What about studies that indicate the possibility of quantum effects within the brain?

Well this is just classic medicine. If you go to an internist with an issue, they will try to address it with medications. If you go to a surgeon, they will try to address it with surgery (or do exploratory surgery to try and figure it out). Each works within their own area of expertise. My 94 year old grandma had a lump that was breast cancer. The surgeon wanted to do a full mastectomy at her age, which was ridiculous. Meanwhile the oncologist said, no, let's do a less invasive lumpectomy because I better know what her long-term prognosis is and what other tools (hormone therapy and the like) are available.

This is just a classic thing, and hopefully you have a general practitioner that is involved and can help make informed decisions, or you do that task yourself weighing the options.

These studies need to be taken with a big grain of salt. Essentially what this did was provide to AI and two test doctors the clinical data entered by a nurse who examined the patient, and based off that limited text information the AI tended to do better. The thing is... doctors see patients themselves, even in the ER. They ask their own questions, physically examine the patient, and collect their own data. So it is no surprise a doctor, given only limited 3rd party data, didn't make as good of a diagnosis when they aren't used to working that way.

Next thing is this: "game out thorny diagnostic questions". Okay, so what they mean by "thorny" is obscure and not your typical cases. So again, its no wonder a physician, given less than normal information and no opportunity to see the patient, didn't catch some rare atypical case. When strep is making the rounds, and a patient comes in with a sore throat and no other abnormalities, they will probably diagnose it as strep, and may not even bother doing a test. That's the way ER doctors work, and they don't look for some exotic other thing that could be causing the sore throat based on something obscure way back in the patient's medical records. Unless it was called to their attention.

This is still a ridiculous statement. The blocking of the straight can stop overnight, and it's gone. Done. Everything flows again immediately. It can be undone. A nuclear detonation cannot be undone. If the straight is blocked long enough then interventions will happen, and not just by the United States.

With the exception of the suffering of the Iranian citizens, and the world paying a little more to drive around in their cars, this is a GOOD thing. Countries in the middle east have been lazy and naive to not develop alternate routes for the straight. This event will prompt them to finally invest in that kind of infrastructure.
Global oil consumption is predicted to begin decreasing soon, and then these countries in control of the world's oil supplies will begin to lose influence quickly. These events also push countries and consumers away from oil, thus speeding the conversion to electric cars, and additional investment in solar and storage.

A lot of people are completely ignoring the religious zealot fervor of Iran's leadership, and are being very ignorant to how motivated their are due to their religious beliefs. I guess for non-religious individuals, or those who belong to much more peaceful religions, it is difficult to understand their motivation and just how bad they want to kill certain other people. Iran's ability to strangle the world's oil supplies and threaten the region with force needed to be dealt with at some point.

This is a terrible headline. Really one of the worst in a while, but it's actually The Guardian's fault as that is their headline as well. This is not encouraging people to use more power, but telling them WHEN they should use power. "It's windy and sunny right now, quick, wash your clothes and charge your car!"

Sounds like they had two things going on. First was enabling the content to be part of the notifications themselves. Second was never actually clearing out the notifications. Just checked and I have a couple hundred uncleared notifications from my mom's front doorbell camera. I don't know what the actual limit is but it is definitely in the hundreds that iOS will maintain.

I just put a new touchpad in my Lenovo P15v and it was an ordeal. First of all, Lenovo doesn't have the part (not the original, nor the two alternative parts they list) , so I went with an aftermarket replacement part that is working like crap and I will have to replace yet again. The repair is was what I consider a major repair job. Had to fully remove the entire mainboard, which means thermal paste needed to reassemble, etc, in order to replace the touchpad, which is a mechanical part that will wear out in time (for example clicking down on it wears out eventually). And this is on a "workstation grade" laptop.

If only Lenovo wasn't the only company I can find with a laptop keyboard that is acceptable to me (dedicated PG UP/DOWN keys and dedicated Home / End keys), I'd like to try something else at some point.

Last time I checked, my vehicle is not a legal entity that can be cited for infractions. Whatever person is sitting behind the wheel of that vehicle is not known by a camera. I can't believe these things haven't been totally obliterated in court. In my state, the tickets you get from these things are actually from 3rd parties contractors who run them, and try to sound very official, but they are not actual summons through a court.

It absolves them of liability. If there is a law they have to validate age (even if it is ineffective and easily worked around by minors), and they are doing whatever silly thing they need to do to be compliant, then they have shielded themselves from liability.

By being involved in the process they can steer things to something easy and affordable to implement on their end. Make it work the way they want to (scan an ID, have AI look at their face, DNA test, measure their height - whatever method they're specifically wanting to do is why they are funding this and pushing for it).

From what I see, Iran is completely offline at this point, right?

And maybe that's exactly what the creators of that malware want you to think.

Serious question, why haven't they architected something better than GPUs for running inference? Surely something specifically designed for the task that could do it faster using less power? Something like Groq ASIC (that's just one I've heard of). Why aren't these the future and eclipsing the stop-gap that is GPUs because they already existed and were the best fit at the time?

AI made the code fully type-safe, implemented buffer overflow checks, verifying all parameters in and out, and the perfectly-running result can't fit into the memory of an Apple II or onto a floppy disc...
(I just made that up, but I'm sure the code is much larger after adding all the security and boundary checks)

Everyone agrees, they want the biannual time change to go away.

On the other hand, there is almost an even split on which way to go about it. About 50% want it to always be DST, the rest want the opposite. So you're going to permanently tick off half the population depending on which way you go with it.
