  • Then these models are stupid. Humans don't start as a blank slate. They have an inherent aptitude for language and communication. These models should start out with basics of language, so they don't have to learn it from the ground up. That's the next step. Right now they're just well read idiots.

  • provenance requires some way to filter the internet into human-generated and AI-generated content, which hasn’t been cracked yet

    It doesn't need to be filtered into human / AI content. It needs to be filtered into good (true) / bad (false) content. Or a "truth score" for each.

    We don't teach children to read by just handing them random tweets. We give them books that are made specifically for children. Our filtering mechanism for good / bad content is very robust for humans. Why can't AI just read every piece of "classic literature", famous speeches, popular books, good TV and movie scripts, textbooks, etc?

  • Farmers in Africa say their soil is dying and chemical fertilizers are in part to blame

    Jump

  • It's not an "ism" issue. This has happened in countries that were completely anti-capitalist. It's just a biological imperative: you have to rotate crops, regardless of who runs your country.

    The Soviet Union and the PRC demanded quantities of cash crops for export too. If your choice is rotating crops or staying out of the gulag, you're not going to rotate.

  • Wasn't farming invented in Africa? Or at least the nearby Middle East. This has been a known issue for years.

    I bet it's an issue with farmers needing money now, because of low crop prices. Crop prices are cyclical, so hopefully it works itself out without too much economic damage.

  • Experts say a twice-yearly injection that offers 100% protection against HIV is 'stunning'

    Jump

  • This is more effective than prep and easier, because you only need a shot every 6 months. The testing for this new shit involved using prep for the control group.

    The new medicine worked so well they stopped the trial and gave the control group the shot. No one with the shot got sick at all. If they had continued with the control group, a few of them would have gotten AIDS.

  • Yellow fever, cholera, mumps, polio, measles, and malaria were endemic in the US prior to their eradication. By "endemic" I mean children got them as often as chicken pox. They were almost unavoidable and killed millions.

    Measles and mumps are making a comeback due to anti-vax losers, but the others are still gone.

  • I'm going to protest on the beach later next month. I think some time on the weekend when it's warm and sunny. Might enhance the protest by reading a book and listening to some music, then going swimming. I'm sure important social change will result.

  • holidaymakers have complained of noise, rubbish and odour from the encampment, leading a court last year to order it be cleared ahead of schedule. Frank Deppe, a Sylt podcaster, recalled conflict between the protesters and local business owners including shouted insults and even fistfights.

    This isn't a protest, it's just dudes wanting to go on a cheap vacation and drink. And I do mean dudes. I only see 3 women and 20 dudes in the pictures.

    Rising housing prices have made it hard for locals, so these guys play music and chill outside? That's not a protest.

  • North Korea flies more balloons across border with South

    Jump

  • Are you asking for a source with unbiased info about North Korea? That's almost impossible. Read some interviews with defectors and they will tell you how they bribed police or had hidden electronic devices.

    The average person in NK is just like you or me, but they don't have much more than some basic food and a few possessions. Their lives basically suck solely because of the government and they live right next to one of the most developed metropolises on Earth.

  • After Biden drops out, Trump lashes out

    Jump

  • He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

    Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

    Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

  • North Korea flies more balloons across border with South

    Jump

  • Well that's just not true. Anything electronic landing broken in NK would be scavenged for parts in 5 minutes. People in the countryside there don't have access to new things like those in Pyongyang.

    They probably turn in the balloons to the local authority after they take what they want. Then the local police take some and send it to the main headquarters. I'm sure it's like drug shipments that start out at 10 kilos and end up at 2 kilos by the time it reaches the evidence locker.

  • Cloudstrike's stock price waiting for the markets to open

    Jump

  • You are using big words to try to sound smart, without understanding the specific details of the situation. There's more than one group of "rich people" trading in the early market. Some are buying and others are selling. They are just moving money back and forth within the same "class" (as you understand it).

    The other guy is wrong because in a situation like this there are very few buyers in the early market. He focuses only on the "rich" buyers and ignores the larger group of "rich" sellers trying to get rid of their shares. It's much more likely that most "rich" sellers waited until the market opened because they didn't want to sell while it was thinly traded.

    So if you care about "classes", the "rich" generally lost money because the company they already own went down in value. Maybe a few people bought at the bottom and sold when it went higher, but that was neither a large percent of "rich" investors nor a guaranteed return.

    I'm explaining it to you because the other comment has a low level understanding of the specifics, while you admit you don't understand. It's more dangerous to think you understand something than to know your limits. I can trade in early / late markets but don't because they have no one else there. The market has few other participants and that makes it too choppy.

  • Costs are not the reason for higher food prices; it's demand. They charge more because you have no option. The average person has no way or ability to grow food and not much aptitude for cooking. That's a recipe for higher food prices.

  • Their main function was to avoid lawsuits, like the rest of HR. I feel like these companies forgot that they were all sued because they discriminated against women and non-white applicants and employees. This is just going to make it easier to prove discrimination in court.
