Besides Ray Kurzweil, the most interesting and deep thinking exposition on the coming AI transformation.
Will be in NYC soon, and will definitely check out the table tennis, just not clear how to find a partner since I'm at the 2,000 point level.
As a life long table tennis player of over 30 years, doubt this current iteration of robots could get 1 point off me.
Re:Nvidia to Acquire Run:AI on Wednesday April 24, 2024 @01:36PM (#40147373)
I think it is more than 5 years on average. Here is the answer to prompt from Meta.ai below: Unit 8200 is an elite intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the length of service for new recruits can vary depending on their role and position. Typically, new recruits in Unit 8200 serve for a minimum of 4-5 years, but some may serve longer depending on their specialization and the needs of the unit. Some roles may require even longer service commitments, up to 6-8 years or more. It's worth noting that Unit 820psilon is considered one of the most prestigious and competitive units in the IDF, and service there is highly sought after by many young Israelis. The unit is responsible for military intelligence gathering, signal intelligence, and cybersecurity, among other things.
Just tried this trick, using a bottle spray on some beans in the hopper before grinding. And this was before I read this article, very timely!

Many people have a positive view of Kissinger --https://www.wsj.com/articles/henry-kissingers-century-01a1a9...
First, great looking website!

On first blush, it seems like this is more in the line of Nextdoor, neighbors helping neighbors, but with some money changing hands. I'd go in that direction.

Appears pretty obvious! Hard to believe they will be able to keep the profits.
Re:Top Russian rocket scientist dies from ‘mushroom poisoning’ on Saturday September 02, 2023 @02:20PM (#37364066)
As an active mushroom hunter (born in Russia), can confirm that this is extremely unlikely and uncommon. People who have done this since birth know how distinguish between mushrooms, and usually stick to the variety that they love the best. In Russia, the mushroom of choice is the "White Mushroom" (or Porcini, King Bolete) or Rejik (Milky cap) and Chanterreles, and a few others, and that's it, with the top 2 being the most sought after.

I've been doing this for over 35 years, and always go after the same mushrooms, and have never been poisoned. So, very unlikely someone much older would make a mistake, sounds like foul play.

site disappears, not sure what is going on.
Re:Lev Landau's “Theoretical Minimum” on Sunday July 02, 2023 @07:20PM (#36566860)
Anyone read the Livshitz-Landau textbooks? Any thoughts on them and how the compare to the Feynman Lecture series?

P.S. No immediate relation to Landau (and family name is really Livshitz).

Can you provide a link to the article?

I read his biography and would recommend --https://a.co/d/84aw1nl

Are there any employees in the Boulder office now? Does anyone know.
what the documentary called and where can you stream it?
He is still involved in the Loon spin-off start-up --https://www.aalyria.com/#people

I know a few people working there. The tech is very futuristic.

You hit the nail on the head here. That's the main crux of the matter.
