it is possible to calculate the total amount of radiation she was exposed to, and to map that to tables that link radiation exposure to risk of cancer and death.

The tables can probably be challenged - I recall indications that the risks of long term low intensity exposure were overrated. But regardless of that, there will be a question of 'how high does the number for risk of getting cancer have to be before the judge decides the state has to pay compensation?

At least my AI girlfriend has real boobs,

Why are all the posters making this comment downvoted as troll? The part about the roundups is getting ahead of itself but I think the part where everyone is made permanently identifiable on the web in order to control them should be central t the discussion

It has happened under both.

but it isn't.

I suppose they want some combination of acquiring a broad skillset and showing it off. Just these robot games already have dozens of competitions going on.
And do they want robots that can run fast? I think so . As a kid I already imagined all terrain walking machines that could move real fast.

It is always propaganda but usually inspired by real events. In this case even that is not sure.

I only came because it'd been a long time.

Pretty sure they will be able to do it in 6s soon, about what the fastest mammals can do.

At 4.5 seconds you're accelerating at 1G on average, and you're running so there would be an air phase. So the design will have to start paying special care to grip.

But parent post's remark would be statistically relevant.

The reason people go for less effective filters is that it takes less force to push air through them, which lets you put more air through it with the same force/noise. The filters have a similar particle profile, they are all very good at stopping tiny particles and very good at stopping larger particles, and comparatively worse at particles between 0.1 and 0.3 microns. It's just that a HEPA grade filter stops 99.7% or more of those hardest particles, whereas a MERV 13 filter (the most common furnace-grade throughput-optimized filter grade) stops 85%.

People who haven't looked into it probably imagine that there exists some small size of particle which HEPA stops but non-HEPA filters let through. But that isn't so. All particles which gets stopped by one gets stopped by the other, the difference is just at what rate - and the smallest particles are actually easier to stop (something to do with Brownian motion)

Not anything with "ionization". Ionized air is a cute name for ozone. Ozone causes all the problems to your lungs that you clean air to avoid (well, except COVID infection I guess).

I wouldn't go for UV either since it either produces ozone or is quite bad to get exposed to depending on frequency range.

Get an air filter with high throughput. HEPA is standard, but many people argue that lower grade filters with higher throughput can be more noise efficient.

Hard to have sympathy with Elsevier, but this reeks of a failed COVID snake oil get-rich-quick schemer blaming someone else for not succeeding.

They deal with it by adding 'likely' in the conclusions.

I believe their conclusions though. But they also say 'significant signs of AI authorship' which is very stretchable and more cautious compared to other studies.

There were such people on TV too, if you watched the right (wrong) channels. Often music show hosts. The director wasn't prescient, he just was in touch with a trashy culture which hadn't quite hit mainstream yet.

That's interesting, because the main thing I've heard about him is that he did turn into a dickhole, having a reputation for being extremely cynical in his pursuit of clicks and profit and abusive to his staff.
