Smoke alarms don’t react with marijuana/cigarette smoke unless you deliberately blow the smoke into it. I don’t know why but I’ve smoked in my room countless times and it never went off. It’s not a faulty detector either because it has went off before!

Look at that, even I am stupid!

It’s understandable, there’s plenty of stupid people to offend!

Not illegal in the US!

But in 10 years the goalposts for what’s considered achieving parity will change, because China won’t be the only one making improvements in semiconductor manufacturing. The West will always have the upper hand so long as we don’t drop the ball completely.

To be honest I wouldn’t ride a scooter made by Boeing let alone a spaceship, they messed up too much too fast lately.

I’ve heard that some people with amalgam tooth filling can sometimes pick up transmissions and somehow audio would actually play inside their mouth, not static noise, actual voices talking. It’s quite bizarre but also makes total sense when you think about it!

No surprising at all. Their coffee is expensive (damn near $6 for decent size latte), and if you get something to eat as well you’ve already spent $10-12 pretty much first thing in the morning. Keeping up this habit is a struggle if you don’t have a lot of disposable income.

I bought one of them coffee pod machines and just started buying keurig pods instead. For the price of roughly 2.25 lattes, I can get 10 pods that last me an entire week. It’s easier, cheaper, cleaner, and quicker than going to Starbucks or where ever else. I still miss the very act of going to get coffee, but that’s not enough to justify the cost when I could spend the money on gas for instance.

Considering how important an Apple ID is, this is kind of scary to be honest.

He’s a business man, wtf does he know about AI safety on a technical level?

Altman advice: Yeah bro, just instruct tune harder and it’ll be just fine, I believe in you.

He owns 9% of the company.

You don’t even need to watch the review to deduce that the AI pin is an inherently flawed product for what it is trying to do; Which is to be the start of new a mobile computing paradigm. The problem with that plan is that we spent decades integrating cell phones into our lives, is there any real appetite to change that after putting in so much work?

Smartphones have become this immovable rock which our lives revolve around. I love that hu.ma.ne, the rabbit R1, or any other brand like them are trying to challenge the status quo, and I wish they can achieve some kind of success quickly; I say quickly because Apple will one day knock on the AI door, and when they do they will most likely slay the competition like they’ve done time and time again with Tablets, Watches, Wireless headphones, professional computing, smartphones, and the slew digital services that power them.

There should be a security code that’s only known to the owner, can’t swap it if you don’t have the code. Seems like a pretty simple and effective solution imo.

That strategy works for lazy publishers; with a bit editorializing and prompt refinement you can make a AI generated text indistinguishable from written text. Believe me it’s easier than it has any business being.

Oh, I see. Isn’t that more of an oxymoron though?

What is it contradicting?

I think the ship is starting to around as far as the quantity in the environment. I’ve read that chemists figured out a way to use to lye and a compound called dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO is FDA approved as a medicine, and apparently cheap to produce) to breakdown PFAS in a self sustaining reaction — that combined with new EPA concentration limits in drinking water, it could mean a significant reduction of the PFAS in circulation.

That is if water treatment plants actually go through the process of breaking down the PFAS they filter out of water instead of just dumping it somewhere and patting themselves on the back.

I am pretty sure leaded gasoline for use in cars was banned a while ago, at least in the United States. Now to be fair there are definitely people who still deal with the lingering effects, is that what you’re referring to?

Are these chemicals cumulative? Like do they stay inside your body forever, or is the name just referring to their stable chemical bond?

Driver was previously cited 5 times for speeding in a school zone but was allowed to keep his license? I’m always so nervous and hyperaware of my speed when I am driving in a school zone because you just never know what can happen. This was entirely preventable barring something outside the control of the driver that might’ve caused the crash.

Yeah Vietnam has a GDP of $408.8 Billion, a fraud of this magnitude is probably tantamount to treason.

I am not suggesting that we ban all chemicals not properly studied, but we can do a lot to at least get a sense of what X chemical may be capable of doing to us if ingested.

I don’t think it would’ve been incredibly difficult or burdensome to think that a chemical that can with stand 900+ degrees celsius won’t be metabolized and broken down very well inside the body, the next obvious supposition would be well is the body going to be able to eliminate it in some way or will it just stay there? What happens if it stays there, that doesn’t sound very good? These are all basic questions 3M chemists could’ve asked themselves before they created this mess, or may be they did and no one paid attention.

That’s exactly why it’s bad, we don’t require businesses to prove X chemical/compound is safe before we start using it for whatever, no, we use it and just hope that it’s safe.

I see IoT devices are still the weakest link in any network.

Just get a high powered laser and burn them, if its good enough for the US military its good enough for me.

This is absurd, wheels and doors are literally falling off their planes and the CEO gets a raise lol. Life is funny sometimes

It may not be real saffron, there have been cases where people sell fake saffron, not sure what they use instead of the real thing but it can happen.

How does licensing work for this if I want to use it commercially?

Admittedly it’s a topic I shouldn’t have really touched on and me deleting the comment doesn’t mean I don’t stand by it I just regret expressing the opinion publicly. I’m sure the original comments are already archived somewhere since this made front page, anyone should be able to find them if they really want to.
