Not for you then. You don't need to understand everything.


Here's my theory: When some people saw that physics could be used to get great power, they decided to keep physics research a secret, in the hands of the few. So, they have been using governments and spies to keep it away from the masses (and hence adversaries). I believe string theory is a result of this.


I think String theory was a way to extort funding based on ignorance or snake oil tactics based on nebulous claims.

There is a growing number of physicists exposing them.


i think you forgot the /s thingy somewhere.


Unfortunately not and it's worse than you think because with "some people", "they", and "the few" they means Jews. You can look at the post history for the pattern, after which this is pretty obvious. I already emailed about this some time ago but antisemitism is completely fine if you use thinly veiled euphemisms and don't directly insult people, apparently.


if you are actually serious, all i can say is ‘yikes !’


Wrong! Oil-rich countries have every incentive to not let it happen, and that is exactly what they have been doing. For example, “but the Uighers” is a propaganda tactic (among others) developed by the current oil countries as an attack to the Chinese solar industry.


Most disgusting design trend. I hope the Vista look that has been re-popularized by Apple dies soon.


Vista, or rather Aero, never looked anything like this. It's glassy and translucent but that's where the similarity ends. The way the translucency itself is used is vastly different.

But also, yes, I agree. It didn't need to make a comeback. And even if it did, since iOS and macOS were already fairly translucent, it didn't need to be like this.

That’s what I’m saying! I’m not trusting Sam Altman with ANY of my data. He makes Zuckerberg look like a sane, reasonable guy in comparison.


Palentologists are the LLMs in human form. Give them a stick fossil and they will generate a whole story of how everything happened, until another one of these finds a toe, and rewrites everything.

The food and drugs industry wants you fat.


Simple ideas work to get simpletons onboard, and one needs their vote and support to do anything. You are criticizing the greatest political communicator that has existed in history and will be studied and tried to be replicated for a long time to come.


Sounds a little hyperbole, I would argue it’s more a political strategy based on very smart use of technology, some brilliant strategists that know their base (I hate Banon but the man knows his stuff) and a mummified Democratic Party. Hitler, to cite one, was so much better communicator than trump, without the brain farts


GPT-5 is 4o with an automatic model picker.


It's a whole family of brand new models with a model picker on top of them for the ChatGPT application layer, but API users can directly interact with the new models without any model picking layer involved at all.


Incompetent people waiting for “science to happen” while the merchant class lies to the peasants about what science should be for them to make money. Explains what is going on.
