Reply to comment by JackD4wkins in Scientists discover how cancer cells evade immune system by BousWakebo
I looked at that PNAS paper and it's pretty good, but isn't necessarily a substitute for cancer immunotherapy. The killing here is subject to transduction efficiency from lentivirus, which won't be 100%. You can see it in their data, that therapy doesn't clear the tumor.
Can potentially be very useful when used with cancer immunotherapy as a memory response is what is most likely to full cure the cancer.

The solution is to redirect a portion of ruling class wealth back to workers by increasing their wages and not increasing prices, eliminating (in the us) tax caps on wages, adding a wealth tax, increasing immigration, moving Medicare into a comprehensive universal healthcare system with its own funding, etc, not stealing more years from working people.

They are selling their own work. There’s only so many ways you can answer a question. Just because you’ve answered the question before, doesn’t mean someone else can’t come to the same conclusion when answering for themselves.

It's funny they note swear words in self help books because I couldn't find a single self help book without a swear word in it. I always bring one hardcopy book with me on vacation just in case I don't have power or internet for whatever reason and all the self help books had F*CK in the title (including that asterix).
But I don't agree with the article. I don't agree that everything is exactly the same only that they've picked things that are the same.
For example when they're talking about hipster coffee. Well, in my time in Thailand I only found one hipster coffee shop. It was this one (with a logo strikingly similar to Starbucks). But then, all the top coffee shops in the area don't look anything generic.
I think if you are looking for similarities in things you're going to find them. A lot of engineering and architectural costs are reduced by using models instead of having something individual. On my street theree are 24 single family homes. 12 of them have garages attached to their homes and 12 of them do not have garages attached to their homes. Other than that, they're identical shapes and aesthetics. There's differences in tiling, roofing, and fences.... but basically setup the same.
Where you find the differences are on the insides of the buildings. We decided we didn't need a huge main floor bathroom. So it's the size of a closet with one toilet and one sink. Instead we have a pantry and a large front closet. We had two large bedrooms and a large bathroom, most of our neighbors have one large bedroom, two small bedrooms and a small bathroom.
And that's really the same with their depictions of "identical cities." They look identical specifically because you have chosen an angle to try and make them look as similar as possible. But inside these cities it's quite different.

Reply to comment by tehrmuk in The European Union to nearly double the share of renewables in the 27-nation bloc's energy consumption by 2030 amid efforts to become carbon neutral and ditch Russian fossil fuels. by chrisdh79
Yes, basically that. If you cover most of your energy needs with nuclear, switching to renewables isn't really a win in terms of co2.
If it's the best strategy going forward remains to be seen, replacing the aging fleet of reactors at an economical reasonable prices will be a monumental task, and the situation with the lack of cooling water in summer won't get easier either.

It’s learning and using language to answer questions. There’s only so many ways you can answer the same question. Greed getting in the way of progress, as always. Guess professors should give a citation every time they give a verbal answer even though they are answering from memory.

It's scary when we look at the primary energy issue, compared with the renewable portion.
The good news is that it isn't as bad as it looks as that primary energy also includes the energy that goes to waste in creating it. All that waste heat leaving engines and smokestacks is a high portion of that primary energy.

Currently:
France: 40g gCO₂/kWh thanks to nuclear
Germany's Energiewende: 250 g — and it's a good day, they've been at around 400g most of the winter when there was no wind across Europe.

The world is becoming an outdoor cacophony of human nature sounds. The cricket guy and the songbird guy and the frog guy all make their noise, and they pretend they're spouting deep wisdom that the world needs to hear.
When you take your question to a web search, the web search takes you to a message board post. Strong chance it takes you to Reddit these days. OP asks the same question you ask, and then the internet responds with frog noises songbird noises cricket noises and then the question is considered to have been answered conclusively.
"Don't ask that question again, it has already been asked and it has already been answered!" -the internet, whenever you give them a chance for their legendary intellect to shine.

Reply to comment by CyberAchilles in How long do you think until AI can create full projects by itself with little to no human input? Like video editing, animation, programming? by PlayerofLifeandGames
Seriously, I just asked about AI’s potential to generate animation and edit videos using simple human instruction.
Why am I being attacked for COMPLETELY unrelated reasons?
SMG4 is a great content creator. They even make high quality content using low-budget means! They’ve also branched out into higher quality original content (Meta Runner, Sunset Paradise, Murder Drones).
I’m too dumb like SMG4’s version of Mario to use all that confusing video editing software.
Dreams for the PS4/PS5 is the closest thing I’ve seen to making creating digital content (including/especially videogames) accessible and understandable to the average person.
I’m basically asking about a potentially even more advanced and automated version of Dreams.
Yet, I’m attacked by environmentalist extremists.
Go protest mega corporations, not me.

Because logic is out the window when it comes to hypocrisy nowadays. If you think we should limit GHG emissions, you can’t use any form of energy. If you think Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine and commit genocide, then you cannot be a citizen of any country that has ever been in a war.

You signed over your rights to your content . when you signed up to reddit, or facebook, or google.
It's not like OpenAI is using some shoestring budget web scrapper using python and the beautifulsoup library.
They have partnerships .. and requested the raw text data.

I am familiar with how these transformers work and I'm not suggesting that anything is conscious here. Truthfully, I don't think we can create consciousness, if that's what you received from my post. The fact of the matter is that our nature of communication can be defined by matrices of probabilities and gpts illustrate this pretty damn well. Therefore, it stands to reason that other perceptive abilities & routines we may have as people can also be defined by matrices of probabilities, and enacted by something not human. Since you seem to be an expert in AI / ML, do you think this is true?

Never? Tomorrow? Something in between? Since there is no path from the current state of the art to there, it entirely depends on a paradigm shifting breakthrough occurring and there is no way to predict if or when one will happen.

It has to start with our morality first because that’s the only kind of morality that we know. And it may evolve from there.
