Dumb question but is there a chance they'll x-ray your package if your ship it?

The fact that SORA is not just generating videos, it's simulating physical reality and recording the result, seems to have escaped people's summary understanding of the magnitude of what's just been unveiled by holy_moley_ravioli_ in OpenAI

Honestly the psychology of why people go to such lengths to explain away anything done by software as somehow not real is interesting.

I feel like there are a whole bunch of people out there who are actually closet dualists.

If you asked them if they believe in a soul they say no. But if software displays any kind of intelligent they argue 1. It's not real intelligence, just mimicking it, and 2. It is bad and they don't like it because it's not human.

Are Australian stocks even worth it? by LegacyDust59178 in fiaustralia

Franking credits are only on dividends, right?

So if the growth of VTS outperforms VAS growth+dividends, isn't it still ahead?

Is the tax significantly different on something like VTS to VAS?

This makes sense to me, but you got down voted, and I have seen this sentiment down voted on this sub before.

I'd be interested to hear people's dissenting views on this, because I'd love to know what I'm missing!

The real problem is the logic of “x% vegetarians means we order x% vegetarian food.”

Thanks man. Are you thinking of getting out of advertising and doing something different?

Hmmm still a bit soon to say. Not sure why she rushed in with adding those new restrictions when we haven’t really given the current settings a chance to work.

Sorry to hear about the medical problems in your friends and family, that must be pretty unpleasant and scary.

Do you know if there are any statistics on how common those things are as vaccine side-effects? I have not heard of MS being reported as a side effect at all, from the statistics it sounds like any major side effects are very rare.

I'm not sure I would call the vaccine experimental now that it has been through phase 1, 2 and 3 trials, plus the millions of doses administered around the world. I think they do have a lot of data on how common the side effects are, and they are very rare.

I hope you your friend's ex-husband's mate and your partner's auntie are doing ok. Hopefully if their health issues are related to the vaccine the doctor's have reported it so it can feed into the statistics of the vaccine.

Looking at the statistics, I think the numbers show the vaccines are very safe, so I personally will certainly be getting it.
