Reply to So what should we do? by googoobah
Every incremental step forward requires an exponential growth in computer power.
If you double computer power every couple of years, you can make a small step forward. There will be no giant leap.

In the 60s 70s, AI was'just around the corner'.
I studied AI in 1980 and AI just around the corner.
Now, after another 40 years, it is just around the corner.

Reply to comment by AcusTwinhammer in ELI5. What happens to ‘criminals’ when the law changes and what they were imprisoned for is no longer illegal? by L0rdTeddingt0n
"By much the same logic, if something is made illegal now, that doesn't mean you can be charged for doing it when it was still legal"
This 'reverse' case is not the same Logic in reverse.
If something was PREVIOUSLY LEGAL but now illegal, then it would be wrong to convict retrospectively, because that person kept to the law.
But...
If something was PREVIOUSLY ILLEGAL but now legalised, then their conviction was THEN first, but CONTINUED punishment means you continue to punish a person for something that is now deemed legal.

So if a man was imprisoned for consensual homosexual acts stays in prison even when the jaw changes.
Seems harsh considering that the law changed because it was deemed to be wrong.

Reply to ELI5: How did association football become the most popular sport in the world, more popular than any other sport that was spread around the world? by astarisaslave
You can play with any number of people (two is enough, even one person with a wall)
You can play anywhere (street, field, car park, small garden, beach)
You can play with zero equipment (tin can, any ball, school children often play with tennis balls, anything you can kick).

Reply to ELI5: Why is unhealthy food delicious? by TheFek
I worked with a child who was literally starving to death and couldn't eat for more than a minute a day (complicated reasons, parents refused tube feeding and courts were siding with the parents, at least temporarily.).
The medical advice was to feed the highest calorie creamy dessert we could find to get the most calories inside her in the shortest time.

That's last year. At the end of last year, several things happened.
Prices were slashed.
Share price dropped.
Musk insulted his customer base.

Reply to comment by SliceNSpice69 in Tesla just had its best week since May 2013 by upyoars
So you bought $200,000 of shares in Tesla, meaning you were already rich to start with.
If you only had 200,000 to start with, you would be a doll to invest it all in one company. So you must have had about a million to start with.

Yes, it is odd that anti Vaxxers say they don't need the vaccine because they have an immune system, but don't realise their immune system only works AFTER the virus has entered the body.

Reply to ELI5: If I were to eat a thousand Snickers bars, I would put on significantly more weight than if I were to eat a thousand heads of cabbage despite the huge disparity in weight of the pre-consumed food. Where does this mass come from? by marcuschookt
A weight gain of 47 pounds in a year is huge, yet it is only 2oz gain per day. 2oz is about 1/30th of your intake. So, it's not the mass of what you eat, it is the parts you retain

Pete Townshend predicted in 1970, only he called it The Grid. This included great social disharmony brought about by young people sitting at home and never going out, but instead communicating over the grid. "Teenage wasteland".
Also Horizontal Man by William Spencer, 1965.

Reply to ELI5: why do grocery stores in the US keep such a large inventory? Aside from being prepared for episodic panic buying like toilet paper or bottled water, is there an economic reason to do this? How much of the food ends up going bad? by DrEverythingBAlright
In the UK, stores get the recipes from TV food programs in advance so they can stock up. If 5 million watch Gordon Ramsey cook avacados, that will mean stores will sell more.
