I can track down the studies he’s criticising. A Google search doesn’t show up anything refuting those. What are the studies he’s citing?

I think you’ve got your facts garbled, or the podcast has. Up to about 20% of Neanderthal DNA has survived somewhere dispersed among humans, but some countries and backgrounds have a maximum of 3% per human. The average is about 2% outside

Commenter was pointing out a design problem. Your phone has a different design problem. Are you arguing that a device being able to fail in one way makes it ok for it to also be able to fail in other ways?

Ok, disingenuous and/or stupid.

Disappointingly nothing in that study relates these health impacts to known levels of microplastics in humans. That means there’s no way to tell, from that study, if the levels of microplastics to be found in you and me are likely to have m

Have you opened an older file? Maybe it only works with files created with the feature. I’ve no idea why that would be the case, but it’s all I can think of.

You are implicitly claiming that corruption, special interests and broken rights protections are unique problems for capitalism, unknown in non-capitalist systems. A clear eyed look at history makes it evident that if you take away private

Reuse of starship models certainly happened in SF shows and movies. There’s a big fleet battle in Serenity with IIRC some Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek models in the background, and I think the Serenity and one or two Star Trek ships f

In many ways the old API layers are sandboxed much like a VM. The main problems are things like device drivers, software that wants direct access to external interfaces, and software that accesses undocumented APIs or implementation details

We can consider any question and conclude that we don’t know the answer. LLMs can’t meaningfully do that. They just make stuff up.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. These pages talk about how the ordering of marked adverts appear in results, not non-advert search results. Having said that, I think it's clear the quality of non-ad search results

Just to try and summarise the issue. It turns out measurements of one of the entangled particles (particle A) are correlated to the settings of the measurement apparatus. For example the axis on which the polarisation of a photon is measure

Imagine that for the first 50 years of aviation all airplanes had been single use, and then in the 1960s someone figured out how to make them reusable. Thats what’s happening with space flight. The next 75 years are going to be interesting.

SpaceX is a US company too. The government has to be comfortable letting the incumbents fail, so that companies like SpaceX and Anduril can take their place.

>That Bell’s theorem “proves” something is language applicable to a mathematical structure, not to the physical world itself. Do you not accept the validity of experimental verification?

If we completely understood biology, we wouldn’t need to wait for a tumour to come along in order to take advantage of that knowledge. A tumour would still be a nuisance, they don’t bring along any more resources. OP is talking nonsense.

Thanks, it’s good to get counter arguments and wider context. This isn’t an area I’m very familiar with, so I’m aware I could easily fall down a an intellectual pothole without knowing. Paper below, any additional context welcome. I misreme

There’s an interesting wrinkle to this. There’s a faculty called Prefrontal Synthesis that children learn from language early on, which enables them to compose recursive and hierarchical linguistic structures. This also enables them to reas

Disingenuous and wrong don’t mean the same thing. Nothing in that comment indicates malicious intent, even though I don’t agree with the opinion.

Why would the average distance a neutron has to travel to strike a nucleus increase? I suppose it does eventually, as the number of undecayed nuclei falls, but that wouldn’t be a significant effect until the criticality reaction had very si

Children growing up in pampered, protected, desocialised environments isn’t a new phenomenon never before seen in history though.
