Asking this honestly...if certain kinds of inflammation tend to accelerate aging, and those inflammations can be controlled or decreased, does that, in effect, at least slow (if no…

This specific finding is minor, but its implications are not IMHO. From the article it appears the researchers consider this a discovery in effect. If consumer hardware is already …

As a concept, it's intriguing. In practice, a lot of pieces need to work out just right for this particular instance of the idea to gain traction. IMHO a few factors need to be met…

1. As a sporadic viewer of the newer Simpsons, the quality appears to vary. How can any show remain consistently humorous through nearly 40 years of content? And across how many wr…

Everybody's got a party and if you leave, you ruin the party -- apparently. Isolated "walled gardens" are a kind of Intranet. Ingress requires buy-in (sign up, log in, identity pro…

Is there a way to keep up to date on updates and new announcements? TIA.

Agreed, from the article, there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation. Just two largely unrelated trends.

I'm not sure I understand the claims being made. I'm curious if this is experiential / anecdotal or if widespread. I think OSS is OSS always...being able to audit it makes it (reas…

I'm not aware of any SoTA outside of Veo and Sora. I've found the two of them mostly comparable for one-off use cases. Veo3 might be a bit "crisper" in some uses but this is anecdo…

I've always been interested in the little I've read of Pepys, but I had no idea about this backstory! Does anyone know when (if?) the offending passages got included in the publish…

Sometimes it seems you can "remind" the more established models, and this will bring the context back into focus (just from personal experience) but why that would work, I can only…

I know I'm not alone in maintaining a strong feeling that we've "gone the wrong way" with tech in a lot of ways, as the meme goes, and forgotten (societally) that tech is there for…

I see the points others are making, but I would find this a useful tool, I think. IMHO the missing factor gets bypassed on many posts like this (not just on this platform) -- the p…

Completely agree. This is a great insight. IMHO part of the growth of a programmer is learning how the code fits the context, and a large part of that is writing less code, not mor…

Creating an effectively physical representation of a neural net appears like a major step forward, even if this is just the first part of that step. I am surprised that this is the…

I think the determinant will be how transparently this process is maintained.

Interesting. I view this as an antagonistic move against users, one of many in recent months and years, so I guess it's not really surprising (but that may be in large part my own …

IMHO this breaks down into one of two answers: 1) I'm building something that makes a difference (if you think it does). 2) I'm building something that someone thinks makes a diffe…

This is really neat, and close to something I have always wanted to implement for managing a small local notes handling system. (As a side note which may be a kind of artifact of c…

This article read a little different than I expected from the title. I was just thinking about this topic recently through a book that surveyed historians in the 19th century. So m…

Can I ask, do you find that the benefits that other respondents are claiming (maybe younger respondents) are artifacts of a wishful thinking? Is it possible that the benefits are s…

Tried this out, pretty interesting! Nice usable interface, though I'd personally want some more video controls. Video summaries are fantastically helpful. The processing seemed to …

It's easy to get negative about a seemingly narrow technology. It's easy to want to compensate by becoming overly optimistic. I have trouble fluctuating between these since it's al…

Interesting. It could be the further "down" on the foodchain your academic discipline, the more certain you might need to appear, or think you should appear -- at least this seems …

This strikes a chord with me (not that I'm the only one). Every time I write longform, I intuitively want to include, "maybe", "might", "I think", but then axe them from my writing…
