... you're worried about censorship so you use the Chinese search engine?

Just use DuckDuckGo

It's far easier to be successful if you're already rich.

And a certain percentage of innocent people are found guilty. You don't see how expanding the arrests of innocent people is a bad thing? It has the potential to ruin lives

Those are all still AI. Scientists still have a functional definition that includes these plus more scripted AI like in video games.

Essentially, any algorithm that learns and acts on information that has not been explicitly programmed is considered AI.

Is it inappropriate or off topic? Then you downvote.

Anything else? Upvote or abstain

I disagree so I gave you a downvote

You would be half correct. Magenta is impossible "in the real world". It obviously exists on your computer screen due to its ability to shoot colored light into your eyeballs

This is incredibly incorrect. While many colors that are additive are combinations, those combinations are simply approximations of the single wavelength true color. All colors are on a spectrum of hue, luminance (brightness) and intensity (saturation).

Pink is red with high luminance and high intensity, and brown is orange with low luminance and mid-high intensity

???

Purple is not a combination of wavelengths, it is a single one. And pink and brown are lighter/darker versions of other colors. Pink being light red, and brown being dark orange.

I'm pretty sure the only difference between the yellow and white American cheeses is the addition of annatto

Use your willpower in a small burst to buy a low nicotine juice and literally throw away the high nicotine stuff. You need to actually toss it and never use it again. Yes, it costs money, but do you want to quit or not?

Now use the low nicotine juice for a set amount of time (say, a month) and then switch to zero nicotine juice. Try to keep the same flavors you're used to already.

Eventually you will stop smoking because youre only getting the positive feelings from the habit itself and not the nicotine.

I know lots of very stupid people with PhDs

I have a PhD, for one

I remember this article. It's the reason why I now have a laptop prepared and ready to give my son for his fifth birthday.

Regex isn't difficult, just annoying to ensure it is bug-free. If ChatGPT can help, then I don't know why you wouldn't be in favor of it

The only crime here is the crime against humanity of taking away a person's agency over their own body

I've been giving Bing a try, and their integration with GPT4 is pretty great as long as you're aware that it's not always entirely accurate.

I searched for an error code in Python and it returned an explanation of the error and the most common fixes, in plain text. With links to the stack overflow pages where those fixes were from.

A film theory!

The presence of chlorine does not make a chemical toxic.

Are you a chemist in the sense that you run a drug store?

Key point that this glossed over: because this drug targets the protein amyloid, it is only really effective before the point that amyloid reaches a critical level. Once this happens (the exact point is still unknown), other changes occur which leads to permanent brain damage. The drug will then no longer work to prevent the disease.

This article states that amyloid PET (brain scans to detect presence of abnormal amyloid early) is not covered by insurance, but there are new blood tests that may perform as well. My lab is working on validating these blood tests. Keep an eye on new studies being released next week on the 16th, which is the first day of the annual Alzheimers Association conference

I'm literally wearing a shirt with this joke on it right now. Wife got it for me for my first father's day

Yes, it has spit-up on it
