You mean I can't take the Nobel Peace Prize by force? Can't be true, I'm the most peaceful guy the world has ever seen.

Ok, why would you want plastic to decompose in 2 months? What about shelf life? Will I need to worry about my packaging decomposing?

I don't get why they'd destroy the PPE if it exists and it's up to standard? Even governments can resell these products?

What exactly is this "MagNex" product and why is it worth an (long and mostly irrelevant to the point) article?

That's a funny way to read the article. What it really says is that VW saw a big market in China, which is now dominated by local companies, so they're not gonna overproduce cars by building another factory. Also the free money ri

I'm not a programmer, and when I write a program it's imperative that it's structured right and works predictably, because I have to answer for the numbers it produces. So LLMs have basically no use for me on that front. I do

Doing a meta-analysis on something easily quantifiable is sketchy enough, doing a meta-analysis on something as vague and hard to measure as "cognitive intelligence" is.. well, it's sociology's territory. Not to say it i

What dose of any substance is harmful instead of harmless? Is this a philosophical question or a practical one? If it's a practical one, we don't know, because if there are any effects they're too weak to infer with certainty

That's because these are generally valid arguments. The phrase "the dose makes the poison" did not just occur in someone's head for no reason. There's a couple things to note about "forever chemicals": The

Concrete is 15% cement and 85% stone. Just crushed, homogenous, predictable and structurally sound stone. You can't reinforce stone like you can reinforce concrete, and you can't pour stone. Stone will not replace concrete. As

And/or this is #145 on their to-do list, so after a good 15 months of postponing it, an overworked IT council guy told his supervisor "if you want X implemented without overhauling system Y just get rid of apostrophes" so thi

Besides, when you're just looking for a prime, you can spot things that look like a prime and test them deterministically.

Yes, yes, and also you'll likely be paying for it. 1kW*0.25$/kWh=185$/month

Huh, I thought this couldn't be true, but it is. The first time I noticed annoyingly fast cuts was World War Z, for me it was unwatchable with tons of shots around 1 second each.

When everyone holds the data you don't have an edge. They had dedicated users who kept generating new and relevant "content" for a for-profit company with an implied agreement to keep it accessible and discoverable, but they

The reason Reddit can't really do this (and they tried) is because people notice and react. If they turn reddit into Facebook they'll lose their "clients", particularly the "productive" ones. I'm not going

It's not just that. I'm pretty sure your stomach and gut also provide information regarding caloric intake, on top of other sensors detecting the raise in blood sugars/lipids/aminoacids. And even if it didn't, you&#

Is there anything more uncivil than the complete disregard for human life?

That might have been the worst thing I've read on the internet all year. Would you embrace your "dignified" death at 70 when your pension runs out and you have no food, clothes, home or medical help? Or heating? Is this reall

There are many things to dislike about a soviet republic, but lack of democratic representation isn't one of them. I wish we could recall MPs via a vote like they could.

One more thing that's said I'd like to underline because it's often overlooked but has tremendous importance is the identity "ownership". If individuals and companies could easily prove who they are (to build trust)

This is not about improving your experience. This is about getting end users to behave a certain way. If you have a gambling or trading app, you could automatically adjust the UI based on your end users psychological/behavioral profile

Using Google as an arbitrator of truth? What could go wrong? The core concept of breaking down statements to check for factuality is otherwise sound.

Yep, and it's disconcerting how much trust people put into this system. I've got a masters in engineering and some random guy would try to argue with me about something as simple as calculating energy consumption from wattage beca
