- montjoyI wish Apple would let you load different “dictionaries” for technical specialties so it wouldn’t try to autocorrect everything. For example, “IT”, “Automobile”, “Medical”, etc.
- I understand it’s “damaging”, but how stable is it? CO2 is bad because it doesn’t just go away. Methane, while being more “damaging”, eventually breaks down into CO2 and water.
- I’ve only used the version that comes with Office 365, but oh boy is it terrible.
- Yes I’m wondering the same. I guess the news here is that google is finally getting the edge over OpenAI when they should have had the lead all along.
- Funny that no one’s mentioning the air cooled VW boxer engine which had variants manufactured for 70 years.
- The Trump admin. continues the classic bully move, “Find the weak and pick on them, so that others are too afraid to act against them”. Fuck you Trump these are my neighbors and they’re good people.
- You need to think about the aggregate data. Whole trends can be seen in almost real-time.
Here’s a made up example, and it’s probably not even the best one. - Show Teckno-Detectives shows a “Cameo” of Grapple’s newest mixed-reality glasses. The data shows that 3.9 million additional people watched the episode. Investment firms who pay for the data notice and buy extra Grapple shares to cash in on the expected sales bump.
- Some, yes. If you’re genuinely curious I’d invite you to read project blue book or read through nuforc reports.
But I get it. If I hadn’t heard some things first hand from credible witnesses I’d be more skeptical too.
- There are probably 1000s of reports of from people across the globe that are seeing very similar things that remain unexplained. If the evidence went to a courtroom, I think certain UAP “cases” would pass have a positive “verdict” based on overwhelming circumstantial evidence. However, science has a higher bar (as it should) so when we ask our experts what’s happening they have to say “no evidence” or else lose their credibility.
- It seems like anything that has a hint of legitimizing UAP in any way will promptly be dismissed by the establishment within a day of making headlines. It’s curious that our culture is willing to use any other explanation at all, no matter how tenuous, other than non-human intelligence as at least a possibility for an event.
- Peep (The Network Auralizer).
> replaces visual monitoring with a sonic `ecology' of natural sounds, where each kind of sound represents a specific kind of network event.
https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa-2000/peep-network-aur...
The concept is that we are wired to notice sounds that are out of the ordinary, but “ordinary” sounds are not distracting.
I had forgotten about this project for a number of years until I read Peter Watts’s Blindsight.
- Which statistics? Are you talking about statistics linking poverty to crime? Or lead ingestion leading to aggressiveness? Or are you just being subtly racist?
- Crime statistics are heavily influenced by poverty and environmental conditions. The average man, however, is always stronger than the average woman.
I invite you to ask 5 female friends how safe they feel meeting a random male and asking for help where they will be forced to share a confined space.
- This move is so counter-intuitive to me. You prefer tents? You want people to have less security? You’d rather people stored their stuff in a cart that they have to push around everywhere?
You can’t abolish poverty but you can sure make it worse.
- This. Also, maybe setting legal precedent?
- > It's no different than white people not wanting black drivers, and Uber supporting that.
This is a false analogy. Men tend to be 40% to 60% stronger than women and testosterone is well linked with aggressiveness.
A better comparison might be people not wanting civilized chimpanzees for drivers.
If my daughter or wife wants a female driver I am 100% ok with that.
- Also, when testing for pregnancy you want to be as “sure” as possible and price is assumed to be an indicator of quality.
- That’s an op-ed btw.

So not necessarily reflective of The Economist’s position.
- Cheer up! If the universe is really inside a black hole from a parent universe eventually it may evaporate via hawking radiation if the same laws of physics hold. :) Maybe heat death is just the flip side of Hawking radiation?
- I used to feel this way too. It’s not really nothing if that helps. It still has 3 dimensions. Light and gravity pass through it. It has “vacuum energy” and virtual particles. There are still atoms, albeit further apart.
