They need something like this for colonoscopies.

If there was a way to test it at home, I'm sure a lot less people would die from colorectal cancer.

She "made it" by marrying a billionaire co-founder of Google. Then cheated on him with Elon Musk. Her husband then divorced her because of it and...

Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan's attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin's $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.

Yeah, she really represents the American Dream.

Meh. Your value as a human isn't tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

This whole thing of "striving as a honed skill" sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

You seem to think that unless you've done something, you're worthless.

It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

Yeah, that's why no one is having families anymore.

The last point has to come with a huge caveat. Some of those developing countries are pretty unsafe outside of resorts without a guide or a local that knows where you should and shouldn't go.

But she didn't say, "I hope she beats the fuck out of him". You're changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, "I hope he killed her."

That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women to a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it's hyperbole.

Your point is still taken, and it'd be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.

As long as they're working on it and not implementing it anytime soon, because the tech is definitely not there yet.

I honestly feel bad for deaf people who have to put up with the state of subtitles in all media. There should be some universal standards that all studios should be forced to adhere to.

It's amazing that there isn't. Where are the disability rights?

And of course, translated material just adds another layer of complexity. So imagine, an AI has to first capture the proper words being said, then translate it in context and understand obscure references the author might have made, etc... Yeah right... When AI can do that, then we'll really have artificial "intelligence".

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

And it’s not just energy. Generative AI systems need enormous amounts of fresh water to cool their processors and generate electricity. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a giant data-centre cluster serves OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-4. A lawsuit by local residents revealed that in July 2022, the month before OpenAI finished training the model, the cluster used about 6% of the district’s water. As Google and Microsoft prepared their Bard and Bing large language models, both had major spikes in water use — increases of 20% and 34%, respectively, in one year, according to the companies’ environmental reports. One preprint suggests that, globally, the demand for water for AI could be half that of the United Kingdom by 2027.

I mean, he was very polite and said please and even offered a reason why.

I'd probably give him just out of pity thinking he was going through some serious shit or was really high.

Question. Why would you go with 1tb ssds instead of larger hdds? Isn't the space and price more important than the speed for this use?

You could get double the space (2tb hdd) for the same price as a 1 tb ssd.

Just wondering.

What's a good site to compare cpus and gpus?

Myth 8 – Captain Cook was eaten by cannibals

The Hawaiian Islanders who killed Captain Cook (on Valentines’ day in 1779) were not cannibals. They believed the power of a great man lived in his bones, so they cooked parts of Cook’s body to easily remove them.

The esteem which the islanders nevertheless held for Cook caused them to retain his body. Following their practice of the time, they prepared his body with funerary rituals usually reserved for the chiefs and highest elders of the society. The body was disembowelled and baked to facilitate removal of the flesh, and the bones were carefully cleaned for preservation as religious icons in a fashion somewhat reminiscent of the treatment of European saints in the Middle Ages. Some of Cook's remains, thus preserved, were eventually returned to his crew for a formal burial at sea.

What part of any of these conspiracies are persuasive?

Can't that be fixed with coding? Like, people can still vote down the unpopular opinions, and the ones with the most downvotes shows up on top.

Shouldn't that be simple enough to do? Just make the posts with the most downvotes show up as if they were the most upvoted.
