This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.

Testing AI isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

NY is just doing their job* yet have to bitch about it. That's a clue about how well this will work out.

Given the pace of government it's not crazy to think that a two year old model will be certified as licensed and NY residents won't be allowed to use newer models.

The effectiveness will be as a jobs program for a few people. Or for a few politicians to take corporate bribes for a repeal.

* I haven't read the NY Constitution in decades ... "presumably"

That guy breaking his contracts and agreements?

How preposterous!

As a Conservationist I'm a big fan of game preserves.

Who at Nintendo is coordinating donations?

I have a preserve just a mile up the way from me.

As long as the US State Department is letting the "Chinese Spy" stay in the US we need to question the narrative

France wants the US to enter its war against Russia directly so it's trying to merge the Ukraine and Iran conflicts.

Ukraine already attacked an Iran boat to curry favor but backed off when Iran threatened missile strikes.

El Cheeto is participating by saying 'he' will blockade Iranian commerce in the Caspian Sea.

US has no assets there but Ukraine has long range drones and Flamingo missiles.

"Iran melted our ice cream" is a freebie to the DC Warmongers' narrative.

It'll help Macron get the ECB job he wants.

I'm just super impressed that he could generate any kind of video at all with his VIC-20.

Feds: Chinese spy.
Also feds: Not revoking her visa.

Hrmmm.

> look at McCoy's face in the background of the car accident scene. That's the level of degredation in images in the PDF text format.

Holy smokes, thanks for mentioning that.

I figured the _text.pdf was just a merge of the pdf with the OCR text. Why in the world...

This seems to work:

```
pipx install internetarchive
ia download --search 'collection:starlogmagazine' --glob="*.pdf|*_djvu.txt" --exclude="*_text.pdf"
```

If you really wanted to you could get the raw OCR files and figure out how to recombine them ... I'll settle for grep.

Transfer speed seems to be capped at about 500KBps. Party like it's Frame Relay days.

Younger folks could engage in some real cultural anthropology of their grandparents' time.

The repo will just shrink as more packages take on some LLM patches. This doesn't make practical sense.

It's worth reviewing the ongoing battles between DeVault and Lunduke and you decide who is telling the truth. e.g. Stallman-report.org .

Just do a web search - DDG gets the headlines at least.

No, the correlation is 100% and diagnostic.

The causation theory is effectively fraud.

Beta amyloid im the brain is akin to scar tissue papering over the killed neurons. They do get in the way of repair so clearance is probably good.

Until the root cause is identified and solved just getting rid of the scar tissue isn't enough.

The research that identifies a prion-like cascade in the tau microtubules are probably right.

These have their resonances either dampened (anesthetics) or tuned (psychedelics) affecting consciousness so degradation in Alzheimer's is consistent with real-world observation.

Microdosing LSD has shown positive benefit but it can't outrun the destruction over time.

Perhaps a custom mab can be developed.

It's an End of the World religion.

You're not allowed to challenge their beliefs.

No surveillance or surreptitious training of AI will happen, for sure.

Make sure that you thoroughly review and test the design of the cylinder head bolts.

I know a programmer with a vision disability (brain not eyes) who cannot write in Python only and explicitly because of the whitespace thing.

Languages with braces are zero problem.

This makes a programmer ineligible for a large number of jobs on the market.

I've offered to write a preprocessor to allow braces if it ever became a deal breaker for a job.

The second biggest problem with disabilities is when an implementer makes a decision having no idea that decision is unworkable for a disabled person.

The ultimate biggest problem is when the community says "who cares?"

And this isn't the stupid wheelchair ramp on a cabin at the end of a 3-mile mountain climb, it's being a successful programmer for two decades and then "sorry, we're switching to a language you can't see, sucks to be you."
