15 Myths About Immigration Debunked

Enough with the FUD.
Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute offers nonpartisan facts in response to common myths about immigration.
It can, baby. Welcome to the light. And guess what, the experts agree. Martin Riese, the preeminent water sommelier, agrees that water is best served at room temperature. Cold water numbs your taste buds, he explained in an August 2020 video, which dulls the experience. It’s kind of like singing the roof of your mouth with hot pizza — after that everything tastes meh.
“When you put ice cubes on your palate you’re numbing all the aromas,” he said. “You can’t really taste anything anymore. Therefore, please drink you water [at] room temperature. It’s way better. It’s tastier.”
If language models such as ChatGPT are trained using the outputs of other AIs, they will become heavily biased, overly simple and disconnected from reality, researchers warn.

A copy stand is a tool used to capture images of photos, artwork, books, and things of a similar nature. It holds a camera perpendicular to a large and flat surface, upon which the subject rests.
They are handy, but there’s no need to spend a lot when [BlandPasta]’s DIY copy stand based on a cheap IKEA LACK table can be turned into an economical afternoon project with the help of simple hardware and a few 3D printed parts.
The main structure comes from a mixture of parts from two LACK tables: one small and one normal-sized. A tabletop is used as the bed, and the square legs make up the structural parts with the help of some printed pieces. A threaded rod combined with some captive hardware provides a way to adjust the camera up and down with a crank, while one can manually slide the horizontal camera mount as needed to frame the subject appropriately.
Coolest stuff on the planet. Interesting posts/articles about Earth – nature, animals, geography, science, history and more.
A team of scientists have successfully demonstrated the world’s first cosmic-ray GPS to detect movement underground and in volcanoes which can potentially aid in future search-and-rescue missions.
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outer space, including sources such as the sun, distant galaxies, supernovae, and other celestial bodies. Although we can’t see or feel cosmic rays directly, they constantly bombard the Earth from outer space.
In fact, these particles are so abundant that scientists estimate one cosmic ray hits one square centimeter of the Earth’s surface every minute! Scientists study cosmic rays to learn about the universe and how particles interact at high energies.
Current artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT do not have human-level intelligence and are not even as smart as a dog, Meta’s AI chief Yann LeCunn said. LeCun talked about the limitations of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, and said they are not very intelligent because they are solely trained on language.
Meta’s LeCun said that, in the future, there will be machines that are more intelligent than humans, which should not be seen as a threat.
Current artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT do not have human-level intelligence and are barely smarter than a dog, Meta’s AI chief said, as the debate over the dangers of the fast-growing technology rages on.
Meta’s AI chief said the company is working on training AI on video, rather than just on language, which is a tougher task.
In another example of current AI limitations, he said a five-month-old baby would look at an object floating and not think too much of it. However, a nine-month year old baby would look at this item and be surprised, as it realizes that an object shouldn’t float.
LeCun said we have “no idea how to reproduce this capacity with machines today. Until we can do this, we are not going to have human-level intelligence, we are not going to have dog level or cat level [intelligence].”
