Agree. It is simply idiotic how they conveniently gather hundreds of people in a crowded spot who are all pulling and tinkering with stuff from their backpacks. A bad actor can easily cause more deaths there than on a plane nowadays. Everyt

In my opinion, nobody with sane mind would want to escalate when dealing with the cops. But you cannot expect the same from the other side. I used to be pretty neutral on the topics of LEOs until I saw all those videos where even if someone

I always wonder what do the devs who coded these "features" think about themselves and/or what other people think about them. Yes I know they are literally paid to not have these questions. But deep down, is there any remorse

Cultural influence isn't just popular media. The language (Latin based), the government (democracy/senate), architecture (the white house), etc. They are the sum of a nation identity, how it appears, act, interact with others. You

Tale as old as time. China has historically always been a leader in Asia. At its peak, it controlled an empire as vast as the entirety of the EU. Its cultural influence in Asia rivals that of Rome in the West, except that Rome is no more, b

I guess technically, one can try to simulate every single atoms and their interactions with each others to get this result. However, considering how many atoms there are in a cubic foot of meat, this isn't very possible even with curre

The article said "stop recommending" and to me that is functionally "stop providing access". Personally, I believe for most people, the algorithm is all of Youtube. It controls what show up on the side bar and on the sea

"Sane" or "Insane"? Human society has always been glorifying certain body types and physical violence all the way back to ancient Greek and very likely way earlier. There is nothing wrong with admiring and chasing after

That is overly hostile and ironically wrong. Some catalysts do get "degraded" over time and need to be regenerated. Look up palladium sintering or zeolite coking. The catalyst itself is not "damaged" but by catalyzing a

You can't gift doctors a paid vacation, there are rules and laws already in place. Also, MSLs are not simply "salepeople". They often require a PhD so their job description is more about "spreading knowledge" than &

Who else should they advertise to then? The consumers aren't knowledgeable enough to make the decision on which drug they should take. Doctors are the only one qualified. In fact, it is morally worse to advertise and influence people w

Maybe I am a callous person, but I have never agreed to this "don't speak ill of the dead" thing. People live and die. It is inevitable. To the grieving family, I can understand why refraining from insulting the dearly depart

Fact is stranger than fiction. Literal horror plot and they just wrote it down in the lab notebook in the standard bored tone. We used to joke about how the future AIs are going to point to what we do today to justify their uprising. Feel e

Gemini is the worst lol. It confirmed the question is about things toxic to human but not dogs but then confidently say chocolate is safe for dogs. At least other models were just confused with the question. Gemini is outright being wrong.

An embodied LLM make the entire setup so much more interesting and in my opinion, showcases the potential of current technology in the next few years. At the very least, in terms of entertainment.

Pretty common in SF unfortunately. Real estate in SF is completely broken unless you make 7 figures a year. At which point one can join the game to make it even more broken.

I consider this a glimpse into how neural networks and "AI"-like techs would be implemented in the future. Lots of engineering, lots of clever manipulations of known techniques woven together with a powerful, well trained, model,

I mean, the US already has forced labor (i.e. prison labor). And for what it worth, China is leading the way in green energy transition. They are pushing it much faster and adopting it way better than anything the US has historically tried.

Even if they did, the result would never be accepted. People will nitpick everything they can, from comparability to methodology, to ignore whatever may come out of such a study. Heck, the original is still controversial to this day and the

Nice tech. This is the kind of innovation that will get commercial attention and may come out in the next few years as a multimillion dollar product sold to biopharma. The current microfluidics and optical tweezer systems are slow and cummb

It is funny to me how illegal immigration keeps getting the spotlight while legal immigration is left in the dust. It is a long and arduous process to get a green card in the US if one is trying to do it by the book. Even a US-educated PhD

Yes, they balance to a certain degree. But one is much easier to increase than the other, especially when you consider which country the F-35 would most likely be deployed against. By "proven", I meant this: a while ago, the doctr

My best guess is that the hole was there before the mushroom grew. It is hard to find a biological species that need so much iron in their metabolism to the point it evolved something that can dissolve pure metal in a matter of 1-2 months.
