As a Duck Duck Go user, I find it strange Google is still considered a better search to the point it can be argued objectively in court. Every time I fail with DDG and add a !g to do an actual Google search, I fail there too. I don't k

Will publishers be setting their prices or will ProRata be determining the rates? It would be interesting to see estimated payment breakdowns for samples, eg. if name brands get to command more, or if sources of esoteric information do in t

I look forward to Microsoft eating their own dogfood and providing a support assistant for Windows and their other software. At the moment Copilot chat is stuck with sourcing pointless support forums and 3rd party 'power user' gui

The thoughts described in the article sound a lot like OCD. Which is very common, so may actually be a common expression of OCD.

It is making income disparity worse and causing problems to the larger economy, such as contributing to ballooning housing prices. Wealth accumulates with the retired and elderly, with children generally inheriting in middle age, also becom

Its more my summary of the case. I'm not sure if this needs to devolve into machine rights though. If you treat the computer just like a tool, then it comes down to is it ok to mimic an artist using raw talent, but not using technology

Is it ok for four boys to train themselves on Led Zeppelin music and call themselves Greta Van Fleet, but not ok to train a computer on Led Zeppelin music and call it AI generated music that sounds like Led Zeppelin?

Over here, if the engine works without pedaling or when traveling over 25km/h, it is a motorcycle, and can't even use bike lanes. But I've heard of that being enforced and the food delivery industry seems to have become depen

I think the classification is pretty standard. A bicycle has pedals. A motorcycle/moped does not. Legal definitions start drifting by region about things like can you ride an e-bike without using the pedals or maximum speeds. So I doub

Both. Most religions consider gambling immoral because it leads to social harm. You need to favor personal freedoms and personal responsibility more to justify taxing gambling rather than banning it. Or acknowledging that prohibition may ca

I'm speechless. Such a fantastically discoverable UI, a tribute to Douglas Adams. How did I never find this?

If only the world was so simple and one dimensional and we never needed to compromise. Lets have 5 phones, each representing the pinnacle of a single attribute I care about, none of them actually meeting my needs.

It takes both technology and motivation. Why populate the next star system? Why the next? And the next few million? You need technology developed by a civilization with the need or desire to expand infinitely. Humanity's only motivatio

Is it really a different point of view? You have one paper estimating a time period and probabilities. And another paper stating that these estimates are inaccurate, and the best we can do without working out ways of doing the calculations

The FDA does not regulate most of the world. There is some other issue, but I can only make guesses what that is.

Last I heard, they were very sensitive to things like imaging equipment, so they could diagnose well if imaging was done by the same gear that provided the training data. It worked fine in the hospital that developed it, but unable to deplo

And will combining the two tests catch a higher percentage? Could go as high as catching 97%, although I suspect lower due to some correlation between what cancers the two tests will pick up (eg. not advanced enough to leak blood into stool

Does anyone know the detection rate of this blood test when combined with a FOBT stool test?

Australia offers stool tests (fecal occult blood test) every 2 years starting at 45. The increased frequency may help. But yes, you can't ignore other symptoms and I hadn't realized the false-negative rate was that high. Hope you

With modern developer tooling, it kind of is. Pick the right language for the right job. You can catch the vast majority of crashes in your code at compile time, to the point where the potential of 'making a mistake' is a statisti
