Why Detmer & Owosekun Were Missing From Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Explained By Showrunner (screenrant.com)

This explained Detmer and Owo’s absence for the rest of Discovery season 5....

So, it’s clear that a small subpopulation is preferentially tweeting links to sources of misinformation, and for many users, they’re the most significant source of exposure to these sites. So who are these people?

They’re a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They’re also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole. And, while much of the misinformation about the election largely circulated within Republican circles, only 64 percent of the superspreaders were registered Republicans (nearly 20 percent were registered as Democrats).

Looks interesting until you close the keyboard cover. Talk about lumpy.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

A quick search says 3.7L is the recommended intake for men, and 2.7L for women. Forget AI, Germans appear to be the real resource guzzlers!

Aha! That makes a lot more sense with that framing.

EDIT: In 2019 in Canada the daily residential average was 215L per day. 129L seems like a dream in contrast.

Bdesign thought that the cut was small, like a paper cut, until blood started spurting out from the wound. The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle “can be dangerous” panicked but helped.

Oh good, multiple witnesses.

Don’t feel bad. You’re only getting downvoted because MacRumours didn’t post it first.

There’s something to be said about brand recognition, and Google just doesn’t listen.

He argues that any shortcomings associated with using ChatGPT to write part of a law would also be present if humans take the reins. Kolodin said he didn’t see any pitfalls “that I don’t also see with relying on legislative attorneys to draft up legislation.”

Last I checked humans carried 100% of the liability.

There’s a lot more info regarding how the garbage will be managed in regards to phasing into the three-item plan and extra bag allotments, so the full article is worth a read.

I imagine it’s fine to ask for a critique. Where I think it starts becoming an issue, however, is if people spam the community for every little detail through multiple posts.

Oooh that explains it! Thankfully they didn’t go with a 15% discount :P

Right, that’s just plagiarism.

I’m talking about the recent demos using AI to teach you subject matter via conversation. Seems like info retention could be higher.

16 year olds should legally be allowed to vote in my opinion

Seriously it really grinds my gears that the Canadian government thinks that 16 years olds are mature and intelligent enough to drive a car, work a full-time job, pay taxes, apply for a passport, and are able to live independently on their own without a parent or guardian if they want to and get married with parent consent....

I bring up life experience because most 16 year olds are starting to take a Civics class in high school and are balancing this out while discovering their own social identity. Do I think that young people, on average, make good decisions? Not necessarily, but I also think adults aren’t perfect decision makers either.

I’ve since learned that political party members as young as 14 years old are allowed to vote in party leadership elections, so there is precedence in reducing the voting age minimum.

If young people continue to show engagement in politics, however, I could see the conversation being taken more seriously and the voting age being reduced (to 16 or 17) before the end of the decade.

Adults already fall prey to team politics, so it’s a bit of a weak argument—I know.

I think it would still be interesting to get an official youth vote, even if it did not count, to quantify the issues as they see it.

15 year olds should absolutely not be legally allowed to drink and smoke. Knowing the detriments of vices does not shield one from the immense peer pressure young people need to deal with. Not to mention that the long term financial burden of supporting sick or hospitalized people is on an older, ideally healthier, generation.
