Didn’t China also demonstrate their ability to destroy a satellite from a different satellite about a decade ago? I remember it creating a huge uproar because of the massive amount of space debris it created.
Also, given our military budget, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we did go to the expense of putting massig tungsten rods in orbit.
Grocery store profit margins are 1-3% of sale price on most items and tend to be low on staples. I don’t disagree with reducing prices through subsidies, but I wonder whether a city run food stamp suppliment might be more effective than opening stores that undercut an industry that has pretty low profit margins.
Who is going to prosecute? The current DOJ?
I think this is just an example of trying to stretch “we don’t know shit” into an article of sifficient length.
If I wanted to give benefit of the doubt, maybe they mean that 2/3 of vacancies are caused by being held empty for speculation. Even that doesn’t make snes to me, though. It’s not like you are unable to sell properties that have tenants.
Where are you getting the statistic of 2/3 of housing being kept empty for speculation? A quick look outside tells me that is utter bullshit.
The most obvious slight of hand here is the suggestion that employer contributions shouldn’t count as part of what employees paid in. That is part of their compensation and shouldn’t be ignored when suggesting that younger generations are paying for baby boomer’s social security.
To me this reads like someone is trying to poison younger people against social security so they won’t complain when it is taken away.
I’d argue that this highly depends on what state you live in. Idaho is one of the most backward, conservative, intolerant states in the country.
To be clear, they published the rule to the federal register. If the I junctions are lifted, the rule will immediately go into effect. This has no immediate effect and hopefully never will.
I have been on the internet since 1993 and have always been disappointed that a subscription/donation model didn’t beat out an ad-driven model. I wonder if this is going to push us towards a subscription/donation model as things move behind paywalls tplo protect against bots.
I don’t really want to pay subscription fees, but I am definitely tired of ads and being the product. I’d rather be sold a good product.
“One quarter at a time” is being generous I think. They think microsecond to microsecond a lot of the time because that’s how you carve corners off of the market.
Why does everything that comes from this administration have to be the worst possible decision for any given situation? They’re so dumb, you’d think they’d stumble into a good thing every once in a while.
Fuck these malicious assholes!
As someone else who works in ML but as a user for research purposes, I agree that there is no technical distinction but we’re talking about public communications here. You and I both know that AI and ML are the same thing. Most people do not. If I talked with my mom about AI she would assume I mean generative AI. She wouldn’t understand the nuance in your comment.
In fact, even as a researcher who uses both simple ML techniques and generative AI, I tend to make the assumption that when someone mentions AI they mean generative AI.
Common language changes based on the common understanding of society. The fact that the technical terms mean something different from the common understanding in society means that we need to be even more careful with the terms that we use, especially with something as polarizing as generative AI.
I wouldn’t call that “doing a good job”. If they were doing a good job, they would disambiguate Machine Learning from Generative AI. I don’t know that they’re doing this intentionally, but i would definitely appreciate that distinction being made.
Anecdotally, after using an electric tooth brush, using a “normal” toothbrush leaves my teeth feeling fuzzy not matter how well I brush.
Also, it used to be that my teeth would feel super clean and smooth after the dentist. I barely notice the difference anymore because my electric toothbrush does such a good job.
As the article says, this aligns their fees with the fees charged byany other countries. While there is anti-foreign sentiment in Japan right now due to over-tourism, this doesn’t appear to be targeted at reducing tourism.
Honestly, as a foreigner who has been to Japan many times, I find izakaya to be extremely intimidating. I only go to them if I have someone local to go with.
I’d argue that it is a lot easier to inform the public when the campaign doesn’t have to cover as much area and that it becomes more difficult to buy every race when there are more of them.
I kind fo agree and kind of don’t. I agree in that parents should take accountability for their children. That said, social media has been shown to be addictive and kids are frequently ahead of their parents technologically. One thing that could help is an education campaign that teaches parents how to effectively monitor their kid’s online activity. Parents need some help figuring out what tools to use and how to use them I think.
I’m not sure if you’re using a broken app or something but there is definitely text there. Here are the first three paragraphs.
