As it turns out, there is a cricket emoji.
I was envisioning “improvised heart surgery” as in a stabbing with a knife, as opposed to any surgical function.
But generally, if a someone is having a medical emergency and is brought into the ER, or is having a medical emergency in the ER, they will be triaged, and put ahead of a lot of people whose care isn’t as urgent, for good reason.
Basically. If someone’s been on the receiving end of improvised heart surgery, they’ll be rushed ahead in priorities. So if you’re not having anything serious, the wait may be irritating and long, but if it’s urgent, it will be shorter due to the whole actively dying bit.
Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.
Some time ago, never mind how long precisely, Plex were trying to legitimise themselves, by adding streaming from official sources, etc.
I would be curious if this is meant to be a deterrent, or just to look like one by making piracy expensive, so they can eat their cake and have it too.
I don’t know, photoshop exists, and it hasn’t stopped anything so far.
AI makes it easier, but may not do much to stop it.
Just look at Facebook, or the puff-jacket late pope. People do take AI-generated posts as the real thing so much of the time.
Especially since they’ve currently got a big, expensive war on their hands, that they’re all-hands-on-deck for.
And the insurance can boot you off, or refuse to cover you if you’re too expensive.
So if you got cancer, and had to spend a million dollars to treat it, your insurance could just go “okay, your treatment is too expensive, we’re not covering that, you’ll have to pay for this yourself”.
It used to be worse. Many years ago, they could outright decide not to cover some medical conditions of yours, deeming them to be “pre-existing”. So if you had diabetes, sorry, that’s a pre-existing condition. We don’t cover those.
Nail in the coffin is that Americans spend more money on healthcare, per capita, than most other countries, without marked improvement in care/outcomes.
I can’t imagine self hosting an LLM-based search engine would be too viable. The hardware demands, even for a relatively small quantised model, are considerable. Doubly so if you don’t have a GPU to accelerate with.
He’s going have the biggest, the greatest, the best tariffs.
What if he does a Harold Holt and mysteriously vanishes, never to be seen again?
Things that someone who isn’t the police would also say.
Worked for the US time and a half ago. It’s hardly the newest playbook.

It makes sense in war, since people need normalcy. Partaking in Ramadan is a nice grounding thing to do when everything else is exploding, and other normal traditions aren’t on the table. Religion is good for that.
Plus, Ramadan traditionally has exclusions if you’re not able to safely partake, like if you’re very old, very young, or ill. At worst, you simply have to pray for forgiveness for breaking your fast early (similar to if someone made you eat pork without your consent), and make up for it later.
Plus wealth generally means power and connections, all of which makes it easier for someone to get wealthy.
Microsoft would almost certainly have never become what it is if Bill Microsoft wasn’t wealthy enough to have a family computer ahead of most people being able to have one at home, and his mother wasn’t friends with an IBM chair.
Naturally, IBM would be much more likely to hire someone who comes with the recommendation of a higher-up than Afferige Mann, who is applying based on an ad in the paper, and has only worked retail.
Plus wealth gives a safety net. It didn’t matter for Bill if the first few Microsofts failed, he can try again until he hits it big. Afferige has non-such luck. If he starts a company and it folds, he may not have the money to start another.
Even if they did want children, without the support systems, it may not be feasible for them to have kids. Having them might mean choosing to starve or go without a house.
Even if you’re in a country with a public health care system, a sick/young child means having to take time off work to care for them.
Plus the Roman Catholic attitude is that God’s far too important to do little mundane things like that.
You have to put in the effort to get well, you can’t just sit back and expect God to do all the work.
I think they’re just poking fun at EV being about vehicles in general, and not specifically about the autocar.
Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he’s ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.
