The article seems to suggest that low obesity rates are the result of a particular style in Food, compared with western foods. This is obviously not true. Mass obesity was something also not known in western countries before the 50s, so western food before that behaved similarly. If you are looking for the cause of mass obesity it can only be in the divergence that happened in the mean time.
Email definitely, just have to remember to fine tune so it says "sure, I'll get on that after lunch" rather than "as a language model…".

Voice calls, yes: I attended a talk last summer where someone did that with an AI trained on their own voice so they didn't have to waste time on whatsapp voice messages. The interlocutors not only didn't notice, they actively didn't believe it was AI when he told them (until he showed them the details).

Video… I don't think so? But that's due to latency and speed, and I'm basing my doubt on diffusion models which may be the wrong tool for the job.
I assume Thunderbird just lets you type whatever you want there, which I concede is nicer. But in a pinch Mail also does this.

Also, while open source alternatives are generally more flexible than what Apple offers, sometimes this is not the case. Believe me, I use both based on whichever one meets my needs :)
You put peanut butter in the fridge !?
My mom is from San Anton, and her family is from nowhere N TX.

Houston failed by allowing residential areas to be built in flood plains ("sacrifice zones") and near polluting petrochemical plants that blow up about once a year. And, it's regularly ravaged by hurricanes and just yesterday a derecho blew out skyscraper windows, collapsed a brick wall, and knocked out power for what maybe weeks. Not much of the HTX metro area can be called "a good place to live" with a straight face. Zoning rules should prevent people from living in dangerous areas, which HTX has clearly failed at.
UK here. Yes, our peanut butter is typically solid and has similar consistency even after a couple months in the larder (never even thought about using the fridge).

Tahini on the other hand separates very quickly into oil+solid so perhaps could also do with a spinner
cheap as chips!

Cheaper than the cost of all the crime they conmmit and the cost of being sent to prison.

£599.00 = about £50 a week. absolute peanuts. 2 grams of meth each week right there.

Thats cost of about one week in prison here on Airstrip One

Interesting that Fritz already debunked the myth of panic during WWII, while rather recently, during the last pandemic, governments delayed correctly informing of the crowd, due to that myth.

False equivalency. Humans have consciousness, an LLM does not. An LLM is nothing like a human mind, it’s a stochastic parrot. Art, by definition, is made by a human.

There's several assumptions you're making. First, that sufficient pressure will be built up into stopping AI before drastic harms occur instead of after, at which point stopping the math will be exactly the same as was stopping cryptography.

And that should there be no obvious short term harms to a technology, there can be no long term harms. I don't think it's self evident that all the harms would've already occurred. Surely humanity has not yet reached every type and degree of integration with current technology possible.
I get these big 1kg tubs of the pure peanut butter on Amazon, the advantage is they’re perfectly cylindrical, so it’s easy to just give a good mix with a butter knife before spreading
The tides have been shifting on that. I see more and more Macs at work with each passing year. There used to be a widely held belief that real work required a Windows PC, but that belief has been shattered. I've had several co-workers move to a Mac after the PC was causing them to not get work done (to be fair a lot of this has to do with how much stuff corporate IT installs on the system to lock it down and monitor it and they are adding more and more of that to the Macs as the install base grows within the company).
I am not too knowledgeable about black hole physics, but it was my understanding that there's nothing locally interesting about event horizon: it's just the point of no return that doesn't change much for the local observer. Your definition of the event horizon make it sound more locally important.

In fact, I know that as a local observer falling into a black hole you can still see some of the outside world after falling into the event horizon (by looking "behind you"), you just can't send anything back. This also seem to contradict the statement that all paths point inside (or I may misunderstanding something).

Edit again: I did some research and it looks like that while parent's comment may be true for simplified model of a black hole, it is conjured to be possible for rotating black holes where you can stay inside. Also Google "penrose diagram kerr black hole" for some weird physic if you want to follow this rabbit hole. Keep in mind that I'm not a physicist and this is my understanding after 40 minutes of watching YouTube and Wikipedia.
Honest answer from a parent: Because smartphones today are content consumption machines closer to a TV with infinite channels, not like the computer you used in your youth to learn how to do things.

Nice effort and for a second I thought you had fixed a problem I had, that most cinemas in my hometown have their own shitty sites and hence their screening times can not be discovered through Google, but turns out despite your bold claim this is not the case. Unfortunately there is no mention of any of the admittedly small cinemas in Tübingen. Your idea is still brilliant and I would very much appreciate if it worked as intended
It is a nice monitor... but I would certainly hope so for what it costs. $1600+ for a non-HDR LCD monitor is pretty eye-watering when OLED monitors are arriving at <$1200 now. If you need Retina then you don't have much of a choice though, I know.
Yeah, they probably should've stopped mid sentence where you can argue "I just want to watch pornography".

It's a bit weird how much scrutiny there is over obscuring the transaction history for cyrpto. Like you money launder via houses you get a slap on the wrist first [1] but if you aren't actually directly involved in the transactions you get 5 years. The guy's not running a server; he published a contract that other people's computers are paid (by also other people) to run. Afaik, there wasn't even an allegation that he profited per transaction.

240Hz has issues too though, it means that there's on average 1.66 physics ticks per screen refresh on a 144Hz screen. In practice that means that an object moving at, say, 0.1 meter per tick will have moved 0.1 meters in some frames and 0.2 meters in other frames, which leads to choppy animation. That's why I mentioned tick rates in the kilohertz; sometimes having 10 ticks between frames and sometimes 11 ticks isn't a big deal, but sometimes having 2 and sometimes 1 is noticeable (and obviously if some frames have 1 tick and some have 0 ticks between them, that's a disaster (unless you do interpolation which is a different can of worms)).

Now running physics at 240Hz or even 120Hz might still be the right choice for your game, especially when taking into account human factors and time constraints, it's just not a panacea

I've been buying 100% peanut butter for years, never stored it in a fridge and never had it go bad. Maybe your room temperature is higher? It's strange as with a single ingredient product I would expect we would have the same results...

We've had the "Mechanical Turk" version of AI-generated content for two decades; the pay-by-the-word "content farmers" and the spammy sites that use their output.

The main difference between that and "AI" is that we're getting the "AI" promoted as the search results, as opposed to diluting the usefulness of the links.
I don't want an AI browser, per se. I want an AI agent that slips into every pane of glass the platform companies own (Chrome, iOS, Windows) and works for me against the advertisers and attention stealers.

I want an advocate that detects and nukes advertisements. That filters clickbait and rage content. Something easy enough that everyone can install, so we can all be collectively free of this nonsense no matter what tech stack we use.

Imagine if AI became the ultimate anti-advertising, attention-preserving, sanity-defending weapon.

"No Google, you're not allowed to advertise to my person." Or, "these comments are toxic drama, so let's not expose our human to them."

This would be a great new technological era.

If I recall correctly, a "railgun" per se is one that uses the projectile to conduct electricity between the "rails" that direct said projectile. So there's contact, between parts moving hypersonically relative to each other.
That was compelling, albeit for reasons I can't seem to elucidate, kind of like Knausgaard, right down to the mystifying self-presentation as a sort of loser who nonetheless has many friends and lovers (though maybe everybody, if they were to give similarly complete and honest accounts of their lives, would come off as sort of losers, too).
Why do you think so? How would you promote this kind of projects?
With 82% market share and 8.5B searches/day, I suppose this depends on how you define Goole Search being 'dead.'
It's still a pre-war era for the Netherlands.
Issue is not AI generated content getting patent, but AI being the named inventor. Which to me is reasonable as no AI has personhood. Using AI to generate patent is likely fine as long as that patent fills all other criteria.

That’s probably because your peanut butter isn’t just peanuts. If you’re buying Skippy or whatever the additives give it a stable textur. But if you buy pure (aka “natural”) peanut butter you’ll see separation, just like any other nut butter, including tahini
What a strange article, but I guess that's to be expected given that the two participants are both female. Not to dismiss the point that improved, pain-free and easy contraception for women would be of huge benefit, of course I'm fully in support of that.

But there seems to be very little or no mention of the benefits sexual freedom for men - the ability to say "I don't want to be a father, I don't want to risk being on the hook for child support right now" without the risk of failure associated with condoms, or invasive surgery, or abstaining from sexual intimacy completely. Women at least have that choice via the contraceptive pill, and here we are talking about men _potentially_ having chemical choices along the same lines "within the next two decades". The conversation has to be turned around once again in favour of women, rather than discuss the potential benefits of men being able to take easy, non-surgical, reversible contraception for not only their own sexual freedom, and mental well being, but the benefits of introducing less unwanted children into the world as well.

It really appears that to some sectors of society, the thought of levelling the playing field in terms of contraception for men really seems like anathema.
> Also, one of the more interesting things to me is that ytterbium, for example, has a half-life which is measured in days.

"Consent isn't legally required"?

I don't understand this point. If Google gave the data to OpenAI (which they surely haven't, right?), even then they'd not have consent from users.

As far as I understand it, it's not a given that there is no copyright infringement here. I don't think even criminal copyright infringement is off the table here, because it's clear it's for profit, it's clear it's wilful under 17 U.S.C. 506(a).

And once you consider the difficult potential position here -- that the liabilities from Sora might be worse than the liabilities from ChatGPT -- there's all sorts of potential for bad behaviour at a corporate level, from misrepresentations regarding business commitments to misrepresentations on a legal level.

TFA:

> Ukraine was already at war for two years and battle-hardened. So anything that was simple to break was already broken by the Russians. Then after two years, the Russians managed to break Kyivstar, one of the biggest telecommunications companies of Ukraine, This was a very destructive attack. But the Ukrainians (in and outside Kyivstar) are good enough that in two days they were back up and running, because these people were prepared for chaos. They knew how to restore their systems from scratch. If we get an attack like this on VodafoneZiggo or on Odido, and they don’t get external help, they will be down for half a year, because they don’t know anything about their own systems.
I think number 3 is the way to go. Maybe it just takes time.

Thanks for your comment!
You can declare generic structs and generic functions, and get monomorphized copies (not erased to "any") of each function for all concrete types used. You can't look them up by reflection. You can't declare generic methods, and still can't overload methods by type.
Honestly I don't know if whistleblower protections are really worth a damn -- I could be wrong.

But would they not only protect the individual formally blowing the whistle (meeting the standard in the relevant law)?

These non-disparagement clauses would have the effect of laying the groundwork for a whistleblowing effort to fall flat, because nobody else will want to corroborate, when the role of journalism in whistleblowing cases is absolutely crucial.

No sensible mature company needs a lifetime non-disparagement clause -- especially not one that claims to have an ethical focus. It's clearly Omerta.

Whoever downvoted this: seriously. I really don't care but you need to explain to people why lifetime non-disparagement clauses are not about maintaining silence. What's the ethical application for them?
The 5 year chip I get. That's like a trophy for accomplishing something and a reminder of how far you've come. Money is just money, it get's spent and it's gone. The article also mentions it coming as a lump sum. I'd be really worried that someone could clean up, get a pile of money dropped in their lap, and head out on a bender.

If it's more about the external token item... then why not use a token, like AA? It would make the program dramatically cheaper to run.
Usage = can grow revenue faster with greater upside potential … but at the risk of no predictable revenue.

SaaS = more secure reoccurring revenue. Slow revenue growth. But highly predictable.
Usage-based pricing works great for core infrastructure type-stuff (think AWS, sendgrid, twilio), where the growth of your customers business inevitably means their spend with your business will also grow. Great incentive alignment for both parties.

Subscription pricing works best for end-user tools that help a certain function do their job better (ongoing). Why? If your target customer has to ask their boss for more budget every time they want to use your product — your business is dead in the water.

We played to play campus-wide capture the flag at the camp I went to as a kid a couple times and I will never forget the experience. The camp spanned an enormous area with all kinds of varied terrain and we had ~170 campers and counsellors playing. I vividly remember patrolling in an out-of-the-way part of our area by myself amongst the rhododendrons and detecting some movement; a counsellor from the other team was hiding amongst leaves. A frenzy chase ensued.

One twist to this game on the enormous area was that neither team knew where either flag was, so you had to send groups to scout your own side to figure out where your flag was. I get why the person who posted this article chose not to have jail, but the jail was another fun dynamic. It gave the opportunity to break people out of jail, which was another goal besides the flag.

The author is completely correct that these are lifelong memories.

I'm not sure 'tech' is similar enough then and now.

The main concern I have relates to professions made around optimizing engagement. Full-on studies leading to behavioral adjustment things.

The most immediate example I have: "infinite scrolling" to keep you lost in the feed.

The early internet was finite by comparison. There were some nuggets, but mostly trash. This encouraged creation or simply walking away when you've seen enough. This has flipped.

There was a bit of effort to pump the IV, not a constant drip. Heck, remember link sites? Many people created their first internet contribution by simply listing things they thought were neat.

The link sites had the unintended effect of making the pile to search through bigger, too. There was a certain nature to it that encouraged limitation where we do the exact opposite now.

All that to say - I think your difficulties are warranted. Focusing on the service may be a mistake.

Exposure comes, having guidance helps of course
