I don't think "manipulating" is valid. A bit over a third voted one way, a bit under a third voted another, and a third didn't vote. The third that didn't vote was saying "sure, wh…

It's entirely possible that things don't get better (or continue to get worse) for reasons unrelated to lead. The addition of the internet is way too big of a confounding factor to…

The concerning part is that peak lead exposure was with Gen X. We're still being led by boomers and silent generation. So any contribution from lead stands to get worse before it g…

Yep. And when he's not deliberately lying, he's often confabulating as a late-stage dementia patient. In short, Trump is not a source.

The market for video game hardware is absolutely puny in comparison to the datacenter GPU boom. I saw it put quite well in a comment on reddit: > In 2020, the gaming segment was 47…

Gas is around $5.50 here in Seattle. Lots of unknowns to consider.

FWIW, this one was only about 5 MB.

There are a variety of ways to do it, but you'd want to be careful that you don't attract attention from your local nuclear regulatory agency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_w…

A can of Monster is actually closer to two typical cups of coffee (usually a bit under 100mg vs 160mg). Though that doesn't change the point being made; nobody would blink at "I dr…

That title had me worried, but the reality seems quite reasonable. I assumed the goal was to reduce usage of AUR, they've actually remove the ability to adopt (take ownership of) o…

We used to do some injections via jet injector. That was before my time, but the testimonials I'm seeing online say that they weren't painful.

I think their reputation is exaggerated compared to how painful they actually are, but yes, they have a reputation for being painful, and they can indeed be quite painful. You pick…

Neat concept, but the density of needles seems quite low for tattoing, and that is likely why the linework of the tattoos in those pictures is so blurry. While getting tattooed, th…

My personal preference is actually a flat 50 years. I think that if an author writes something at 25 and it doesn't blow up until they're 75, I think that's given them more than a …

> If Microsoft has money to invest in AI models, they could sure fix Windows 11 which I assume is one of their core products. On the other hand, what's the return on investment for…

Why not just 30 years? Patents get a flat 20. Not that I'm arguing for 30 per se, just that I don't see what goals of copyright would be advanced more by adding an "or until death"…

I think the point is more: as soon as they stop with the AI silliness they'll return to being a quite strong business.

Lawyers can get you out of jail, but you need to be pretty rich for your lawyers to prevent going to jail in the first place.

That's such a fantastic video. I never totally grasped why hybrids were so much more efficient, because my naive assumptions about how they worked were so simplistic. The real-time…

Trade secrets are a type of IP.

Well that's a big of a separate issue. You aren't violating copyright law to use the output of one LLM to train your own, but that doesn't mean they need to let you do it. You like…

> Long term, I think the best thing the economy could do is to make training on model outputs fair-use AI outputs have been ruled as not even copyrightable, isn't that even better …
