It may not change much as far as researching a treatment or cure goes, but it may help with other stuff, like being better prepared for the future, like organizing a health care worker or getting family members to help out or to look out for you, and other stuff, which you might not be able to do at a later stage of Alzheimers.

While there aren't any cures yet, certain treatments and lifestyle strategies may slow its progression, keep quality of life as long as possible and stuff like that for as long as possible. (And the sooner you start with that, the better)

Tab Groups combined with Vertical tabs makes for a pretty awesome experience

TLDR: Google is bad, here's how to delete your Google account. BTW, looking for a better google now? Use our stuff since we just convinced you to delete your Google account! "Ditch your spam filled mailbox and delete Gmail now! We have a better alternative - Tuta Mail."

Yeah, something tells me they're not completely altruistic about this even though I get where they're coming from.

Being a layman too, as I understand it, it's because the deafness is caused by a single (mutated) gene which makes it (comparatively) easy to change. In this case, because the altered gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene transfer therapy can introduce a normal copy of the gene to recover the function of the protein.

For other diseases caused like this you're mostly right on the money - sometimes because while a single gene might be the culprit, the mechanism is unknown, sometimes mutations in some ‘single-gene disorders’ may not be in a single-gene at all, not to even mention other possible interactions or the risks inherent to gene therapy.

How some of these edible charms are described makes me think they were sorta like tablets or edible vaccines, except faith-based.

Unless someone actually used them as medicine and then just perscribed faith-based/supernatural powers to them (so people wouldn't complain/accuse them of being witches)

With pens and corrals, the animals can be moved naturally from one point to another, following the one ahead of them. There are specific ways to design facilities to move animals through slaughterhouses naturally. In some places they're still being used though.

Your product is cool. Now what? How would you monetize it, or sell it?

If you did, what's the competition like? Can you carve out a niche for yourself?

...Now that you're properly discouraged - can you overcome all those challenges? If you can, calculate how much effort(look: money) it would take to do make your product into a money-making product; something you can sell...

...And then decide whether it might just be worth trying, even if the chances are small, even if you need to buckle up and work like a horse.

The problem is also that intelligence isn't on some kind of a line where a specific test tells you that you're closer to a base amount of intelligence needed for sentience. It's a whole bunch of things combined in some yet to be defined way that ends up allowing for the development of intelligence.

As for GPT-4 - it can't even recognize for itself whether data is good or bad, and it can't even recognize that it doesn't know something; IMO right now it's still basically just a black box that takes an input and produces a statistically matching output. A very good one, but still.

If you're the one with the 3-4 load, can you rely on the company to hire more people?

For the worker, the solution is to find a job with a smaller load. For the company, it's to either to find more people to join or to convince the person who manages the high load to stay on as long as possible.

Sometimes, however, you don't even get a full article text when the paywalled site loads. In those cases, no amount of Scroll Into View will help.

For those cases try something like Google Cache or Wayback Machine! It still won't always work, but it's nevertheless got a pretty good success rate.

I mean, it would make sense, like Meta Facebook, Meta Oculus VR, etc.

Good or bad, the ones at the top have to be responsible for whatever happens under them or the buck just gets passed around, and if we don't even know where to point the finger, they don't have an incentive to be better.

A naming convention like this, while a bit stupid, would be better than having to look up who bought/owns/(is a subsidiary of) whom.
