Science routinely solves problems like this:

In some sense this is the very heart of science: taking disparate views of the world and drawing likely conclusions that are testable and reproducible.

There are scientists who make their careers peddling shady results for big companies:

When you use biometrics with passkey, they are stored on-device. In that sense they respect privacy.

Its a great question, I was able to find this on the Framework site: https://community.frame.work/c/community-market/202

That is completely fair. For the way I use my laptop I need fairly current hardware, but if you do not, the premium price might not make sense for you.

The audiobooks are amazing, super-talented narrator who does a while host of voices.

The way I justified it was by saying that it will last longer than a laptop I just throw away after 5 years. If I can keep it for 10 years with an upgrade ir two the economics starts to make sense.

When the waitress said “Enjoy your meal” and I responded “You too.”

What size model? I can run 8 billion parameter models on my Geforce 3070 with 8gb of vram. Bigger models need more memory. For $1-2k you can upgrade to a 16 or 32 gb video card. For $3k you can get a Framework Desktop with 128 gb unified memory. For $6k you can get a DGX Spark with a blackwell chip and 128 gb unified memory. Mac mini or Mac studio are also good choices in this price range.

This works surprisingly well. Even though the relief is temporary, exerting some control over the pain makes it more manageable.

It cannot be Thanos because he did nothing wrong.

I feel like everyone is a villain in that series.

The kids devices have their wifi shut off at 11 pm each week day night. From time to time I will have them show me their screen time history and their Youtube watch history.

• Revenue: $56.3 billion
• Net income (profit): $26.8 billion

That was up from:

• $42.3 billion revenue a year earlier
• $16.6 billion net income a year earlier

Did you know in experiments on Chimpanzees it has been shown that they likely have equivalent memory and cognitive abilities to humans?

So what is the secret to our success? Social learning.

Hands down the most fascinating thing I have learned are the theories of Joseph Henrich, an anthropologist and the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology of Harvard University, in his book book “The Secret of Our Success”
