But what if the work is useful beyond just crunching numbers for the sake of proving it?

How would this network protect itself against spambots? Is there any sort of reputation system or barrier to entry that would be fine for an average user but annoying to bot operators?

Is this really transitioning into another AI company? It's an integration for having a 3rd party AI vibe code plugins for their hardware's interface.

I see quite a few male nurses too, except for in the birthing and family care suites when my wife gave birth. All women across the several days we were in hospital, with the exception of a few male OBs and lab techs.

We should make it the goal as a species. We have the resources and technology. We decide to be limited by economics.

The goal should be to provide every human being with the best care possible. If a system can't handle that, then we need to assess why and make changes.

Randy needed immediate psychiatric care, and as an emergency physician I knew the options. We put our trust in the mental health team at a local crisis receiving unit, and they kept Randy overnight in temporary safe housing where he could be observed. By morning they had devised a plan to transfer Randy to a retreat-like inpatient psychiatric facility that was in-network with our insurance. The psychiatrist felt Randy was very high risk, but that he could heal with eight weeks of inpatient treatment. We were told our insurance would cover it.

But six days into Randy’s eight-week hospital stay, our health insurance company denied any further inpatient care.

The facility appealed Randy’s case, providing psychiatrist’s notes that clearly outlined his need, but the outcome did not change. Because Randy had no prior history of mental illness, the insurance company determined he shouldn’t need to be hospitalized and stopped paying for his care. A day later Randy was forcibly discharged.

This is definitely a case where the insurance company holds the majority of the blame.

The ensuing months led to a rotating cycle of failed outpatient treatment programs followed by ER visits, brief admissions, and premature discharges. And Randy kept getting worse. He became so unstable with paranoid delusions and psychosis that he was not safe to be around me or the children. He never came home.

From TFA. This isn't someone who reasoned their way into suicide.

While I think responsible use of AI coding tools is possible, "working" is a low bar for software. Does it accomplish the intended function securely, performantly, with reasonable error handling?

I'll say it again. If these data centers are really going to be so profitable, then it should be easy to pay for closed loop cooling, self-built renewable energy and storage, noise and light mitigation, and still pay taxes. Attempts to dodge those is pure greed and people are right to fight back.

Given they're incentivized to increase token use, what guarantees that higher token use improves the effectiveness of the agent and isn't just artificial padding?

This talks about climate impacting the population, but it made me wonder if herd immunity to disease in an isolated population could cause population limiting diseases to go extinct after awhile.

Didn't Google recently remove the flag that let Manifest V2 ad blockers work from Chrome?

So we've got this problem of the atmosphere trapping too much heat from solar radiation hitting the surface and the plan is to increase the amount of solar radiation hitting the surface?

One advantage of our 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour clock is that it's easy to divide up days and hours into various equal parts since 24 and 60 are highly composite numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number

Maybe this would be ok with good consumer protection laws, but in some places honest reviews are the best hope you have of not wasting money on products that might fail some way or another.

"Every now and then, I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years have gone by"

Here's an alternative farming analogy: knowing how to program(and adjacent skills) is like understanding plant biology, climate, food demand, supply chains etc.

Code generators are like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Powerful stuff. Lots of production. Solved some big problems. But we're seeing new problems like soil depletion, runoff, decreased nutrition and knock-on effects like obesity.

To solve those problems will take lots of people with the right skills, not people ignorantly using the fertilizers and pesticides according to the profit driven manufacturers instructions.

Robert Lang recommends laminating tissue paper on one or both sides of kitchen aluminum foil to make “tissue foil”, which for years he considered the ideal origami material.

The sculptor Kim Beaton likes to champion foil as a "metal clay" for sculpting. Keep it full of air pockets and it's easy to shape. You can use hot glue to put parts together, and then cover it in other clays for fine details and coloring. She does quick demos for tour groups at Weta Workshop in New Zealand.

Tangential, but everyone can take part in reducing light pollution because it's well suited to local political action: https://darksky.org/what-we-do/advancing-responsible-outdoor...

I feel bad that I got mine just in time for my baby's birth so I'm several weeks into having it without playing any games! I need to see if I can use it for one handed gaming while cuddling.

This might be a way to adapt to radiation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosynthesis_(metabolism)

I wonder if anyone ever did the math on whether trying to maintain a barrier at the Darian Gap with occasional failures was really a better financial choice than teaming up with South American countries to drive screwworms to extinction.

What does being a powerful device mean in regards to location tracking? Safe operation tracking makes sense, but location doesn't.

Have you looked into third party firmware for your Echo? I just bought some used Echo Shows that others have figured out how to install LineageOS on.

On my linen button ups, if I don't iron the front gaps in very awkward ways.

Ticks want to be on your neck or in your hair more than anything, so long clothes can give them a route that you can't feel them crawling on.

Not every case of Lyme disease has said bruise, and there's other tick borne diseases that ticks pass to you faster post-bite and are harder to treat than early onset Lyme disease is.

The best is to never get bitten at all.

Because of industrial food chains making that possible. Before we could refridgerate and ship food all over, most of your calories came from seasonal foods, and summer is usually more bountiful than winter.
