  • No, there are at least 2 of us. Even the concept that it's somehow a useful measure to anyone else than your local tax authorities (except maybe for people running for public office) sounds a bit iffy to me.

    So you are right that giving it a name that ties it to your "worth" as a person is terrible.

  • ah I see you're still using "person" as a measurement unit instead of the more modern "net worth"

  • It's more that each person will have a moment in their life when they are at their gayest

  • To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.

    It's kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).

  • Well, "study" is already such a radical-left, woke concept! Like all those "studies" about vaccines. True MAGA Patriots go by gut feeling and by other things that are also produced in the guts!

  • facing scrutiny for saying BS? Come on, that's this admin's whole thing. The only thing he's facing is probably a "ha, that was a good one" with a complimentary slap on the back.

  • or CEOs

  • I can't imagine how sternly worded our letter to Russia is going to be! Scary stuff.

  • I use Every Door. It allows to add information to various types of features (shops, buildings and more) and I find it easy to use.

  • Might not be the biggest risk to your life but it's 2.3% out of 55 Millions death (so, just to put things into perspective, we're talking 1.6M deaths per year).

    Besides, the risk is not only death directly in an accident. For those 33% who died from heart diseases: stress is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the paper does mention specifically work stress as a risk factor

    The risk of a cardiovascular event was higher in patients with a history of social isolation (OR, 2.47), marital stress (OR, 2.28), work stress (OR, 3.2), childhood abuse (OR, 2.78), or trauma (OR, 2.67).

    Again not all of it will be due to commuting to work, but raising your stress levels by having you commute needlessly in traffic is not good for your health even if you don't die in a car crash.

  • How does the madman theory work when your head honcho is an actual, bona fide madman? Don't go anywhere, we'll find out right after this quick commercial war!

  • for me the dealbreaker is the lack of a second physical sim slot. I really like the concept of Fairphone and would absolutely buy one, but I have a work sim and a personal one, both physical (not eSim) so Samsung it is for now

  • "Showy? Useless? Expensive? Hurts poor people? Sounds pretty good but are you sure there is no way to put a yuge golden TRUMP sign on it?"

    Trump (probably)

  • "A grand transformation into AI is the only way out of growth declines resulting from a population shock," the ministry said in a statement, referring to South Korea's record low birthrate.

    The funny bit is how "AI companions" are one of the most profitable uses of AI so far . See how THAT increases a country's birthrate.

  • This is Analysis-Paralysis. Why should they spend all their time counting past crashes when they are busy increasing the production of new ones?

    /s

  • Ah yes "The Porn Loophole", was one of my favorites , I should still have it on a DVD somewhere.

  • Let's not talk about accusing Meta of murder for a minute, but can we at least agree that a "flirty chatbot modeled on Kendall Jenner" that insists you should meet in real life and gives you a real address does not sound like a great idea?

  • LLMs can't do protein folding. A specifically-trained Machine Learning model called AlphaFold did. Here's the paper.

    Developing, training and fine tuning that model was a research effort led by two guys who got a Nobel for it. Alphafold can't do conversation or give you hummus recipes, it knows shit about the structure of human language but can identify patterns in the domain where it has been specifically and painstakingly trained.

    It wasn't "hey chatGPT, show me how to fold a protein" is all I'm saying and the "superhuman reasoning capabilities" of current LLMs are still falling ridiculously short of much simpler problems.
