Is it reasonable for them to keep their own local snapshots?

That’s not a trivial amount of work and data, particularly it it’s multimedia.

It’s a very Roddenberry design.

It is an online poll. You also have to consider that some people don’t care/want to be funny, and so either choose randomly, or choose the most nonsensical answer.

I thought that this is just confirmation of other studies? We knew that it exacerbates underlying mental conditions, especially in those underage.

It pretty much is, though I think this study is unusual in that it suggests that the effect may be independent of socioeconomic factors.

Though the authors do admit that there may be a bidirectional link at play, which is quite interesting, and relatively novel, off the top of my head. You’re at higher risk for schizophrenia or psychosis if you use marijuana, but you’re also more likely to use marijuana if you’re at higher risk for schizophrenia or psychosis. A lot of prior studies established the links individually, but didn’t combine them.

I don’t think I have met the crowd you refer to.

There are a few dotted throughout this thread, laying the blame on other things than the hasis.

They did. One of the variables they statistically controlled for in the study is the “neighbourhood deprivation index”, which represents socio-economic living factors.

It’s pretty difficult for it to go wrong in a way that isn’t just nothing happening.

The eyes don’t just grow randomly, you need to give the brain blob a chemical signal that grows eyes in-utero to make the eyes grow.

There’s also the question of why would it experience horror? It’s not exactly in pain, and they way they make the eyes grow is just to add the hormone signal that makes eyes grow when developing.

So from its perspective, it just got told to make eyes, so it has rudimentary eyes now. Hardly the most horrifying existence.

perhaps some people have eyes in their brains and just don’t know it.

Your eyes technically are part of your brain.

But it’s certainly not unheard of. Parietal eyes have existed for a good while now.

I wonder if they do. That seems like a lot of effort to go to for the average person for a scammer.

It seems easier to have a generic voice, rely on the fact that phone audio quality isn’t great to bridge the gap, and use a shotgun approach.

Some places do, since there were a few high profile attacks, but they were nearly all targeting organisations by pretending to be the CEO or something.

Quite surprising that it’s based on state law, rather than something that’s mandated by the US Federal government. Employers being able to forbid their employees from having lunch unless their particular state, or medical requirements force their hand does not seem like a legal thing.

It does track, since the US was also one of the few countries that does not consider food to be a mandatory right (their official justification here), but still.

So prices may not actually drop, (even after the pop), because the companies still won’t be producing more hardware than they currently are.

There’s also the risk that they simply may not drop the price even after, because the customer base can bear that price, so it becomes the new normal.

Or for things like video editing. Video editors tend to be quite RAM heavy.

Though this is more targeting retrieval-assisted generation (RAG) than the training process.

Specifically since RAG-AI doesn’t place weight on some sources over others, anyone can effectively alter the results by writing a blog post on the relevant topic.

Whilst people really shouldn’t use LLMs as a search engine, many do, and being able to alter the “results” like that would be an avenue of attack for someone intending to spread disinformation.

It’s probably also bad for people who don’t use it, since it basically gives another use for SEO spam websites, and they were trouble enough as it is.

Delivery might be part of it. The advice sounds very similar to the typical “if you want to be less depressed, just don’t be depressed” or “you don’t need bottle of something that rattles, you need a pair of sneakers and fresh air” business, so a lot of people automatically file it away under the same category.

Something like what the researchers suggested, where even moving a little bit helps, and it doesn’t replace medication, though it may make it more effective, is better, but a lot of people will just read the headline and move off.

now they quit supporting old windows?

That’s not too surprising, since Microsoft stopped supporting it earlier this year.

Not much point supporting an OS the manufacturer no longer updates in any capacity. Similar to how Firefox no longer supports Windows XP or Vista.

You can still use the old version, they’re just not going to bring the newer ones to Windows 7, or fix issues for it.

For Toyota, it’s both. Both the hybrid and plug-in hybrids use the same drivetrain, except the PHEV/Prime versions have more powerful motors, so they can power the car at higher speeds than their hybrid counterparts are. Honda’s newer hybrid/plug-in hybrid drivetrain uses something similar.

You’re thinking of the one Nissan uses in their cars. They have a similar setup to a diesel-electric locomotive (engine drives generator, which powers the motor to drive the wheels).

With the Toyota kind, it’s both, but they have a special transmission/eCVT for it, rather than just bolting a motor to the driveshaft.

The motor’s also responsible for the engine gearing in that case.

The PHEV just uses a beefier motor, so it doesn’t need the engine to move the vehicle.

It will leave quite the impression upon him.

It’s the same process. Mpv uses yt-dl or yt-dlp on the back end when loading YouTube videos from the URL.
