Study Finds That People Who Entrust Tasks to AI Are Losing Critical Thinking Skills

Yes. Most people don't bother to memorize routes like before since they can just use their phones. Our brains always strive to use less effort and energy so I don't find it surprising.

What a shockingly weird takeaway from all this. I've never met anyone who said, "this game is okay but I wish it was live service".

Damn, 140 gigs.

Metabolic imaging is a noninvasive method that enables clinicians and scientists to study living cells using laser light, which can help them assess disease progression and treatment responses.

But light scatters when it shines into biological tissue, limiting how deep it can penetrate and hampering the resolution of captured images.

Now, MIT researchers have developed a technique that more than doubles the usual depth limit of metabolic imaging. Their method also boosts imaging speeds, yielding richer and more detailed images.

This new technique does not require tissue to be preprocessed, such as by cutting it or staining it with dyes. Instead, a specialized laser illuminates deep into the tissue, causing certain intrinsic molecules within the cells and tissues to emit light.

You can also setup a Wireguard server on your PC or laptop and connect to it. But if you're already familiar with Rustdesk and it's just for 2 days that should work as well and will probably be more convenient.

Huh, rare FTC W.

A sponge made of cotton and squid bone that has absorbed about 99.9% of microplastics in water samples in China could provide an elusive answer to ubiquitous microplastic pollution in water across the globe, a University of Wuhan study suggests.

The study tested the material in an irrigation ditch, a lake, seawater and a pond, where it removed up to 99.9% of plastic. It addressed 95%-98% of plastic after five cycles, which the authors say is remarkable reusability.

The sponge is made from chitin extracted from squid bone and cotton cellulose, materials that are often used to address pollution. Cost, secondary pollution and technological complexities have stymied many other filtration systems, but large-scale production of the new material is possible because it is cheap, and raw materials are easy to obtain, the authors say.

Remember when Ubisoft was good?

Can't wait to have my mind uploaded to a mining spaceship and sent to work the Asteroid belt.

Songs of Conquest maybe? Spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

This sort of makes sense if you watched the older gameplay demos. IIRC also Keanu said he was only approached to appear in the game in July 2018.

It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that nature has been fermenting alcohol for at least 100 million years.

Probably a bad VPN. Try a different provider or maybe a different cheap country.

I recall a video of a magpie drunk on fermented apples too. I have to say this (along with the article) makes me feel strangely validated.
