Not sure how the govt plans to retain talent when said talent can go to the US and get easily paid double or triple the salary.

I loved these comics. I related to a lot of them. My favorite was the comic about sorting Skittles by color. I think you can still find the comics on the internet archive. Anyone have insight to what happened to the author?

I'm not understanding why these are federal charges. I thought selectively breeding animals and crops for desirable features is common place. For example: pugs can't reproduce naturally because people selectively bred them. Small dogs also don't occur anywhere naturally, they're human engineered animals.

There's still lead pipes for drinking water in the USA. [1]

It might be cheaper for you to call an API to run the inference instead of renting a machine. GPT-4-Turbo goes for $0.01 on 1k input and $0.03 for 1k output on Azure. A x2gd.2xlarg instance on AWS has 8vCPU and 128GB of memory. It goes for ~200$ per month.

What's the competitive advantage compared to DDG? Why will this continue existing?

How do you train these? Or is it only for already trained models?

What I didn't see mentioned in this article is what "harm" means in this context. My pessimistic view is that the govt will define harm as they see fit.

I'd like to see <super-long-context> vs <mediocre-context-but-really-good-at-summarizing>, then it is fed parts of a super long context in chunks. On each iteration, you add the previous summary.

I have some feedback: please reduce the volume.

I have done the same thing with YT. Notice my first post on HN is adding this website to my hosts files because I found it too addicting. As of date, I have unblocked YT but kept almost all of the social media sites. I watch Twitch for background noise nowadays. I find it to be less addictive since it feels more ephemeral to me.

Other peoples opinion of you is tied to your income, so I don't think there'll be a shift in this aspect of life.

I predict the word "disrupt" will see an exponential curve [1].

> The money has to come out of the system somewhere.

Governments have the ability to print money out of thin air.

What I'd like to see is how UBI impacts inflation and economic growth.

Welp, goodbye internet, it was fun to know you.

I find the phenomena of viral news interesting. I assume most people in the USA don't want to think about the engineering of planes. In Canada, as of this writing, car theft news has become viral, but car theft is not new or unusual.

My question is: do all social beings have attention surges? Are attention surges required to be social? Flocks of birds and schools of fish all react in unison to input from a few I suppose.

What material would this have to be made of to not melt?

Edit: I'm not that familiar with radiation and its parameters/properties. My assumption was that it would accumulate heat. I'll go look up if radiation is a function of heat, then I suppose it could become stable at some temperature. It's surprising to me that you can block out some of the sun from a good area on the earth and not have melting bits.

Grew up in the east coast of Canada where we have frigid winters. There's popular knowledge there that water will seep unevenly under the road, freeze, and lift parts of the road up. This causes the road to crack. Given snowplows scrape the roads, and cars still drive during winter, the lifted pavement gets damaged. This eventually results in potholes.

Pavers don't work because the city needs to remove the snow, and the pavers would get removed by the plows. I don't know of a viable road alternative that is also economical for places with snow.

I bought one of these for a mathematician I know. He immediately weaved some water in it and said: "look, there's water outside the bottle".

When I bought it some months ago, it came with a fun note, some hand written comments, and a sticker.

Breach is not the word I would use here.

What's an enforcement mechanism that works for this? My concern is that teenagers are going to learn yet another way to be dishonest.

Could be that what we experience as the universe is only a minor fraction of what exists. I define life as "processing information", so AI by definition is a life form given this definition.

What kind of wattage is expected for this? And how is heat management done?

I'm not able to get past the captcha for these archive links. I am using Firefox. Anyone else?

And why should I trust Meta to do this honestly?

Doesn't Meta send the data do US intelligence agencies already? I thought this was revealed to journalists by Snowden.

I hear some farmers pump water into chickens to increase the weight so it sells for more. I also hear the same thing about bean moisture content since it's sold by weight (I think the Smarter Every Day has a video about granaries that shows this?).

Will this put pressure for farmed lobsters to be full of growth hormones?

This was done 10 years ago by the guy that runs the YT channel called Applied Science [1]. If my memory serves me well, he worked on R&D at Valve, but I could be wrong.

Like Peter Thiel once said in Zero to One, the point of a monopoly is monopoly profits.

Edit: Eating clean is associated with all cause mortality, not diet [1].
