(of a disease) existing in almost all of an area or in almost all of a group of people, animals, or plants
“An area” could be a country, a Canadian pandemic is possible just as a global pandemic is.

That sounds correct for me. It is possible for them to switch to a system where everyone can manually skip past the ad in the video stream but adblockers are useless (by not sending and indication of the ad to the client), but I don’t see that happening since most people don’t use adblockers and letting all of them easily skip past every ad is probably bad for profits.
I never noticed that the plural of axe and axis are spelled the same.
It doesn’t sound like the school is actually using it as an official communication platform (thank goodness), just that all of the student run clubs use it as their means of communication, which is just driven by where the majority of them like to communicate. Obviously this is a sign of the issue, which is that most teens are on social media all the time, so that it becomes their preferred mode of communication.
It’s because active noise cancelling is bad at cancelling sudden sounds, so many types of noise people want to protect against (gunshots, metal clanging at a construction site) would be poorly attenuated by current active noise cancellation technology. This is a not really a physics issue, just an active noise cancellation technology issue. Fundamentally active noise cancellation can and does reduce sound pressure, because the speaker basically “pushes against” the incoming pressure waves to flatten them out.
Do you know what the rated NRR is? The Wikipedia article doesn’t say so this doesn’t really answer the question.
Active noise cancelling does reduce the actual sound pressure (that’s the only way volume can be reduced). See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_device#Electronic_hearing_protection_devices.
I was actually wondering about this recently and I started thinking about how loud of sounds people working on the deck of an aircraft carrier would be exposed to. I found this interesting article about improving the hearing protection for them, because it turns out even for people who actually use both forms like they are supposed to (most of the people in the jobs exposed to the loudest sounds do, it would likely still be at the pain level for them if they only wore one so they have good motivation) it still isn’t enough for a full workday of exposure.
Here’s the link: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA455113.pdf. The exposure is something like 145-155 dB. They say a final checker will get to the safe limit in only a few takeoffs, and that assumes that they can recover in a below 84 dB environment when they aren’t working, which apparently also doesn’t happen. It seems like it isn’t really a solved problem of how to protect people being exposed to this kind of sound level.
It looks like it was made by a neuroscience lab to test how quickly people can learn to use a “Hand Augmentation Device,” I’m not really sure I would call that 3d printing enthusiasts.
What on earth is this video from; I’ve never seen it before.
Does the EU actually have any laws that would prevent a company from doing whatever they want to try to fight ad blockers? I mean it would be really cool if they did, but I would be shocked if any government required a company not to try to prevent users from circumventing the way they make money.
Same, that combination never causes me any problems (I use uMatrix too which is always causing problems, but I get to decide which domains to allow cookies, scripts, and XHR requests from/to).

No I still agree that we are far from LLMs being ‘thinking’ enough to be anywhere near this. But if we had a bunch of models similar to LLMs that could actually think, or if we really needed to select a person, I do think it would be possible to evaluate a bunch of the models/people to determine which ones are good at distinguishing fake information.
All I’m saying is I don’t think the limitation is actually our ability to select for capability in distinguishing fake information, I think the only limitation is fundamental to how current LLMs work.
I think that’s more a function of the fact that it’s difficult to verify that every one of the over 1M college graduates each year isn’t a “moron” (someone very bad about believing things other people made up). I think it would be possible to ensure a person has these critical thinking skills with a concerted effort.
I’m reading “decent review” as “put in the effort to make a thorough review” instead of “good review,” and I definitely agree that by accepting the free product they should be agreeing to put some effort into the review.
Given that anyone can access the posts, I would say that anyone (AI companies) can access the posts.
That is very strange, I wonder why Fortune feels the need to add that text. Why doesn’t the ‘embed title’ (or whatever it’s called) match the article title?
My handwriting isn’t very good, and I recently finished university. I avoided handwriting any time I could by typing things out and printing them off as needed, pretty much the only time I had to submit handwritten work was on exams, and for those I mostly just wrote a little slower than I usually would to make it a little neater (enough to be legible by others if they make some effort).
I never experienced exams I did at the university I went to (in the US) being marked off because they couldn’t read it, and I think the TAs that did most of the grading (students from higher years or graduate students) probably aren’t mean enough to take off points from a fellow student just for “bad handwriting.” Whoever was grading my exams was probably annoyed at having to read my writing, but I didn’t really encounter any big problems.
