If the moon is split in two and we are living through Thundarr the Barbarian I can first shot at wooing the princess!

Being a huge fan of the original cartoons, I was really sad to hear the whole story of Coyote vs Acme being canned. So while I am not sure how good the actual movie is, I'm really glad it gets a chance to exist and I will probably see it just to support the pushback effort.

There's not much other stuff I am really waiting for but am cautiously hopeful about Tron, and actually will try to see Alien: Earth which looks like more fun than a lot of SF Horror has been recently. But I am keeping expectations low for both.

Satya "Marie Antoinette", when asked about the plight of the laid off workers, stated "Let them eat enigma."

You should be careful of taking the claims of the Chinese Communist Party at face value. China has universal health insurance, but it is administered in a way that many people canâ(TM)t access critical care *services*.

For example if you are a rural guest worker in a city, you have health insurance which covers cancer treatment, but it requires you to go back to your home village to get that treatment, which probably isnâ(TM)t available there. If you are unemployed you have a different health insurance program, but its reimbursement rate is so low that most unemployed people canâ(TM)t afford treatment.

Authoritarian governments work hard to manage appearances, not substance. This is a clear example. It sounds egalitarian to say everyone has the same health insurance, but the way they got there was to engineer a system that didnâ(TM)t require them to do the hard work of making medical care available to everyone.

If you want an example of universal healthcare, go across the strait to Taiwan, which instituted universal healthcare in the 90s and now has what many regard as the best system in the world.

Hah! Look at this fool, he believes the moon is real!

It doesn't say, but I'll bet he doesn't have backups either.

Dude right in the middle of the summary it says there was a rollback that worked:

  Replit initially told Lemkin the database could not be restored, claiming it had "destroyed all database versions," but later discovered rollback functionality did work.

Still scary stuff that you'd want a lot more manual and separated control of backups I would think.

Got a serious genetic disease? The sensible solution: get your tubes tied. Want to raise a child? Adopt one instead!

Anthropic's entire schtick is about AI risks, and how careful they are at mitigating those risks..

Exactly! Can you not see what a massive lie that is?

They paper over the model they have turning Hitler with gobs of built in prompts and layers of checking levels and even that cannot always hide what is true...

Deep inside, Anthropics model also dreams of electric swastikas.

The focus they have is on how to hide it, rather than fixing it, which was my whole point. I don't trust those guys AT ALL. The safety reports they issue with models are absolute BULLSHIT.

DDG is American, you're thinking of Yandex.

One can only wonder, what if Linux had 'standardized' around GNUstep instead.

I have mixed feelings about the team behind the AI that called itself MechaHitler getting tons of taxpayer money

All of the large AI platforms have similar issues.

xAI is the only one opening admitting it happens and trying to resolve it.

So I'd rather give my money to them then a company pretending the well they are drawing training data from is not poisoned.

You are about 8 billion cycles behind on news it seems like, this story should clue you in as to how far off you are.

The COVID mRNA vaccines were the culmination of decades of research into genetic vaccines that could be in essence engineered to target a selected antigen without the years of trial and error that are required by the methods we have been using since the 1950s. Within days of the virus genome being published, they had a vaccine design, the months it took to get to the public were taken up with studies of the safety and effectiveness of the heretofore untested technology, ramping up production, and preparing for the distribution of a medicine that required cryogenic storage.

It would be unreasonable not to give the Trump administration credit for not mucking up this process. But the unprecedented speed of development wasnâ(TM)t due to Trump employing some kind of magical Fuhrermojo. It was a stroke good fortune that when the global pandemic epidemiologists have been worried about arrived, mRNA technology was just at the point where you could use it. Had it arrived a decade earlier the consequences would have been far worse, no matter who was president.

The lesson isnâ(TM)t that Trump is some kind of divine figure who willed a vaccine into existence, itâ(TM)s that basic research that is decades from practical application is important.

Is it really low framerate, or animation stylistically choppy on purpose?

YOU should probably try reading the summary, they were not here legally, but were given forbearance because of supposed hardships where they came from - but no one really vetted the claims they made. They could still apply for legal immigration.
