I feel like this has a much better chance to succeed than lab-grown meat for two reasons: 1. It's grown using bacteria, which are much faster to reproduce and cultivate than animal cells. 2. The intended products are a homogeneous mixt

From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like AI is very good at keeping track of events in a way that makes a logical narrative. I tried "The Hobbit" and it started with me having tea with Gandalf the wizard. There was a kn

I'm familiar with the idea of "brandishing" being illegal, but I looked it up anyway. I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menacing which says "Self-defense is often explicitly given as an exceptio

I know only an average amount about guns/gun laws (which is to say, not very much), but this seems pretty off to me. If someone is going to attack me with a knife, but then I draw a gun and they run away, surely that's not illegal

As a vegan, hard disagree. I prefer impossible because it tastes even more like meat. I love vegetables and grains too. Tofu and lentils etc. are delicious but sometimes I just want a burger.

I get that LLMs are a black box in ways that most other technologies aren't. It still feels to me like they have to be okay with abstracting out some of the details of how things work. Unless they have a lot of knowledge in electrical

As a non-scientist, I am not really any more qualified to give an opinion on this than any random person, but the fear around food dyes seems way overblown IMO. You can read the statement from the FDA where they banned red dye 3, it's

I have only vaguely heard of this substance so I may be missing some important context, but I don't think this attitude really holds up under scrutiny. There's plenty of research done on things which can't be patented or used

Thanks for the link. I get that copyright is a bit of a minefield, and there's some clear cases that should not be allowed, e.g. taking photos of a painting and selling them That said, I still get the impression that the laws are way t

Yeah that's fair, I'm trying to create an analogy to other services which are similar to help me understand. If e.g. Patreon hosts an artist who will draw a picture of Indiana Jones for me on commission, then my money is going to

I'm honestly trying to wrap my head around the law here because copyright is often very confusing. If I ask an artist to draw me a picture of Indiana Jones and they do it would that be copyright infringement? Even if it's just for

Yeah I don't really understand what the thesis of this article is. Copyright infringement would apply to any of those images just the same as if you made them yourself. I don't think it's possible to create an "alien whi

The problem is that when it's asleep a key press won't wake it up. Only pushing the power button or using wake-on-lan will. One thing I just thought to try is using an app on my phone to send the WOL packet.

IMO the best way is always to explain as much as you can while actually playing the game. Just accept that there's no way anybody is going to fully learn the game on their first try. Even in a simple game like Hearts there is enough st
