Ask yourself what the DoE has in regards to information in a viral infection? There's a reason they put that out and gullible like you are the reason. You dropped your "Fell for it again award". Where is any followup? This admin has every incentive and yet...

Still not covid, doesnt have the pieces and all of those have markers of something manamde of which Covid has none so either this is some black ops super secret thing or it's natural.

Which way western man? Showbiz or science. That fence must be splitting you in half.

Of which there are none? It's 12KM away in an incredibly dense urban enironment, you're just zooming the map out until it looks like you want.

Thanks for making my argument for me.

Surely this story, which is essentially true even if the style is propaganda-ish, is evidence that central planning by a communist government does not work. Of course it doesn't work here either, something the trump administration and gop seem to have forgot as they begin to exert control directly in American companies to get them to do things for the king.

I strongly suspect this cheap laptop will be locked down. No root, no exception to only allowing signed apps. This will be wildly successful. If you need "developer" access you'll need to buy a MacBook pro.

Hope I'm very wrong but every version of macos on the last few years has been stepping towards this sort of thing.

Seriously, this is a shot across the bow right at MS as I would bet the build quality and battery life will exceed what you can get from a $600 wintel machine.

Honestly will be a fantastic option for all those non-techy family members who we're all a little apprehensive about giving Windows to and for those of us without the skill or patience to transition to some flavor of Linux (which this hardware will still be nicer than).

For doing online browser stuff and media consumption the only reason not to recommend something like a Macbook Air has been the price. Complain about Apple all we want (and we should) but even the cheapest MacOS system is a very functional everyday user machine. There's a reason the decline of Windows has tracked the uptick of Mac systems, people like them. Gotta accept and acknowledge those facts if we want to change opinions on this.

These companies are not going to self regulate, especially the AI companies which have too many billions invested into them already, everyone with money is expecting to see huge returns on that, not a measured and regulated rollout of new tech. Only the law can do that now and there's likely a less than 1% chance of that happening in the next 2-3 years, there's no appetite and the admin is relying on AI to keep the stock market juiced up.

Public opinion isn't going to go very far right now. The opinions of large firms on AI could change if it starts to look like a liability on the books or if there is a bubble capable or bursting (which is going to be bad news all around but might need to happen) but not until then. The markets are not rational.

If you read that they actually say "low confidence"

Never been proved nor is there anything pointing towards WIV or anyone having the ability or knowledge to "make" covid.

They actually have a fairly high confidence of the *exact stall* it originated from. Funnily enough a viral researcher years prior went to that exact spot took photos and said "this is a pretty ripe spot for a spillover"

And yet he's 100k richer against a guy who has nothing but time money and resources to make his case and he couldnt, too many weird assumptions have to be made such as the fact that somehow, someway infected researchers lived in a giant crowded city, took trains 12km to the market (for some reason) multiple times, were out and about in the town and each other and no other infection clusters for months and months but suddenly every case early on was around the market.

Also China's official response is that covid *came from the US* as they want to cover up the fact that up-and-coming-china has people eating random wildlife meat from disgusting wet markets that the law looks the other way on it.

Your feelings don't change the facts so you know, good luck with that. you're so sweaty for a narrative to be true you're willing to contradict yourself on data sources.

There's plenty of shit to toss at China about Covid without some conspiracy.

Last year my son's high school economics teacher told her class to put a balance on their first credit card and make minimum payments on it to build credit, which is 100% incorrect. Financial literacy is a problem in this country.

Sort of, but lenders aren't looking for people who have good financial sense.

Lenders are looking for people who will borrow a lot of money, then continue paying on that loan. Which is not the same thing as having financial sense.

That is very possible because having open (especially long term) debts improves your credit rating. Once you pay it off completely, it's not open anymore.

Since the Cretaceous period, apparently. There is enough alcohol present in the environment that most species have found a way to metabolize it. Same with mercury: although it's not useful, it's omnipresence in the environment means our bodies needed to develop a way to deal with it.

Still available. It's not research, it was quoting research.

I read your post twice, but I'm not actually sure what you are saying.

I don't know the answer but DeepSeek does actively censor things.

Not to call you ignorant, but Evergrand trading was suspended, the chairman was arrested, and the company was liquidated.

I've looked, and I can't find that they've published a paper explaining their methods. We don't know how much input humans gave to help them solve the problem.

If they solved it with nothing more than the problem description, that does seem impressive.
