I don't know about that they have multiple successful businesses with or without AI and they stand to have all of OpenAI's IP when they implode (their license gives them free access to fork all of OpenAI's AI models with the sole exception of some hypothetical future artificial general intelligence) my guess is they take a hit to the stock price but so will everyone else and they will go on a shopping spree of buying up any IP or infrastructure left after the bubble pops.
as someone that donates plasma twice weekly I wonder what health effects of removing and filtering the blood regularly has if accumulation of byproducts is a major issue
that's interesting. I thought it was because our sun's spectrum has the most energy in visible light band - therefore we evolved to see the light which can give us the highest SNR.
Both the "because that's what the sun emits" and "because we are mostly water" explanations are incomplete. There are plenty of other animals [1] that can "see" infrared.
The real reason is simply because that's how we evolved. That's how the "because those are the frequencies that pass through water" explanation comes into play: vision first evolved in aquatic animals, so frequencies that don't penetrate water wouldn't have been all that helpful to their survival and reproductive success, and so wouldn't be selected for. But that's incomplete too: salmon are one of the top IR-sensing animals and they live in water, so when there's an evolutionary need to select for IR vision, it happens. The reason we "see" in the visible light range is simply that that's how we've defined "visible".
There are some physics reasons as well, notably that most mammalian body structures emit heat, which would blind an animal that relies on infrared to see (notice how most of the animals that can see infrared are cold-blooded reptiles, fish, and insects), and that most of the high-resolution biochemical mechanisms that can convert electromagnetic waves to electrochemical nerve impulses operate in the visible light range. Structures that convert infrared radiation to nerve impulses are more complex and more costly to support, so unless there's a clear survival benefit for the species, they tend to get selected away.
where will the government get the money to buy anything if the billionaires and their mega corps have it all and spend sufficient amounts to keep the government from taxing. we have a k shape economy where the capital class is extracting all of the value from the working class who are headed to subsistence levels of income and the low class dies in the ditch.
Grok even if it were technically superior is hampered by it being owned and run by a mercurial racist narcist who in drug infused mania keeps accidentally turning it into Mecha-Hitler in attempts to make it fit his political views or turning it into a generator of child porn. No one in their right mind wants to have their product associated with that kind of liability. Who wants an ai agent that starts spewing great replacement theory at their customers?
The burgers are fine at the one accross the road from my job but the Burger King here has to most bland frys I dont think they salt them at all they are crispy but lack taste.
it the natural results this site catter not just to tech nerds but one chasing venture capital money. its an inudustry that has never seen a dark patern it didn't like. we have gone from "don't be evil" to "be evil if makes the stonks go up"
In the 2010 era of RAM density, random bit flips were really uncommon. I worked with over a thousand systems which would report ECC errors when they happen and the only memorable events at all were actual DIMM failures.
Also, around 1999-2000, Sun blamed cosmic rays for bit flips for random crashes with their UltraSPARC II CPU modules.
Yep, hardware failures, electrical glitches, EM interference... All things that actually happen to actual people every single day in truly enormous numbers.
It ain't cosmic rays, but the consequences are still flipped bits.
Who decides where the art erotica boarder is? There is plenty of content that would straddle that border, I have seen art that could legitimately called pornographic and pornography i would describe as art. Who decides? And then you have prudes Florida Texas red states trying to prevent remove any thing from an .edu and would happily ban the .xxx entirely and would find any .art suspect and probably ban it.
Sort of like how the movie Charade staring Carry Grant and Audrey Hepburn is public domain (due to failure to file back when that was required in the 1970's) but the soundtrack is not. So the music is in the pubic domain only when played in the movie but played separately the music is still protected.
