I actually like their implementation. I'm curious if it will be enough for governments, but it is nice that they are trying to persue a path without id checks

no?

I guess it falls in the same category of burglars that enter from the unlocked main door. It is still illegal even if there were no security measures to overcome by the attacker.

That being said using an API does require a minimum of computer knowledge

>None of the dietary studies that I have seen has provided any conclusive evidence that meat per se is the harmful ingredient

This is innacurate if not simply false; according to the WHO red meat is a class 2 carcinogenic and sausages are class 1 carcinogenic. This leaves only white meat as non cancerogenic

If you look at the data vegan (and vegetarian to a lesser extent) diets over various studies consitently perform better in cardiovascular health and cancer rate (colon in particular) compared to the omnivorous conterpart

It may not affects me personally but i'm still interested in the topic and the discussions it generates.

But... he literally said in the following sentence that adding more mass does not change size, implying that he is talking about diameter, not mass.

I guess it is more of a derivative of the question: "in which bucket should we put the brown dwarf? Is it a star or a planet?". The answer is neither of course; but since it is more closely related to stars than to planets, I'm more inclined to call this satellite an exoplanet (instead of exomoon).

That being said it is still a nice finding, way more difficult to discover than "normal" exopanets.

I love it. It also saves you tokens and it has been linked with more accuracy.

It is truly fascinating, I wonder how it evolved like that. Before becoming a spring as it is today how was it hunting in the past? What constraints made it need such a mechanism instead of a typical web?

It is nice to see it submitted other times with nice results. I don't see anything wrong in resubmitting it again during Tau day to spread awareness

Animals (humans included) work on the same "framework" (i.e., the brain), so even if the definition of consciousness is fuzzy, we can rank them in a more or less consistent way. LLMs, on the other hand, are just the linguistic part of a brain without anything else. Whether this is enough to be conscious is up for debate (in my opinion no, but that's irrelevant), but it falls outside the spectrum assumption IMO.
