A finnish journalist uncovers that Replika AI assistant is made by company of Russian emigrant who has close ties to Putin. The company is a front that appears as US entity, but is actually operated from Moscow.
Regarding point 2 - it is more likely that mutations would actually cause sars-cov-2 to be less pathogenic. Futher if you judge merits of approach solely by looking at death counts you miss the bigger picture: what is the total cost of the approach when you include economy and other indirect impacts, eg. mental issues caused by more severe isolation.
Funny that even if this site does typography well, it miserably fails in accessibility as parts of text have way too low contrast against background. Still great content and I will definitely dig in.
I'm genuinely interested in this topic. I'm not saying that vegan diet is the best diet out there, but what I've read so far it really seems to be a much healthier alternative than the "western default".
Some interesting studies about vegan diet and it's impact on health:
All these studies contain findings that support the idea of vegan diet being one of the healthiest option: vegans tend to have lower BMI, blood pressure and reduced (prostate) cancer rate.
I would argue that it depends on how predictable the output is for a given system that determines if it is a gamble or not. A simple rule system with numerous agents can produce output that is really hard to predict.
It's ridiculous to blame agile for "delivering shit" (I'm not a huge agile fan neither) - after all it always comes down to the people involved not the methodology/process applied.
A though experiment: do you blame democracy, because Trump is now a nominee? If you have lousy people, choice of process does not really matter.
You cant really say it's a great purchase without mentioning the price, which you didn't. I haven't done any deep analysis but my gut feeling says that 26.2B for stopping Linkedin spam is not worth it.
"New particle is not included in the Standard Model--because there hasn't been any experimental evidence for one.."
What?! That statement is absurd - reminds me the story of how geocentric model was "adjusted" when new measurements came along. That just leads to overfitting a model. The property of a sound theory is that it can predict future data; it does not just rationalize on data already acquired.
I hope Google encourages spin-offs to be launched from these closing services. Haven't used Google Compare as it's not available in my region, but it seems like a solid concept.
"This is why it’s been crucial to have two similar detectors separated by nearly 2,000 miles - one in Washington State, the other in Louisiana - and to seek events that show up in both detectors, thereby ruling out effects caused by local seismic events, passing trucks, and so forth."
Sounds like a good old survival bias ;)
Seriously though, what is confidence interval in LIGO?
Well, it is just slow: bigger the code base / longer it runs, the more clearer this becomes. I used Atom for ~6 months, until I had enough and switched to sublimetext about 4 months ago.
