Exactly. We adapt. As a recent example see this, growing hops under solar panels.

First substitute for bard that I tried was "elephant". Answer was "tnelpE". The article should just as well say that sometimes the various LLM's roll 6.

Exactly. It works because it doesn't involve telco's.

Yes indeed. Infuriating. May the forth be with ewe.

The worlds oceans being 40% less salty now seems rather unlikely, imho. What was the mechanism that caused the oceans being less salty now?

Exactly. Hopefully other parts of the world will follow suite. Netflix sneakily raised my subscription some time back which went unnoticed for years with me paying 12.99 instead of 8.99 (I think they were the numbers, either that or 11.99 and 7.99). Recently I noticed this and I hadn't even used their service for almost 2 years so I cancelled it. Something like this system in India would likely have brought the scam to my attention much sooner.

D614G, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta all had mutations to the spike protein. With an apparent increase in infectiousness. I think what you have said is somewhat misleading.

Also, from what I've read, it's not just bang, the spike goes into the ACE2 receptor, there are steps. I recall something like TMPRSS2 etc in the pathway.

> Shutting the border only delays the inevitable by a few days/weeks. Bullshit. A hand full of cases coming into a country can be tracked. Just look at New Zealand and Australia who have categorically proven that you are talking bullshit.

Umm, if you've been to an IETF meeting and witnessed a couple of people opposing the consensus just by humming louder than everyone else in the room, then you know that, yes, that's exactly the problem. 12 year olds with no social awareness and a complete lack of that thing that stops the rest of us doing something because it would be incredibly embarrassing. Generally, people hum softly, but when a handful don't It's pretty appalling to witness, particularly if you've ponied up your own funds to be there and not on some corporate funded junket.

Yes, it's the same. The longer version says what the actual mutation was, D->G

Wow, glad these guys didn't work on ui things like the pc mouse which we'd now know as a small device basically the same size as a side table on casters...

What about the world series?

Oh bullshit. rms did f*ck all. He created a useless editor and an impossible to maintain compiler. Oh, and an insane copyright that genuinely makes it difficult for companies (and programmers) to make a living. yay! He should be barred from attending an event that is truly one of the most notable events in our industry - the fiftieth birthday of unix. Unix is significant to opensource because it was readily licensed, and extremely cheaply at that, to universities (as I recall, 500 dollars back in the day). Decades of computer science students got to read the source code of a well written operating system. For instance, remember the Lions' commentaries. The beautifully succinct code wasn't just about how to program, it was about how to architect software. They delivered again with plan9, a wonderfully easy operating system to comprehend. Open source has benefited because there are generations of programmers who have aspired to the quality to which software should be written, and that it should be seen by as many people as possible. - Mark
