I research various human cellular pathways and treatments as a hobby.

AI seems to not "piece" ideas together.

For example, let's say:
* paper #1 suggests that compound X activates pathway A
* paper #2 suggests that activation of pathway A will then also activate pathway B.

If I ask AI, what compounds activate pathway B, it is very unlikely to tell me compound X as a possibility.
(bringing together research from both papers)

In the example, giving $8.10 makes sense in case they want change of a quarter, instead of a dime and a nickel (along with the dime already in their pocket). Most people rather have larger value coins than an array of a bunch of small value coins. A handful of dozens of pennies in change would be rather annoying to most people.

AI will probably decrease menial\redundant work, and will probably actually increase jobs, as organizations will just demand more. Similar to what the invention of spreadsheets did to the accountant field.

GOLDSTEIN: When the software hit the market under the name VisiCalc, Sneider became the first registered owner, spreadsheet user number one. The program could do in seconds what it used to take a person an entire day to do. This of course, poses a certain risk if your job is doing those calculations. And in fact, lots of bookkeepers and accounting clerks were replaced by spreadsheet software. But the number of jobs for accountants? Surprisingly, that actually increased. Here's why - people started asking accountants like Sneider to do more.

SNEIDER: You could play the what-if game, you know, what if I did this instead of that?

I don't understand why anyone doesn't get a perfect score on the ACT test. I took it as a kid, and it was long, but very easy. SAT on the other hand has questions that you wouldn't know in real life. For the SAT they might as well be asking you what's 1,000 digits of pie, that is something you wouldn't know unless you studied for it.

lol...

A hybrid has a different engine from a regular ICE vehicle. A hybrid has an over 200v main battery, to completely stop\start the engine at any time during a drive. (Whereas an ICE has a "starter", then idles the engine when stopped). A hybrid also has regenerative braking, which charges the battery. My old ford truck would get about 12mpg, where as my older prius gets around 40mpg.

Unfortunately, plugin hybrids, as of 2024, have terrible reliability ratings...
I recommend either non-plugin hybrid, or full EV, for now.
Hopefully, plugin hybrids will get better in the future.
The other problem with plugin hybrids are their owners. Many owners don't actually plugin their vehicle, which may likely be a big part of the reliability issue, as plugin hybrids are meant to be plugged in, and not just always use gas.

Tell that to single men that choose to have a 12-cylinder car, instead of having a mortgage...

Personally, I'm the opposite, where I'm mainly concerned that a car "can" go from 0-60. (I have a prius...)

Reading the apps reviews, like borrowing up to $1,000, but having to pay back $1,700 USD full amount ($700 USD interest) after only (7) days later.

Reviews:

The company says that terms vary. However, the below review seems extreme interest:
"The cons: They lend you very little, they only give you 7 days to pay and the interest is EXAGGERATELY HIGH. They lent me $600 and I paid 1,022.00"

Many years ago, my friend's dad was ran over by a car and almost killed by a union thug shortly after he declined joining the union. I'd hope that now a days, that mafia control of unions is less than it used to be...

Ha ha ha.

Um, yeah, the word "billion" is missing, as in it should be "134 billion transistors".

Here's a better summary:
"The new M2 Ultra, built using 5nm technology and featuring 134 billion transistors, will feature 24 CPU cores, up to 76 GPU cores (there’s also a 60-core option) and a 32-core Neural Engine. The CPU consists of 16 next-gen high-performance cores and eight high-efficiency cores.
One major change, too, here is that the M2 Ultra supports up to 192GB of unified memory, backed by 800GB/s of memory bandwidth.
All of this means the new chip’s CPU performance is up to 20% faster compared to the M1 Ultra and its GPU performance is up 30%, with the Neural Engine now 40% faster than the M1 Ultra’s. That’s enough power to train and run a large language model without a dedicated GPU, Apple says.
The new chip will also be able to support up to six Pro Display XDRs. That’s over 100 million pixels."

Human inflammation levels have risen for various reasons, especially environmental reasons.

Install latest bios and firmwares, backup any needed data\files, then install Chrome OS Flex. It's ChromeOS, but for non-chrome devices. Of course, device\driver support is hit or miss, but it can be installed onto most PCs or Mac.
