Yes that’s why they should be allowed

Machine Learning has revolutionized protein folding and plenty of other sciences.

I actually work in the field of protein crystallography. Contrary to newspaper reporting by people who don’t understand the field and just repeat what the people who developed the tool say about it, it has made just a small improvement to analysing experimental data which we could have easily made using traditional algorithmic approaches with a similar amount of resources spent. And this is one of its biggest legitimate impacts - it absolutely hasn’t “revolutionised plenty of other sciences”, or you’d be able to list more things than just alphafold.

It doesn’t improve programmer productivity, it increases the lines of code created, which is a really bad metric for productivity. There is good evidence that its use is already leading to increased code churn, that means someone is having to go back and revisit the additional new errors introduced by AI tools, which is obviously less productive.

AI is here to stay. It’s far to impactfull as a technology

Gonna need some proof for that. So far it doesn’t actually do anything useful.

No it won’t, the thermal mass of the car is way higher than a few of its volumes of air, and it’s still sitting in the sun too

French remained influential in the courts, higher education, and elite society long after it stopped being the “official” language. That last part is totally right.

Sure, but many of those words for specialised doctors came to English through French, not directly from Latin or Greek. And I don’t think that you can reasonably argue that English words with French origins aren’t by now a native part of the language. We use many of the same names in Dutch too, coming from French loanwords.

“ear-nose-throat” is commonly used in English.

And it kind of is like the medical field popped into existence in the 1700s.

Reading through a random deck is not remotely the same as watching a presentation

I find the summaries pretty worthless but a transcript is super useful

Only stuff that starts off heavier than lead, and even then not everything, some decay chains stop at thallium instead. Cobalt, with atomic number 27, won’t ever become lead, with 55 more protons.

Nickel is not extremely edible lol

I know you generally hate it but I have met individuals who (claim to) like it

Nah, I know Finnish people who like winter and their winters are hard core.

In my opinion yeah, the texture is better, smoother, when they’re freshly brined as opposed to the more crumbly/flaky texture when they’re marinaded in vinegar. But Danish picked herring is also delicious.

Yeah. I’ve had a wide variation of them, some are awful like the ones you had, some are just okay. If they are shelf stable they’re usually never good, but you can get vinegar pickled ones in refrigerated jars or pouches which can sometimes be a bit nice if you’re into that. I would definitely recommend them over tinned ones. But none of them come anywhere close to the real delicacy that’s in that photo.

Even though they’re “pickled” these don’t really keep so you don’t really see them overseas much.

I guess you’re Dutch, you might not know that in English ‘pickled’ doesn’t only refer to things in vinegar, but it can also refer to things put in salt brine for a few days like maatjes.

It would have to be cooked to be in a tin. You can get jarred pickled herring but it’s nowhere near as good as a fresh salted herring.

It’s very soft, you eat it with the skin. The Dutch version of salted herring is the nicest one (compared to Nordic and Baltic versions), it’s quite mild flavoured and has a great raw-fish kind of texture. Ones which are pickled longer are still nice but can get a bit floury sometimes.
