Let's be clear: you don't want Republicans to determine education.


I don't want a system where any party gets to exclusively control the education system of millions as a part of partisan politics. It just happens that the education system is currently under attack from Republicans, yes.

They can always choose to stop being Machiavellian about children.


For grid-level solar energy, we will need batteries that cycle at least 200 times per year. A system that requires replacing batteries every 5 years can't really be described as "renewable energy".


As long as "replace" includes "take the old batteries and turn them into raw materials for making new batteries" it definitely can.

Typical issues with old batteries are things like dendrite growth. There's nothing wrong with the materials that went into making the battery, they've just reshaped themselves into an unfortunate spiky structure.


I am still confused. Are these made of quarks? Electrons? Atoms? Ions?

All the article says is "a new material made from indium arsenide and aluminum".


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermion

> Fermions have a half-odd-integer spin (spin 1/2 , spin 3/2 , etc.) and obey the Pauli exclusion principle.

> These particles include all quarks and leptons and all composite particles made of an odd number of these, such as all baryons and many atoms and nuclei

I this it's a way to describe a set of particles or "objects" with certain properties.



The actual article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-024-02765-w

It's unclear to me why a "one-dimensional" simulation would give results that generalize to spacetime.


Yeah, it's cringe, but if LLMs are as useless as Gary Marcus insists they are, why should we worry?


They are quite useful for “flooding the zone”.


Because spewing lots of propaganda at people very rapidly is unfortunately often quite effective.


As the comments on that site point out, the headline conclusion is absurdly wrong.

The older models are worse than the newer models (which are generally larger and better trained). That doesn't prove the older models have undergone "cognitive decline".


This doesn't seem to include a rule that the two starting positions are equal (same pieces on the A file, B file, etc.).

Also, I don't see how "human intuition" comes into play, or why Stockfish couldn't play this as well as any other variant. Picking the most useful piece to put on a square requires no intuition at all, it's just a few additional possible actions.

At least as implemented, there is no "hidden information", the pieces aren't assigned to a location before they are revealed.


- Yes, pcs don’t have to share the same columns.

- There is a certain level uncertainty about where these pcs will land. Yes perhaps stockfish could try to add all possible future placements but I expect that would significantly hinder stockfish as the the number of possibilities grow hundreds of times.

Your opponent doesn’t know which piece will be where until you reveal it. Therefore can’t attack a non defended pawn on b column because you may reveal a castle on next turn.

On the overall it mitigates problems of weird openings in regular chess 960 but End game stays the same.


I looked at this company about 8 years ago, and found their ideas for new computer architectures interesting.

Since then, GPUs have changed the world. And yet, these people have apparently accomplished nothing.

Perhaps they would be most valuable to an anti-AI organization as patent-trolling fodder.


If you actually read their forums, you will see they accomplished a lot, and just need funding to get to hardware production.


Except it was the family that refused to release the autopsy report, and their own lawyer disputes the claim.

"Ramarao later told The Standard that the secondary autopsy proved her son was shot in the back of the head from an angle at which he could not have shot himself, and that it was “cold-blooded murder.” At the time, the family declined to provide a copy of the autopsy, and Goethals [the family attorney] disputed Ramarao’s claim, saying he “would not characterize it as conclusively proving murder.”"
