So joining the China club, with a number the party dictates. Good news citizen, only endless growth ahead.

Why slow rotating physical storage ? It not like the AI models generate anything worth retaining in the long term. I assume they are in just running out of ssds so will buy any old drive

Definitely students need more sleep, right through to university. According to this study humans are still adolescent from 9 till 32. Scientists identify five ages of the human brain over a lifetime Want to protect human potential ? That would be a good starting point. It’s sensible even from a purely utilitarian profit focused view of study and work.

Extra high energy particles too. So next time we get hit by secondary particles from a cosmic ray we know what’s to blame. On the other hand the planet might not all be here without the extra gravity from dark matter so it’s still all good. Radiation induced Cancer is horrible but having a decent sized planet is a definite plus

You would think with all the money from data centers their support for enterprise GPU use would be great. But as someone who’s tried to install it, I can confirm it’s really basic and the documentation is sparse.

Yum, looks similar to chicken arroz caldo which is amazing on a cold day. Pure comfort food.

I’ve updated the Illustration.

Seems like they got it straight from the university press release here. I guess we can cut them some slack for using a bit of AI given the recent job losses at that university. They are reported to have lost around 4000 full time staff places in the last year, part of Australia’s recent cut backs to universities that don’t get much international reporting. That’s may hurt their ability to do quality research. Professor Archer noted that "quite clearly, from the many fascinating animals that we’ve already found in this deposit since 1983, we know that with more digging there will be a lot more surprises to come,”. So lets hope they continue to get support.

Yep that’s not how science is done, but the real story is more interesting I think. It wasn’t Einstein so much as Hubble and Lemaître, but he did acknowledge the error that caused him to miss the expanding universe in his equations.

"This circumstance of an expanding universe is irritating " – Albert Einstein, 1929.

In every direction in the sky, there is a background fizz of light. It is all that remains of the most intense flare of energy ever emitted. To explain it, we must look back to 1929. At that time Edwin Hubble, an astronomer at Caltech, proved that the universe was much larger than anyone had expected and expanding in all directions. From this discovery, two competing explanations developed. The Steady State Theory and the Big Bang. The first allows the universe to create new matter as it expands. Matter just appears from some hidden and rather ghostly source. That permits the universe to look more or less the same as it does today, at least as far as galaxies go. The second treats the universe as a closed system. One that begins with a vast and concentrated supply of energy, which decays into lesser forms. Spreading out as it does. The Big Bang universe is an expanding bubble of space-time, with a few wisps of hydrogen and helium that form the stars. The origins of the Big Bang theory began before Hubble’s discovery. A Russian physicist, A. A. Friedmann had used Einstein’s general relativity to model an expanding universe. At this time, it was a purely theoretical exercise. No one realized then that our universe was expanding.

The rate at which the universe expands is known as the Hubble-Lemaître constant. That naming honours Georges Lemaître. In some ways he was the co-discoverer of the Big Bang. He was among the first to model Einstein’s theories of space and time across an entire universe. As a physicist, Catholic priest and astronomer, he had a clear perspective on this question. He had no problem with the idea of the universe having a unique origin for example. Both Einstein and others had learned that Relativity predicted an expanding universe. But at the time, there was no physical evidence of that. Einstein’s solution was to introduce an extra value to the equations. That balanced the universe’s expansion with an opposing force. For the moment, a stable universe seemed possible.

In the 1920s, astronomers were unsure whether our galaxy was the only structure in the universe. There was no astronomical distance scale. That might explain why most astronomers assumed a static universe. Lemaître was willing to explore a different option. He had seen the evidence from Erwin Hubble’s early observations at Mount Wilson Observatory in California. He published his theory in 1927. He estimated the speed of the expansion using those measurements. They proved that Spacetime was rapidly expanding, carrying along the rest of the physical universe.

Wherever astronomers pointed their telescopes every distant object was part of this rapid expansion. Lemaître understood that an expanding universe must have a tiny beginning. He called this origin point the cosmic atom, from which all matter emerged. Einstein rejected the significance of the new astronomical discoveries for some time. He maintained his belief in a static, unchanging cosmos until 1930, when he traveled halfway across the world from Berlin to Pasadena to see Hubble’s evidence in person. He examined Hubble’s photographs, looked through his telescopes, and declared himself fully persuaded.

He called the stabilizing term Lamda also known as the Cosmic Constant his “worst blunder” but actually it forms the foundation for our present understanding the effects of dark energy, the mysterious force driving the observed accelerated expansion of the universe.

So that’s what AI snooping is called now? How is it better if there are Microsoft employees occasionally looking over your shoulder.

I think your right to be cautious about the timing, cats are very territorial and can take a couple of months to trust that a new place really belongs to them. I guess the breed and personality of the kitten would be the key to harmony because your present cat is already mature. If they can coexist then they will eventually accept one another but seperate feeding areas help. They will try very hard to invade the others space on day one so it can be job to keep them separate.

The compulsory voting tends to help there. The otherwise disengaged have to decide on some party. Even the conservatives looking at the US are thinking, nope we should avoid that. There has been a general trend to more independent candidates as well, which is great. The lifestyle is good even if housing is too expensive in the bigger cities.

I expect that paying for a VPN would be a risk too if you live in a country where your bank reports on your purchases to your Govt. True anonymity is challenging.

Its a pattern in the data that’s consistent unless our observations are very strangely skewed. Even if it only shows that gigantic planets tend to come in matched sets within a solar system that is quite interesting. As the paper suggests it warrants more investigation which might show that the correlation is true for all planets forming together in a system or not. That might have to do with how often, major inward moving currents form in a solar nebula, changing the distribution of matter towards a few giants as in our own solar system, or perhaps the metalicity of the original disk material is a factor ie more frozen gas and less rock. In any case a very interesting result, especially if it continues to hold up. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory should over time add many additional exoplanets to our records as it will survey billions of stars and can detect planets in types of systems not currently covered by TESS.

A multiverse with independent universes and varied physics seems plausible given the physics of inflation. On the other hand the quantum kind has multiple parallel worlds. That should have different versions of ourselves among everything else that is possible, but seems unprovable and inelegant as a solution.

Also used as a way to gather more data on their customers, preventing shared accounts by correlating mobile phone location and wifi ID etc.

But the workaround is complex and only temporary. Well Firefox has easier profiles now so really thats the last straw as far as chrome goes. It’s easy enough to migrate.

On the other hand profile management and switching has been greatly improved, a long overdue feature vs chrome

Summary, Patients will be able to get immunotherapy in the form of a vaccine called nivolumab in just 15 minutes, as opposed to an hour on an IV drip. England becomes the first country in Europe to offer it, with approximately 1,200 people receiving it each month for 15 different types of cancer, including skin, bladder, and oesophageal cancer. The medicine is a monoclonal antibody that attaches to a protein called PD-1 on a type of immune cell known as a T cell. It works by preventing cancer cells from deactivating T-cells, allowing the immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells.

From the interview: The main takeaway is that humans are special, but so are birds and reptiles. So our brains are amazing, but bird brains are even as amazing. We have neurons other species do not have. But the chicken, even the chicken, they do have neurons that we don’t have. So evolution has found so many different ways to generate complex brains, not just only one direct pathway from amphibians to humans. In this case, the tree of intelligence is a tree. It’s not just a single branch.

Their population is 135,000 as of 2018 according to Wikipedia. Although local populations ie in the Arabian Sea might be at risk having been genetically isolated for up to 70,000 years and in smaller numbers
