not have that.

Actually Overleaf was called WriteLatex before. They renamed themselves in 2014. The ShareLatex came later.

When there is no experimental evidence for black holes, it makes perfect sense to be resistant/skeptical to new type of objects with solutions involving infinities (singularity). Whether that's being irrational or not is up to deb

What are you specifically denying ? 1) the increase in temperature on the planet 2) the danger from increase temperature? 3) the human origin of temperature increase? Enlighten us with motivation why you think a ton of studies on each of t

The question is how one would fix this in practice. Make drug ordering/buying by companies an open bidding process/auction? Or just force the companies to disclose who they buy from for what money?

If you think that the output of current LLM is the ground truth, then yes, what are they doing is biasing.

I don't think Google is particularly moral, but I do not believe they make any money now in Russia. So you are incorrect in your main thesis. YouTube monetisation was disabled a long time ago and Google was fined for some crazy amount

Interesting. But, I would think it's not that you can't create a good language past 40, but it's more of a question of not being to devote enough productive years pushing the language forward, promoting it, updating it, to ma

My understanding is that the main limitation of LLM is that their are single pass. I.e. they process once and return they answer. If that answer is correct that's great but if they answer doesn't make sense LLM has no ability to r

Interesting graph, but I find it strange there are these really unpopular numbers like 0738. I can't see the reason why it would be significantly less popular than similar ones, i.e. 0739 or 0758

I am not convinced. I am teaching a numerical techniques course in python. I have been thinking of how to use the LLMs for the course but haven't found the way that doesn't short-circuit learning. I.e. the analogy that I came to
