The difference being that the chemical simulations get the correct answers on most conditions. And probably the few they miss are because of the simulation limitations, not of the underlying model.

Those other simulators aren't there to tell you the result. Instead people put the result in to find how the simulation behaves in cosmology, and don't care about them in Sims.

You know that people simulate chemistry on computers, right?

> Can you point to some examples of where that's happening?

You mean the AI datacenters doing it? No, they are not doing it.

They seem to be doing the opposite. They being loud is really hard to accept, decorrelating the fans cooling them would probably pay for itself in less than an year. It's like it's some Capitan Planet villain building those things.

When mines pay a sizeable share of their profits as local taxes, and obey environmental regulations, people suddenly start to like them.

The physics that predicts chemistry is about 100 years old. Almost nothing people study up to high-school is that recent, and that modern physics tends to be really hard.

Mixed with some complaints on how the community doesn't like vibe-coding, and that if you insist on not letting AI think for you, you will be left to die in the dust of the other competitors.

The amount of certainty random people have that LLMs have already revolutionized software development seems to be directly proportional to the media awareness of the AI companies finance unsustainability.

The ALU of a computer with a megabit word must be a beast to awe upon!

> The goal in Iran is also not to win but to keep the Gulf monarchies, the EU, Japan and China down by means of a low intensity forever war.

Eh... The US can not survive an economical war against the entire world.

But anyway, somebody forgot to warn whoever created this strategy that the US society is constructed in a way that doesn't allow barriers against they exporting all their oil. They will either run out, or they will see some societal changes.

The one surest way to stop a starting revolution is for a foreigner to start murdering civilians all around.

We didn't ban water or metals because of the things in your examples.

Discover what plastic is harmful and we can't start to talk.

> Yeah, but we shouldn't take absence of evidence as evidence of absence.

That's wrong. Yes, we should.

Each and every study that doesn't find evidence for what they are looking for is evidence for its absence.

If you want to record your interactions of health professionals and share them with the world, you are free to do that.

That's not the example on the article.

There are very few non-fiction books that actually need their space to communicate their idea, instead of doing it in a chapter and filling the rest of it to reach some word-count target.

Well, yes, but the article is not about those important meetings.

The examples there are literally meeting friends over coffee and attending a health-care professional.

I doubt it.

People have all kinds of self-defeating behavior, and those behaviors seem to be on the rise since smartphones became popular. It's likely that people enjoy it and won't do it anyway.

Together we can go further, but the more of us there are, the least we can deviate from the paved road.

> However, I'd say 90% of making something (that is useful) is repeating the old thing.

The entire point of software engineering is to make repetition unnecessary so people can focus on the new.

LLMs are pushing the people that use them into the worst possible set of practices.

Yes it's safety related. Turning the heater on while the airflow if off is a sure way to start a fire.

It could be fixed with a relay or a solid state switch on the heater, or with a multipolar toggle on the airspeed. But that's several cents more expensive than making it turn on at the heater switch.

Yes, you need to deal with EMI and static bursts on your microcontroller inputs.
