My teenage boys are hooked on Calvin & Hobbes.

In Lakatosian terms, the amyloid hypothesis is an example of a degenerating research program that has largely failed to predict new observations and is primarily driven by post hoc…

But, datacenter development in space does not deal with local NIMBYs, just centralized decision-makers that are easier to "influence".

Gives new meaning to "gut intuition", since the superparamagnetic macrophages are in the liver.

My CEO did a deep dive into AI prototyping and eventually ran into a wall with data architecture and deployment. Fortunately, he realized very quickly that having human designed co…

Your username is uncanny for this comment. Well played.

The fact that you aren't persuaded is the evidence of collapse. Previous generations of LLMs persuaded everyone of anything.
