Same thing happens with plants on a similar timescale right? Cultivars look nothing like their wild relatives at this point.

Isn't it more accurate to say we went from wolves to dogs? Dogs are not a group of species. The domesticated dog is a species. Also canines seem to hybridize well, suggesting they …

Aren't the advertised prices just a number now? When OpenAI or some other big player comes to buy months worth of production capacity, they aren't doing it at a publicly advertised…

I believe efforts like this were funded by HP. It is why the Itanium was kept around for so long despite being dead on arrival.

There are several European countries that do this from what I understand

Couldn't folks just use TLS 1.3?

What I find interesting is that having lived in the southeast US for decades now, there is never any shortage of a story where someone buys a house near a race track. Not long afte…

As a longtime amateur radio operator, Vara is encumbered by numerous intellectual property aspects. There also doesn't exist a publicly available description that is comprehensive.…

wouldn't it be simpler to just lead a conquest and be crowned holy roman emperor?

isn't Ferrari the brand that requires any purchaser to be an existing owner? I could see NVIDIA going for something like that.

isn't parallel that tool that dumps some kind of begging message into your output each time you invoke it?

The part about sibling marriage is just so weird to read nowadays. When did humanity first figure out that inbreeding might be a bad idea?

I think I've seen the opposite end of this as well: I get the most value from any LLM when I ask it one very targeted question with a followup. I don't fall outside of any sort of …

I guess for me, the question is how do you define each degree? If I say something like "Gemini, make the colors pop in my photos!" is that OK?

I hope they don't figure out virtually all housing is photographed with those weird lenses and the colors are enhanced digitally

I'm pretty sure if they stopped skirting the laws, it'd eliminate a decent cohort of their customer base. Watching someone come through a pedestrian area at 45 mph on a "bicycle" t…
