$100 does not "Prevent It". A $100 test detects atherosclerosis. Further treatment is required. I have no idea what the treatments are or their costs.

Discord has been available for training data for at least some months. I used duckduckgo to search information on my gamertag and whichever AI they were using at the time came up with results that would have only been available had it used Discord's data.

I am surprised there was not an affiliate link for a book, "Pattern Matching Investing Guide - Six simple steps to generate generational wealth!" by the author of this post.

This post was one of the most strange I have read on the front page. I clicked the link hoping to read some research about pattern matching in some scientific or technical field.

Of note: This only occurred for fragments taken from an individual of the same genetic makeup(genet: basic meaning is they are a colony). Presumably, it would be difficult to recreate this at scale in the wild. I did not read past the free to read portion of the article that mentions scaling this is possible. I am curious about the methodology of that.

I find it strange that the first observance of this was a year ago, especially given how rapidly it occurs. Coral bleaching has probably been studied since the 80s when major events started being noticed. If Stephen Palumbi is reading this, I would love to read why you think it took so long.

edit: I would wager this is only the first published observance.

I'm not familiar with her body of work. I am trying to find out what code she worked on. I am trying to learn more about her.

The data will be much clearer in the future, once all of our data has been mined. We create so much personal media and collected data that some point in the future when one entity has loaded that, a crazy real autobiography could be created.

>I just give up on because they don't realize that a thing should not be working the way it does, they think it is them that are wrong - as evidently you do as well. I think it is frankly a strange viewpoint to have in the world of software development, which world I assume you are a part of?

I agree with, "They think it is them that are wrong", essentially. The end users that I deal with at the consumer level usually think they messed up when something does not do what they thought it was going to do.

>as evidently you do as well. I think it is frankly a strange viewpoint to have in the world of software development

Can you elaborate on this statement? I do not know whether you are agreeing with me and implying we are both strange or you are implying that I think that way and that is strange. Either way, I am not a developer, yet. I dabble in things.

I usually agree with this sentiment. I have a general disdain for elaborations and novelization. Get to the point! Give me the necessary facts and make it concise!

In this case for some reason, I disagree. This post is engaging for me. I sometimes elaborate on how I came to a conclusion because that journey is equally as fascinating as the conclusion itself. While reading this authors post I was happy to see what seems like a very thorough thought process.

It was actually refreshing for me to see someone write at such length and find myself engaged.

It worked for me.

Now, putting my self in your shoes, as I have regularly had the same opinion, I have more empathy and understanding for how people consume and enjoy writing.

The world is fascinating.

It is possible if you consider madaxe_again's theory(comment here). If the debris just started descending without interruption, there would be no receding.

Brilliant analysis! Although china is notoriously bad at reporting earthquake data, I assumed in this case they were open and honest. It made sense that an earthquake would trigger this event. I do not fault anyone for interpreting the data this way. The USGS has been the agency I most trust in the federal government.

USGS is a fact finding organization. They do not regulate. They have been around since 1879. The land surveys they have done made huge impact on society. The reliability of surveys that they have facilitated has made an impact on industrial civilization that few will understand or ever hear about.
