Introduced 12 years ago, is there is a technology limit or an interest limit?

Few days ago I saw an article passing by,about chips hiting the kw floor.

It's an interesting question. Maybe a parent that monopolize the conversation impact negatively.

As for your experience, keep in mind that with statistics comes distribution of outcomes, you could be on that small % where things didn't work as observed in the article.

I think comments here don't focus on the most important point of this study, and article:

- citation: But the findings don’t necessarily mean kids speak more because they hear more speech, he says: Instead, “Adults [might] talk back more to kids who produce more language.”

- article show no evidence of socio-economic difference contrary to what was claimed before

- article have a huge database over the world, which makes it a strong study.

- article is a baby step: the next step are to know if it's talking to the child or if it's talking beside the child, for example.

Yes, not all cucumber are in plastic for various reasons. If plastic could be avoided, producers would avoid it as it don't bring any advantage from a marketing pov (aka it's not sexy like a cereal box is).

Of course it's better this way. But I don't see it possible for everyone as it's not compatible with big cities.

You buy cucumber that might have left the crop since +20 days already.

The cucumber plastic is really helpfull to not loose too much cucumber, it prevent dehydratation, this way it can last almost a month. And losing cucumber mean you are wasting fuel on all the "processing" and transport.

That said, a change in the process is possible, which prove your point of "individual change is near-impossible and pointless".

It popped everywhere. I'm from europe, I was in Bolivia in october. Shein was the new trend. In Bolivia. In an open market of second hand.

My guess is tiktok is doing what it's made for, advertising and possibly putting China first to the mass of consumers.

Good thing is, maaybe, maybe, plastic merging to rock will decompose less into microplastic and will be bury into sediments layers, eventually showing again in millions years.

But we'll probably never know, as permafrost is melting under +5°C increase in Arctic regions. Which is a ticking bomb in term of co2 release.

Large plastic end up smaller and smaller over time. Also microplastic mostly come from clothes and tires.

In Bolivia, I was amused by the plastic bag they gave me for my meds that was advertising: "zero counterfait guaranteed".

At this moment I realized how far we went in wealthy countries, in my case Europe countries, in the regulation of drugs.

Could be spanish too :)

By the liberalism/capitalism definition: anyone can make its website, its app, its blog etc.

Which is the opposite of "we need an official social network" intervention

matress are around 40, maybe 50kg/m3.

water is 1kg/dm3, and acording to this website (https://www.aqua-calc.com/page/density-table/substance/human...) human is arround 1000kg/m3 which make sense.

So, yes matress is light compared to human, I guess it does nothing to the sensor pad.

I'm not an expert at all, but I think the "one model to rule them all" is an sf problem that no serious physicist really work on...because rules are models to describe the universe. Knowing a unique model that match exactly means we are able to know everything about the universe. But how one can know that there is no more phenomena to be discovered, and that all models match exactly ?

States like to control, internet state of mind is 100% liberal, and both live in a capitalist world. Internet won its freedom, but freedom did not overcome the greed from capitalism.

Good news is you can still go to mastodon, after all.

Remind me of an article about the opimization of matrix calculus with IA, that eventually shown better algorithm for specific size of matrix, than the one found decades ago and proven to be the best one.

Ho, that's really cool! Sounds a bit like digging your own grave as mathematician but it must be very challenging

Yes, there is a part that is under the skull, if I understand it correctly ("at the surface of the cortex"). It claims to be the first success in the world, so it is indeed impressive! https://youtu.be/6Ee3kZIW5fk

Recently, a Swiss-French team made the communication between the brain and the legs possible, and the device looked relatively mature. I think patient had nerves damaged in the vertebral column. What do you think about it ? Looked like a promising development.

it's certainly interesting. Imo music, and especially the rap by its generally large young audience and creativity is and have been a huge "influencer" of French.

I think the article fail a little bit to put in perspective other influences, and even more when the title say "Africans" when it focus on west and central Africa only. Africa is a continent that don't talk only French, North Africa is part of Africa too, and arabic countries do have an influence too. So, no more bad title please.

Also, it's interesting to think that initially, "True" French was imposed by the state, and by law, in France, that led to the end of local dialects. I just hope that it will not happen in reverse in some africans countries, as pointed out by the article...People should remain free of speech, in whatever languages they want to use.

And I bet an other Avatar movie with Apple money

I believe general purpose tool will atract people with general knowledge, so more people. Very specific dev will atract experts, so less people will engage to the work.

Yesterday I was wondering if it's possible to have an AI that can "recreate" the mathematics as we know it, and even go further and explore unexplored paths.

Though prduced by a video explaining how AI helped to find optimization in the computation of matrix multiplication.

There is zero knowledge in this article.

you do side projects! More seriously, I'm exactly in this situation and you'll have to find transversal skills, often soft skills when it' very different. And side projects, or courses.

And accept a junior position, even if you're a senior dentist.

Did a similar thing. I did a cubesat internship at some university (different from where I was), which played a role in getting a master and then an other internship at a lab working on a part of a scientific satellite to study Jupiter's moons (launched in 2023!).

And so on. It's crazy how pushing a series of little things can put you on the right path, especially early on life.

In France, they started planting trees along the road during Napoleon era, so the soldiers could walk at the shadow of the trees. Definitly smart, but also very old idea ahah

That said, with the car development, they cut most of the trees because well...a car hitting a tree is not good.

There are very small batteries that use the changes in its environments, but it use in general vibration, or light, or sugar (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_battery). But the power is very small, used for very low power devices. One could think to use the sun cycle (become a little bit warm, then a little bit colder during the night), but at this point solar panel do the trick.
