Having airworthiness certification done by an independent organization not beholden to Boeing's shareholders makes much more sense to me. Giving the authority to Boeing to do its own airworthiness certification feels like the fox guarding the hen house.
One health problem has me hitting 75% of my full-price, high deductible... and this doesn’t even include my much more intensive second surgery yet.
I'm confused, don't you want to reach your deductible as soon as possible? Isn't that when your insurance actually starts paying out?
Female circumcision is often more brutal, but I agree with the stance that any mutilation of children is bad.
No matter what you think about circumcision, elective surgeries should simply not be performed on children until they're old enough to make an informed decision about their own body.
There's no silver bullets here.
Because it's a trade-off, just like stability is, they're both software bugs in the end so mitigating them has similar pros and cons.
Who determines the specs?
This is a big difference with much of the U.S. and Europe, Japan doesn't subsidize car ownership as heavily. There is no on-street parking in the city, businesses aren't required to provide parking and if you want to own a car you first have to prove you have a parking space for it.
The problem is that a lot of people have a very binary view on life. Either something is a complete success or a complete waste of money, rarely do we accept that most projects fall somewhere in the middle.
I always found advertisements for AI to be so strange, why would you advertise your AI to the public as a danger for humanity that will also put everyone out of work? Such advertising would only appeal to sociopaths, but of course that's because it's intended to appeal to CEOs.
By that logic an abacus has human-like attributes. Just because it can simulate the processes involved does not mean it is at all practical to compute them.
Besides, LLMs are not a simulation of the physics involved in human consciousness to begin with.
I guess we're ready to blame anything but work hours, no one has time to take care of kids anymore. The correlation between industrialization and falling birth rates has long been established, but it's just shrugged off as a "that's just the way it is" rather than taking a serious look at the 8-hour work day.
Then stop using the roads and everything else that tax money paid for. If you keep using things that's been paid for using taxes the government will only feel more entitled to collect it.
It's mostly just about getting the data out of the news cycle. If you don't have new data on the oceans warming then there's no news story, so less pressure on Big Oil to greenwash their industry.
That stretch of ocean is closer to Canada than it is to mainland Europe.
Since very few types of plastic are actually recyclable most of it ends up being burned despite being separately collected, so I don't think you can simply discount the recycled plastic from the plastic waste being produced.
Because the startup is going to buy $2 billion worth of services from IBM.
When your labor force makes gains in productivity you can choose to do one of two things:
1. Reduce working hours 2. Grow the economy
Guess which option was last picked in 1868 and never again despite massive gains in productivity?
I learned what a crossover cable was as a teenager because I was in an electronics store buying an ethernet cable and I picked the cool-looking black-and-red cable. Then the guy behind the counter told me that the cool-looking cable I picked is a special cable and instead handed me a boring grey cable. :(
So the United States should step in because it knows better than our elected representatives? Are you sure you're on the side of democracy here?
You may not have complete immunity beyond 10 years though, so the recommendation is that you get a booster every 10 years.
But I don't see your point? Are you arguing that the COVID vaccine grants immunity for much longer than advertised? That seems unlikely given the mutation rate of coronaviruses.
This is not public scrutiny though, that comes from the public and their institutions. This is simply a nation meddling in the internal affairs of other nations.
You need a booster every 10 years to maintain immunity.
When did you get your last tetanus shot?
What's legal doesn't matter, it's their store, if they want to claim they own the word Pear too they can do that.
I think holding that kind of power over devices people own is problematic, but I seem to be in the minority here.
Personally, because I'd feel like a fraud, but perhaps that'll just be the new imposter syndrome.
If the AI comes up with better ideas, then why would you put yourself at a disadvantage? Especially if people consider it just another tool even if it did all the creative thinking.
You're assuming a level playing field, but what if better trained AIs are only usable by a select group of people wealthy enough to pay for it?
It's certainly going to exacerbate the advantage that wealthy kids going to elite universities have at becoming geniuses.
If the power saw also drew up the blueprints of the house and chose its design elements, then I'd say the power saw built the house.
The difference that makes AI more than just a tool is that it comes up with creative ideas, or at least plagiarizes them very well.
If you use an AI to generate all your work, then are you the genius or is the AI?
Usually the maintainer just moved on to other things and the project wasn’t important enough to them to formally hand over
Where is this pool of maintainers ready to take on any project that I can hand over my projects to?
How is closing the strait a continuation of a legacy of guaranteed safe passage?
