Yup. "Autism" is simply the new "Untermensch."
I'm in your home right now. I can hear you breathing. You'll never find me.
Please. At least use his full and proper name, Secretary of Transportation Booty Judge.
It sounds like he's confusing autism with cerebral palsy or severe Down syndrome.
I also went to Buenos Aires. I had my face rebuilt there!
because then anyone could put garbage in the receptacle.
This is when you're so capitalism brained that you're willing to shoot yourself in the foot. So much unnecessary complexity, so many ways for things to break, all just to keep a random pedestrian from throwing a sandwich wrapper in a random bin. So concerned about someone getting a service they 'don't deserve' for free that they would rather live in filth than just eat the minor cost and live in a sanitary city.
This just screams good old-fashioned political machine corruption. The garbage collectors are unionized and have a good bit of political influence. It seems like NYC has been running its trash collection as a make-work program for years. The only advantage of doing trash this way is that it means you need to hire way more garbage collectors than you would with other systems. I'm all for having well paid jobs and providing people opportunities, but there are ways to do that without creating a huge public health nuisance.
I mean, not sure where you're at. But if you're in the US, relying on insurance, and you want surgery, you should move Heaven and Earth to get it done as quickly as possible. The way this admin is going, insurance coverage is a very unstable thing right now.
Fun fact. The black market price for progesterone in bulk is about about $200-500/kilo.
Thanks. I took a bath tonight because of this post.
Similar to the Spanish Flu, which every country named after some other country.
In honor of this tradition, when Covid was at its peak, we jokingly referred to it as "the Cordoba virus" instead of "the Coronavirus." Because all flus have to come from Spain, for some reason.
I personally like the term, "pirate hormones."
Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee! Do what you want cause a pirate is free!
Also we should rename the bird to "türkiye."
I see a major problem with this. Why would we assume dolphins have one single language? I see no reason to assume their languages wouldn't be as diverse as ours.
But worse still, you have to factor in the decline in dolphin populations over time. Maybe at their natural numbers, there would have be many thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by tens of thousands of dolphins. But we've severely degraded their numbers. Now each dolphin language is the equivalent of one of those dying indigenous languages that now only has a handful of living speakers. Dolphin language might be a collection of such near-extinct languages, each highly distinct from each other. Maybe there's thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by only a few dozen dolphins.
And unlike human languages, these dolphin languages weren't replaced by some broader hegemonic dolphin language, a dolphin English, Spanish, Mandarin, etc. There is no dolphin lingua franca that we can train the model on. There's just a whole series of dolphin language remnants, mutually incomprehensible to each other.
This is a real problem because LLMs require vast quantities of data to train on. It may simply not be possible to gather enough samples of a single dolphin language sufficient in quantity to train an LLM on.
I don't know if we really want to talk to dolphins. Those things are godless.
Does anyone speak Spanish?"
Fuego en el bano! Fuego en el bano!
The supreme court says that the US government just needs to "facilitate" his return.
Any good-faith reading would interpret "facilitate" as the US needs to do everything in its power to bring him back. Roberts tried to do Trump a solid by using very polite language in the Court's order. You are repeating the administration's bad faith interpretation of the ruling, rather than what any lawyer practicing in good faith would actually interpret the order as.
Roberts tried to hand Trump a way to come down from this gently. This is going to go back to SCOTUS, at which point they will issue a ruling that is completely unambiguous and has no wiggle room for bad faith interpretations.
