Anthropic released a C compiler this week that was built autonomously. We mined the entire repo for clues to reproduce the scaffolding they used and open sourced it.
+1 to this, my mom died because of COVID in India 1 months after she left US after visiting me, and I still feel guilty that I didnt insist on getting her the vaccine before she left for India, and then at the time of her death India was locked down so no flights and I wasn't even next to her. It's been 4 years but every so often I think about this. I blame myself less now after some therapy, but If you didn't try all that you could you'd probably feel guilty like me.
Yeah I don't understand why the whole thread has been so hostile against a very reasonable/useful observation that you made. If there was a way to prompt commenters to be less snarky on HN that'd be a vast improvement.
I don't know about Shorts but Instagram has solved the addiction problem by ignoring signals like the user tapping "not interested" or scrolling past videos quickly. They just show junk.
I don't know if you are just ignorant about history and unwilling to Google, or if you are making the point that of course British did not force feed opium to the people.
What is very well established is that the british fought a war , literally called the opium war by Western historians themselves with the main objective of keeping their opium distribution into China open after the emperor banned it
Their action was akin to if some majority owner of Purdue pharma invades US and forces US government to "keep the oxy market open" while letting "people make their own decision".
Tbh, what you describe sounds nothing like forcing opium on a people.
If mexico invaded and started making meth in the US, or started sending even more meth into the US than they do now by totally taking over the border, I would not begin taking meth.
The brits were also running the opium shops. So if you think country A selling opiods in country B and then going to war so that country B can not stop the sale of opiods is totally okay, then that is truly very different from my model of good behavior.
The hidden variable is the previa marketing budget. They have budget right now for a billboard and for online ads at the same time and they are focusing on your geography
A few months ago I read about a lady who can smell Alzheimer's and at first she too was not taken seriously. I can't think of how RF can affect human body but I wouldn't dismiss their reports completely.
I've skimmed this, it makes no sense to me. There are some graphics. There are things like this:
> The ISS genomes exhibited an average of 4568 genes, a significantly higher count than the average of 4416 genes found in the Earth genomes.
Yes, 4568 is a significantly higher count than 4416. But if I took samples of this bacteria from different countries, would I see a similarly significantly different count? I've no idea.. is this even significant without this sort of comparison?
I watched the video too. This really is just a bunch of stock footage, with the same info as the linked NASA article.
Do others find this info to be compelling of anything? It seems that this could be a PR piece of some sort, for 'space science'. I don't get the significance.
