I can't find any remotely authoritative sources saying this. Who is this YouTuber?

Lol kinda funny how NIN is almost as big as all the whole genre options. Only other actual artists I see are Metallica and Michael Jackson and they're relatively small.

Would be interesting to see a govt tackle setting up a trustless system like it required for cybersecurity best practices. I think it's a thorny issue without a trusted authority though.

What stops an ID for being posted publicly or shared en masse? So one ID can be used unlimited times - just share the key with minors for $1 at no risk to oneself since there's no knowledge of the 'transaction' being sent around. Better for individual privacy but that undermines the political impetus for wanting the verification. Usage would probably have to be monitored or capped, kind of defeating the advantage of the anonymous protocol (or accept that abuse is unenforceable).

Interesting explanation. Democracy can't really work unless people have a trusted source of truth and those seem hard to come by these days with the struggles of for-profit news orgs (mostly owned by the same few giant media conglomerates). Would make sense that an effective angle of propaganda is to exacerbate that in any way possible.

For sure, I think the research is more relevant to other research professionals rather than us plebs on social media though. Posting it here is kinda puts it out of context I think

Idk I noticed pretty significant differences between models of various sizes. I mean there are lots of metrics on this

This piqued my curiosity so I dug into it a bit on Wikipedia. Most worms are dumb as fuck, roundworms are about as dumb as they come with total neuron counts for a roundworm being comparable to a microscopic tartigrade (300 vs 200). Most of this is located in the head of the worm in a brain like structure though, so I'm betting the clones develop their brains independently with no information transfer. I doubt there's a ton of learning/memory forming going on at all though, based on how simple worms are, so it's probably functionally identical. I would be surprised if most worm species exhibit any kind of learned behaviors ever.

Thanks, I wish more people did their own tests and published them like this since marketing for electronics is loose at best

Pretty sure the desk is for your back, not your heart?

The entirety of "open" ai is complete bullshit. They're no longer even pretending to be nonprofit at all and there is nothing "open" about them since like 2018.

The car can put out its own ad hoc wifi network or be added to your work network. Fobs have decent enough range too and so global access to my car via the internet is only marginally more convenient at best (and not sure I want it to be connected at all for security reasons tbh).
