Sounds like it could at least build cheaper MRIs.

To your point, I replaced MongoDB with postgresql and a naive wrapper to still use JSON docs the same, and to my surprise my services got way faster and more stable. I write about it here: https://blog.stuartspence.ca/2023-0

I believe DNA doesn't last more than a couple million years. And that's under ideal conditions and it's already a stretch.

If you're concerned about open and free software I'm not sure using iOS makes a lot of sense. Of all mobile and desktop platforms, iOS has the highest barrier to entry for the free utilities you're hoping to find. Were you su

1992 my family just got a VCR but hardly had any tapes. For some reason my sister and brother were obsessed with Home Alone and as the youngest and a toddler, I played along with the excitement. My dad set up "some new movie" to p

I have a hobby project that turned into a fairly successful commercial project. I hardly use any IDE features. Sometimes, I write a new utility function like "get_abc_from_xyz_index" only to discover I already wrote it a year ago

Doing enough research to write this post tho is already more work than quickly calling a lawyer.

I hope you've spoken to a good lawyer briefly to understand the practical realism of your legal fears. Understanding the legal system involves far more than just literally reading text.

If you cannot harmlessly use it publicly then it never was a "nice thing we had".

Neat! Hope you're doing well. As I recall, that was a nicely run hackathon.

More like $400 a month the past couple months. Maybe that counts. www.chesscraft.ca I started this chess variant AI sandbox 5 years ago for myself to help with a brutal commute. Still working on it now and then. I've learned so much bu

"basically in the same category as us in terms of morality". Nah. I use intelligence as a proxy for capacity to suffer. So eating a monkey is worse than eating a cow, which is worse than eating a fish or chicken. Environmental imp

When TV was first introduced, the first broadcasts were people standing by a mic reading a radio script. AI podcasts aren't going to be drop in replacements for exactly the length, frequency, personalities, topics, and style of current

Some startup business models and development processes don't work well if they collect massive amounts of free ephemeral users instead of a dedicated base when starting out.

Have you completely misunderstood the concept here? This isn't some IP virus that infects anyone that touches it. J&J keeps the IP that it owns, in all cases, obviously. The bankrupt company must release the IP that the bankrupt co

It's not a question of how easy it is to automate it. It's about how frequent and costly the mistakes are. Lawyer AI is a high bar - plus the people watching you are human lawyers, exactly the kind of people who can make your mist

I'd love to see a source but I'm pretty sure the energy, time, and money that has gone into compute infrastructure is far greater than our space programs.

You wouldn't enjoy it if your commute was 3 hours total a day, or nobody you work with is also in the office (all meetings are remote) or if the lunch options were bad and overpriced, or you rent a bad apartment from a negligent landlo
