Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies

Personally, I want to see the removal of capitalism, as it is a terrible system, alongside other oppressive systems like the State. Because that doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t something congress would ever vote on, I support strong social systems, high taxes on the wealthy and corporations, strong environmental protections, and especially legislation that strengthens communities. Strong worker protections and benefits wouldn’t be bad to see either.

From any other company who runs a social media company with a spam problem, I’d say this is an interesting solution. You can identify some bots and sock-puppet accounts by PCI. For Musk’s twitter, I’m not exactly trusting it, it feels like enshittification is in full swing.

I wonder how this will affect diversity of opinion on twitter, since I feel those already critical of twitter won’t be as likely to spend a dollar

And I’m a little skeptical that this will dissuade botting, since 1$ is nothing

Neovim + LLDB, because I like vim motions and hate electron apps.

At work I used VS Code with vim integration, or an OpenSUSE tumbleweed VM with neovim, which I “integrated” into the windows terminal. Unfortunately, WSL was not allowed due to valid security concerns.

I’m a crpg fan, and a D&D/PF fan. For me, the thing that makes this game so fun is it feels like a streamlined D&D session. Sure, you can’t do as much as you would like in a D&D session, but you can do 99% of what you would typically want to do.

The other thing is the game is extremely polished. So many recent games have been underproduced, unpolished garbage with DLC/MTX shoved in and a $70 price tag. BG3 is a breath of fresh air. It’s not perfect, but the care and dedication that went into it clearly shows.

I feel what makes this game so popular is the fact that the game is just really well made. The story is great, the classes are much better balanced than 5e, and the amount of interesting solutions you can use to solve any problem is just fun. Add co-op, and the game becomes a blast to play with friends.

Considering the recent rise in trrpg popularity and fans of older titles in the franchise, Larian’s existing fans, and an early access that showed off the game as being fun and promising, I’m not surprised it ended up attracting a lot of players. If you have a large enough player base at launch, and an amazing game, I don’t think it is a surprise the game is lighting the world on fire.

That is a good thing and a bad thing. Self diagnosis will inevitably end with misdiagnosis.

I think AI has the potential to increase the amount of patients seen, and maybe even decrease cost, but in the enshittified American system I’m willing to bet it would not be close to the best outcome

I’m not an expert at ML or cardiology, but I was able to create models that could detect heart arrhythmias with upwards of 90% accuracy, higher accuracy than a cardiologist, and do so much faster.

Do I think AI can replace doctors? No. The amount of data needed to train a model is immense (granted I only had access to public sets), and detecting rarer conditions was not feasible. While AI will beat cardiologists in this one aspect, making predictions is not the only thing a cardiologist does.

But I think positioning AI as a tool to assist in triage, and to provide second opinions could be a massive boon for the industry.

While this article has been hilarious, I really wish it was more than just opportunistic talk from a corporation that likely only cares about this because it makes it harder for them to produce oracle linux. I mean, after all, Oracle believes that APIs are proprietary and hates interoperability.
