Would the business apply the proposed 2% APR on the time it takes any refunds to arrive in the spirit of being fair?

I only wish there were more pieces involving one of my favorite villains; Feathers McGraw.

"We therefore hypothesized that AI’s throughput advantage allows it to pack conversations with more fact-checkable claims than human persuaders can, and that this is what drives its persuasive edge.

This “fact-density” account predicts that (i) constraining AI should selectively reduce persuadees’ perception of AI’s informational contribution to the conversation rather than non-informational features such as empathy or enjoyment, and (ii) fact density should predict persuasive impact across human and AI conditions alike."

Where are the startups building AI agents supporting judicial infrastructure?

One way would be to think of your game idea like a Cause that you believe in and want others to support. How would you promote and disseminate that to find fellow believers?

Talk about it and show what you're building. Those most engaged will be your short list to spend more time with and "date" to become a co-founder.

It's probably worth the effort to have a good idea around what the project needs in a cofounder too.

Have fun building!

It's all quite disturbing once you look beyond the headlines. The more awareness, the better.

Yet another reason to eat this delicious condiment but more importantly;

Who knew there was a "World Institute of Kimchi"?

Lucky then that we're not eating their innards. Oh wait.

Nice find!

I can't fathom who would "invest" $14B into Boeing and what their investment thesis would be.

This was a highlight for me; "In a closer look at how the drug might help slow age-related brain decline, the researchers found that it activates cells that produce a protein called NRF2, which prior research has shown protects against cell damage during bouts of inflammation."

"Move Fast and Break People"?

Thanks for the cleaner links, @tpmx & @pitdicker

I'm surprised there hasn't been a rush to claim the rights to naming this basic taste something more "palatable" <ducks>

I know. It seems obvious yet it's still hard to wean most of us off them.

As I read this with a growing sense of discomfort; a little voice in my head kept saying "What could wrong, right?"

The understatement of their comment "There will be challenges." is great.

I like this idea if it could be a cheap form of Smart Chaff.

Electrons trapped on frozen solid neon could prove a simple yet powerful kind of qubit platform for use in future quantum computers.

Microsoft researchers say six Russian-aligned, state-sponsored hacking groups launched 237+ cyberattacks on Ukraine before the invasion. Over 40% of the attacks were aimed at organizations in critical infrastructure sectors.

@geigster describes this well;

"We're not trying to replace Slack for huge operations teams, we want highly mobile or highly personal teams to communicate and manage their work better."

nice concept but efficiency is the deal breaker here. One to keep an eye out for improvements.

"Whoever the president is, they have to have somebody they know and trust and somebody the administration trusts. That person is not going to be me."

Excruciating nested acronyms aside, it's like the underwater version of watching birds take flight in the forest to give away enemy locations.
