You're going to jump into Calculus 101 without 3 years of algebra? I probably would but I'm sure I would do terribly.

Zuckerburg is entirely responsible for all evils Meta creates and propagates - he's the founder, CEO and chairman of the board. Whatever the results are, ultimately the buck stops with Zuck.

The current state of dentistry under the NHS in the UK is much better than it was after the war. Post-war England had really bad teeth, which kinda set up this stereotype. Up until the 1980's about 1/3 of the population had no real teeth. The NHS (correctly) focuses on functional dental health, whereas in the US the focus is much more cosmetic. I'd say the US is more cosmetic to the detriment of functional health. If we compare the two,

"It's unclear why X seems to serve ragebait to Democrats more often than Republicans. 404 Media speculates that it may be because there's more rightwing content on X overall or that Democrats tend to engage with posts they disagree with more often. "

Sentiment analysis, behavioral segmentation, ie. ML stuff most data engineers can build doesn't look all that complicated until you start creating these kinds of feedback loops. If you describe the whole system as an algorithm, that kind of hides all the levers the business folks (or Elon) can pull to decide what kind of content comes next in the feed.
If I had to speculate, I would say given Elon's unabashed hatred of all things left-leaning, he's had the system tuned for maximum liberal rage creation. Add weight to this combination of behaviors and sentiments such that posts with certain other behaviors and sentiments are matched first.

Yeah TFA says maybe 120 troops are eligible.

They can do what they want, it's not their phone that's in drive mode.

Good point. Bacon, butter, and sugar were rationed first. Meat, tea, jam, biscuits, breakfast cereals, cheese, eggs, lard, milk, canned and dried fruit were all rationed afterwards to some degree.
Fresh fruit, vegetables were not rationed, although things like lemons and bananas were rare if any were available at all. Oranges were saved for pregnant women and children when available.
People were encouraged to, and did grow their own fruits and vegetables. Game like rabbits were not rationed, but during the war it probably came down to vermin more than game, especially in the city. If you were in the country, game was maybe not abundant due to pressures on the populations, but it could be had. Game was always an option in the countryside, so there wasn't as much problem with meat rations I imagine. But if you relied on the butchers shop for meat, you'd have to get in line and get your ration like everyone else.

Back to sugar though:
tea time. A lump of sugar is about 3 grams. One lump or two?
A teaspoon of sugar is about 3-4 grams. People who drink tea with sugar sometimes go 3-4 teaspoons, or 12 grams or so. That sweet tooth develops until everything needs a few tsp. of sugar. I don't know how strong the correlation there is, but sugar was not taken in moderation in the UK unless it was rationed. English dentistry can confirm that.

My Total Beets soft chews have 2 grams of sugar each. WTF. If there are in fact health benefits to beets, the sugar is probably negating them.

Every time I open Spotify I want to throw my phone on the floor and smash it with a hammer. They're cramming too much into that tiny UI, and most of it is not useful to me.
If there's a direct correlation between teens using Spotify and car wrecks, I'm not surprised.
Search requires two taps. You can tap search twice to get the search dialog directly, but doing that without looking at the screen is impossible.
Spotify supposedly has a full "Hey Spotify" voice assistant, but I can't figure out how to enable it on the current version.
Phones don't really have a driving mode afaik.
It should not be difficult to implement a driving mode on phones. Detect that the user is driving - the phone is connected to the car's ICE system via bluetooth, the car is moving == driving mode - no screen interaction, voice interaction only.

I just had a doctors' appointment (real doctor ahem, not a Certified Spine Adjuster) and the nurse had to ask me if it was ok that the doctor used an AI tool to take notes. Of course I said OK. The doctor also started googling? drug interactions while we were talking. I could see the screen ffs. I've already asked Gemini about those drug interactions, I'm looking for an EXPERT opinion. Nope, just Gemini coming from a doctor's mouth.
That said, I use Claude for every flipping thing I can think of at work, because they told us to. It's a magnificent engineering partner.

Amazon has hydraulic shears to slice the spine off the whole book in one go and then suck it into the machine.
I wonder what they did with the pages afterwards? Probably straight into a dumpster. Maybe your next Amazon package will be made of 100% recycled rare book?

These companies have the capital to build wearable BCIs. There are a lot of brain monitoring devices on the market right now, mostly medical, some consumer. The medical devices are important for people with certain medical conditions, and so have a limited investment pool for innovation. These devices are custom and expensive, but they're feasible. Mass production of BCI's is only looking for a use-case, and big tech's use case is always some kind of exploitation of human attention. Google, Meta, Snap etc have always been trying to alter the way humans behave fundamentally so they can find and optimize revenue streams. The impact on humanity is an afterthought, if that.

Do you wear Apple Airpods(TM)? The first Google Glass prototypes were 7-pound backpack units, then Android phones strapped to the side of the user's head, then the size of a pair of glasses. That's just computing density, though. Now I'm not saying the tiny batteries and magnets in a set of Airpods could scale up to fMRI sensing equipment, but I'm not saying they can't either.

Even traveling near light speed, the stars would take an awful long time to appear to move from their positions on this map. You would see redshift and strange magnification effects as you looked around you, but you would not be seeing objects move unless you were traveling very nearby them. How different would this map look from your view from the nearest star system 4.24 light years away? I mean looking back towards our solar system you'd see .. our solar system, but most of the sky map would have shifted very little. AFAIK, I'm no cosmologist.
