FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers sayEnglish12·2 days agoEven better, we’re taking that money, and taking money from people on Medicaid in the US and then funneling all of it to the ultra rich via tax cuts!
Don’t listen to them, buddy, you’re just as good as the rest of the sooty owls.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans are racing to make Zohran Mamdani the face of the Democratic PartyEnglish81·8 days ago“And he wants to give you affordable health care! Public transit! Tax the rich! Can you believe this socialist? Wait, where are you going? Come back!”
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump, Hegseth slam news coverage of US intel report on Iran attack, say B-2 pilots upsetEnglish1721·8 days agoThose B2 pilots could hardly bomb straight on their next run. Happy now, people?
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•CDC to hire former head of anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr.English22·9 days agoThe shitty part is even if people still pursue vaccines despite new obstacles, we’re definitely losing herd immunity. Seems like these measles outbreaks are just a taste of things to come. What a timeline.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Don't tell me what to do.English64·9 days ago“RFK questions guidance on not putting spring rolls up your anus.”
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatmentsEnglish191·11 days agoTheir analysis also revealed that these nonclinical variations in text, which mimic how people really communicate, are more likely to change a model’s treatment recommendations for female patients, resulting in a higher percentage of women who were erroneously advised not to seek medical care, according to human doctors.
This is not an argument for LLMs (which people are deferring to an alarming rate) but I’d call out that this seems to be a bias in humans giving medical care as well.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some "toy programs" you've created?English11·12 days agoI built a script that runs on a raspberry pi with an nfc reader and speakers. It’s setup with nfc cards to play music for my kids. they don’t use it as much as they used to but it’s still going strong after four years!
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•ChatGPT use linked to cognitive declineEnglish32·14 days agoAnd management at my work is constantly pushing everyone to adopt more AI tools. Everytime I use it, I never really find it very helpful.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Too many non-working holidays in AmericaEnglish108·14 days agoI doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.
I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I’d be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1%English10·14 days agoAgreed. I’m not advocating for it, but subtle surgery with a reasonably skilled practitioner often flies under the radar if you didn’t know the person. The most common things like nose jobs and face lifts are almost routine at this point.
It’s not for me, but there is a confirmation bias around plastic surgery where bad results are highly visible and good results are almost invisible.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Many Hoped Senate Republicans Would Save Clean Energy. They Mostly Didn’t.English11·18 days agoI was gonna do shocked pikachu face, but he’s gotta roll coal now, poor guy.
I do, but not much these days. I’ve got kids and a career with meh work life balance. Sleep, exercise, and hobbies all compete for the remainder.
On a good weekend I can get a couple of hours in though.
