If the Kessler Syndrome occurs the fundamental cause is the existence of "fragment mines" -- massive bodies that will persist in orbit a long time and continually shed new fragments as they are bombarded. That is what this article is talking about.
We have recently had Big AI (yeah, we which start calling it that) admit that their models produced copyright violating output, not surprising when you use copyrighted information for training. I image corporations are going to be very leery about allowing sensitive proprietary data be sucked into publicly accessible models. Their competitors will hit the models with advanced prompt engineering to exfiltrate that data for their own perusal.
Business data would be great for building models that the business itself will find useful (this is being done internally now) but it is not clear how that can make public general purpose models perform any better.
But would you fear a Zuckbot turning MechaHitler and murdering you in you sleep?
Instead of Musk and Zuckerberg in an Octagon proving something... not clear what exactly... it can be their humanoid bots! Based on current evidence expect the action to be rather... slow.
YouTube says this feature will appear when you are listening to mixes and radio stations.
It may just yammer at you annoyingly with AI misspeaks between songs and not during them.
Some here are claiming that "you are not the customer, you are the product". This applies only to people who are listening to YouTube for free, and are already getting hit with commercials. It you pay for YouTube Music (if they are still calling it that, it is hard to keep up) then you really are the customer, not the product.
If this annoying "feature" gets turned on (and cannot be permanently turned off) then my YouTube Music subscription goes away.
The Hale telescope mirror was held at pouring temperature for a month, then cooled over 10 months.
I have one of these too! And yes it still works perfectly 40 years after I bought it.
Back in the 1980s we found Panasonic products to be consistently high quality and when we shopped for some product-type seeing one with "Panasonic" on it usually made the sale. They seemed to fade from the market in the 1990s.
"A good deal of that shrinkage was up, not down." A bullshit lie.
The game the rightwingnutjobs and their patrons employ is to set an extremely low bar for measuring the well being of the bottom tier. Despite real per capital GDP increasing 2.5 fold since 1975, and doubling since 1985, the real income of the lowest decile has barely budged. But since it hasn't actually decreased the plutocrat apologists assert there is no problem at all, since according to this one metric "nobody is getting poorer".
A related game is to portray the poor as actually not being poor at all since they "have stuff" - like a TV and a microwave, as it those were still luxury items like they were 60 years ago.
The part about smoothies (and fruit juices) vs whole vegetables ( and some of the arguments about finely ground foods in general) are about glycemic index. i.e. how quickly the sugars in it hit your bloodstream.
There is a big problem with using the glycemic index as a tool for diet planning. It is a thing, it can be measured, but is it really a relevant thing in the diet for the large majority of people? The rush to found diet plans on the glycemic index was based on assumptions about what effect it probably has on people, not on actual evidence by studying people and their diets. A large meta-analysis of studies found:
The strongest intervention studies typically find little relationship among GI/GR and physiological measures of disease risk. Even for observational studies, the relationship between GI/GR and disease outcomes is limited. Thus, it is unlikely that the GI of a food or diet is linked to disease risk or health outcomes. Other measures of dietary quality, such as fiber or whole grains may be more likely to predict health outcomes. Interest in food patterns as predictors of health benefits may be more fruitful for research to inform dietary guidance.
Glycemic index based diet planning is planning based on a 40 year olf hypothesis, not actual evidence of usefulness. The actual evidence is that it means nothing for most people's health. But hey! is a single number to judge food so "easy"!
The other player here is ASML which supplies TSMC's fab tech. How do they fit into this equation?
The moniker "PC" to refer to an "x86 IBM-compatible" came about in the 90s.
Definitely not. It was in wide use in 1983.
Here is PC Magazine: The Magazine for IBM Compatibles , its actual name, from November 1983.
Beavers had also been eradicated in New England during the 17th century, hunted to extinction for their pelts, but were reintroduced in the early 1990s.
Also any place that it was introduced to (the Americas) during the age of globalization (i.e. after Columbus) it is an exotic species and not going to be key in the natural environment.
The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
