Well it's not like the predictive power of a physical exam is all that great. So you might be looking at a big impact on your lifestyle or career based on a false or small increase in risk (you tell yourself).

I know in military aviation there are games people play to avoid getting kicked off the flight line.

or to the point, the King Air 200's certification does not require a copilot. Pilot incapacitated, you're hosed. I guess it makes sense this technology would start near the upper end of single-pilot aircraft.

Yes, it's called "D-K Posterboy-itus".

Congenital, I think.

Meet Pop.

Is even shooging against the law now?

Sure, like people crave sugar. But change the balance of nutrients and you change the body composition.

Sure, mankind isn't going extinct over this. But nature operates in a very brutish manner. If I can avoid health problems by popping a multivitamin or something, I want to know that.

I can't imagine much of a solution beyond just making it giggle and say, "that's too grown up for me!" to most questions. Having a plush toy take on questions like "is capitalism good?" or "is Trump a grifter?" is just doomed from the start.

To that end, I wonder if there is (or ought to be) a different word for when everybody is in on the joke. Or is that just 'meme stock?' Nobody is buying these particular stocks in the hopes of future dividends justifying the purchase price. Whereas in bubbles like Worldcom, or early Railroads, they did. Then there's Tesla which seems to be some of both.

I'll be surprised if I find out EOs have any authority outside the executive branch of the federal government. Otherwise a presnit could just unilaterally ban abortion, change federal, state, and locals laws and tax rates, disband Congress...

So join ANTIFAI - anti-f*-ai.

Though it might get you labeled as a ter'ist. Especially if you don't buy the products they're pushing.

It surprises me is that there is much real tension between basic research and application development two exists in Meta. For any normal company, sure. But this is a company that spent over $70 billion dollars on VR that nobody ever wanted. And they can't fund both AI research and, separately, application development?

Pulling repeated hardware platform switches underneath without bothering customers too much is a thing that only a very competent company could do, and Apple is a very competent company.

What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?

*scenario*

"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."

"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."

Apple nowadays is bound to avoid any huge missteps, because it has become a very conservative company.

Granted they blew some on the Vision Pro, but not much, for them. They folded on the electric car project, which now seems like a shame as Tesla is vulnerable.

What revolutionary product has Apple launched since Steve Jobs died? It has been 14 years, and I'm still waiting.
