It doesn't interact with ordinary matter nor the strong nor weak nuclear forces either, so it's not just light. The name "dark energy" was chosen in part to parallel the already-existing term of "dark matter." In the case of the latter, it really does mean "unknown" since dark matter might not actually be any form of matter at all, just a misunderstanding of gravity. Hence the choice of "dark" for "dark matter" was unfortunate first.

In hindsight, "dark" is an unfortunate word choice. It has always meant "unknown," not literally "dark" (as in the opposite of "light").

That being the case, I wonder why big companies haven't lobbied for national healthcare.

An LLM just strings words together plausibly. When it hallucinates, that's just our label for generating output that doesn't agree with reality. An LLM doesn't know what reality is.

The legislature could MAKE the laws apply suspension in a way specifically for self-driving cars.

.. there is a button for YouTube history where you can disable it if you don't want them needlessly collecting data about your watch habits.

How do you know that merely doesn't disable displaying your watch history to you but they keep track of it anyway?

I'm a huge fan of AI. I predict that it will help us solve previously intractable problems in science, engineering, medicine and maybe even politics.

Presumably you mean LLMs. LLMs cannot think; cannot synthesize new ideas; thus cannot solve unsolved problems. LLMs are not the path to AGI.

Eliminating the Electoral College and/or the First Past the Post election system would have been a good start. IMHO, a Parliamentary system stops the office of head of state from being a popularity contest.

How do you know Thunderbird doesn't monetize your data and charge you $9 for the privilege?

Probably not. The people that like AI slop are probably the same ones that watch shows like Ancient Aliens and a host of reality shows on the Discovery Channel in the US.

In the US at least, showing that you accrue temporary debt and pay it off improves your credit score.

Classical bits can store only one number at a time. They probably mean that that many qbits can store the amount of information in the universe simultaneously due to superposition.

I assume you mean buying groceries using credit cards and not paying off the balance in full thus paying interest. Personally, I buy everything including groceries using a credit card (via Apple Pay) and always pay off the balance in full. It's easier than dealing with cash and coins.

Not for me. It takes probably three times as long as with a pen on paper, but I make the effort in the rare case I personally need to verify that a signature is mine.

Hard falls aren't specific to women, of course. Plenty of men start out in engineering, they encounter calculus, discover that engineering is hard, and switch to something else less taxing.
