So what if a large TV is being used to cast business information in a meeting?

It's ironic that Sony as a media producer and TV maker could be streaming copyrighted images for an algorithm to use.

Could this be used as an example from AI companies on the use of copyrighted images for training data?


I think this boils the problem down solely to the individual. What if companies realised this issue and made a period of time during the day devoted solely to learning, knowledge management and innovation. If their developers only use AI to be more productive, then the potential degradation of intellect could stifle innovation and make the company less competitive in the market. It would be interesting if we start seeing a resurgence of Google's mythical 10% rule with companies more inclined to let any employee create side projects using AI (like Cursor) that could benefit the company.


The problem is motivation. I’ve worked at companies that use policies like this, but you often only see a handful of def motivated folks really make use of it.


Should there be a better way of reporting and displaying bugs?

For displaying the bugs, I'm thinking of something like what invision was - showing the interface of for example the desktop and showing the number of bugs associated with different elements of the desktop.

By displaying bugs as posts on a forum, I feel that we lose track of how degraded the performance of the system actually is.


But would that make it so that it's impossible to install/access other libraries?


I would imagine that having a camera videoing your preparation of ingredients and cooking would give enough data to classify the ingredients and the used volumes. From the video it should be easier to track the weight of everything... and perhaps depending on how the ingredients are used, determine/predict how the macronutrients are altered during the process.


If the definition of the meter is still wrong disallowing π² = g, how might this affect other calculations like for example thrust and in aerospace engineering?


And what would all other natural constants look like, had the meter kept the value derived from the length of the pendulum?


You could consider doing a mini hackathon with the kids whereby the aim is to create a board game of some kind. Have the kids design the game on paper or card,then at the end use your cnc mill to create the boards, tiles, player pieces etc. You could then use the world cafe (https://toolbox.hyperisland.com/world-cafe) facilitation method for all the teams to explain their games to each other and recommend improvements. You could even show them how to use chatgpt to take their game ideas and flesh them out at a later stage (tutorial, rules etc.)

This idea would allow them to create something fun which is their own, that they can keep in the classroom and play with. It may also make them think of what other games they can create in the future.


Could devices to trigger other senses work? Like an aromatic diffuser on a timer switch that pumps out a scent, or a SAD lamp that simulates sunlight. A vibration device for the bed


Waking up is solved for me now - I'm married, my wife is an early bird (and our kids are the worms, they get up even earlier, or am I getting that adage wrong?), and she makes sure I get up (and stay up).

Right now, the bedtime is a problem - revenge bedtime procrastination + everyone getting used to me doing extra work overnight during some more busy times (I work remotely, so sometimes I handle kid emergencies during the day) + various other issues --> even if I had an "insta-sleep" pill, I'd have hard time getting myself to take it before 02:00.

A SAD lamp is something I'd like to try in general, maybe it'll improve my overall mood or something. I seem to function best in either near-complete darkness (i.e. only light being the screen, indicator LEDs and some street lamps in the distance outside), or very bright environments. The average brightness people I know keep at home makes me instantly sleepy, and I spend most of my cognitive resources on forcing myself to stay awake.


I find when in those situations Power Nap works decently - for awhile. Luckily I only have to do it once in awhile.

I slam something high in caffeine (ice tea, soda, energy drink) and then immediately pass out. It only works if I’m already fighting staying awake.

An hour or so later I’m up again and can complete the day.


This is my solution. I try to get a 90 minute nap whenever I can, but 30 and caffeine can help too. These two numbers are important so that you don’t wake up in a REM cycle.


Since it focuses on electrical charge, would it be worth renaming it to Anti-charged-matter

Are there other types of Antimatter that focus on different properties?


Antimatter also has anti-color-charge. Quarks have a ‘color charge’ (unrelated to visible colors) which is ‘red’, ‘green’, or ‘blue’. An antiquark is antired, antigreen, or antiblue (and has the opposite electrical charge from its corresponding normal quark).

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


Could anti-quarks behavior be explained by them having negative mass instead?


That would require a re-formulation of conservation of color charge. You could probably come up with an alternative formulation where everything is consistent, but all of the formulas would almost certainly be more complicated. The most obvious way would end up replacing color by the sign of mass times color everywhere, but then you've just renamed ant-red, anti-blue, and anti-green, with no obvious benefit.


I don't believe so; color charge isn't a scalar like mass is.


Instead of starting a new chat, why not change the prompt higher up in the conversation with the relevant detail that you have gained through the responses?


I think that would work and be better in some cases. The thing is you want to change things up, lose some context. I may not be able to go far enough back without losing progress to do that. But I could copy just the current state of the task (last response) to a new chat.
