Reviewing is on average about reading bad papers that won’t get accepted in great detail to try to figure out what’s actually going on.
At best, it tends to be reading solid work adjacent to your subfield which you can respect but aren’t really that into.
It’s pretty rare for it to be as useful to me as actually choosing something to read.
The closet we get to national pride is just being relieved we’re not American.
That’s one of the reasons it’s so good. Alien is perfect space horror. Aliens doesn’t try to match it but tells a different kind of story with some of the same characters.
There’s no way a serial liar and Nazi could ever tell lies about how much money he’s making.
Twitter was a money pit before the take over and Elon has run it into the ground. It must be bleeding money.
And if your grandmother had wheels she would be a bicycle.
Probably the best way to think about this is as stalling.
The administration can only get so much done before the mid terms provide a chance to block them. Just by fighting them on everything you reduce the amount they will do, even if you end up losing most of the initial battles.
This is something the Republicans have been really good at. Fight everything, prevent any progress, and play to your base. It would be nice if the Dems did the same for once.
This is one of those things where both are likely to be true. All webscale datasets have a problem with porn and csam, and it’s like that people wanting to generate csam use their own fine tuned models.
Here’s an example story. https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/news/investigation-finds-ai-image-generation-models-trained-child-abuse and it’s very likely that this was the tip of the iceberg, and there’s more csam still in these datasets.
It’s not road legal, but you can own one. If it came in on the back of a lorry, with the right paperwork, there would be no reason to stop it.
Oh shit, yeah. If you’re already on uppers from your doctor don’t go adding more uppers on top of that.
It’s been banned in Europe for 30 years. Can’t let cancer get in the way of profits.
I don’t know, Elon has extreme postmarital Twitter energy.
Big fan of just playing with a knife but it only works in remote meetings.
It’s a bit threatening if people can actually see your hands.
A university I worked at had a similar policy to the first one.
They wanted a single username and sign on across all IT systems but also had some really old legacy systems that didn’t support long passwords.
So they’d force everyone to use passwords that were exactly as long as the maximum legacy password length.
For me, the worst system is the Microsoft authenticator which locks me out my account for five minutes if my fingerprint doesn’t match the first time I try.
The irony is that if he’d just looked up how to build a fertilizer bomb on YouTube he’d have got much better advice.
There’s a couple of things to be said.
The evidence for most exercise programs is pretty flimsy. They all have problems with sample size -it’s hard to find people that will take up exercise that haven’t been already doing it, and here the evidence shows that it works about as well as you would expect another effective exercise program to do, rather than better.
It’s not HIIT. There’s no real on and off, it’s just 7 minutes of fairly consistent intensity. It’s also not that intense compared to say playing sport as a hobby. If you’re worried about injuries, you want probably want to avoid impacting movements, and ballistic movement, and there’s very little of that here. Probably the worst bit is the jumping jacks, which are still likely to be lower impact than going for a run.
A lot of what people think of as just being bone includes a lot of connective tissue, and small muscles.
Look at an x ray of a hand. https://radiopaedia.org/articles/hand-radiograph-an-approach
All of that which is not bone can expand, and probably will if you keep rock climbing. I used to take medium gloves as a teenager, grown to my full height, and after close to 20 years of judo on and off there’s no way I’m getting my hands in anything smaller than an XL, and even that’s a squeeze.
The same is true of your wrist, there’s a bunch of tendons and small muscles that run down the palm side of your wrist and they can get bigger and also your back. The shoulder blades might be bone but they just kind of float there and expand apart as you get stronger and bigger.
What you can’t do, without surgery, is get taller, and your fingers can’t get longer, but yeah, everything you’re talking about could get thicker with enough training. There are genetic limits on how big you can get, but as someone relatively untrained you’ll be very far from them
The 7 minute workout is pretty good. It’s scientifically been shown to work despite being short, and there’s a bunch of modifications to make the exercises more accessible if you find them too hard.
https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/a-z/seven-minute-workout
There’s a bunch of free apps that will talk you through the exercise if you want, or you can just find a YouTube video to copy along.
I think the easiest way to describe how it feels is it is like having a tooth taken out.
You’ve had it removed because the pain is too much, and now finally that pain is gone, but instead you’re sat there feeling puffy and swollen from the recent trauma, and you’re just constantly aware of this gap where there used to be something present.
Just like going to the dentist, it gets better though. And I’d do it again in a heart beat if I had to make the same decision.
This was real until very recently.
Compensation for the wrongly convicted could be reduced by the savings on room and board you get for being locked up. Given how much money people spend on rent in the UK, this could massively reduce the compensation received.
The new LLMs are smaller and more likely to run on hardware available in your country. After all they were developed despite the US chip embargo.
This also means the US might slow down on the new power stations and resulting climate change, but probably not.
Not sure the new tech will actually be useful though.
