According to Wikipedia, the lethal dose of table salt is 0.5-1g/kg, not 10 as stated in the post.

These numbers look very questionable. Twice as much salt as alcohol to kill someone? I’m sorry but I call bullshit.
- Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets 7 months ago:
Yeah, same here. It’s a pretty specific demand when bluetooth headphones have become really good and actually have a lot of advantages compared to wired ones. Also there is always the option to use a USB C dongle so it’s really not that big of a deal.

They explain very thoroughly on their website why they did it:

The moment Adobe Creative Cloud works on Linx, I’ll switch. Until then I’ll have to stick with Windows.

It is mine. There is a room with each tenant’ washing machine in the basement and that is a typical situation in Germany.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 7 months ago:
Not trying to defend stupid internet connectivity but my washing machine is in the basement in a shared laundry room while I live on the second floor of the apartment building. No way I’ll hear it beep so a notification would be very useful actually.

- Comment on Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated 11 months ago:
I’ve had exactly this discussion with a friend recently. I share your opinion, he shared what seems to be the view of the majority here. I just don’t see what the qualitative difference between the brain and a data-based AI would be. It almost seems to me like people have problems accepting the fact that they’re not more than biological machines. Like there must be something that makes them special, that gives them some sort of “soul” even when it’s in a non-religious and non-spiritual way. Some qualitative difference between them and the computer. I don’t think there necessarily is one. Look at how many things people get wrong. Look at how bad we are at simple logic sometimes. We have a better sense of some things like plausibility because we have a different set of experiences that is rooted in our physical life. I think it’s entirely possible that we will be able to create robots that are more similar to human beings than we’d like them to be. I even think it’s possible that they would have qualia. I just don’t see why not.
I know that there is a debate about machine learning AI and symbolic AI. I’m not an expert to be fair, but I have not seen any possible explanation as to why only symbolic AI would be “true” AI, even though many people seem to believe that.

Ah okay. Well maybe GPT 4 is better than I thought. I’m kind of happy to be wrong, it’s really impressive if it’s real.
- Comment on Unauthorized “David Attenborough” AI clone narrates developer’s life, goes viral 11 months ago:
I honestly kind of doubt that. It’s too good.
- Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS 11 months ago:
I think green bubbles (non iPhone) means it’s using SMS so it can cost people money to send messages, especially images which would be sent as MMS I guess.

As a woman: I’d love to use bigger phones - as soon as they give me pockets I can fit them into.
