Before his government service, he was a partner at Soros Fund Management

LOL, you’d think the MAGA types would already be calling for his head based on that.

And:

Bessent has praised Trump’s proposal to implement broad tariffs

Aren’t you getting exactly what you wanted, Bessent?

And Canadian and Australian firefighters have less of an incentive to help out this time, given err recent events.

And you’d think a self-perceived business genius would be able to significantly increase the value of said purchase, not lose billions.

The scientist in Philadelphia signaled that he believes Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, is responsible for the NIH’s turn against mRNA research.

The FT source seems to be behind a paywall, and this article seems to be jumping between a bunch of possibly unrelated issues (focusing on young adult cognitive decline but looking at whole population reading rates and numeracy ability).

And as a respected media personality I can help round up others so they may toil in your underground sugar maple syrup caves.

Also they don’t work. Therefore, they have no value to society.

Of course, Republicans are working to make sure that children are sent to the factories and mines once more.

Don’t forget infrastructure week. Surely this will be the week?

Yeah, see the temper tantrum he threw during the meeting with Zelensky. They were just desperate to get a rise out of him, and they couldn’t even manage that.

Do you really think a fascist would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

It’s because impeachment is a partisan process. If the Republicans had an ounce of integrity (or even self-preservation) they would have joined the Democrats in voting to convict when Trump was impeached multiple times previously.

One issue I could see is using it not as a second opinion, but the only opinion. That doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be pursued, but the incentives toward laziness and cost-cutting are obvious.

EDIT: One another potential issue is the AI detection being more accurate with certain groups (i.e. White Europeans), which could result in underdiagnosis in minority groups if the training data set doesn’t include sufficient data for those groups. I’m not sure if that’s likely with breast cancer detection, however.

There’s also calibre-web for a self-hosted option with a web interface.

The FAA says all 80 people on board Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, were evacuated.

Putin and Trump are best friends so you might expect Russia to follow. But perhaps Putin wants to show he’s the dominant one in said relationship.

Good job Homer! You avoided blindness by only a single slice.

Inflation has generally dropped significantly in most developed countries and is mostly tied to post-pandemic effects and the war in Ukraine. So if you ignore the debilitating influence of Trump, you would expect inflation to continue to drop in the US too.

The 3% rate isn’t actually all that high currently, but you’d expect it to trend up again due to tariffs, both from the actual effects and as an excuse for companies to raise prices.

Or Trump could cause a serious recession/depression, in which case inflation will drop (but you won’t be able to buy anything anyway, since you’ll have lost your job).

Not the modern X.com to be clear; Musk just has a weird fetish for the letter X like an edgy teenager.

I’m not arguing in the slightest that FLAC shows an audible difference in most cases for most tracks. However, it just makes sense as an archival format given it’s lossless which means you can transcode to any other format without generational loss.

This means if there is a massive breakthrough in lossy compression in the future, I can use it for mobile purposes. If you store as lossy, you’re stuck with whatever losses have been incurred, forever.

(“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)

It’s plausible that he does believe it given how dumb he is.
