There's an argument that this should be done with domain names as well. Right now, anyone can buy an expired domain, set up a wildcard email address, and read any email that's still being sent to addresses in that domain.

Conversely, if you take the advice of some to set up a personal domain for your email, you are basically committing to a lifetime obligation. If you later change your mind and let that domain expire, any future owners of that domain will receive any email that was sent to your old addresses.

I think you have a bad media diet if you think any of those are actual problems in the real world and not just straw men made by provocateurs stirring the pot.

Honestly though, I would prefer an AI that was strictly neutral about anything other than purely factual information. That isn't really possible with the tech we have now though. I think we need to loudly change the public perception of what chatGPT and similar actually are. They are fancy programs that create convincing hallucinations, directed by your input. We need to think of it as a brainstorming tool, not a knowledge engine.

Yes, but there's a critical difference. When humans hallucinate, it's normally because they misremember something: did you know, for instance, that our brains have to piece every memory together from scratch every time we recall something? It would be a miracle if humans did NOT hallucinate.

In other words, the human has a concept of truth or facts and simply had a memory lapse. This thing has no concept of truth at all.

Lots of good advice here already, but I'll add one I haven't seen yet: set a good example of regularly exercising at home if possible. My boys are around 8 and 10 now and after seeing me consistently train over the years, they are both showing interest in going for runs with me, doing bodyweight exercises, and they keep asking me about "trying the weights" (which I'm avoiding for now until I've had more time to research the old advice that they need to wait until teen years). This might be a bit of a balancing act to make sure they don't end up overly obsessed with body image, fad diets, etc but as others have said, your kids will often mirror the behaviors they see... so remember to go easy on yourself too :)

If I am the bad guy for expecting people to be lying on the streets in extremely poor physical and mental condition completely drugged out of my mind then I’m okay with that.

> My favorite version of this is Simulation Theory, aka creationism with extra steps.

Might be a builtin fault in the human brain?

The average human looks around in wonder at the world, and thinks "someone or something created it!"[1]. Whether they think that the creator matches their definition of a god or their definition of an engineer is an unimportant detail.

[1] As an atheist, I used to be routinely presented with this argument, viz "Look at the irreducible complexity in the human eye/human brain/$whatever. Can you truly say that such complexity was arrived at by randomness?". Sometimes, I'd even agree with the argument that the argument that the existence of complexity is evidence of a creator of that complexity. Then I'd point out that this creator itself is complex, and hence had to have, itself, a creator...

Sounds like a dean has their work cut out for them. Sorry, the professor is going to have to provide better evidence than "I asked ChatGTP if it wrote this paper."
That's not a direct quote from an FBI spokesperson and instead just part of the subtitle of this article. I personally wouldn't read that it's "private, and not necessarily anonymous" as it seems likely that the author didn't distinguish so strongly between these things.

To the point of anonymous cash transactions, I strongly suspect there are ways to acquire cash in a way that the bills which are used in a given transaction aren't necessarily traceable to the individual who made the transaction. I've heard mention of such tactics but never tried to put them into practice because I don't care enough (in most cases) to make it more than theory.
Read to them when they're young as often as you can. It's a great bonding experience, they love it, and its very helpful to their development. Be there and show you support them and care about them. This goes for all the things they're involved with (school, sports, organizations, activities, etc). Let them be silly and you be silly with them. Find some activities that you both enjoy and do them together. Make time for them regularly. Frequently tell them that you love them.

It's funny how this is a weird or foreign idea to so many. I teach in IT, so I'm soaked in all the "entrepeneurship" stuff; but somewhere else here had it right. One way to think of a business is that it's simply a machine to solve a problem. It doesn't have to be a self-sustaining money maker.

I'd go so far as to argue that generally, the former is probably better for the world.

Anecdotally, this 100% describes why I started a business. Like many people, I fantasized about the idea of "having a business" but didn't do anything at all serious toward that. For me, it wasn't until an opportunity arose that had not much to do with "making money" per se. Specifically, I'm close to people who tried to start a Black news channel, and the website was trash; I knew I could to a LOT better, and I thought the whole idea was good. The channel didn't work out, everyone had other jobs, and so I don't have much of a business anymore AND THATS FINE.

Yes, and when you complete all three movie multiballs, you can then destroy the ring, which requires that you hit the ring to start the mode, make four shots and then get a perfect ring shot (which is way harder than just hitting the ring) to destroy the ring.

By this reasoning a 21-year old also cannot consent to sex with another 21-year old, or indeed, can consent to anything else. You're correct that human brains aren't fully developed until the age of 25 or so, but that doesn't mean humans are blubbering morons who can't consent to anything before that age.

Also it's not at all established that anything actually happened with Minsky; from the testimony it's only clear that she "was directed" to have sex with Minsky, but not that any sexual activity took place. Given that she was clear about this in other cases, it seems that nothing happened.

> Typical Trip: For my fall semester, my first class is 10am on M/W, and 8am on F. For my 10am class, I would usually wake up 340am and take the 6am LAX-SFO Alaska flight, have breakfast in the SFO lounge, then ride BART to campus. For the 8am class, I would always wake up 330am and take the 530am LAX-OAK Southwest flight, since that's the only flight to get me to campus by 8am.

The meat of it - get classes such that you can use a commuter flight to commute.
Can someone provide more context? The United States already produces a lot of electricity so the “new” electricity is likely a small fraction of the existing amount. That’s why it’s always the feel good headline of “new electricity”

Just a reminder that "70% higher risk" is a relative value describing the _fractional_ increase in risk. In absolute terms, the probability of developing Parkinson's (prevalence) was 0.33% in group exposed to TCE and 0.21% in the non-exposed group. So you might also say TCE increases the risk of Parkinson by 0.12 percentage points.

Most blockchains by very far are using a public ledger and zero ZK crypto.

Edit: I'm embarrassed to say that I did not watch the video. It's much worse than the description implies. The pedestrian was in the crosswalk, and crossing. FSD absolutely should have stopped.

However, as the article points out, "California law requires drivers to come to a complete stop for pedestrians at crosswalks".

I see this as a failure of the FSD development process, not of FSD. Tesla's software devs simply aren't familiar with driving laws. They may not even be drivers - it's not a requirement.

You'd expect Tesla to simply teach the algorithm to follow driving laws, but they haven't done that.

So far it it reminds of the worst days of code embedded in templates. Once these things start getting into multipage prompts they will be hopelessly obscure.

I noticed EV drivers are much more willing to break and wait for people crossing.

"Destruction of property" is a law on the books in some form in pretty much every jurisdiction[1].

When you sell a printer to someone, it's no longer your property, it's their property, and if you destroy it, that's destruction of property.

Arguably there's also some cyber crimes involved here as well.

If I hacked into your printer and bricked it, I'd go to jail, no question. Why is HP above the law in your mind, when they did it on a much larger scale?

Love Medieval Madness. Great, great machine.

One of my favorites as far as merging of the form and the story is Black Knight (and Black Knight 2000). The machine itself is framed as your knightly opponent in this apparent duel (it even taunts you, LOL), and the table layout is such that you can be on offense—ball in the physically-elevated high part of the field, with scoring and mode-progress opportunities and basically no risk of losing the ball as long as you keep it up there—or defense, in the lower part of the field, where it's quite easy to lose a ball, and play's alarmingly fast & reactive, but there are also some good bonus chances or ways to set up your next play in the top field.

And that theme song on Black Knight 2000. Oh man. So good.

[EDIT] Oh and I forgot that the "knight" taunts you during that awesome song with "give me your money!" (among other taunts), which is another machine -> character connection. You are dueling the machine. It's basically a perfect fusion of story/motif and the form of the game.
That's interesting!

> transmission losses are significant over inter-regional distances

Not necessarily: (ultra) high-voltage DC transmission lines have losses in the low single digit percentage per 1000km (~600mi).

This is not just theoretical either - for example, there is a transmission line over 3200km/2000mi with 12GW capacity in China for example (not under construction either but completed).

Do you have an opinion on GLP1 agonists? It would seem they can pre-empt the metabolic problems that drive CVD.

A lot of GPs I’ve talked to are negative on them as they are expensive and they seem to have the mindset “you should just eat better”. But we know that dietary interventions fail like 97% of the time because long term adherence is almost impossible.
Did you not read they also talked about tests?

If you want to control the circumstances, you do a test. If you care about the output, you do an assignment.

We had this problem for years already with calculators, this is no different.

And in your case of lifting weights: the test is to lift or do x pullups. The military has been doing those TESTS for years. Or do you think they should give assignments instead?
The benchmark for this situation shouldn’t be “it was as safe/safer than a human” when we have to append “while clearly breaking the law”.
To me the "I suspect" gives it away as something human-written.
The lovely thing about LLMs is that it can handle poorly worded prompts and well worded prompts. On the engineering side, we'll certainly see more rigor and best practices. For your average user? They can keep throwing whatever they like at it.
I have few PB traffic of videos served from R2... that's fine. They just don't want to compete with they own solution.
Sony, unfortunately, has no partnerships with any carriers, no place to go to repair a phone, no marketing on the US, all making it nearly impossible to sell any phones. Their pricing strategy is quite bizarre as well.

Samsung is the dominant Android player, for a variety of reasons. Pixel and OnePlus (and Samsung and Apple) make a lot of extra money by charging $100/$200 to boost from 128gb to 256 or 512 but that strategy doesn't differentiate them and definitely doesn't make Samsung loyalists switch.

You cannot state that adding an SD slot wouldn't improve market share, because there are no premium competitors who do, the hypothesis is untested.
If the solution to a problem is obvious and agreed upon by everyone, you don't need political mechanisms to make a decision.
