I suspect the underlying economic model allows the producers and protagonists to generate additional income from books, podcasts, and speaking fees which make ad sales for the broadcast episodes less important. In our content hungry 24/7...

But... but... what else out in the woods at night might be making weird creepy sounds?

And, as with all of the supernatural "woo" shows, they have to find a way to keep interest and a story going in the absence of any resolution, ever. Anything called "Finding Bigfoot" has to deal with the fact that they will never find Bigfoot...

However, the genius of the periodic table id it predicts many of the properties of the elements in the as-yet-undiscovered boxes. A real boon to those seeking element 115 would have been that, by virtue of it BEING 115, they knew a lot about...

Just to follow on from this, not only did Knapp and Corbell know in 1993 there was little evidence of Lazar being a physicist at LANL, it appears Knapp also doubted Lazar ever achieved the various degrees he claimed to have received. Knapp...

Our argument is not that every reported sighting was Russian-directed, or that every reported sighting involved a UAV, but that the aggregate pattern of UAV sightings cannot be adequately explained by misidentification, hobbyist activity or...

I think the idea here is to have the LLM generate code that allows you to process some data -- and presumable make a persuasive display out of it, which is pretty reasonable if you use one of the more coding-oriented LLMs and have some idea of...

The task of creating quite complicated apps is remarkably easy now, and will become even easier over the next few years. Whether they work and how useful they are will be a mixed bag. AI coding agents suffer from an eagerness to please...

Follow up question as I'm still relatively uninformed on proper vs irrational uses of AI; how well is the average user able to constrain which data the LLM will explore as part of the prompt? What happens if the user specifies a GIGO database...

@uapreads There is nothing mysterious about predicting E115. Elements where being synthesised. And just weeks before Lazar came out with his story, A science magazine had run a story on scientists quest to synthesize E114-E116. Even spoke...

Did the first person to discover a Wolpertinger know what it was? It's the discovery that defines what it is. Of course, you need independent verification to make it proper science, and fortunately jackalopes were later discovered in the US...

If he doesn't know what it is, couldn't it be E76 or E82? How can you "discover" an element, but not know what it is?
