When you’re a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, …). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.

Sad but unfortunately fairly justified. Hard to justify spending public money on 3,500 users.

Just because it’s dangerous and not always fun doesn’t make it a “mission”. Exactly like when some rich schmuck pays 150k to climb Everest.

Can we stop calling it a “mission”? This is an expensive vacation for billionaires, not a scientific endeavor.

How do you explain that amyloid-targetting therapies are seeing some success, even if limited?

I’m not sure but I think some of these drugs can make permanent damage.

Obviously survival remains the topmost concern, but thinking about side effects sounds like the logical next step now that we’ve made tremendous progress with survival.

Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it’s just a matter of time though 😕

I don’t understand why they don’t use a second model to detect falsehoods instead of trying to fix it in the original LLM?

I wonder what the impact on piracy will be? It’s probably harder to rip streaming services than it is to rip blu-rays…

As an AI model, I cannot answer duplicate questions. Please check this completely unrelated question instead.

I’m not equating guns to phones. I’m showing that the argument about “digital education” holds no water.

So, should guns be allowed in schools, along with “good gun education”?

Smartphones serve no real purpose in school. Why allow this very problematic device that is not conducive to learning and tends to cause problems outside the class, too?

Smartphones are orders of magnitude more distracting than whatever existed before. Also, you can teach digital literacy all the while forbidding smartphone use outside of class, there is no real opposition there.

All of this is just noise designed to keep us talking about the site. You could call it bad advertising. We should stop feeding the troll.

Exactly, they’re trying to kill the competition but they’re obviously not going to damage their business.

Great idea! Just subscribed :)

I don’t agree that this is the real deal

What I meant is that we finally have a disease-modifying drug for humans. It opens a lot of possibilities. I do agree though that benefits for the patient are limited for the time being (unless we can prevent Alzheimer’s for pre-symptomatic symptoms, but that remains to be proven).

The current gold-standard is a PET scan. Not crazy hard but also not the most common equipment, and reasonably expensive.

There are multiple companies trying to develop simpler tests such as blood or retina tests.

This is the real deal, not “we cured Alzheimer’s in mice for the thousandth time”.

That said, it only slows the disease a bit, so it’s not that meaningful for patients yet. But, given that three years ago we didn’t have ANY disease-modifying drugs, I still find that very encouraging.

Now, the big question of course is, if we give this before symptoms happen (amyloid deposits start ten+ years before clinical symptoms), does it prevent the disease? But this will have to wait for a few more years.
