I don't know about monkeys, but a similar experiment with rats and morphine water is well known.

You think marijuana is more deadly than alcohol? I call bullshit. You'll have to provide a source for this claim.

you would have thought that anyone who passed grade school english would know enough to put a clear description of what a digital twin is but no this is the internet
so if you click on the motor trend link, you get, as is now SOP on teh web all sorts of useless words before they bother to tell you what a DT is and then

it is merely a new word for a fancy CAD file
probably has to do with battles over who gets the money among people who sell CAD software

The term for this is enshittification.

Most Germans speak English. If they are programmers, it's a given. I would always read "Misty" as an English term and not associate it with "Mist".

Investing in early stage companies using their product is incredibly logical. They're well placed to evaluate the likelihood of success for their investments, and they can help to nurture the nascent technologies which use ML acceleration hardware. This gives NVIDIA deep insight into how their tech ecosystem should be evolved, and enables use cases that should bring other players in these industries from hardware platforms like x86 and arm/risc to GPU accelerated hardware platforms, growing their core market. If just a handful of their investments work out, this will make them far more than the investments cost. Considering the present NVIDIA valuation, snapping up ownership in small startup companies is a great bargain.

Those cars are sold in Europe as well. The GDPR is useless if no one enforces it.

The design is to reduce cognitive load. It let's you better focus on the road. Everything else is a welcome byproduct.

So maternal mortality has gone up? It's a national shame.

The abstract says that the Y-chromosome has a 62,460,029-base-pair sequence. How long are the fragments that can now be sequenced?

My proudest moments are those when I was able to remove three or five thousand lines of code while keeping all the features.

On one side this would make a lot of sense, though I fear that the end result of that would just be that the big companies would scoop up a lot of works for free, put their watermark on it and resell it. Public domain after all is not copyleft. While the average small author, who is busy with other aspects of their life would end up forgetting to renew their copyright and have their works slip into the public domain against their will. Meanwhile big companies would have somebody on staff to auto-renew things to eternity. And it might not even help in cases like this, since this work is not abandoned, it was removed on purpose. They can make it available again for one hour on each new years eve and put it back into the vault after that to keep their copyright.

Tricky to word such legislation that it actually end up benefiting the public and not just end up as an all-you-can-eat-buffet for the content hording companies. The people controlling the content distribution channels would be the ones to benefiting the most here.

I'd prefer a blatant "copyright lasts 20 years", as that puts everybody on equal footing and means currently created works had a chance to slip into the public domain in our lifetime.

That only works as long as the servers you want to move between are cooperating with each other. The moment they stop that, you have the same issue as with we have right now with Reddit switching of the free API. Also in the Fediverse you are still user@server, your identity does not belong to you, it belongs to whatever server is hosting it (lemmy, mastodon, etc.). If you want to actually move over to another server, you have to create a new identity.
