There’s a point in the movie Frank where the protagonist is talking to the parents of the mentally disabled musical savant he rode to fame and the subject eventually turns to his disability. The protagonist suggests to Frank’s parents that Frank’s experiences with mental illness are probably what made him so good at music. The parents object, and insist that he was always good at music; his illness only ever held him back.

When you get very advanced you can also skip those other two steps.

The first attempts at IVF were quite misguided.

They changed from a deterministic model to a statistical one just for a (supposed)10% bump in “travel time”? I’d love to see what kind of data they’re using to evaluate this change; shame the article is just a bunch of empty PR.

AI probably would have written something equally useless but more tactful. Maybe MS should consider replacing this exec with an AI?

Someone taking IQ seriously, especially their own, is a great way to know who’s opinions should be completely ignored.

Huh, that’s surprising. I guess I assumed they’d use some kind of archaic corny slant rhyming slur over there.

They lure you in with the sweet word of Islam then BAM next thing you know you’re hailing ~~Satan~~ Stalin and trying to do mutual aid. I can see why god cast this devious wretch out of heaven.

What is democracy

 

payload appears to have been hidden in test data then decrypted and injected during the build process.

 

I have organized airlifts of women legislators, judges, and journalists out of Afghanistan as Kabul fell; delivered ongoing aid to Ukrainian front-line villages during Russia’s invasion; worked on efforts to build runways, roads, and highways to deliver aid to Rwandan refugees after the genocide; and delivered aid shipments to enclaves besieged and under attack by the Syrian army.

None of it prepared me for the challenges of trying to bring a few trucks of food and medicine per week into the Gaza Strip.

It’s easy to point the finger at Israel, the country that is implementing the blockade of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, half of whom are children. Yet trying to work the issue from every angle on a daily basis to get urgent medical and food aid in, I’ve come to the conclusion that President Joe Biden, for whom I hosted fundraisers and worked to elect in 2020, has signed on to Israel’s end goal of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

 

They’re mad that you don’t have to write a tabletop character backstory to register at those instances.
