Patent medicine is how I like to think about it. Strong placebo effect, occasionally some health benefits, mostly nominal. Strong economic incentives and some harmful effects. Traveling salesmen who claim wonders, then leave town before the

The explosion in the video does show visible smoke, but there is not a visible flame or fire.

The scope of “success” under examination in this guide is tailored for an artificial economic organism that wants to survive and capitalize in a particular competitive marketplace (YouTube). It is almost certainly not generalizable advice f

I recently discovered the channel “Radio chatter for sleep” which contains old space shuttle air to ground link recordings. Hope you find something that works. https://youtube.com/@radiochatterforsleep?si=JafAcX4-u4fRrmL...

Indeed I’d be surprised something like this doesn’t already exist. This article almost reads like a press release for the product that has been developed. What it needs is an air of legitimacy, hence the appeal to a public-private partnersh

If and when there is a US Cyber Safety Review Board investigation of this incident, documents like that are going to be considered with great interest by the parties involved. Often it is the engineers working for a heavily invested custome

That was my impression too. Better to have 500 highly enriched items with facets or tags to aid exploration and discovery. There are more than a few Commercial tools flagged as Free, unless it means “free tier available” and not FOSS. A too

Brave’s crypto reward features might be a better analogy, but I like the comparison. Fortunately I get paid to throw shade. Here is a free sample: “Unsupervised use of LLMs can increase the risk of exposing sensitive information. Mitigation

Watching this video, I am impressed by how well FSD works! Watching FSD crash videos, though, I am reminded by the many spectacular failure modes of SAE Level <4 driving systems on public roads. The NHTSA reported in April that most fata

Since Mercedes Drive Assist is SAE Level 2 and supported only on highways, the high number of interventions is a feature and not a bug. The Mercedes driver seemed to be engaged and attentive, and therefore not likely to play a video game, w

Perhaps the Yama cold brew tower CDM25 is the device you saw. It is used at many fine establishments including my kitchen, and I also have the smaller CDM8. The numbers 8 and 25 correspond to the number of cups of diluted 1:1 cold brew that

I think we can both agree that online behavior can be harmful even when it is legally protected, and that free speech is a topic about which some people are very passionate.

If his rapper persona had tweeted the lyrics to a diss track but clarified the theatrical kayfabe by breaking the fourth wall, that arguably could be less of a threat but still demonstrate questionable judgment, so I agree with you there. B

Fair point, the apparent shift in their consumer electronics division (a decline in innovation) may be partially or entirely unrelated to the factors leading to this incident. However the brand as a whole is not enjoying its day in the sun,

TechAltar on youtube posted a video last year about the decline of Philips. They apparently just excel at toothbrushes, smart bulbs, and shavers nowadays, and cash in on the name through licensing. [1] It is an unfortunate tragedy that so m

This pasta is not for everyone. I liked the nerdy marketing and funky shape, and found it to compare favorably to other novelty pasta of which I am a fan. Slightly undercooked, it’s fun to pretend I’m eating a sea slug or some other exotic

And all things considered, an AI security assistant like Copilot might be a good investment too, if they lack highly skilled front line security staff. Not to mention, AI generated automated playbooks in Sentinel to automatically apply Zero
