  • Drug May Repair DNA at Earliest Stages of Alzheimer’s – And it’s Already Passed Safety Trials

  • I get the conundrum but apply some context here. Diseases of old age are irrelevant to natural selection

  • And how often do you think people used to die of Alzheimer’s before reproducing?

  • Tesla Has To Fix Its Super-Bright Headlights. A New Law Could Change Things For Good.

  • And I imagine that’s it. At some point Tesla installed the hardware for adaptive headlights. So maybe a transition around that? Where the lights were brighter but adaptive could not be supported

  • That’s a lot of work/cost to just find out whether something needs to be done.

    Almost makes you want each part to report an id ……. Until you think about vendor locks and surveillance

  • I found it weird there are about 20,000 vehicles of concern for models that sold millions. I wonder what happened, how are those relative few different?

    That being said, they are really bright but now that we finally have the adaptive beams enabled, it seems to make a huge difference

  • I’ve had this discussion with my conservative brother

    Me: my company has diversity programs to reach a wider pool of applicants and to help people with historical disadvantages fulfill their potential. The best manager I ever had, had a little help overcoming language and confidence barriers, and i was happy to follow her to multiple companies

    Him: they keep bringing in these managers solely by their gender or skin color and never promote engineers. They made us take this one employee who is completely unqualified and we have to do her work

    He buys that there’s a harmful dei mandate that prevent qualified people from succeeding. You can imagine there’s some resentment there. However it’s easier to explain as normal large company bs, and only knowing part of the story

  • The numbers can be pretty crazy - but yeah it’s a complex hellscape of excessive prices combined with student aid designed to extract the most from every student.

    My state is covering tuition at its public universities for people below a certain income. After federal subsidies. But you still need to cover room and board. Meanwhile the list price is higher than the Ivy League school I went to many years ago.

    But the school my youngest really wanted, has huge subsidies almost half the cost, yet wanted us to come up with $50k/year.

    But there’s also a cultural thing where college became almost expected, regardless of what you wanted to do in life. If you only look at it as a financial investment there are many scenarios where it will never pay off or the desired job is too low an income to pay it off. Of course people complain about poor choices in spending when the real problem is thinking of college merely as a financial investment. But college is a good thing if it helps people learn and think, regardless whether there is a direct payoff

  • nationalizing an industry.

    Not even. Every state has a public university system. Many of which used to be free. It’s as simple as investing enough that they be free to state residents again.

    Let the private universities continue as they want. Some people will use them but they’ll need to compete against free

  • While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.

    They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply

  • It’s clearly a conflict of interest, by definition.

    Maybe you could argue it wasn’t a quid pro quo or a bribe since there is no proof, but it’s awfully suspicious

  • What will the majors changes be after the AI bubble pops?

    Jump

  • Ai is here to stay. There will be winners

    Many companies will take huge losses but the real losses will be communities with huge dead buildings and unrewarded tax incentives. Power companies with wasted investments trying to feed datacenters that no longer exist and the rate payers that have to pay for it

    I think there will continue to be a free tier: Apple is a great example of using small local ai to do useful things for their customers. However the latest models will be have to be much more expensive to cover the business case. Scale matters, so there’s a good chance the winners won’t just dominate in a country but globally

  • As far as I knew they are mainly to tell a seeing impaired person where not to walk into the street.

    They also seem effective at encouraging everyone else to step back a little

  • I’m sure they’re getting compensation. The question is always whether it’s fair compensation. I’m sure they’re claiming they’re just using an easement on the back of the property while they’re saying our entire lives are here and we don’t want to live under power lines
