AI is not needed for predictable tasks, it excels in finding predictions in a mass of data.

For example, one of the most dynamic systems we have is global weather and GraphCast is incredible at it.

There's always Charity Navigator, they rate charities based on financial health and accountability, at least. I've not heard any controversy with it, for what it's worth

It's not like we don't have the technology

As of 2008 it is an FAA requirement that the recording duration is a minimum of two hours.

Fascinating. Well thanks once again for the link to Turchin, I have a big stack of books to add to my list now.

Very interesting link, thanks for sharing. I'm curious, do you know of Daniel Schmachtenberger , and if so, are you willing to draw any parallels?

Let's hope the EU 10x the last fine Apple got to see if they'll get the message.

Info from the manufacturer: Stelo, indicating it'll be on the market this summer.

At the risk of sounding like a bio-hacker, CGM systems can provide a fascinating insight into you body and how you process foods. And for me, it's easier to convince myself of behavior changes with numerical data as opposed to just how I feel.

Steam and AppStore are not equivalent in many important ways, though

They're probably breatharians

How tested are the proprietary protocols for data safety?

And regarding The Lord of the Flies. Keep your faith.

This timing is very interesting with the Yuzu/Citra shutdown - do you suspect the change has anything to do with not want to make money from a Nintendo emulator as be less of a target? Or is there something fundamentally different about Drastic?

Definitely want to be at the top of the yellow pages.
