This is utter bullshit. There was always some human that came up with something first. When there was nothing like that before. AI technology we know does not have this ability. And never will. It is only data aggregation, nothing else. Human does not need data from other humans to be creative and the very fact that there was someone who climbed off of trees and picked up first fire is proof of that.

Reply to comment by JackD4wkins in Scientists discover how cancer cells evade immune system by BousWakebo
Aggressive cancers, such as those that are targeted by therapies like CAR-T cells or immune checkpoint inhibitors grow quite fast. I'm not arguing against multiple treatments, and probably it would improve responses, but are also likely to be insufficient to "cure" it, as the cancer cells not destroyed will continue to grow (at worst at a log phase) and you may never quite reach zero. Only a small number of cells need survive to continue growth of the tumor.
Moreover, one notable advantage for CAR-T cell or TIL therapies is that when patients respond very rapidly, there is little time for the tumors to develop escape mechanisms. After clearance there is also often immunological memory that can maintain clearance or control of subsequent growth.
Keep in mind that the method proposed here relies on the ability for the lentivirus to enter the cell of interest. In the same way that tumors that are refractory to treatment often unregulate immunosuppressive molecules to escape the immune system so is this therapy subject to escape by preventing entry.
There is also some stuff about safety of widely infecting cells with lentiviral vectors containing a myriad of gRNAs and hoping there will be no serious off target events, but considering we are already comparing it to another pretty dangerous therapy I will leave that one out. I assume you are primarily referring to CAR-T or TIL when you say immunotherapy.
To be frank, the results from that PNAS paper are really interesting but the degree of killing isn't the most impressive. Very worthwhile studying though. The personalized medicine aspect here is really fascinating.

On a global scale, so far:
So far, the AHF has no relevant climate impact on a global scale. However, given continued growth in a decarbonised world, the AHF can become a relevant factor of post-greenhouse gas warming in the relatively near future within the next century. Also, on a local scale, even today the AHF is a non- negligible process. This holds not only for the direct AHF impact in urbanised areas, but also for remote, large-scale areas like the sea ice near Greenland due to the ice-albedo feedback and impacts on the ocean circulation. The analysis of CLIMBER-3α has shown that a forcing as small as the AHF in the current years (roughly 2% of the CO2 forcing) can influence ocean circulation in such a way that a temperature change of more than ±0.3 K can result in the Arctic region with significant changes in the sea ice cover.

Reply to Panera to adopt palm-reading payment systems, sparking privacy fears | Biometrics by ethereal3xp
This thread tells me none of you understand at all how this biometric tech works.
1st the health concerns:
Palm reading systems are most likely vein pattern readers. They do not need a surface to be touched and can read from about 6 inches away. Making them touch less.
Second the way these systems work, they scan a pattern assign a number to it and then when checking again they only verify the number. At no point do they store what your hand looks like. The storage for that would be massive and worthless. It makes no sense at all from a technical point.
And even less sense to sell as data. What they could make more money on is selling your account payment information in correlation to the where, when, and what you got. Which they can and most certainly already do. Because there are no laws saying they can't.

No, there is no difference. Creativity is just combination and random mutation. It’s how humans are creative, it’s how machines are creative. It’s the same thing.

You do realize that this doesn't actually adress any of the inherent issues with nuclear - industry as well as technology - that I pointed to, right? Using your logic I can simply point to Iceland to invalidate everything you have asserted so far.

In 2019 around 15 % and now probably more, but still a long way of the 42.5 percent target. I am assuming that the article doesn't mix up elecrticity and energy, but it might have done that looking at those numbers.

The supposed map for TEN-T. Interesting how on various transport maps the center of France is always completely empty. Must be one hell of a disconnected place to live in.

The effect is absolutely miniscule and is a non-issue even if we would get all of our energy from nuclear. As the article you linked says it will be only be problem when we get to scifi-power source such as fusion.

uhm when the outside is hot enough to not cool your reactor anymore we'd all be dead.

Also rivers increasingly drying up and water shortages are problematic for cooling.

Nuclear power will also stop working as the planet warms, because the temp difference in the water source you are using to cool the plant will not be enough to keep the plant running. This already happens in some southern nuclear power plants in the US.
Can't cool your reactor if your "coolant" water comes in too hot.
