For Jimmy Sharman’s boxers it’s no better if you win

See the talk page on his Wikipedia article—they’re currently comparing sources (including the New Statesman article you linked to), but don’t yet consider it conclusive.
It doesn’t make sense that we couldn’t see it and the particles that could explain it seemed like they were invented just to justify dark matter
It always seemed like a natural assumption to me: the particles we know about were discovered because they interact with each other via at least one other force in addition to gravity. But there’s no other force common to all particles, so why not expect particles that only interact via gravity? They’d naturally be hard to detect, since gravity is so much weaker than the other forces.
Assuming that the only particles that exist are the ones that happen to be easy for us to detect feels like observer bias.
Everyone tried to warn Elon not to use Fury Road as training data.
I think that in practice, whoever writes the prompts would be able to adjust the wording to get the bot to output whatever they want.
Turns out it was just Chris Hadfield playing Space Oddity on the ground station channel again.
Every time it caused a coup that we know about.
Is there a word for a form of government that rules entirely by throwing people out of windows?
Maybe “defenestrarchy”?
Reading the quotes from Ashe reminds me of some of the cops who plant evidence at crime scenes: they’re convinced they’ve already got the right suspect, and manufacturing evidence is just a convenient shortcut for persuading everyone else of their version of the truth.
The Fisher King to Perceval: “The real Holy Grail was the irritable bowel syndrome we acquired along the way.”
Most likely the dry season is naturally occurring, but the length and severity are affected by climate change.
It can mislead visitors about the severity of climate change… and it can impact the local ecosystem, if there are organisms around the waterfall that depend on there being a dry season each year.
They should ask him what he thinks he’s on trial for—he might confess to something that hasn’t even been uncovered yet.
Does it need to be accessible via API (e.g. SQL) or just a spreadsheet-style web interface?
The right way to do it would be to outcross Golden Rice with local strains to transfer the beta carotene gene while preserving other traits that are already adapted to the local ecosystem, thereby maintaining biodiversity and allowing the rice to continue to coevolve with other local organisms. But that would threaten Monsanto’s patents.
What about the usage demographics within each country?
In underdeveloped/exploited countries, internet usage is more likely to be concentrated among the economic elites who formerly benefited from colonialism—so if increasing adoption in those countries just follows the pattern of other internet use, it could have the opposite effect from the one intended.
Are they sure that’s the direction of causation? Because eating undercooked bear is the sort of behavior I’d expect from people who were already infected with brain worms.
I was wondering why they referred to the deletions as “tiny molecules” instead of “genes”, but I guess it’s to emphasize that they code for microRNAs instead of proteins.
The largest ticketed concerts have had several hundred thousand attendees. I bet if they reviewed the names on the tickets, they’d find they set world records for gatherings of people with the same name without even realizing it.
Plus… this isn’t a remote area—you can walk across the whole range from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos in less than a day. Even if you were too panicked to think of an obvious strategy like “follow a stream” or “always walk downhill” and were essentially stumbling around blind, it seems like you’d be bound to run into a hiking trail or other landmark by chance alone within a day or two.
