The first Japanese embassy to America even landed in San Francisco in 1860

CE/BCE isn’t strictly astronomical year terminology, it can be applied to the Gregorian calendar and AD/BC can be used for astronomical years. If you see BCE outside of an astronomy context, it probably does not include a year zero

how high processing power computers with AI/LLM’s can assist in a lab and/or hospital environment

This is an enormously broader scope than the situation I actually responded to, which was LLMs making diagnoses and then getting their work checked by a doctor

In the example you provided, you’re doing it by hand afterwards anyway. How is a doctor going to vet the work of the AI without examining the case in as much detail as they would have without the AI?

In the test here, it literally only handled text. Doctors can do that. And if you need a doctor to check its work in every case, it has saved zero hours of work for doctors.

Usually to do work that needs done but does not need the direct attention of the more skilled person. The assistant can do that work by themselves most of the time. In the example above, the assistant is doing all of the most challenging work and then the doctor is checking all of its work

If you need someone qualified to examine the case anyway, what’s the point of the AI?

Mate I’m not telling you off for wanting to stretch, just puzzled about why you don’t do it earlier on when you start feeling cramped

You’re allowed to get up during the flight though

Noita! I’ve stopped playing it now as I more or less achieved everything I wanted to with it, but it really got a hold of me with how much it rewards creative approaches to problems

Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he’s very good at it.

We can indeed print steel with direct metal laser sintering. I think that the object needs heat treatment afterwards, though to be fair it is almost ten years since I properly read up on it and things have probably advanced since then

You see it - an ambush. Four with crossbows, watching from the shadows in upper story windows. One leaning against the wall forty feet ahead with his finger twitching nervously over his knife. Three at a table, barely visible through swinging saloon doors, but each with a hatchet in hand listening for the sound of fighting. You feel every grazing shift of the wind, hear the distant crake of carrion crows unaware of the feast that is about to be laid out.

You see beyond the walls of the buildings, even. No, beyond… something else. Another kind of wall. One distant, but ever-present. Five titanic figures, shrouded in the haze of vast distances, looking over you. They speak, but you cannot know their tongue. One commands the others, a theatrical gesture wrought across the entire sky, and the other four hurl stones of mountainous proportion. What calamity have you witnessed?

And in an instant, they vanish from your sight. One of the crossbowmen shot your leg.

it said something like “this is very high”.

Maeshowe, in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. It’s a properly ancient structure, and there are 30 runic inscriptions in it which are all just straight up graffiti, including “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up”. My favourite part is it’s not even that high up, like the guy was probably just on someone’s shoulders.

Oddly enough we probably have the story of the graffiti artists. The Orkneyinga saga tells the tale of some 12th century Norsemen who took shelter there during a snowstorm and looted the place. By the time they did so, Maeshowe was already about 4,000 years old, and whatever they looted was probably left there by their own ancestors a few centuries beforehand.

And if I were the bear, yeah, I probably know I could kill that little thing as soon as I got hold of it, but it’s way faster than me and it’s made of knives. It’s gonna hurt me the whole time I’m killing it. Why risk it?

“It’s like It is relying on unpaid labor when the company has nearly a billion dollars in revenue,”

Heads up OP, you might want to change the community name to “loneliness” rather than “lonelinnes” before it becomes a hassle to move stuff over. People are definitely more likely to find it and immediately understand what it’s about that way

I agree with you, but to be fair to the Guardian this is an opinion piece by someone who only writes for them once every couple of months

a small sliver of Ukraine

“Oh poor little Putin only wants to steal the entire land area of Greece and the homes of eleven million people”

which voted to secede from Ukraine,

Ahh yes I too take referenda run by occupying militaries very seriously

Whether a Hitler comparison is valid or not, your take here fucking sucks

Either patatas bravas or roasted. Or just roasted potatoes with bravas sauce. But to be honest I’ll be happy with most forms of potato. What a stellar vegetable
