A good introduction but it is too narrow on the "science" side and not enough on the regulatory side. I can say this with pretty strong confidence: had the FDA not being so strict about its trials, lots of these experimental type

Many reasons. One of them being doctors won't prescribe an off brand drug and insurance won't cover anything related to it. The other reasons are: 1/ Even the manufacturer doesn't know everything about how the drug was m

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. When someone commits an evil act, they did it because they think it is justified somehow. Most bad people do not see themselves as bad at the moment of the act, only as someone who had a reaso

The money is irrelevant. An example to deter future attempts is what this is. They are crucifying this guy in the most cruel manner they could and spread the news as much as they can for a reason.

Large (capable) law firms would not want to associate themselves with the underdog in this case. Either because they want to avoid conflict of interest, or confidentiality matters as they likely already have an ongoing relationship with the

This is some dystopian cyberpunk shit people a few decades ago would read in a fiction and think "scary but would not happen for real"... And the fact is, we all know what this means, what would likely to happen next, and that we

I guess it depends on how you measure "power". By "influence and control lives" metrics, Bezos is more powerful than most medieval kings. Back then, a population of 1-2 millions is quite good for a country with the top o

Assuming it works the way you are describing, that rapid change is what we need right now. People are claiming this year isn't much hotter than last year and drag their feet. But it is much hotter than a decade ago for sure. If we go f

I wonder if this article is ragebait but I do feel kinda irked when I read things like this. Coming from a place where the price you see is the price you pay (i.e. most of the world), the US surprised me with the taxes on checkout, then the

I mean, a bunch of rocks falling on a keyboard can also generate tokens. So can an autocomplete software running on a 10W phone. But the quality is so far apart to the point you would find most people do not consider them on the same catego

A little thing I realize upon reading about all the brain study is how bad we are at reverse engineering a totally alien "computer". In popular media, human is often depicted as some super scavenger that can exploit and adapt alie

Not really, the answer you are referring to is for completely stopping the moon by delivering enough energy to cancel out its current kinetic energy, of the entire moon! We don't need to stop the moon to change its orbit. With careful

For the dollar to collapse in this lifetime to the point you can benefit that way, it will take a major event that would also likely decimate the US real estate market. Maybe for your children's lifetime, if they are lucky. It took Bri

Honestly? Pretty smart move by them. Japan's major export is its culture. Nowadays almost everyone enjoy manga and anime and by extension, they adore Japan. That kind of soft power can be very useful. By allowing unlimited access to th

Sora is a thing. It literally walloped everything else in the field to the point the second closest video generation model looked like a broken nonfunctional mess compared to it. GPT5 might not be the thing we are all assuming it would be.

God, I remember a month or two ago when Google released its first music synthesizer that was making distorted songs with barely recognizable lyrics. yet it was a song nonetheless. I was so excited and told myself this thing would probably b

Why a pin? Make it a headband or a circlet. Go all in on the scifi-fantasy aspects. A circlet can be secure in place, has more space for power and computation, and most importantly, fashionably acceptable if done and promoted properly. Not

I know nothing about economics so please enlighten me: with the yen weakening, does it affect inflation in japan? Say 10 years ago I can have 1 nigiri for 100 yen, which was about $1 back then, does that mean I can have 1.5 nigiri now or in

Look to me a significant amount of engineering went into making sure the chip can withstand the amount of power it is drawing. Basically a desperate move by Intel to keep their outdated design from being completely smoked by AMD.

Nothing is absolute in biology. Your edge case can happen, but the chance it happens is so low that it might as well be your body naturally created the tumor in the first place. As someone who handle cells on a daily basis, I can confidentl

Anti-discrimination used to stand for something we needed, that is to stop discrimination and ensure people has equal access. But when that is achieved, like all those with power, these DEI folks instead push the goals forward and make up n

Depend on how you define "progressive". But it does say something about how the world function. Imo, CA is more interested in appearing to be progressive than actually being progressive, i.e. making laws that treat the symptoms in

I look at this from another perspective. While you interpet "personal freedom" as a good thing, I see it as an indicator of weakness. Alone personal freedom isn't bad. But when used as resistance against the public good and o

Clickbait trash. Here is the entire article: Enable verbatim search. Which doesn't mean much recently anyway. At least in my experience, Google is still shit no matter which method I tried.

To train AI, you want contents that are human generated. So since Google is interested in the AI race now, filtering out AI contents is high on its list of priority. We are lucky it "trickles down" into us in this form. Otherwise,

After reading this thing, first thing I did was laugh. Second thing I did was thinking maybe they wanted me to laugh. Third thing I did was laugh at myself for being such a paranoid idiot. Entertaining article overall.

One of the most beautiful parts of Japan is the mix between the old and the new. Japan maintained not just the physical parts of its root (buildings, objects, etc.) but also the human traditions and culture and social aspects. It also prese

It means the publisher no longer host/publish the papers. This can be done at the request of the author or by the publisher in the case of a controversy. In this case, it seems there is no particular issues with the content of the pape
