I wonder if this is caused by so much of the training data is the web, where millions of articles were written to hit some word count. It's just following what it was trained on.

They have been sold out of a lot of units, due to people developing AI, so apparently, it is significant.

Wait does this suggest that there are can be vulnerabilities in viewing a website in curl? I do this sometimes, when I want to check a website that I suspect might be malicious. There have been vulnerabilities associated with ANSI control codes, so I really DON'T want those to be included in a display.

Now, that's fascinating. Posts like this is why I started reading hacker news.

Good advice. As someone for whom this is currently relevant, let me add "find a support group".

At least, if it's a common cancer, a group will gather accumulated wisdom and can research better than a single person.

Also, they can help more with practical questions, like financial aid, how to manage sleep and pain, etc.

They have to stop subsidizing at some point!

And they still aren't there, I bet.

> It's a browser view of the Solar System at real scale

Is it really? I don't think you could see the satellites, if they weren't drawn at 1000x scale. I am wrong?

At real scale, i would expect to not see anything.

They mention this event has only happened handful of times.

This seems unsupported. More likely is it's happened a large number of times, but has only established a lineage a handful of times.

"somewhat expensive when comparing to other models of similar price"?

That says something about your selected range, and nothing about the model.

In biology, there are always many causes, of course.

I wonder if people are familiar with the hypothesis of parasite-driven aging.

Parasites are vastly more prevalent than most people in modern, sanitary, medicated societies realize. Studies show that over half the biomass in a region may be parasitic.

Parasite frequently keep the host alive, but inhibit reproduction. This leaves the host alive, and competing with healthy members of its species for resources, but no capable longer reproducing. It's evolutionary dead weight.

Death is basically "turning it off and on again", just as you would do with a computer, and for very similar reasons. It clears the accumulated parasites and starts fresh.

This would also help explain why death is strongly conserved.

Verifying the ID is correct without verifying that it matches the human carrying kind of misses the whole point of an ID.
