I wasn’t going to bother even testing Google’s AI products unless everyone started gushing about how much better they are than GPT4 but with 60 free queries per minute? That’s worth exploring even if only to find out shortly that it’s not worth paying for.

Since when is electricity not a resource?

Unlike cannabis, you can’t sell tomatoes for $2,000 a pound.

It makes a big difference to a few competitive customers so TSMC gets paid well for that first mover advantage, but yeah it’s not well secured monopoly.

They're not. Feral cats form colonies with complex social structures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cat#Colonies

House cats are much more solitary creatures that are very jealous of their human slaves' relationships.

The article kind of glosses over how inaccessible this place is. Rob Mark got extraordinarily lucky that the water level got high enough to boat to the area because unlike the jungle, the water is way too cold to survive for very long even during the summer and there's no solid ground for miles at a time like in a tropical jungle. It's all bog and peatland as far as the eye can see.

Unless the government clears helicopters to rappel people down, he might be the last person to visit the area given climate change.

It doesn't matter if it had any positive impact, the negative impact outweigh them so much it's a downright crime against humanity that imprisoned millions of people in a system that constitutes modern day slave labor.

Based on my reading of the paper about the sequenced neanderthal bone [1] and a global genetic variation study [2], the difference between neanderthals and modern humans isn't that much bigger than the natural variation within the modern human genome. That difference is much smaller (on the order of 10-40x) than the difference between modern humans and chimpanzees and given the multiple genetic bottleneck events in our evolution, I think it's much more accurate to look at all the different species of archaic humans as breeds of modern humans that happen to show a larger difference with older samples because of the limited founding population and the diversity of our ancestors (of which we have very few biased samples).

Where to draw the line in speciation is always controversial but my theory is that once tool use really got going by the second stone industry, early humans started artificially self-selecting for intelligence just like we later did with dogs and eventually the modern human "breed" was born. By the million year ago mark, roughly the time evidence of fire started showing up in the archaeological record, I think the species that is modern humans was already long spreading and out competing other apes. I think shortly after this point is when we started developing clothing and moving into the colder climates, leaving evidence at places like Atapuerca.

I think that would still be Californium. Even if NVIDIA could fit 300 H100 on a 300mm wafer at $40,000 a GPU a wafer would be worth $12,000,000 which would be in the same ballpark as a single gram of Californium.

Technically anti-matter would cost orders of magnitude more but there's no demand for it so it's not really valuable, whereas Californium is tightly rationed for scientific research.

On top of that the video container usually provides synchronized audio packets.

Clapper just straight up bald face lied multiple times about the US surveillance aparatus during the Snowden revelations and faced absolutely zero consequences. Altman could ignore the summons or just dodge questions endlessly and Congress wouldn’t lift a finger except to grandstand for their respective peanut galleries.

Avoid evolutionary arguments, they're "just so" explanations that can be twisted to fit any narrative.

I have no recommendations for UI in general but for practical UI skills I really like Every Layout [1] which covers common page layouts and how to make them responsive beyond just media queries.

I'm curious why they assume the adult tyrannosaurids wouldn't eat the oviraptorosaurs because that makes no sense to me. My cats will chase down and eat flies and mosquitos so is there some sort of size threshold for agility that the tyrannosaurids pass through that makes it impractical to hunt small prey? They are believed to be warm blooded so it's not like they could really ignore easy prey at that size.
