Many things wrong there. The benefit was a few months, not decades. Also, that's a small sample size and furthermore they seem to admit it wasn't a double blind study. "A double-blind design was planned, but due to the rapid progression of the disease, a survival of 3years or more was considered as a success factor (30, 31)."

That sentence doesn't make much sense.

Also: "Following this enrollment evaluation, consultation was done by a clinical dietician and then, if the patient agreed to participate, the ketogenic diet was initiated. " Umm .. that sounds like patient self selection, maybe the patients willing to do the keto diet took care of themselves other ways too?

Biggest issue is the small sample size, but it seems the patient selection process may have been wonky too.

The new system is simply another set of inputs. You will still get search results even if you don't click on anything. In fact, I would bet that actual user interaction with this new system is going to be very small. Most of the input that Google will get will be people trying to game the system.

I didn't even know about Kagi. In fact, it has been a long time since I have even considered using someone besides Google. I just resigned myself to the idea that things were forever broken. Thanks for the insight.

The male/female ratio in China isn't that skewed, it's something like 106:100. A lot of it is probably the same thing you see in every other country, where both men and women lose social skills and have unrealistic standards of what kind of partner they are entitled to.

Right-wingers have been loudly cheering the inevitable economic downfall of California for years as its economy continues to grow. It must be so infuriating to them that Commiefornia just keeps getting richer.

"After 9 years as a US citizen, he could run for the US Senate. He would be 76 (or 74) years old.In short, it looks highly unlikely that he could (or even would) run for the US Senate."

Yeah, he would be way too young for our Senate.

The quote was from the Bavarian government guy, so it seems unlikely that he's concerned about Waymo's competitive worries.

Also, German regulators are very cautious, so I expect Tesla's camera-only and less-mature robotaxi service will have a harder time getting approved.

Well, given that Waymo has been testing for nearly 20 years and been operating commercially for six years, currently operating nearly 4000 vehicles in 11 cities doing 500k rides per week... there's not a lot of risk.

Roads in Munich aren't terribly different from roads in US cities. Stoplights work a little differently. Munich does get a little snow, but rarely very much and it almost never lasts long. If Waymo's vehicles can't deal with it they may just suspend service... though I expect they'll probably handle it fine. They're supposed to go live in Detroit and Minneapolis this year, and if they can handle the weather there (where just shutting down for snow is not an option), Munich will be no problem at all.

So, not much like OceanGate.

Is there any proof that his approach actually was responsible for keeping those patients alive? I mean, where are the controlled studies. It's possible that pancreatic cancer patients survive 6 years. I mean statistics show that pancreatic cancer has a 5 year survival rate of 13%. So basically if you randomly chose 10 pancreatic patients at diagnosis time, one would likely survive past 5 years. As for glioblastoma .. decade survival is 1 in 100, but I'd like to see specifics of that, and why the method hasn't attracted mainstream studies to back up the findings. Provide a link to the studies.

I asked Claude and this is what it said: Both Waymo and US transit are far safer than human-driven cars, but they're hard to compare directly because they report in different units. Transit buses run about 0.09 deaths per 100M passenger-miles and passenger rail about 0.19 â" and most rail deaths are trespassers, not riders; for actual passengers rail is closer to 0.015, making it the safest ground mode. Cars kill at roughly 70x the bus rate and 20x the train rate per passenger-mile. Waymo, through 220M+ driverless miles, shows about 90% fewer serious-injury crashes than matched human drivers and zero passenger deaths, but that mileage is still too small to statistically establish a fatality rate. Rough ordering for rider fatality risk: trains â buses â Waymo, all far below human-driven cars â" with Waymo carrying the widest error bars since transit has decades of data and Waymo has ~3 years at scale. Note the numbers exclude crime on transit and the walk to the stop, which favor door-to-door Waymo in practice.

I feel bad for entry-level folks -- though continually surprised how many of them outsource so much of their thinking to AI themselves. It seems like most college students cheat with AI, making them less useful as entry-level employees.

Never skip medication day.

PS> Waymo has millions of miles of safe autonomous driving in multiple cities with dense pedestrian and vehicle traffic that prove its safety: https://waymo.com/safety/impac...

The recording engineer only records (and maybe mixes) the audio that is generated, which is part of what I meant by "mechanical process", along with generating the audio. Dre could use AI to transform his ideas into digital audio tracks, obviating the recording engineer and the performers, and to then select and mold the results. This would still require talent and creativity, which was my point.

The only thing that can stop self driving cars is taxi unions, delivery drivers, basically people trying to preserve their jobs at the expense of lives lost. The technology itself works really well, and that's with all the obstacles and naysayers trying to block it before it even has a chance. If we evaluated based on what's the safest .. self driving car safety is miles ahead of any human ALREADY https://waymo.com/safety/impac... And that's with people actively trying to block it from getting developed. People who said self driving cars are impossible looking out for their own prophecy trying to block themselves having to eat crow.

Caldera didn't buy SCO.
