Technically speaking abortion is the removal of foetal tissue, even if it's dead. It also includes the placenta.

And people have already died because doctors refused to remove a dead foetus fearing incarceration. As usual the Republicans didn't think about women when creating this law.

Comment Re:AI should be banned in the court room * (Score 2) 65

A language model produces language based on its training data. There is no way for it to produce something that is true, it just produces tokens which have a high probability of following the previous tokens. If your training data is legal documents then it will just be very good at producing legal documents that *look* right.

So maybe an AI can do what you say, but it won't be one that is based on the language models we're seeing today.

Comment just make it a leap hour already (Score 1) 103

Time zones are generally one hour wide.
So people are used to one-hour offsets, computers have one-hour offset code, ...
The people who care about a 1-second offset between wall-clock time and astronomical orientation are likely to use finer angular offsets anyway.
Leap seconds are added complexity for all that do not achieve the objective for the few.
